S.H. Figuarts Momotaros Imagin DX Set (2009)


Yes, every henshined form of Den-O has a Figuart, at this point. Though, if pressed, I’d have to admit that outside of Super Climax, which is one of the most glorious suits I’ve ever seen, the individual Den-O suits don't particularly appeal to me. The Imagin themselves, however? Wonders of paradoxical beauty. Show them to a Westerner, with no context, and I guarantee you they’ll say they’re creepy. How can you be creeped out by these lovable goofballs, if you’ve seen them in action, though?

Their figuarts are almost universally fantastic. Momo here can be bought individually, or in this DX set, which contains a DenLiner booth! If you’re going all in (which, you probably should), this is the way to get him. INSTANT DISPLAY. Ryuuta on the floor coloring, everyone else seated. Or, choking each other~ You get posing, holding, and rage hands, his sword and his coffee. He looks a little overly cheerful, but unlike Ura’s facial aberration, I’m glad to see Momo happy.

It’s been a while since I had this set, but looking at this picture of mine it seems like he came with cardboard versions of his sunglasses from Climax Deka, and the NO FIGHTING and Ore Sanjou! signs from the show. Good luck getting the former to stay on his head, but hey, the thought is very nice.

Absolutely wonderful in either iteration. Just be mindful of every Imagin’s kneepads. If you’re willing to risk potential future sales, carefully gluing them in is an option.
