Nendoroid Chainsaw Man Denji
Enjoy the Nendoroid of Denji as he wears his usual standard Public Safety Devil Hunter uniform which consists of black slacks, a black necktie, and a white button-up shirt where he rolls the sleeves up above his elbows. For his shoes, he wears white buky sneakers that have red details on them. Denji also comes with three different heads. One is his usual expression where he grins showing off his sharp teeth and his eyes that have bags under them. The second expression shows Denji looking condescending as he has his mouth wide open and sticking his tongue out, he looks to be ready to transform. The last option is the transformed chainsaw head which looks like a red metallic helmet with a chainsaw protruding from the middle of it with blood marks on the tip. His jaw with many sharp and pointy teeth can be opened and closed with an attachable long tongue to further recreate the scenes from the series. To add to the transformation there are alternate arms parts that have chainsaws coming out from the middle of his arms showing his chainsaw devil appearance. There is an extra optional blood effect that can be attached to the chainsaw coming out of his head to make it look like he has just slashed someone and the blood has splattered onto his chainsaw. There is also the rope he pulls that is attached to his chest which he uses to transform into the chainsaw devil as well as a little Pochita to add to the wide variety of situations the Denji Nendoroid can show.
