S.H.Figurearts Ranma 1/2, Shampoo.

SHAMPOO

Shampoo (シャンプー)
is a Chinese Amazon from Joketsuzoku (女傑族). She is one of the main three fiancées of Ranma Saotome and a rival of both Akane Tendo and Ukyo Kuonji.
The kanji in her name are shān "coral" and pú "uncut/unpolished gem". Her cat form is light colored with dark ears and paws, a characteristic fringe, and similar strands that frame its face. In the anime, it has light pink fur with darker pink paws and ears.
Shampoo shows elements of the tsundere character, given her initially hostile temperament towards Ranma Saotome before slowly becoming more attracted to him until she finally stops her plans for revenge in favor of ensuring her marriage to Ranma. She is manipulative. 
She has repeatedly shown as devious and strategic as well as not being above scheming, play-acting or completely ruthless behavior to advance her position towards the object of her attention. However, Shampoo does seem to enjoy having fun from the trouble she causes, particularly if it means she can get close to Ranma as a result.



360 GIF.
I am actually liking this character very much, so cute in the manga, my favorite female character in the stories.

Head height almost 5 inches.

Back detail. The apron can't remove from the figure.

Close up.

Different face expression parts.

Another expression parts, happy expression.

'Kishu' expression, very nice parts.

The head can only move backward to this angle, it is blocked by the long hair. But it is no problem to turn the head side to side. The joint is kind of loose now after a few posing for the photographing, luckily it came with a spare joint parts for replace.

"Nyan~~" Arm articulations.

The shoulder joint can extend for more turning angle.

Only one ball joint on waist area, can turn 360.

Leg articulated well.

Ramen soup from Cat Cafe, lol.

Cat Cafe's okamochi, food delivery box.

The okamochi cover can slide open to reveal interior. The middle plate is a bit of transparent if places the ramen inside.

Look very nice and real, it is very good to have this figure sets, this is a very nice item to collect, very useful for figurines.

Shampoo in cat form.

The cat head can turn 360, but I dunno why they make the front legs so short, it is a bit of unbalance to stand on four legs.

Front. Overall a very cute cat figure.

This will never happen in the comic, haha.
"Look what I found, Ranma, a very cute cat."

"Oh my...!! C..ca...!"

Same like SHF Ranma, come with a special printed base plate.

Also come with a Shampoo scale stand, different from SHF stage stand.

Compare with SHF Ranma.

Taller than Ranma and heavier too, sound bit rude for saying like that to a girl, lol...

When they first met.

“我是武斗大会里最强的女杰族,你夺取了我的奖品!”
"I am the strongest Chinese Amazons in this Wushu Championship, you snatched my price!" Shampoo.
"私は勝つもしそうなら、私はそれを食べることができますか?"
"So if I win, I can eat it?" Ranma.

CHUDON!
Shampoo absolutely no match of Ranma!

The 'Kiss Of Death'.
After the disgrace of defeating, she gave Ranma a kiss, Shampoo swear to kill female Ranma where ever she ran to.

She track down Ranma but eventually defeated by male Ranma, she swear marry to male Ranma by giving him a 'Kiss Of Marriage'.
“哦,我爱你,我的爱人。” "Oh, I love you, my lover."

And she found out female Ranma and male Ranma is a same person.
"Hahahaha! This is so funny!"

She is actually kind of rude, always steps on peoples face, especially Ranma... Lol!

She currently still work in the Cat Cafe now...

Marvel Select Venom.

VENOM

Venom/Edward Charles Allan Brock (Eddie Brock)
Some time after Eddie's life took these drastic changes, and overwhelmed by his shame and the knowledge of his impending death, he decided to consider suicide. Visiting Our Lady of Saints Church to beg forgiveness from God for this mortal sin, he was caught by surprise when the symbiotic alien costume, which had earlier been discarded by Spider-Man in the church's bell tower, attacked and bonded with him, drawn by his despair, adrenaline, and fierce hate, on which it fed. The symbiote merged mentally and physically with Brock, whose bubbling hatred for Spider-Man was equaled by the symbiote's, and so they vowed revenge against him.

In effect, Brock’s emotions drove the symbiote insane, just as their bonding may have driven Brock over the edge. Brock soon discovered that the costume gave him all the powers of Spider-Man, and more. It also added bulk to his already large frame and increased his strength to superhuman levels. Calling themselves Venom: "Because that's what I'm paid to spew these days!"Through the costume, Venom learned a great deal about Spider-Man, including his secret identity.



360 GIF. I think this is the re-issue version of Marvel Select Venom, but I dunno what different between this and the old one.

This Marvel Select Venom stand almost 8 inch high, bigger than Marvel Legends series.

Close up on the head sculpt.

A lots detail than the ML version.

More disgusting than ML series... Lol.

Third head that reveal who is Venom.

Yuck!

From back.

Detailing is better than ML one.

Two kind of hand for exchange.

Neck is double ball joint, it articulate quite well.

Maximum elbow turning angle.

Waist swivel and ball joint lower chest.

Knee joint can turn only 90 degree angle.

"Am I sexy?"

Overall the articulations is not better than the ML version, but it look great. 

Also come with parts for the berserk mode.

Just attaching a huge parts on the back, quite a heavy parts, making the figure unbalance.

Close up on the heads.

Most of the small heads have joint.

Close up, the back look like tumor... Ill...

Imagine this crawling around your room... (Shiver~~)

That two arms is articulated.

All the parts in this sets.

This is when I open the box, the paint job is messy.

The QC is kind of bad.

Even the back of the head have paint on it.

After touch up #1.

After touch up #2.

Compare with ML Venom.

ML version is kind of like fat dude, lol.

ML Flash Thompson Venom, MS Venom and ML Venom.

Prefer Flash Thompson logo.

Felt the power of mad symbiote.



"I am coming for you---!!"

“Today is the end of your day! Peter Parker!"
"Wait, wait, I am not Peter Parker..."

"Whoa! Creepy heads!" Ben.

"I got two spiders on my menu!"

No match for berserk mode.

Overpower!

New Venom! (p.s. power by Venom, lol)
