Toy Review: SH Figuarts Gokai Pink

S.H. Figuarts Gokai Pink completed the quintet of Super Sentai pirates as we end the Gokaiger Season this year. It's sad to see the series end. This means we will have to wait a few years again so we can see past Super Sentai heroes and heroines come back in hopes for their last hurrah. As we bow our heads to thank our young pirates, let see if GokaiPink deserves the same.

GokaiPink's box art has the same theme as Yellow so I'll skip this part. Accessories aside from the obvious and what we have seen from the other four pirates (i.e. Darin, hands, swords, ranger keys etc.) are 2 pairs of unique hands for her Gokaiger rollcall pose and the other for holding the two fused guns. Without reading the instruction sheet, it is a challenge holding the fused Gokai guns but the trick here is that the thicker grip should be on the outer part of the palm. You have the adjust the fingers to that the grip is firm and these are on the right triggers. Once done, GokaiPink becomes truly feminine as well as fearsome.

So if you guessed it right, GokaiYellow's other sabre with a rope on the other end is in GokaiPink's box set. I wondered why it has to be separated from Yellow in the first place. Even with that in mind, placing these two ladies side by side is a sight to behold especially if you combine all of the rangers holding their unique weapons. Sugoi!

In terms of joints, GokaiPink aka Ahim de Famille doesn't veer away from Gokai Yellow's articulation points. What I just fear is that the elbows can be pushed further on the wrong direction and might tear away without the proper care. In short, a must have to complete the Gokaiger team in SH Figuarts form. We also bid farewell to Gokaigers as they have brought nostalgia to all fans of shapes and sizes. We hope to see you again soon.
