Review: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger - S.H. Figuarts Shinken Yellow, Hanaori Kotoha

5th and last in the Shinkenger lineup... or at least for now, wow, it's been not so much time since I reviewed Tono-sama eh? Anyways, Shinken Yellow (シンケンイエロー ), Hanaori Kotoha (花織 ことは ), is the Earth Samurai (土の侍 Tsuchi no Samurai), she's really there in place of her sister who fell ill and couldn't really be Shinken Yellow. She has a Kyoto Accent and is a very clumsy girl, she's so adorable. In episode 2 I believe, after she goes off on her own to train and Ryunosuke, Chiaki and Mako find her she says that she's never been good with the bamboo work at home and the only two things she was good at were the Sword and the Flute. A girl with very low self-esteem and very high loyalty to her Tono. She thinks she is stupid but she has come up with plans, she's a nice gentle girl is willing to help others. Her arsenal comes with the Shinkenger basic battle pack and her own personal weapons. Land Slicer (ランドスライサー), Saru Origami (猿折神), Saru Disk (猿ディスク) etc... This figure is a Tamashii Web exclusive so it'll be difficult to find for a decent price.

Review: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger - S.H. Figuarts Shinken Green, Tani Chiaki

4th in the Shinkenger roll call, and 3rd to arrive after Mako and Ryunosuke, Shinken Green (シンケングリーン)! Tani Chiaki ((谷 千明)! He's the Samurai of  Wood (木の侍 Ki no Samurai), he's also lazy, irresponsible, and arrogant teenage schoolboy, only becoming a Shinkenger because he thought it'd be fun and because he wanted to protect some people. He didn't like the idea of a "Period Drama" with a Lord but he eventually got used to it, He now considers Takeru a rival and he wants to surpass him. He never did get formal training but he is pretty good coming up with ideas and surprise attacks. His arsenal has the usual Shinkenger arsenal but with a Wood Spear (ウッドスピア), the Kuma (Bear)  Disk (熊ディスク), the Kuma Origami (兜ディスク), and the Kabuto (Hercules Beetle) Disk (兜ディスク) and Kabuto Origami ((兜折神) which was originally designated to Mako but seeing as how Mr. Tani is stubborn he took the disk and attempted to use it but failed, later on he eventually grew stronger an managed to use it without any problem. Let's-a-Move on with the review. Keep in mind that this was a Tamashii Web Exclusive so it wont be that easy to find for a cheap price.

Review: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger - S.H. Figuarts Shinken Pink, Shiraishi Mako

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.
