Naruto Gals/Megahouse Review! MyFigureCollection.net
So this will be my second review and it's on Temari from Naruto Gals line by Megahouse! It does not have a specific scale but I'd say it's around 1/7.
Out of the girls from Naruto, Temari is my second favorite character after Sakura. I've always liked her since the beginning. She always appeared to tough, powerful and beautiful to me. She really has a special place in my heart for sure. I've always wanted a good quality -or any tbh- figure of hers, never thought it'd happen.
Little disclaimer:I bought her from Mandarake in opened condition. There are a few problems with the figure that I realised that were there while taking photos. I'll include them too.
www.youtube.com... if you can, open this in another tab! ^^
I'm going to include as many details as possible so I'll part the article by her each portion. I hid the photos under spoilers since this post has a ton of them. Here we go!
Temari - Naruto Gals by Megahouse
Box
The box has the same theme as the other figures from this line. It is nicely decorated with the photos of the figure all over. You'll get Temari, her fan, the base and the base peg from the box.

The Fan
Of course, her figure has her signature weapon Giant Folding Fan (Kyodai Sensu) that is showing only 1 star (circle). The strength of the gusts of wind she creates increases when she opens up the fan and shows more stars. (There are 3 stars, if you see all the three you better run!)
It is nicely shaded and looks an actual tiny fan! The only thing I realised was the weird line on the end but it's only noticeable if you look very closely. I'm holding it in my hand so that you can get the glimpse of the size.

The fan has its own separate peg that you need to attach to the base. I didn't realise this was even in the box it was so tiny. Also at first I thought that you need to just place the fan onto the peg but then realised by accident that you actually need to press it into the peg.. It was very to hard to balance it at first but after I placed it into the peg it stayed perfectly.

For the sake of seeing Temari from all angles and sides, I'm removing the fan and will be put it back into its place.
Base
She also has the generic Naruto Gals base, clear with Naruto's stamp but this time as a first, it has Sunogakure's symbol! Nice touch! By the way, placing her into the base was such trouble. It was very sturdy, I had to force it to make it look right.

Temari
Alright, I will include as many details I possibly can so I'll look into the figure from different parts. Let's take a look at her from all sides:

Face
I'd say Megahouse did a good job with she sculpt and color with this figure but especially with her face. One thing that I love about Temari is her eyes, both the shape and color. She has beautiful dark teal eyes and it looks great on the figure too. Her mouth has enough detail to point out her lips.

Outfit
Temari is probably the only person who had many outfit changes throughout the whole series and this is one of my favorite ones. -be sure to check out the end of the article about this topic- The metal-like chest piece looks pretty realistic and shiny which adds a nice contrast. Her shirt and skirt has some really nice shading and sculpt. I kinda find her bow on her waist a bit exaggerated but it's supposed to be a big bow anyway. I think it adds a nice motion. And of course, she's wearing her Sunagakure headband on her neck! in case if anyone's wondering, her panties are white.

There are a few errors with my figure. As I mentioned in the beginning this is an opened condition figure and mandarake usually does a poor job mentioning the problems of these types of figures. I didn't realise these before taking the photos. There are paint scruffs on her right arm, on the shirt. It's not that bad but if you pay attention you'll notice it. There is also a tiny paint scruff on the bow but that's not bothering me.

Legs/Feet
Her legs are finely sculpted and shaded. Her fishnets are real fabric which is a nice touch. The detail on the shoes and her toes are actually nice but I'm not a fan of the nails. Same with Sakura and Tsunade, I don't like the way they look. Looks like another layer of skin which that's not what is supposed to look like. They're a bit shiny though.

Hands
Okay, so this is one of the best things about this figure to me, her hands! They are so delicate and soft looking I've never seen a figure like this! The pose of her hands -especially the right one- looks like it came out of a painting! Shading is also perfect, looks like real skin, it has a bit of a pinkish color that gives the alive impression. I adjusted the light to make sure you can take a good look! Ugh, so nice.

Hair
Temari has a very unique and cool hair style that really stands out in the best way. Her figure is no different! Like her other features, it has perfect shading and sculpting. Really true to her design. They kinda remind me of pineapples^^ I love the the back of her head, her hair looks like it was braided.

Here's how it looks like she's holding the fan when you attach it to her base:

Here she is with all her glory!

My Final Thoughts About The Figure
I think this is the best figure from Megahouse's Naruto Gals line. -I love Sakura but her face doesn't really look like hers, so- The amount of details alone are just amazing. They really didn't go overboard with anything, stayed true to her design and really gave us the best Temari figure. My only wish for this was it to have Kamatari the weasel, the summon of Temari which first appeared when she was fighting in this outfit, also for the first time. They kinda missed their only chance to add it, oh well. If you're a fan of hers, don't hesitate to buy her! I am so happy to finally own her figure and much happier that it turned out this good! 100/10!
Note: My 2 Sakura and Tsunade figures are in their boxes at the moment and packed up so I couldn't take photos with them and Temari to compare sizes :(
Now for the Temari fans, I have a question for you. Which one of her outfits is the best and needs a figure?
View spoiler
As I mentioned earlier she had so many outfit changes it's hard to pick one! My favorite is number 5, I LOVED that one so so so much, wish she kept it. But of course I like number 1, 2 and maybe 3. 7 is the worst imo, mostly because of how they changed the hair and the outfit looks like a lazy copy of the 2. Also not a fan of the 8.
I included number 4 too even though it's not in the anime, she looks cute though. I'd pay any price to own her figure with number 5, ugh so good. But of course I'll take each one of them without a doubt. Let me know yours, I did a poll!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read, hope I did help you to analyze and enjoy this figure as much as I did! ^^
See you on a different review!
