I preordered this statue because I'm an Ibuki fan, but honestly hadn't given it much thought until I got the shipping notice from Sideshow. I assembled it yesterday and have to say that I'm absolutely blown away by this one. The size, the pose and how they balanced it, the extra arms and head, the tanuki are all amazing. The base was incredibly well thought out, the cherry petals come in 5 or 6 separate pieces, all held in by magnets.
I know it's not selling well, and $500 may be a lot for a minor character, but if this goes on sale DEFINITELY pick it up if you were on the fence.
