 Hey everybody, welcome back to another installment of A Week in Geekdom and today we are going to unbox the Naruto Shippuden Jiraiya Figure Arts Zero Kizuna Relation Statue. Let's do this. Welcome back everybody to the channel. Thank you so much for being a part of A Week in Geekdom. My name is Devin Menendez and yeah, today we are going to unbox this beauty. It was supposed to arrive somewhere in November 2019, but you know, when you get things from Japan, they take a while to arrive, right? So here is this really cool looking box. I really enjoy the design of this. It's very sketchy looking, which you can see right there. The wrap around, it's a little bit blurry, but I do have some pictures that I'm showing you. And over at the back, you get some really cool pictures of the, some stock images, I guess, of the statue. I think this is, and I even brought my measuring tape. I think this is somewhere along the eight inch mark of how tall it is. So yeah, let's go ahead and open this thing. I've always been a Naruto fan and I've always wanted the perfect representation of my favorite characters. And for some reason, there are so many statues out there for Naruto from the first series and now with Chippuden and even Boruto and all that stuff. But I could never quite get the one I was after. You know what I mean? Especially with the face sculpt and stuff. I wanted it to be as close as possible to the original source material of Kishimoto's drawings or at least similar to the anime. So to me, these figure art zero, they really do a good job of capturing that with the sculpts and the paints and all that stuff. I thought they did a really good job on it. The plastic smell is terrible. Oh, that can't be good for my lunch. Looking pretty awesome. And I'm going to do a quick review soon. Because there's no assembly required with this statue. It's just one piece. And the thing about the Kizuna thing, the relation or whatever they're calling it, is that you can pair it up with the base because it forms sort of like this circular, like a yin yang type of thing, where it connects with another statue. So you can display it by itself, but it's going to look so much cooler with another character in this case of the Naruto franchise. There's one with Naruto, a part one, and there is another statue of Lady Tsunade. And I got the Tsunade statue, but it hasn't arrived yet as of this video. So I will do an unboxing and later on pairing the two of them together because I think they look fantastic. Maybe down the line I might get Naruto, not in a rush. I just wanted to get the Sonny because I love those three characters. So hopefully we do get a really cool Orochimaru later on. Because, yeah, like I said, I love the Sonny. They're my favorite characters of the Naruto franchise. I really wanted a figure or statue or something that can represent them the way I wanted to. Look at this. Oh my goodness. The sculpt is fantastic. The posing. Oh wow, this is a work of art. I'm blown away with this. Damn, even the smoke effect and everything just looks so impressive and so detailed. It doesn't do it justice. The video doesn't do it justice. It really does look amazing and I know it's going to look even cooler next to Lady Tsunade next to our pervy sage. The base is a little hollow, plastic-y, but oh, and I love Gamakichi's sculpt and how he's so translucent. It really gives it a very unique feel. It combines with the summoning effect and it sort of makes him look like he just popped up like in the manga and anime. This looks really badass, guys. I'm in love with this. Let's get a closer look. The amount of detail on this thing is honestly breathtaking. I am in awe and just marveled at the craftsmanship involved with the making of this statue. I can't wait to see it paired with Tsunade and maybe in the future even Naruto himself doing the Rosengun. It just looks so impressive and just very fluid, dynamic. It's something that, you know, it leaps off the shelf and looks like it came out of the manga or the anime. And I think I said at the beginning of the video that it's Shippuden, but that was a mistake. Obviously it's from part one. Just really cool. It has some weight to it, but it's not super heavy and the details, like I mentioned, everything about it is just there. The paint applications, the sculpt, even the little bead things that I showed off right now in the close-ups, it just looks real. It looks great, in my opinion. This is an excellent piece. If you're a Naruto fan, the Kizuna relation class of statues are a must-get. The spiky hair just flows naturally and it's not too pointy. The costume design, of course, it's so vivid. You remember Jiraiya because of his outfit, the scroll in the back, the I think, yeah, the rope is plastic, hard plastic, I think, yeah. But everything is just on point. I don't see any scuffs or paint splashing or none of that. Like really tight, quality-controlled, no QC issues. Just on point, man. This was well worth it. If you're a fan of the franchise, if you love Jiraiya, if you love Naruto as a whole and you want to get a really cool collectible statue, it is, I think, still available at most websites that sell these type of statues. You can still get it and it's relatively cheap for what you're getting. Great price, great sculpt, great paint-outs, fantastic representation of the character. I love those swooshing effects, the hair, the little bead, got my Kichi right there. Very translucent. The smoke effect looks really cool as well. Just a great piece. I love this so much. And the face sculpt, I didn't talk about it earlier, but the face sculpt is on point. The tongue, the teeth and the makeup around the eyes, the headband with the horns, everything about it just is 100% accurate to what the character is. And for that alone, it's a hell of a statue, man. I love this so much. This is really cool. I'm a little speechless at how faithful it is to the character. That's awesome. Wow. Yeah, no, I'm geeking out hard over this right here. You even get the symbol in the palm of his hand. I forgot the name of the symbol. Forgive me on that one. But just really cool. The sandals came out great. You see the wrinkles with the under shirt and the robe here. Man, this is badass. I love this. As you can see, here's the thing I talked about and you put the other one and it forms sort of like a yin-yang circle thing. Or you place Naruso here and then Tsunade at the corner and you have the three combo. Hopefully, we do get Orochimaru at some point because with his grass cutter sword and the serpent summon, I forgot the name right now. This is freaking badass.
