Wild Tiger ~ The Beginning

Kit Review

Straight build + Stickers

To commemorate the Tiger & Bunny theatrical film The Beginning, Wild Tiger has been released under a new lineup called Figure-rise 6. It's not like the theatrical version brought a completely different design — it's essentially the same look, just released at a significantly smaller scale. As you can see in the comparison photo right above, it was released with the concept of being roughly HG-sized.

Since the size is smaller, a good portion of the color separation is handled with stickers instead, but the stickers are used efficiently and effectively — at least visually, they reproduce the design colors almost perfectly. Looking at solo shots alone, it's nearly impossible to tell it apart from the MG Figure-rise... and in some ways, the sense of stability and articulation that comes with the smaller size actually feels slightly better than the MG Figure-rise. ^^

Above all, thanks to the 3-section waist movement, flexible hip joints, and arms and legs that fold up nicely, it really delivers as an action figure. You can pull off just about any pose with ease, and everything holds together well, making this a kit that's genuinely fun to play around with. On top of that, the back is designed to connect to the separately sold Action Base 2, so you can recreate mid-air action poses too.

All in all, it's a small but incredibly well-packed kit — one that holds its own against the larger and more elaborate MG Figure-rise, and in some respects even feels better. If you're a Tiger & Bunny fan, this is a high-quality action figure kit you can enjoy without any hesitation. :-)
