Introducing S.H.Figuarts Umamusume: Pretty Derby Oguri Cap and Tamamo Cross! Check out future event info and developments!
The game "Umamusume: Pretty Derby" celebrated its 2nd anniversary on February 24, 2023! To celebrate this memorable date, S.H.Figuarts Umamusume: Pretty Derby Oguri Cap and S.H.Figuarts Umamusume: Pretty Derby Tamamo Cross are now available for pre-order on the Tamashii Web Shop!
In this blog, we'll introduce the movable construction that has evolved from previous items in the series. In addition, we'll tell you a lot about the future development of the series and information on the figure event scheduled for March 25, 2023!
進化した可動構造
The first item of the S.H.Figuarts "Umamusume: Pretty Derby" series was S.H.Figuarts Umamusume: Pretty Derby Tokai Teio, released in July 2022. Each figure since has evolved not only in terms of modeling but also in terms of movable structure. Keep reading to see which parts have evolved in the latest entries: Oguri Cap and Tamamo Cross!
1. Stronger torso movement with POM material!
We've used polyoxymethylene (POM) material, which has excellent abrasion resistance and strength, for joints such as elbows and knees in previous figures, but we've increased POM usage in torso core for Oguri Cap and Tamamo Cross. The green parts in the pictures below show POM usage, which grants the figures an even more movable structure.
While the Umamusume do put on gorgeous live performances after the races are over, it's the races themselves that get our blood pumping. By improving the torso, it is now possible for them to bend forward without difficulty as shown in the images below. This evolutions makes them easier to play with and pose for sprinting!
2. Additional movable points in the shoulder joints!
In addition to the torso, the positioning of the arms is also a vital point in order to create a pose with a sense of speed. We reviewed these parts in Oguri Cap and Tamamo Cross, and added a joint at the base of the shoulder that allows for forward and backward swing as a new point of movement.
As a result, the range of arm expressions have been expanded, allowing for powerful sprinting poses with the shoulders leaning forward!
3. New drawer mechanism for Tamamo Cross's legs!
Tamamo Cross's outfit design makes any clearance (gap) for movement at the base of the thigh very noticable, so we've introduced a mechanism that allows the hip joint to be pulled downward.
これにより立ち姿の自然なシルエットと、レース時のポージングの両立を実現！ 特にレースシーン再現時にこちらの構造の効果が非常に高かった為、今後のラインナップにはデフォルト（標準仕様）でこの構造が採用される予定です。
On top of that, Oguri Cap also features improved hair movement, and by installing a joint at the base, it is possible to position her locks so they flutters back as she runs. Please check it out when you get your hands on it!
The pair can pose as a comedy (?) duo, zone out, or face off in a serious race. Get the two together and have fun creating any scene you like!
