Review: Hanamichi Sakuragi by TK Holdings

Welcome to my first review of 2011 . On this occasion I present my latest purchase came just a few days ago, after an endless journey from Japan, complicated by the Christmas holidays, as we know, in a stretch excessive lead times.

The subject of this article is Hanamichi Sakuragi, protagonist of the famous manga by Takehiko Hinoue, Slam Dunk .

Hanamichi as easy to understand, is a basketball player in high school Shohoku: member of the team only to be beautiful in the eyes of his, actually Men know little or nothing about the sport in question. Over time, however, developed a passion for basketball and thanks to a mix of natural talent and perseverance in training, it becomes very soon be a mainstay of the team, along with his friend and rival Kaede Rukawa. That statue is reproduced from the Hanamichi the second part of the manga, his hair shaved to punish himself after a glaring error that cost his team's defeat.

The producer is the newcomer almost TK Holdings, which was reported before Hanamichi to create another Inoue character of the samurai Miyamoto Musashi by Vagabond .

The pose chosen is very static, taken from an illustration by Inoue: Hanamichi is still, legs apart and with his usual expression blowhard, while the right hand ; firmly grasps a basketball. In so simple a figure therefore assumes even greater importance is the modeling and from this point of view the work of TK Holdings is really excellent.

From the photos it is possible to deduce the beauty with which it was made divided by basketball, who wears the star in an absolutely natural and realistic. An excellent Work was also done in the yield of the muscles, thanks to the skillful combination of sculpture and painting: legs, arms, shoulders and neck make it perfectly the look of an athlete's body turned, as Sakuragi.

complete the picture perfect reproduction of the currency of Shohoku and basketball, is also the choice fits perfectly to use as a basic insight into the parquet, the classic finish of a basketball court indoors.

Overall I therefore confirm that this is an excellent model from all points of view, and that the static pose is covered by an excellent model, which makes the statue identical in appearance to the hero of the manga that inspired.

The statue is made from a single block, there are no parts to be assembled from the base, although I found that if you want you can disconnect head, although I do not know which pro (with optional head will release the hair so first?). In any case, this makes the pvc stable and solid.

Given the price after all available (about sixty Euros) I can recommend without reservation to anyone who has appreciated the statue Slam Dunk and her irresistible protagonist.

First post of 2011

Hello everyone, I return to post on the blog after about a month of absence: I have kept out of various commitments, as well as to a state of mind that I am currently away from writing, I have produced very little for all the companies I work with. I'm sorry, but it is only stage: just as there are shorter or longer periods where I do not like to read books or play games, now I'm not going to write. It will pass soon, I suppose, like all the other times ...

What I have not yet passed is rather the desire to model, albeit with some recent developments. In my interest to buy the statuettes usually begin to mark time in the sense that I really have too many little women in collection: only the two collections devoted to Haru Suzumiya Shining Wind and count the pieces of a dozen ' one, if we add all the various characters around ... Well, in short, in so far purchases followed a definite direction, no doubt!

Something began to change in late summer 2010, when a slight chance I received a series of male characters related to the series that I have always appreciated: of Aoshima Captain Tsubasa (Holly & Benji ) , the Megahouse Gintoki (Gintama ), the JoJo of Banpresto ... cabbage, there are also PVC male protagonists of my favorite manga and anime are a lot beautiful! Among other things, the producers seem to have noticed the same thing, since in recent months and in those to come have issued or will issue several male characters, from the main characters of Gintama.

In the meantime, began to penetrate even the long-standing insistence of friends collectors robot. As a child I experienced first hand the famous first invasion of Japanese anime in the late 70's, therefore inevitable that robots are always left me in your heart, then dribble for reproductions of metal and plastic Ceppiratti (and directly from legendary 80s I was still a fabulous Trider G7 still canned!) However, I never felt the need to collect the city's of Bandai Soul of Chogokin, that no matter how well made they gave me the impression of being more expensive giocattoloni.

My determination is ultimately failed when the damn Bandai has launched a new series of robots, the latest Super Robot Chogokin ! Not that these are not toys to my eyes, but so accurate products, jointed, made of composite steel and plastic, full of components and prices ranging between 35 and 45 € I could not miss. Even as they are officially imported into Italy by Cosmic Group, and then I find them directly in comic books. So I have not been able to escape the first exit, the legendary Mazinger Z, while at Christmas the infamous friends mentioned above have given me too many exits 2 and 3, namely the Great Mazinger and Alteisen (from Super Robot Wars ): practically the beginning of a collection, and whether in comic books keep coming out the other usual prezzaccio as may waive the purchase?

E 'in this climate of historical revival that has gained my self-Christmas present:' s Captain Harlock in Arcadia ! The first set of Harlock is one of my favorite anime ever and his legendary ship was a veritable cult of my childhood.

The Aoshima years to speculate about this great piece (and spaceships Harlock in general), having produced less than 4 different versions: one loyal to the television series, black and green versions and, finally, Weathering, namely the original version but artfully aged. The first version I ruled out a priori, it is impossible to find except at very high prices. The black and green were not simply sense, since blue is the color of Arcadia. So I focused on Weathering, I had already spotted a Lucca, 2010 to "prezzaccio" of 120 €, but then I had not had the courage to buy because it exceeded the self-imposed psychological threshold of one hundred euro: it is not a day goes by that I regret it! But I kept the name of the vendor and since two months later, despite the prezzaccio, Arcadia was still there I considered a sign of destiny and I shall buy. Guys, how wonderful buy in Italy for once: the ship arrived two days time, saving the usual anxieties customs. Obviously it is a wonder that account review, sooner or later.

But it's not over yet! The very harmful cazzeggiano Christmas on the Internet has brought to my attention some news items: The Sideshow is releasing a new series of statues dedicated to the Lord of the Rings this:

Beautiful, I love movies and I always wanted Jackson statues inspired by the protagonists (I also made the collection of lead soldiers LotR), but at the time when the movie came out I could not afford, and subsequently reached unrealistic prices. In the final assolutissimamente will buy, even if the price much higher than the Japanese PVC (but we are talking about statues, not plastic, much bigger, and carved and hand-colored limited edition) will force me to cut spending on the eastern front. If nothing else, I discovered that in this area (U.S. statue) is not by our own dealers the same outrageous speculation that it is up to Japanese products in general: So after some research I found a shop that sells the statues in our national fair price , so I will avoid disruption of international shipping. The first release, Aragorn, will arrive in March \\ April 2011, so I have plenty of time to put aside the pennies, the others follow at intervals several months, so in the end spending should be perfectly sustainable.

Unfortunately my rediscovery of the Western world of the statues also had tragic consequences, since in addition to the above-mentioned series I could not help but notice other statues that I like a lot. First, because the collection lacks Sideshow Gollum 'm thinking of taking one of Weta, out soon. Then I found a magnificent diorama of Conan the Barbarian that I fear will buy for sure, and returned to the top of my desires was also a beautiful statue of the Sith Darth Talon , which I had already admired in Lucca. If the dealer will do me the discount I pleaded that I will be much poorer in the short ...
