Sengoku Basara Figures by Revoltech

Just got these in the mail. I nabbed these through Amiami.co.jp for $5 a pop. That's a hugh mark down from $27!

Meet Chosokabe Motochika and Mori Motonari from Sengoku Basara, a hack and slash game by Capcom on the PS3 and Wii (think Samurai Warriors by Koei, but with a little more flare). Both figures are made by Revoltech and were imported from Japan.







The figures look great on pose. Each have vibrant colours to match their silly, angsty attitudes and interesting choices for weapons. My only gripe is that for Revoltech figures, where they decided to place the ball joints are odd (Motochika's neck is connected to his scarf thingy and his waist is connected to the gilt, not the waist). Poseability is a hit or miss. While you can arrange them in some pretty cool poses, the placement of the joints don't really help out when playing with them. Limbs and clothing parts were flying off as I was fiddling around with the figures.

Overall though, they were easily worth the $5, but I would have felt a little burnt if I paid full prices for them.
