As is typical of these Nendoroid figures, the Kikoru Shinomiya edition of Kaiju No. 8 includes: 3 face changes in total (combat face, comic face, and competitive face), extra limbs for different poses, a mini personal weapon, the Defense Force mask and its respective support base. This type of figures are not able to stand on their own, that’s why they need a special base that holds the figure from the back in order to keep the balance correctly.
