Hatake Kakashi [Ochatomo series Naruto Shippuden Konoha no Break Time] Review

Finally I managed to get these petits. This is my second attempt after the first one was cancelled, I just want these Kakashi, but taken away as priority as whole set by other people.

So, let's get going to the box..

This is so far the most delightful figure box I've ever seen. Maybe due to its composition and combination of foods and beverages which looks cute and elegant (also colorful), after all this is a tea set, so it must meet the standards of aesthetics sense.

the roster of the series

silver sticker indicates asia version

Beside of the figure, the package contain a coaster with each character imprinted on it..

Kakashi A

Kakashi B

And come to feature..

At first I like the B version better than the other one, due to its default appearance of Kakashi..

But when I got them in hand, I prefer the sleepy Kakashi. Also the A ver. is easier to set-up (hanging) due to Kakashi's hand pose which looks like hook.

the hand pose similar to hook

But this version also come to the cons, you get a bigger cup rim and he won't be able to hang onto it (the hand gap is fix), in which also a pros to B version because of the leg-hooking-pose. Somehow I love both version with each pros and cons.

a rather safe leg-hooking-pose-angle

And I haven't tried other type of cup yet, which come in variety of tilt angle. It could make some other issues.

Let's get closer..

tools bag

weapon purse

These chibi style is so cute. The sculpt are pretty accurate, the red emblem, tools bag, weapon purse, forehead protector are all there precisely, and there is.. icha icha tactics :D. The paint job, even with some flaws like scratches and bleeding, all are still acceptable.

IMHO I think these series are worthy and very suitable for you who have passion on food photography, or for casual food-stagram. These pieces will sweeten your shots. So, go get them while you can.

And here are "My Point":
Sculpt: 8/10 (there're some nubmark -excess of molding-)
Paint: 8/10 (some scratches and bleeds)
Gimmick: 9.5/10 (the unique feature of hang to the cup/bowl)

And as a closure, here some additional review of Kakashi keychain which I get as a bonus when I bought gashapons a while ago.

It's pretty simple which contain Kakashi and his favorite novel "Icha Icha Paradise"

Hatake Kakashi [Imagination series] Review - カカシ 口寄せの術

Here we go again.. like I promised, we'll review another Hatake Kakashi figure.

This is trading figure from Bandai, coming in blind box, part of Imagination series. The rest of this series collection are as follow:

Let's check the package

Fresh from the box.. I got this on MIP (Mint in Plastic) condition.

Mold separately into some part, we need to assembly them for a moment, but no glue is neccesary.

without Kakashi

They are come along with plugs and holes to snap together and lock the composition.

And here they are..

This figure stand app. 2.75inch (7cm). With this size, the sculpt are amazingly detail. Look at the weapon purse and tools bag, it sculpted accurately.

But not for the paints, it lacks pretty much on some spot, and they happen only on back side, the front side is okay. He missed some red emblems on both upper arms and some button vest on his back

But overall I love this piece, Kakashi looks cool on his expression and pose, also the proportion is so right. Inspite of the lack of paints on some point, the tone color is so much worth.

Yes, for you who wonder, this diorama figure is take theme and title on Kakashi Kuchiyose no Jutsu (カカシ 口寄せの術, Kakashi Summoning Technique). And as you knew, Kakashi contract animal is dog, or called Ninken (忍犬,  means Ninja Hounds / Ninja Dogs).

And here are the 7 Ninken, wait.. only seven, but why, is it supposed to be 8? We'll discuss that later. So here they are..

Pakkun (パックン)

Bull (ブル, Buru)

Shiba (シバ)

Bisuke (ビスケ)

Akino (アキノ)

Ūhei (ウーヘイ)

Guruko (グルコ)

Yes, as you notice, we missed Urushi here. I have to admit I haven't finished reading Naruto manga yet, so I dont't know why, maybe there's connection with this loss. But perhaps you could explain that, let me know by the comment.

Forget that, and let's look at the Ninken back, yes, the detail is there.. there are face-shaped design on their backs called Henohenomoheji (へのへのもへじ) — which is the sound made when all the characters in the face are put together. Appropriately enough, children use this design as the face for their scarecrows, which is "kakashi" in Japanese. (source: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ninken)

And for you who noticed it.. Yes, that's right as you guessed, this figure has semi translucent material, and as always, this is an interesting stuff for me.

I've played with the feature and here they go..

And finally my point:
Sculpt: 9/10 (Kakashi looks cool here)
Paint: 8/10 (should be 7 saved by the tone)
Gimmick: 9/10 (many great detail, ninken, semi-translucent stuff)

So that's all for this review. Maybe I'll write another one when I get some Kakashi stuff.

So, until next time..
