SHF Momotaros Imagin DX Set

Today I went out to get some supplies for my new gunpla project. At the same time I gave in to temptation and got the SHF Momotaros DX Set.

SHF Momotaros Imagin

SHF Momotaros Imagin has been announced to come in two variations: the standard 2625 yen set as well as the 3675 yen DX set which includes the Denliner table and bench.

It’s surprising Bandai has decided to give Momotaros the SHF treatment despite him having an SH release already. Perhaps they had to do it after confirming that Deneb and Urataros were getting their SHF figures. For someone who has not laid his grubby mitts on the SH Momotaros + Masked Rider Den-O Plat Form, the DX set may be a better choice.

My first impressions of the SHF Momotaros are that its proportions are slightly thin compared to the SH version which is more TV-accurate (in my opinion). The SHF figure especially has a slimmer-than-usual head which I feel is common for the SHF line. I believe the both SHF V3 and Kabuto have the same characteristic as well. Despite this difference, the SHF Momotaros makes up for it with his Momotarosword and the furniture (in the DX set). I also believe he has superior articulation (especially in the ankles, which the SH series notoriously and horribly lack) with the standard SHF body.

This is bad because I am really tempted to get all the Imagins now.
