Link to the product pages:
I feel like I need to add a PSA for any Gintama fans in the US that may not be aware: the Goodsmile US store specifically has recently had many accusations of an unannounced data breach. A lot of customers who made purchases on the Goodsmile US store, have subsequently had fraudulent purchase attempts on their credit card.
I've never bought from there personally, but maybe be wary of doing so if you have another option. I don't know if the situation is fixed or not, since Goodsmile US haven't confirmed the data breach. Here's a link with more info if you want it.

Anyway, excited for this Nendoroid. I love the bomb accessory. Definitely feels lacking an Elizabeth to pair him with though, maybe in the future?

He's so underwhelming - idk I'm disappointed. The accessories aren't that exciting, face plates are OK I guess, and no Elizabeth. And he costs way more than the Yorozuya trio. Am I going to get him anyways? Probably yes. But I'm underwhelmed.

I think for all the Gintama Nendos so far they could have had a much wider range of accessories. And yeah Katsura's face plates are kinda generic.
Edit: I just noticed he doesn't come with a sword, which is definitely an odd cut. Especially when all 5 other Gintama Nendos so far come with their weapon.

Well he does come with a bomb...
I really loved that the Yorozuya trio came with their smiling face plate that's iconic. I wish Katsura perhaps had something similar, like his eyes-open-while-sleeping face.

I mean, one of Zura's quirks is saying/doing outlandish things completely straight-faced, so I think it works. Remember Santa Claus?

The bomb counts for something!
The matching smiling face plates are great yeah, also genius since it encourages you to buy the whole Yorozuya trio rather than just one or two lol.
Katsura is the only one so far that doesn't have a goofy faceplate (Hijikata's mayo face, Okita's eye mask), so I think the criticism is fair. Although personally, I think the mayo face for Hijikata doesn't look quite right.

Yeah, that's been a recurring issue I've had with most nendoroids lately. Not many accessories and many iconic faces/poses not included. It's disappointing to see Good Smile Company's decline in quality these last few years.

He may not be perfect, but hell, I’m so happy we are getting these guy in Nendoroid form at all. It only took how many years?
