Body kun & body chan bundle bought from aliexpress. So I know that these are most likely (99.99999% ) fakes, because the regular suppliers of these SH Figuarts has them as sold out. I donβt trust any of the options on amazon as the reviews were so low, those might be fakes as well, but theyβre charging well over what the actual price of these products are. So I decided my next option would be ebay, which left me with the same results as amazon, low reviews and high prices, so next to aliexpress, which had multiple ones with good reviews and great prices.Β
So the prices for the ones on aliexpress are a little below what the actual prices were on the sites I normally buy my Japanese figurines from ( they come straight from Japan) buuuuttt since that wasnβt an option, I got the ones from china haha XD
so knowing that theyβre going to be most likely fakes, I went by best price and reviews. So I settled on this sellerΒ βtoysbar storeβ which is relatively new.Β
here are the ones I purchased:Β https://www.aliexpress.com/item/In-stock-Archetype-He-Archetype-She-Ferrite-SHFiguarts-BODY-KUN-BODY-CHAN-Ver-PVC-Action-Figure/32800975954.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.Fovx6G
It came in a weird kinda bubble wrap which protected it very well. The packaging was great, and it came in a timely manner. The quality, however, was a little bit different for each of the figurines I bought. I purchased both Body kun & Body chan DX set [gray color ver.] because it came with the laptop, gun, sword, and phones.Β
Body kun was very well built, all the pieces fit together very nicely. He was study and can stand by himself without a stand. The only thing I had trouble with would be the pen/writing utensil hand, the stylis/pen/pencil didnβt fit the hands very well and kept slipping out for awhile, but I did get it to stay. Sometimes, the joints for the wrists didnβt retain the shape I had bent it into, but overall, the joints bent very well.
instruction manual & other manual: 2/2
fit with hands with accessories: 4/5
The reason why I give the accessories a fit of 4/5 is because I had a hard time shoving the gun into the gun hand, and still have no idea which is the sword hand.
other than that they were very nicely together.
and then I put all the accessories inside the box/table/stand/ thing. not really sure what it is or what the plastic crossbar is for, but the box/table/stand/thing does hold together very nicely and is great for storing the accessories so they donβt get lost. (they are very small and could easily get lost (esp. the smartphone or the stylist/pen/stick thing)
[I also took a picture of all the sides of the box, from what Iβve seen/heard/researched thereβs supposed to be a special sticker if itβs official? (not 100% sure on that) but I wanted to show all the sides of the box so one can see what is on the box and such]
Body chan on the other hand, was more cheaply made than Body Kun. Her pieces didnβt exactly fit together all the way and her face was scratched. the connecting back piece to her back torso didnβt fit all the way in, due to a little piece of plastic in the hole that was in the way. I fixed it though, so it wasnβt that bad. The hands also had the same problem as Body kun, in that the gun was a tight fit and I had to work at it to get the gun in the hand, and the stylis/pen/pencil/writing utensil/stick didnβt fit in the writing hand very well. I did get it to stay eventually. The only other set back is that body chan could not stand on her own and had to be propped by the stand to stand up. The joints however were a little bit less stiff than Body Kunβs and the toes were easier to move and same with the legs and arms.Β

(same issue with body kun)
(not sure if you can see it here, but she has 3 scratches on her face 1) left side of nose 2) above nose between where the eyebrows would be 3) above and to the left of scratch #2)
The Body Kun & Body ChanΒ
and because body chan just wouldnβt stand on her own )and I had already put up her stand and accessories,) she is not in any cool positions
hope you enjoyed the body kun/chan review and hopefully youβll end up with good figurines if you get any!~
