S.H. Figuarts DX Body-Kun School Life Edition Set (Gray Color Ver.)

Finally, a Body-Kun loaded with school-life gear instead of just basic fists — the variety of alternate heads alone makes this set worth it for posing study scenes. The articulation is smooth enough to nail a realistic reading posture, and the gray color gives it a clean, neutral look on my shelf.

The articulation is surprisingly smooth for a gray plastic body, and the extra hands swap out easily without popping off. I just wish the set came with a second neck joint for more posing freedom, but it's a solid buy for practice sketches.

The extra hands and head styles are plentiful, which is great for posing. But the gray plastic feels a bit cheaper in hand than I hoped for the price, even if the articulation is as smooth as ever.
