Magnets let you hang the figure upside down from a metal surface.

The waist bends forward quite a bit.

He's relatively small in terms of size.

Uzumaki Naruto has joined the Figure-rise Standard lineup — a fresh new character in a line that's been pretty much all Dragon Ball up until now. Since he's the main character of a hugely popular series well-known here in Korea too, plenty of people were looking forward to this one, and it delivers with a solid, series-faithful lineup of contents and clean quality.

First off, with just a few stickers and excellent color separation, the straight build already looks great in terms of color and overall appearance. The clear blue pupils and whites of the eyes in particular are nicely done, and even the yellow eyebrows have clean color separation. The only thing is the fox whisker marks on the face aren't color-separated, so you'll probably want to do some panel lining there.

The articulation and joint strength are decent enough to pull off a variety of poses, but the proportions make the legs look a bit short, so it's harder than you'd think to nail poses that really sync up with the source material. That said, the Rasengan and Rasenshuriken effect parts do a lot to bring the atmosphere to life, and the chakra effect parts on the soles of the feet have magnets built in so you can hang the figure upside down from metal surfaces. I didn't have a suitable metal surface for the review shoot, so I just took the photos normally and flipped them — but when I tried sticking it sideways on my fridge at home, the magnets were strong enough to hold it firmly in place.

So while truly dynamic posing is a bit of a stretch, the kit's strong point is how well it captures the look of the original character. The price comes in at ¥3,000, which feels a touch steep given the somewhat modest contents — probably a licensing thing — but there's something genuinely exciting about seeing Naruto get a proper plastic model release. :-)
