Here we have Ken Shiro and Ashura the nameless. These are my first Hokuto no Ken Revoltech figures. I loved the show when i was a kid and the revamped version that came out years ago was pretty nice too (though i never completed it). So what do I have to say about the figures, for one thing, the detail is simply awesome on these and they do have a fiar amount of mobility (I also love revol joints for the wrists since you contort them in far more ways then the simple peg hands that revoltech has been implementing with thier current figures). While these guys are full of detail i notice something, reused piece parts, besides maybe a few added or omitted wrinkles here and there, they use a lot of similar parts between figs. The arms, hands, pants, and boots to name a few. They are all basically the same sculpt with minor differences. Doesnt matter much but worth mentioning Ii felt. In any case, they are still awesome and I beleive they are the among the biggest figures in the revol lineup. One thing is for sure though, these guys have a lot more limitations in the joints compared to most revoltechs. The arms and waist suffer the most. The majoirty of the limitation in the arms are due to the robust muscles that block movement. The legs are affected by the use of swivel type joints that were chosen over revol joints to aid in concealing joints. Not a big deal overall but when posing things as I do, they're pretty apparent. Well, enough talk on with the pics. I tried to do a scene of sorts but too lazy to add narrative so hopefully the pics speak for themselves....... and continuity be damed !! Also, no clue if they ever fought in the manga or anime but they are gonna fight here! The end?!? I really love Ashura, but I probably wont collect anymore of these. I think i have more then enough muscle bound dudes in my toy collection now lol.

Great pics dude! I lol'd at Menace's participation! lol. I'm collecting this line as I'm a big fan of the series. Yes, they fought... but its more like Kenshiro showing off he's superior. The one who finished off Nameless Shura was Falco (015 of the Revoltech HNK line).

Great series of photo's MMJ! That look on Shura's face is fantastic. Awesome use of parts to create Kenshiro powering up! And the use of Menace as the "Damsel in Distress" was quite cool too!

Glad you all liked it (though i just noticed my grubby mitts in one of the pictures lol oops) The scenario could of took a multiple of paths but it was already getting ridiculously long so had to cut it short. @agenstands: Thanks for the link, i need to finish the anime one of these days. emerje: This series is really what im trying to aim for when i take my pics. I hope to do more dynamic photo shoots as I continue doing this. I found i have a passion for doing this and hope to get better. recca74: You got the story!! im thankful my pictures were good enough to convey words and happy you enjoyed them.

Dude, that is quite an awesome Action scene photography show you got goin on there! The shots look consistent with the fight moves, and the "mid-air leaping" effects add a nice touch. Great show, bro! zozo-Magengar

That was one of the most Awesome, Extreme, Tremendous things I enjoyed on the site. If it is not the Best............... Although It wolud've been perfect if it was Yuria instead. But I admit that Menace is my Favorite Character. Not Saying that what you have done is anything less than SUPER COOL. Thanx.......

Im confused by your words babilon do you like it or not?? lol No, I didn't like it, in fact I hated it ;D lol Man, what do you think !!!!! I said it is one of the best things I have ever seen in Robot-Japan, if it is not the best of all time. I only note that if the female character was Yuria instead of Menace it would have been Hokuto no Ken super exclusive. Simply saying it "I LOVE IT & IT WAS WAY TOO COOL" Thanx.....
