SHFigurearts Ranma1/2, Saotome Ranma (female).

Last post before Chinese New Year of Monkey!

SAOTOME RANMA (ONO).

Ranma Saotome

(早乙女乱馬 Saotome Ranma) is the main protagonist and title character of Ranma ½. Ranma can mean "chaotic" or "reckless horse" or "a tangled thread". Saotome means "rice-planting girl". When asked about the character's origins, Rumiko Takahashi said: "With Ranma ½, I had thought a lot of doing a series with a male/female like protagonist, and since in the greater part of my previous stories the main character had been a woman, I planned to use a man this time. I was worried about writing a male main character because of the hundreds and hundreds of male readers, therefore I decided on the character being half man and half woman."

"C'mon! Fights me!!"

A very important object in the manga, ha-ha. (Almost forgot to take the pictures of this classic style copper kettle. Made by plastic, lol.)

Daily tools to school.

"You ask for it, I'll change back to fight you!" She gain full strength when turn back to male form.

"Ouch!!" Beware of this object flying around...

"What the!?" Her worst enemy?? Cat!? (waiting for SHF Shampoo, I need the cat!)

TAKARA Transformers LG-09 Brainstorm.

LG-09 Brainstorm.

Brainstorm
is a never-ending font of ideas. Whether he's in the middle of a battle or consciously working on another of his projects, new ideas are the background noise of his mind, sometimes to such an extent that his brain will overheat. In his zeal to see these ideas realized, Brainstorm sometimes forgets about things like "basic safety" and "proper experimental procedure". He will happily hand out new and untested inventions to less-than-responsible comrades for field-testing. His inventions range from useful biotechnology, to outlandish anti-personnel weaponry, to devices that harness the bizarre and unthinkable.
Brainstorm is at least partly responsible for developing the Headmaster process. It's sometimes hard to tell how much of it was his doing and how much was his Headmaster partner Arcana's, the two work together so seamlessly.

Brainstorm ALT mode, a space fighter with two huge cannon.

Top.

Without cannon.

Headmaster Arcana.

Tiny little Headmaster robot.

"Face" backpack, haha.

Head come with ball-joint, very good articulated.

Ball-joint shoulder joint, but the painted arm looks really weird, too long... Why don't they mold the arm straight 45 degree to the edge?

Two leg hinges, Arcana can sit down as it is so small.

The hip joint is really easily to pop out, kind of annoying.

Comparing to other small support figures, Headmaster Jr Cab and Starsaber's "Brain Of Courage".

Back of this three.

Arcana getting in the plane.

The stat plate is the seat for Arcana in alt mode.

Arcana is perfectly fitted in the cockpit.

Nice orange color.

Cybertronian aircraft, thumbs up!

Air-brakes parts?

Air-brakes fully deploy!!

Gerwalk mode???

360 GIF.

This is how Brainstorm looks like in comics. (kind of prefer the folded wings version)

Nice face sculpt, luckily they didn't decide to do the 'face' version.

The leg parts on the head are clearly visible. Those engines details are very nice even it is on the shoulder.

The power indicator still exist in this toy. Can clearly see how much stats he got.

Thanks to Arcana head joint, Brainstorm's head turns well too. But it can't really look down as the ball joint is kind of thicker in some position, make it always retract when push down forward.
