Shinobu has a different idea of role playing, or maybe it’s me the D&D nerd that’s got the uncommon definition of role playing. To me it’s some fat or smelly or fat and smelly guys sitting around a table hacking through trolls for magic items. I mean, I guess it’s okay if Shinobu shows up dressed like her character, but I really wish her character would wear pants.
Review of Shinobu from Funny Knights
Shinobu is an example of a poorly done cast-off. Her top is so freaking clunky it looks like it’s made out of a down comforter instead of being school uniform flimsy, not to mention the sleeves just don’t fit on properly. So, Shinobu looks kind of stupid with her clothes on and just as bad with them off. They’ve made no effort to conceal the pegs where her arms attach to her body. That’s just all around shoddy.
Shinobu has such a cute face…on the box. Not so much on the figure. It’s still cute, but the rough quality of the paint on her eyes has me annoyed. On the plus side, she looks great below the chest. Shinobu’s legs are somewhat realistically proportioned, which gives a different flavor to the more stylized legs a lot of anime figures have. Shinobu has a nice butt.
Due to the mediocre face, the overly bulky top, poor construction revealed when in cast-off mode, Shinobu is really only there for butt and pantsu fans. Shinobu’s character design had a lot of potential to be that cute campy sexy that anime based designs do so well, but wound up disappointing.
I’m wary of ordering another Funny Knights figure based on this.
Thats why i hate the increased Cast-off ability of figures these days.Its most of the time poorly done and in my opinion they often try to divert from the mediocre quality of a figure with such extras.
Is it just me or are her gloves really that clunky?
Pose is great, but everything else falls pretty short. She kind of looks like an RPG version of Sakura from Street Fighter, IMO.
Mind you, cast-off functions are also adding quite a bit to the prices.
Pretty decent figure though, asides those issues.
the fishnet is yummy. ^^;
She’s quite cute but when I saw the close-up pictures of her face it just turned me off.
The colours seem really rich and deep, but I don’t know if its the figures paintjob or your excellent photos doing the work.
I like her, despite her gaping whale mouth; she’s a nice figure (scarves FTW). But excellent? I think not.
She still looks better than i thought she would ^^
But i don’t like the pose and the fanservice so yes
And the painting is not great , i can clearly see that , thanks to your pics .
I thought the top netting looked rather kinky.
Yeah, I agree with you on the no pants thing. Stopped me from buying, that’s for sure. The top netting! O_O Wow, that is really nice! DO WANT + pants!
the only selling point I see from her apart from the pantsu is her fishnet, looks nice
but yeah somehow the quality is mediocre
The netting is nice and would be how to display, save for the pegs showing through the arms.
pretty cute and like the pose… but with the flaws mentioned and no emotional attachment to the character… will be awhile before i’ll have spare cash for this one ^^;
…be that as it may, that netting…wow
