#GINTAMA KAMUI SKIN#
#GINTAMA KAMUI SERIES#

The companies know that sex sells ultimately. They are expensive while being easier to craft and paint.

I also do not like the tendency of more skin exposure = higher price tag. High price tags with mediocre quality is what they are. I’ve seen and own some brilliantly crafted figures. Basically, the price tags they asked for the figures are not justified. Since I am seeing issues with both version of Kagura, I am inclined to believe that Megahouse has chosen to cheap out on those figures. The Kagura figure is neither cheap nor old. But they are 20 years old and were very cheap. Tales of Abyss coin-grade figures I own have this issue. Now, oil leakage is an issue I’ve had with very old figures. Her red Chinese dress is starting to leak oil. There is another issue with default Kagura figure. There is no official figurine for the dog as far as I am aware. Sadanaru figure is actually a piggy bank. However, due to how her umbrella is positioned, the issue is far less problematic since it rests on her shoulder for support. The same issue is present with Kagura figure as well. His hand can no longer grab it tightly anymore which is why you see the umbrella dangling on his hand in one of the pictures. I’ve had this figure for about 4 years now, and his fingers are losing its grip on the umbrella. The other one is Kaumi kicking which I avoided in fear of figure balance.

The real grownup Kagura seen from the series is less glamorous although still smoking hot.Īs for Kamui, there isn’t much to talk about simply because it is a guy. This isn’t a cheap figure, and they didn’t even bother to apply a protective coat.

A sad fact is that the figure cost me 180 CAD some years ago. Her skirt can be taken off but it has NOT been varnished, leaving paint residue on her skin. The 16 version is a horrible figure however. I remind you again that she is supposed to be 16. This version is stark contrast to the default Kagura.īasically, you are looking at a smoking hot woman. Here is a shot of Kagura (16) version which is featured in an alternative universe setting within Gintama series. As she is only 14, the female features are not really present. Figurine companies picked that one up for sure.Īnyway, default Kagura wears a simple red china dress and holds an umbrella.

However, in the Gintama movie, as well as in alternative universe settings, Kagura appears as 16ish and is a smoking hot woman. I feel that this is a good thing because Japan has a strong tendency to worship the feminine form, no matter the age. She is also not an object for any form of sexuality within the manga as well as anime also.

Gintama might be the only mainstream anime where its heroine does that.Īn interesting factor with Kagura is that, because she is only 14, she has generally escaped from being oversexualized by figurine companies. However, once she joins up with Gintoki, she gradually becomes a copy of him, becoming sarcastic, lazy, and witty as well as picking up Gintoki’s habit of picking nose. In the very early part of the series, she can be seen as a naive and innocent as she is used by a gang as a weapon. Her personality in the series is somewhat dynamic. Her elder brother, Kamui (18), appears much later. They are also known to have very light skin color and tend to carry an umbrella to protect themselves from sun.Īt the start of Gintama, Kagura is 14. They are of Yato clan, basically meaning they have super human strength and reflex with a mild weakness to direct sunlight. Kamui and Kagura are Umibouzu + Kouka’s children. Just a short introduction of the characters. I am going to review two Kagura figures and a Kamui figure. This is a figurine review of Kagura and Kamui 1/8 scale.
