Shinnosuke Nohara vol. 1 (ver. A), Kasukabe Boueitai — Banpresto figure

About this Crayon Shin-chan figure

This is Shinnosuke Nohara vol. 1 (ver. A), Kasukabe Boueitai, out of the Crayon Shin-chan roster. It stands about 4.3 in. It is a display piece rather than a toy — the pose is the product, and there is nothing to articulate or swap afterwards.

What the listing specifies

Taken from the product listing, trimmed of the sales language:

• Kasukabe Boueitai Shinnosuke Nohara vol. 1 (ver. A)!
• Standing at approximately 4.3" tall, Shinnosuke Nohara (ver. A) is seen in his popular pose

Looking after it

Two things shorten a prize figure's life: a sunny shelf and a damp cloth. Keep it shaded, and when dust settles use a dry make-up brush — cloth fibres hook on sculpted hair and fingers and take them off.

Where this Banpresto figure sits in the hall

On the Crayon Shin-chan shelf this is the 21st dearest of 29 Banpresto figures, and the shelf as a whole runs $15 to $67. For scale, the deepest shelf in the hall is Dragon Ball with 115 collectable figures on it; a Dragon Ball piece from the same line as this one is built to the same height and finish, which is the quickest way to judge a Banpresto format before committing to it.
