Hey everybody BAM Collectibles here back for another statue unboxing review for you!
The Pain Invasion Arc within Naruto will always be one of my all-time favorites so I am stoked to showcase
today another statue of Jiraiya versus Pain by Chikara Studio. Be sure to stick around to the end
of the video where I will showcase Green Lotus Studio Jiraiya versus Pain against this one to
show you what they look like side by side. For real though this base freaking rocks! I love the
way that we have the clear resin dripping down from the center there it's all muddy and dirty
up as well and then on the back we'll find these two notches that will be supporting some larger
piping that really just enforce the fact that you know this is from the Village Hidden in the Rain.
Chikara also did an amazing job at making the base truly detailed I mean if you look at the
rock itself it's got so many different layers of depth to it that make it look extremely
realistic and then we have this Path of Pain sitting over here to the side, I won't reveal
which one just yet but there's a peg in the center of his body where Jiraiya will be keyed into later
and then obviously he's missing both of his hands and his head. There's a closer look at that resin
there it looks extremely realistic. I love it great attention to detail and there's also a notch there
where another Path of Pain will be resting. In comes the first pipe that's going to be
installed on the back of this and it's got a nice rustic feel to it and the one thing that
i've kind of always wanted to know i'm not sure if it ever explains it is why there's so much piping
in the village hidden in the rain because I guess maybe it's meant to redirect all the water that's
coming all throughout the village so it kind of goes through the piping and goes elsewhere.
If anybody else has an idea or what they're for please let me know in the comment section
below that's my thought on it. The second larger pipe we see here is going to have two different
purposes so on the bottom there is a large steel rod that's going throughout it that's because on
this notch it's actually going to support a complete Path of Pain that's going to mount
to the side of it. So it's not just an effect piece that enhances the overall base it's going to serve
as the backbone to support a character later on. Next we'll go ahead and dress up the Path of Pain
that is sitting on the right side. Here is the hand for it which is sculpted with a magnet on the end
so it just magnetizes right onto the body and this is none other than the Human Path of Pain.
This is the one that had the ability to read minds and also suck out souls. I greatly look forward to
showcasing more of IM Studios Paths of Pain where actually they're going to get their own
unique statues each and this one will have one surely so I look forward to seeing those if you
haven't caught those videos before I've already showcased two both Nagato and Yahiko and if you
haven't checked this out I'll go ahead and link them here but fantastic details by Chikara Studio on
the head sculpt. Changing up the angles a little bit it's time to introduce the Preta Path of
Pain which has gotten absolutely wrecked he'll be laying on the ground as a large
notch on the back here and also his back you can see is a little bit more flat because it's going
to have to sit and rest flush with the base but the jacket of the Akatsuki looks incredible also
this red cloud there's a paint sticker on there and then we have some texturing here on the pants
and also the wrapping on the feet amazing job the sculpting on this was done so well.
I really have to give great praise to the studio because if I recall this is actually their
first statue that they ever made and the overall engineering behind the statute how everything is
going to come together to feel extremely organic like it was taken from the fight scene of Jiraiya
versus these Paths of Pain just immaculate how they were able to bring this to life.
Even stuff as simple as these chakra rods that are sculpted on the body how clean
the paint job on them it just looks so believable and realistic like it jumped right out of the show.
Here is the face that only a mother could love look at this ugly mug here something
crazy is we look on the side these earrings or piercing chakras whatever it is that's coming up
they are extremely sharp. I can't tell if they're made of resin or actual steel easily if I pressed
my finger down hard enough it could have pierced me but the headbands on these are also really
cool because they look a bit I think I've used this word before rustic but they're not just a
clean looking headband they look like they have a little bit of rust that's being built up maybe
because they're constantly wet by being in the village hidden in the rain but what an incredible
head sculpt done for the Preta of Path of Pain. Jumping over to another part of the statue if
you thought the Preta Path got wrecked we all know right the Animal Path or the Summoning
Path of Pain got completely wrecked. On the back we have a steel rod and a notch that's going to
be connecting it to the pipe very very important for that to be strong because it needs to hold
up this heavy body and this large sphere-looking hole in the center we all know what's going there!
While I'm getting this installed I want to mention for those unaware I do have memberships on the
channel that you can join and for those that are in the Kage tier they have access to an exclusive
once a month coupon that is good at favorgk.com if you want to check out the details of that just
click that JOIN button on the video I greatly can look forward to answering any questions anyone has
on that but we'll go ahead and look at the Animal Path face here. A bit of confusion for me because
most of the Paths of Pain didn't have a lot of emotion and this one showed a lot of emotions so
it kind of threw me off here is the hair piece we remember him having a very very long ponytail for
this so it's going to come in with that tiny steel rod and a notch in the back of his head.
With that installed this does completely add to how dynamic the statue is and all the different
actions that are going on. Again thrown off with the emotion from on the face I always imagine
them not having emotion because they're just bodies being used you know by Nagato in this
whole thing but here we have the LED's are going to be used for this. If you twist it it connects the
battery and turns it on as you see they're very very bright LED's for being so small and compact.
HUGE thanks to Chikara Studio for including this remote here to turn it on and off.
Usually when you have separate LED's that aren't controlled by a wire or a USB
power it is a pain because you have to turn them on manually and you never end up enjoying them
but because it comes with a remote where you can easily turn it on I'm gonna actually use this one.
Now here we have the Rasengan that's included a lot larger than we normally see and this is
the one that delivered the final blow that took out the animal Path of Pain.
So thankful for that remote because I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to actually enjoy
these LED's because with how easy it is to turn it on with the flip of a switch like that bada bing
bada boom looks incredible brings more character and life to the scene and the overall statue.
You know how we do too right we're gonna be doing four packs of Naruto CCG cards because we have
four characters represented in the statue. Let me quickly cut through all these packs...
With that done let's go ahead and bust these open take a look and see what's inside.
I'm thinking with four actual packs to go through right we're gonna have a higher chance
at pulling some actual SR's right we usually have had some massive luck in the past but here I think
we're gonna actually it's just gonna be the day where we pull two maybe there's a chance we'll
see oh that's an awesome looking Kisame card huh that's the same rare we had for the last pack.
I gotta say there's one card that I've been hunting for and it's gonna be the Sage Mode
Jiraiya card it's one that I do want to acquire and eventually showcase next to this statue that
would be incredible oh that was our holographic for the packs that probably means there's no
super rare are we gonna have luck in this last pack to see if we can pull one I think so.
For those that have been asking when I'm gonna be breaking open the next booster box probably not
anytime soon I'm actually really enjoying doing these in the middle of some of these videos drop
that card again oh I love that card it always thinks it looks like a super rare card because
it's purple but it is not well let's see what we have and Hiruzen and Kankuro okay man look
at this I love the art on these cards you never get to see stuff like that oh my god
it's incredible. So yeah no booster box anytime soon maybe in the future we'll crack one open
but for now we'll just keep on sprinkling them in on the unboxings here we have Jiraiya in his Sage
Mode looking as incredible as ever. On the bottom we'll see that steel rod which is very important
it runs up through the entire leg to support the body also the sandal is a bit deformed
because it's going to be resting on one of the Paths of Pain the battle damage though look at
that doesn't look so good there's all throughout sprinkled we'll see a bunch of different scrapes
and tearing in the outfit. For being a one-sixth scale statue they really managed to pack in a lot
of details usually this is the kind of details you might see in quarter scale statues but for
them they did such an amazing job. On the shoulders here you can't really see them but there are two
magnets impacted here that will later you know allow you to have Ma and Pa on the shoulders.
I know some people get triggered when I call them just Ma and Pa I know this is Shima right here
and Pa is Fukusaku but I like to call Ma and Pa a lot simpler a lot easier and just fun to say.
Really cool how they sculpted these separately I think they did a great
job with it on the bottom you see it's curved so they can perfectly rest on that shoulder.
How cool does that look right so it's really cool how they flawlessly fit onto the shoulders
so if you for some reason didn't want them on there or you wanted to put them somewhere else
on the statue you could and it doesn't affect the outfit at all. Here we have the hands that
were sculpted separately really perfect right there's so many details that go into Jiraiya's
hands while compared to something like the paths of payne's hands and again they did it so well
Let's go ahead and get these attached onto the body here and I will tell you if you
didn't notice already i did have to remove the head of the bottom right Path of Pain
because that gets in the way of his foot you'll see here the strand that goes over
and you can't connect them unless you do remove that first. Jiraiya's scroll was also
sculpted separately I don't know what it is about statues there's something about seeing
the scroll I always love holding in person all the details that they cram in there as well and these
are also some bits of ropes that they sculpted separately that are more details they don't
really help to hold it in because of that notch and the magnet inside is what really holds it but
it just adds more details to it and accuracy to how Jiraiya normally does hold his scroll.
The ropes are a bit tricky to get in unfortunately one had fallen off on the left side I'll go ahead
and pick that up in just a moment but they just kind of go towards the inside of Jiraiya's body
once you settle them into place. If you were to see it from the back end which I should have taken a
video of it doesn't look that great that clean but it could be that I'm installing them incorrectly.
Here we have the first head sculpt for Jiraiya this is him in his non Sage Mode of course we have that
notch in the back where the piece of hair is going to be going but here we can see it's a mixture
right of both pain intensity you can really feel that he is delivering a final blow to pain
and then over here as well this one is extremely intense compared to the other
and I love the fact that they offered the options available in the statue to showcase him
in whichever way that you would like. Let me know in the comments below which head sculpt would you
put on the statue if you owned it and this is something that they included that I love when
studios do it is an alternative place to hold the secondary head sculpt that you're not using.
How cool is this right?! So rather than keeping it in the box or throwing it behind the statue
you can showcase it near or next to it now here we have that giant lion mane looking hair that
stapled to Jiraiya such a difficult thing to sculpt and they did it so successfully so well.
Because it has some weight to it it is important to have a steel rod
connected to the rest of the statue so you're typically going to see steel rods
connecting heavy pieces and magnets for the lighter ones but here is how it looks when
you connect it to the back of the head. I'm probably going to be actually using
some blue tack in the back to further reinforce it so let me just put that in there right now.
I'm going to also remove Ma and Pa just for the slight chance that I do knock them off
I don't want any damages to happen for them but that's how it looks installed incredible.
The head is a little loose and so that does concern me a little bit I'll need to figure out
maybe scrape away sometimes at the paint that's on top of the magnet to give a stronger hold for
the magnets of the neck joint and the body but there we have Ma and Pa back on the shoulders.
Included with the statue is also going to be a paper certificate of authenticity they have a
nice awesome looking wax seal here. I swear one day I would love to own a wax seal of some sort that
would be incredible maybe have like a BAM on it or something but as you can see here there's only
81 of these made in the world right that is such a low edition size so what an incredible collector's
piece and here is the two of Green Lotus in Chikara Studios side by side. I'd love to hear your
thoughts and comments below for those that checked that video out to see which one do you think is better.
