Took a week, but finally had time to open Burakwani!





He's a bit looser than the other OOOs or recent SICs, which helps with his gator-leg mode. Shoulder posability's still decent, despite the large shoulder pads. He can't really look up, but the neck & head joints mean he can look down pretty well. The top of his turbin can move in its peg when you grab it to move the head, so it's best to grab him by the sides of the head instead.



His shield pieces peg into his wrist cuffs. The larger clear piece has a middle peg, which you can use to peg into one arm rather than dual-wielding.




It's not hard to get his arms in the right position to peg the single-piece shield in, or to get his arms close enough for the split-piece shield.




At least the inside pf the turbin (maybe the whole thing?) is actually clear plastic. Unpegs from the back of the head easily enough, and the snake is flexible rather than stiff, so no fragility fears.



His gripping hands (used for the flute & the sword) are super-tight and its not the biggest hole between the thumb and rest of the hand, so with the flute made from stiffer plastic, I felt a bit cautious trying to get that thing rammed into his hand for this pose.



Gator leg mode is comical. If I had more room, I'd display him this way because this is ridiculous, in a good way. The somewhat looser torso & hips will help give you some decent poses when in this mode, but I'm not sure how I'll feel about it if it gets looser over time.



I didn't have as much trouble getting the sword into his gripping hand (less stiff plastic on the sword handle). The removable piece on the sword for containing the extra medals pegs in nicely, so I can leave the coins in without worry of it flying off and the coins becoming vacuum bait (one of the medaljaliburs, I think OOO's, had that piece pretty loose on mine, if memory serves).



The OOO releases certainly aren't getting old or boring for me. Love these things, looking forward to Super Tatoba and (whenever they finally get around to it) Latoratar.
