SOFVI SPIRITS SHRIKETHORN | Figure Review

The second figure in the Sofvi Spirits Pacific Rim Uprising line is the Kaiju, Shrikethorn

Shrikethorn is one beastly figure. I gotta admit though, I wasn't all that impressed with it when I first took him out of the box. But as I really started to examine it, he began to grow on me.

The sculpt is good. The head in particular is pretty wicked looking. I especially like the plating around the arms and legs. From head to tails, Shrikethorn has some nicely textured skin. And the spikes all over the body really make this Kaiju stand out.

On it's own, Shrikethorn would be a boring looking Kaiju if it weren't for 3 things: The face, the dual tails and the spines.
And the coloring on this figure helps with that as well. His mostly light brown body is adorned with red for the face, orange on the limbs and shades of blue everywhere.

Looking at him from the front, you'll see a few luminescent lines common on most Kaiju from the series.
I feel like there could be a little more blue shading in the tail spikes though.

Like the Sofvi Spirits Raijin, Shrikethorn doesn't have a great deal of articulation. We do get arm rotation below the shoulders and at the elbows.
He can rotate at the waist and his tails can turn slightly as well.

This Shrikethorn figure makes a great addition to the Tamashii Nations Pacific Rim Uprising line and looks great when posed next to the other Jaeger figures. 
However, I think Bandai might be charging a bit too much for it. Raijin went for about $40 and Shrikethorn is presently going for over $60. 
I'd probably try to find this figure for cheaper than that.
