Figuarts Sky High

        I can't believe he's one of the last T&B Figuarts I snagged, either.  Listen, I had priorities.

        Shiny in the box, as one would expect.  For whatever reason this box also proved to be completely impossible to get a decently sharp picture of, but whatever, it's long recycled by now.




        And of course our boy Keith doing his Sky High things.  Will never get over Product Placement being a feature.



        There's actually quite a bit that comes with him, even if he's technically pretty low on the number of interchangeable parts and accessories.  I have no idea why his right toe was angled up, but there were additional moments of drama as documented in this blog post.  He's fine now.  We're all fine now.



        Fly!  Or getting close to it, anyway.  Rockets, arms out, coat... out.  Dramatic takeoff and all.  And a really good look at how shiny he really is, along with how that silver is very subtly lilac-tinted.  ...It made paint matching just that much more of a pain, but it looks nice.



        He does of course have all the motion and poseability of the other Figuarts figures, which will always be a delight to me.  Just well-designed and detailed.



        Speaking of the detail!  Gorgeous little touches everywhere, and the little semi-translucent jetpack exhaust effect pieces are attached just tightly enough to stay on.



        Of course it must me said that there isn't a huge variation in some of the hands, but enough to count.  They are unfortunately just as challenging to pop on as ever, but eventually you just develop your own technique.  Swearing is always part of the technique.



        I call this "concerned jazz hands".



        Of course we need the ass shot, but... well, I didn't expect there to be writing all over it.  Flat as a board, poor dude.



        I must also point out my favorite set of accessories, particularly because Tiger & Bunny fans will know how horrible this is and roughly how much I laughed about it.  The teeny tiny gold tip that I am too concerned to remove from the plastic because I just can't stand losing it is the lost piece of the alternate helmet from... a specific scene.  So bad/so good.



        So "give me your lunch money".  (I know, I  know.)
