Review: Hikōnin Sentai Akibaranger- S.H. Figuarts Akiba Blue

Akiba Blue! This is Mitsuki Aoyagi (青柳 美月), she's blue and has the Kanji for blue in her name. I like this figure a lot and like the character and the actress for various reasons... anyways, Akiba Blue was a cool character, bit of a Tsundere but cool nevertheless. Her suit had a split ponytail and a smaller breastplate and her skirt is similar to Hououranger's. I was kinda disappointed when they announced that she wouldn't appear for Shizun Tsuu, maybe in episode 1 and some clips from later episodes but she wouldn't be Akiba Blue Again, More on Shizun Tsuu Later. Let's get onto the review.

Box

It's nice, Similar to Akiba Red's but with Blue. However this doesn't have an extra picture with the Bouken Scooper or the Jet Winger.
More Rainbows and Stars.

Contents

1 Akiba Blue, and 6 pairs of hands, 1 Moe Moe Z-Cune and 3 scarves.

Figure

Left to Right
Akiba Blue has a really long roll call. The Figure is pretty awesome, the sculpted hair is cool. Like I've said before the Suit is based of the figure, not one bit of detail is off (minus stylized bits). The little bits of the knees are in the suit and even the holes in the back and on the sides of the belt. However this figure looks thinner than the suit actors. This suit is vastly different from Akiba Red's which has almost no trace of White and this one does. To be honest, the figure has a pretty nice figure, look at those legs.
Oh and who could forget the Bear panties.
Taking that made me feel awkward.

Accessories

As Mentioned before, Gun, Hands and Scarves.
3 scarves so pick wisely.
Fists for the "Akiba Blue"
Karate Chop hands for the Akiba Ranger Pose from Episode 6 where Akiba Blue and Akiba Red switched spots.
These, which I have no clue what they are supposed to be.
Open Hands, which (IMO) Look kinda odd.
Gun Holding Hands

Moe Moe Z-Cune

Left to Right
The same as Akagi's, no difference
Can be held, of course.

Dislikes and Would Likes

Maybe just one, or two, the restricted articulation which does not allow the use of the Moe Moe Z-Cune to be held with two hands. And maybe a cloth skirt, it would be a lot better since you wouldn't worry about bending the plastic if left in certain poses over an extended period of time.

Overall
Akiba Blue is a great figure and I need to get two of them and an extra Akagi or two, maybe Moegi too. Anyways, I like the figure and it looks great if you put it next to the Other two, I need Bouken Red and Deka Red to review the other things...
