S.H. Figuarts Naruto Shippuden - Shikamaru Nara (Brilliant Strategist)

The hinge on his jaw lets me recreate that slouching, thinking pose perfectly. The included shadow-possession effect piece is a nice touch for display.

The hand signs are cast so sharply that you can actually recreate the Shadow Possession jutsu pose from the show. Articulation in the elbows and knees feels smooth right out of the box, and swapping the faceplates is surprisingly easy for such small parts. Really captures his lazy genius vibe perfec

The extra arm parts fold out perfectly for his Shadow Possession pose, and the joints feel solid enough for dynamic stances. Posing him with his hand in his pocket just like in the show brings back so many memories.
