The new Toynami Naruto Shippuden line is out (the one listed as 4" on websites). My Kakashi came in the mail today. He's great and worth getting.

He comes with:
Opened plams
Kunai holding hands (Kunais not removable)
Seal hands
Left hand holding Icha-Icha Tactics (SWEET!)
2 heads (one with bandana down and with bandana up)
And finally a clear round stand (Wich Hasbro would use simple stands like this).

Still a shame that he didn't get a Lightning Cutter hand. Still, it's more stuff than I expected.

Articulation is great. He uses a kind of fake Revolver Joint in the shoulders, neck, and ankles. I would believe it if Toynami said they tried to get the use of offical Revolver Joints, but couldn't. In fact, with very little doing these joints can be replaced with real Revolver Joints.

Anyways, here's what he's got:
The already mentioned NOT Revolver Joints in the ankles, shoulders, and neck.
Swivel jointed knees, thighs, elbows, and two on each hand (one at connection and one that bends inward).
Ball/Socket jointed hips, waist (inside the crotch), and in his inter shoulders (allowing the shoulders to shift forward, back, up, and down).
Some kind of joint in the torso that has the same effect as mid torso joints on Joes (think it's a Ball/Socket joint).

The detail of this figure is pretty good as well. The most impressive pieces are the Sharingan eye and Icha-Icha Tactics. My pictures can not do the Sharingan eye justice, but it has the ring and dots (doesn't have tails due to size) painted on. Icha-Icha Tactics has all the Japan Kanji on it and the right artwork is there too. Nice!

Now for the lie. Kakashi is not 4" as every website says. He's almost 5.5" tall. 4" scale is a lie. These are generally 5" scale which works better with Revoltechs, Ninja Turtles, and even the Mattel Naruto figures. That's not a big problem to me, but still disappointing as I planned to have him kick Snake Eyes' ass and fight my accidental Storm Shadow army. So yeah, he's going on my Revoltech shelf instead of my 4" scale shelf.

Final Thoughts:
Completely worth it. Of course, what competition does it have? Mattel? BWAHAHAHA! Yeah right! Those broke in half before they were outta the box. Those fairly rare and pricey Bandai figures from years ago? Those are pricey and rare! It's simply a good Naruto figure. That's hard to come by. Plus, it's less than $15.
