Accessories/Gimmicks
Nozomu comes with the following accessories and parts:
- Two alternate facial expressions: Despaired and Impatient
- Alternate pair of hands for the Despaired pose.
- Briefcase filled with suicide-related materials as shown in the anime. You cannot open this though.
- A Muffler.
- Class Book: For recording student grades and other stuff.
- Rope. This is definitely a Must-have.
- A spare hair portion with a hole for hanging with the rope.
- New Display Stand which is definitely much better than Neuro's.
~ Muffler, Briefcase and Book
~ Impatient
(actually, the way I posed him here, this is when he accidentally touched Chiri's oppai. Hehehehe XD )
~ ZETSUBO-SHITTA!!!
It took me a while to understand how to insert the rope. You need to interchange the hair parts. Quite risky I might say, especially if you accidentally break his fragile fragile glasses.
I'll definitely be despaired if that happens. Fortunately, the weight seems to be balanced so its unlikely that his body would detach from his body if you hung him for real.
Its too bad that his face parts don't fit on Neuro. It could've been nice if it does. But their heads are interchangeable which is a nice consolation of sorts.
Accessories and Gimmicks - 10/10
Poseability
Limited poseability but enough to pose him in his trademark despaired poses or just walking by to greet his students that will later push him into the verge of committing suicide. Hehehe.
His legs have ball joints attaching them to his pelvic area so he's more poseable there than Neuro.
Poseability - 10/10
Painting
As usual, Good Smile Company is reputated to bring crisp and solid paint job with no blotches and bleeds.
Painting - 10/10
Sculpting
"I'm in despair! Despaired over this overly cute appearance!" - Official Description in the GSC Website
Now I can see why he said that. His transition from the SEGA Prize figure to Nendoroid is well-portrayed. Very much recognizable as Kumeta's suicidal masterpiece.
Sculpting - 10/10
I really enjoyed this figure. He may be much more expensive than a Play Arts figure but then again, there aren't much Zetsubo-sensei figures out there and that he's not lacking any essential accessories.
Final Score: 10/10
