Bandai S.H.Figuarts Chainsaw Man Power and Samurai Sword Man Review and Images

[ToyFarce]

It's Wednesday and you know what that means: ToyFarce review!

This week, we're having a look at the Power and Samurai Sword (aka Katana Man) from the Chainsaw Man line from Bandai S.H. Figuarts. The first figure from that line, the Chainsaw Man himself, was a ridiculously good figure, so how did other characters do? Well, they're just as fun to play with!

Power, the fiend form of the Blood Devil, comes with a total of five different faceplates, 6 pairs of hands, her cat, and blood weapons in the form of 2 knives, a normal sized hammer and a giant hammer. Power can manipulate blood and put it in the shape of weapons, hence the weapons being bright red (yep, another completely absurd power from the manga/anime). She has a ton of articulations, and is fun to move around. My only nitpick is the top of her jacket, which is rolled over her shoulders, so they added the top parts of the jacket as a separate, articulated part, which sometimes is a bit in the way, or doesn't move as you would want it to. Otherwise, another 'hand candy' figure!

Samurai Sword (aka Katana Man), is another ridiculous design from Chainsaw Man. His face is a katana, and he has katanas coming out of his arms. He is one of the first antagonists to have similar powers (aka turn into a living weapon). He comes with an extra head sculpt(screaming) and 2 extra pairs of hands, which is similar to what Denji came with. I thought his long jacket was going to be in the way of articulations, but it turns out it's not, as it is 'softer' plastic. The headsculpt is a bit tricky to change, as you need to remove the entire head, then switch the blade and the hat on the other figure, and the blade can stay a bit stuck. I did not manage to cut myself with it, though! A fun figure to display fighting Denji.
