I remember back in the day I hesitated on this figure because I thought his hair looked too stiff and glossy, but I can say the pictures are deceptive and he looks great in person! I love the pose from the talent splash art and the block base helps add support to a pose that normally would become a very bad leaner. When posed with the matching Hajime he can also quite easily hold Hajime's arm or slightly intertwine fingers if you so feel inclined!
