The 3rd Shinkenger, Shinken Pink (シンケンピンク), Shiraishi Mako (白石 茉子)! Former kindergarten teacher prior to joining the Shinkengers after being called upon by Jii because of the Gedoushu attack on the "Human" world. She's the Samurai of the Sky or Samurai of Sky (天の侍 Ten no Samurai) (or heaven since the symbol stands for imperial, sky or heaven). Mako is actually pretty awesome, she's more of a tomboy than a girly girl but she does want to be a great wife, she's an awful cook and almost killed Ryunosuke (not really). She has a weakness for those in need and she'll do her best to confort them, such as when Ryunosuke was beating himself up and saying how unmanly he is resulting in a hug from Mako and then being denied any sweetness after he was fixed with a response from Mako, "You're annoying". She's also quite honest and I can kinda see her as 2nd or 3rd in command. An example of some brutally honest bits can be... when she tells Ryu-san he's annoying in episode 4. Her arsenal consist of, the Heaven Fan (ヘブンファン), the Turtle Disk (亀ディスク), the Shinkenmaru with common disk, she pilots the Kame Origami (亀折神) or Turtle Origami and the Shodophone which every Shinkenger has. This figure is indeed a Tamashii Web Exclusive so it'll be difficult to find for a decent price.
Box
I really like the Pink color they used for Shinken Pink, it's just nice and bright. The back has pictures of the figure and the side has the Symbol for Sky (天), the front has a really nice picture of Shinken Pink. Pictures of the Heaven fan and the Origamis in both modes.
The top has Shinken Pink, Mako Shiraishi. The Turtle Origami in emblem mode, the circle with the symbol for Sky and the Shiba clan symbol.
Contents
You get 1 Shinken Pink, 12 hands, alternate skirt pieces, the Heaven Fan with disk, the Shinkenmaru with disk, the Shodophone and the Kame Origami in both modes.
Figure
Now, this figure is a different body, of course, it's the female body, it's quite different and the shoulders look weird to be honest. It very noticeable in regular standing poses but if you pose it in other ways it looks nice and streamlined. The body isn't exaggerated in anyway but it is too skinny, at least it doesn't have a tiny waist and large breasts. Since it is a figuarts it will pull off most of the poses you put it in.
The figure is really nice, specially the shade of pink, however the helmet does look a little off, the neck is also rather long. A piece that is retained from the male figures are the feet, they don't look weird in anyway or form so it's no issue. The figure is shorter than the male figures.
Accessories
3 pairs of hands, 2 extra left hands and 4 extra right hands, skirt pieces, Kame Origami in both modes, Shinkenmaru and disk, Heaven Fan and disk and the shodophone.
Pairs
A pair of fists for poses.
Relaxed hands
Holding hands.
Left hands
A hand that holds the Shinkenmaru but it's curved so it points more to a 45 degree angle.
An open palm specially made for the signature pose.
Right hands
A hand for the Shinkenmaru, this one doesn't have any special details, it is different from the other holding hands.
A hand for holding the Kame Origami in emblem mode.
One for holding the Heaven Fan with a firm grip.
Shodophone holding hands and can also grab the disks.
Skirt Pieces
You get these, for more "difficult" poses.
Since it's difficult to explain here are the instructions, you have to pop of the top half and then do this.
Here's what it looks like all around.
It does look weird in regular standing poses but better in other such as this one.
Weapons and other items
Shodophone.
Shinkenmaru
a removable disk.
Kame Origami in emblem mode, it has all the detail the toy and prop has, this is closer to the Prop.
It can be held nicely.
In animal mode, it's pretty awesome, it's so accurate to the toy and prop which did have the hinge and the plug on the side.
Heaven Fan!
The heaven fan looks cool, it's a Japanese War Fan, it can create gusts of wind and it can be used as a melee weapon. It's very detailed and it has the folds and "sticks" that hold the fan together, it does not have the open gap areas "open" since doing that would make it super fragile.
It's just great and it even has the gold strap on the bottom, it doesn't bend though so don't try.
The Kame Disk looks more like the "real" one since it has the animation there.
You can have some really elegant poses with the fan.
Dislikes and would likes
Just the Shoulders and the neck, otherwise, this figure is perfect in my opinion. Oh and a cloth skirt!
Overall
Since it's the first female Sentai Figure made it did have some flaws but it's still a perfect figure, I love this, it's beautiful and elegant. It looks great with the rest of them and I highly recommend her. If you're a fan of the Show you'll absolutely love her, if you like female figures, high end figures, Power Rangers Samurai, pink or Pink rangers, this is a perfect figure for you. Good luck finding one though.
Nice poses
