You know how we are always asking for more male figures? Well, MegaHouse has been popping them out for quite some time now, and the newest one in their G.E.M lineup is Kakashi Hatake, the goofy sensei from Naruto. Now I am not the biggest Naruto fan, mostly because I was forced to watch through the first 100 episodes about 7 times by my brother and kids I babysat, but I always found Kakashi to be very endearing. With his goofy porn books and hair that he must spend a fortune maintaining, Kakashi was my favorite thing about the show. Well, Kankuro really was, but that's only because of my weakness for cat ears and purple.
MegaHouse's Kakashi is 1/8 scale and is set for a late November release (YAY NOT OCTOBER), and judging by the quality of another male figure of theirs that I own he will be amazing in person. At only 5780 yen at HobbySearch and 5430 yen at AmiAmi, he is also much more reasonably priced than a lot of other figures that have been going up recently. He also comes with a lot of extra parts (two left arms, one holding a shuriken and another holding a "love" book, two right arms, and two heads, both with and without the eyepatch), so you are also getting a lot for your money. Any of you Tomopeeps plan on ordering Kakashi? I know I am very tempted! MegaHouse also has some cool new male figures coming out (SPOILER: Kaworu!) so I am excited to see what they do next with this line!
