Bandai Tamashii Nations S.H. Figuarts Inspector Koichi Zenigata Lupin-III Action Figure, 15 cm Height

Inspector Zenigata was released in October 2016 at a price of 5,940 yen or about $55.69 US. I paid $68.49 from an online auction site. This figure was released as a “Tomashii web shop” which means it was a limited edition and explains why Zenigata and Daisuke Jigen are so much more expensive than Lupin and Fujiko. I don’t think Zenigata is worth the inflated price unless you’re a true Lupin fan which I am.Zenigata has pretty much the exact same articulation as Lupin and both are a bit dated. The shoulders lift parallel to the ground and rotate but there is a weird kind of primitive butterfly joint that doesn’t serve much of a purpose other than to get in the way. The elbow and knee joints bend well beyond 90 degrees although the legs bump up against his jacket. There is no bicep rotation and the elbow rotation is rather stiff. There is slight ab crunch and the figure can twist just below the tie. The ankle articulation is decent, but the neck range is a little disappointing. The head can’t lean back at all, so it’s perpetually tilted forward. That’s not to say that this stance isn’t appropriate for Zenigata since that’s how he generally stands.The paint job is nice but not the best I’ve seen from Bandai. I can see some of the paint from Zenigata’s jacket on his white sleeve. I was impressed that I could see Zenigata’s signature eyelashes when I looked through a magnifying glass. Zenigata doesn’t always wear the same colored clothing but I may have found the image that Bandai went from when creating the figure and the resemblance is uncanny. Even his physical dimensions include his skinny little ankles are perfect. My favorite part of the figure is the coat which is a separate, although non-removable, piece. Obviously, the sleeves are not separate pieces and are part of the main figure molding.Based on what you get, I’d say this figure would be appropriately be priced in the $40 to $45 range, if even. The problem is that Bandai likes to create some figures as a limited release and I assume this was because there is less interest in Zenigate and Jigen than Lupin and Fujiko. Poor Goemon didn’t merit any figure. If you love Lupin III and have the disposable income I suggest doing some checking around to find the best price because this is one occasion where Amazon wasn’t the best.

....Zenigata, con i prodotti Bandai non si sbaglia mai, ben fatto in ogni particolare magari leggermente eccessivo per il prezzo ma ne valsa la pena....

Creo que todas las figuras de FigurArts son buenas, con muchas articulaciones, compras una figura y tienes 1000.

バンダイの会員制Webショップ｢魂ウェブ商店」限定品の銭形警部の可動フィギュア。　ルパンや不二子の様に一般販売でも良かったのでは？と思える良く知られたキャラクターです。　【良い点】〇豊富な表情パーツ。通常顔、哄笑顔、ドヤ顔とも歯を食いしばる顔とも取れる顔の3種付き。〇豊富な手パーツ。本体付属も合せると左右4種ずつ。〇豊富な付属品。手錠2種（１つは手パーツに接着されています）、拳銃、そして御先祖様から伝わる十手です。〇原作に良く似ている。モンキーパンチ氏特有の裾の短いズボン、コートも良く再現。〇コートは脱げないが軟質素材なので比較的良く動く。　【少し気になる点】●次元と同様、帽子は脱げない。●コートも脱げないので、椅子に座ったりする時に制約が有ります。●高いお値段。ルパンや不二子が三千円代だった事を考えるとお高いです。　他の1/12フィギュアの悪漢、盗賊や、警察関係者と組み合わせると楽しいフィギュアです。　原作では余り観る事が出来なかった逮捕成功の情景を作って警部を慰労するのにピッタリです。

E una figura bellissima con tanti accessori a ben fatto!

魂ウェブ商店限定品、悩んでいる間に予約受付期間が終了しとても後悔していたのでアマゾンで入手できたのは非常にうれしいです。可動フィギュアとしては安心のS.H.フィギュアーツ、パーツも多く付属しており飾ってよし遊んでよしの逸品です。惜しむらくはほかのレビューにもあった通りコートがそこそこ硬度があるため座らせるのが難しいところ。
