PROPLICA Nichirin Sword (Tanjiro Kamado) packaging

First, the package.

箔押しIt has a luxurious feel.

"NICHIRIN SWORD"What ...

DX NichirintoThis is what it looks like compared to the package.
Big.

When opened, it is a tonguetwitterPeople you often see inThere was.

There's something on the other side too.

The contents look like this.
The packaging is simpler than I expected.

PROPLICA Nichirin Sword (Tanjiro Kamado) set contents

セット内容は以下の通りです。

The back of the base part is heavily hollowed out.

Also, the instructions said to be careful of scratches, but after assembling the base, I ended up with some scratches when I took it apart again.
Let's be careful.

This is what it looks like when you set the main body on the assembled base.
Perfect for a tokonoma alcove or similar.

PROPLICA Nichirin Sword (Tanjiro Kamado) Body Review

The blade is made of ABS,The blade has a hairlineThe embossing (is that what you call it?)The ridge is mirror-finishedIt is expressed with clear paint.
I was impressed by the way they managed to recreate the texture without using plating.

The habaki part is die-castusing.
I think this is due to individual differences, but the processing was rough and there were some rough scratches on the surface, so those who are sensitive to such things may find it bothersome.

The tsuba is painted ABS..
I think the glossy metallic black looks great.

The handle part has a very plastic feel to it.
The molded color is black with silver and red parts painted on.

The paint did not cover all the red raised areas, and in some places the molded color was visible.

There is a speaker hole in the head from which sound comes out.

One side of the handle detaches dynamically, and inside you'll find the power switch and battery box.

The power is turned off when the x in the middle is displayed.ASo"Demon Slayer Mode",B The"Go Tanjiro mode".

The battery box also has a lid that is secured with screws, so you'll need a screwdriver to open it.

Uses 4 AAA batteries.

DX NichirintoとProprika Nichirin SwordI have just lined them up.

The Proprica Nichirin Sword is quite large, but contrary to its appearance it is light, while the DX Nichirin Sword is heavier.
This differs depending on the target age group.
The blade of the Proprica Nichirin Sword, intended for ages 15 and up, is made entirely of ABS, is thin, sharp and lightweight, while the blade of the DX Nichirin Sword, intended for ages 6 and up, is thick and made of both ABS and PVC, prioritizing durability.

PROPLICA Nichirin Sword (Tanjiro Kamado) Audio Gimmick Review

Regarding the sound gimmick, there are buttons on the top and bottom of the handle, and pressing these will activate the sound gimmick.

Index finger button

Thumb button

"Demon Slayer Mode"-"Go Tanjiro mode"In either case,Index finger button Attack sound,Thumb side button Lines.
Press and hold the thumb buttonBGM"Gurenge -TV ver.-"flows,Press and hold the index finger buttonで"Water breathing mode".
"Demon Slayer Mode"と"Go Tanjiro mode"The difference is the sound of the thumb button, roughly"Go Tanjiro mode"Then.During combatThe line,"Demon Slayer Mode" Theother than thatIt's something like this line.
These lines and attack sounds can be activated even while background music is playing; in this case, the background music will not be interrupted, but the volume will be slightly reduced, allowing you to enjoy the atmosphere of the anime's production.

"Water breathing mode"Then.Index finger button Water Breathing Style,Thumb side buttonでLinesIt is also possible to insert lines of dialogue into the water breathing sound.
Also, in this statePress and hold the thumb buttonでBGMwill be played.

A style that keeps up with the trends.

The sound gimmick makes you laugh! The appearance is a little shabby

in a general wayProprika Nichirin Sword (Tanjiro Kamado)I tried playing with it, and the sound gimmick is definitely fun.
Role-playing toys aimed at high-end customers are very likely to come equipped with a gimmick that plays background music from the movie, and I think you'll actually be laughing out loud just by pressing a button and playing the background music.
The price is also reasonable for this type of item, so even people who don't often buy toys may find it easy to pick up.
Because it's cheap, the appearance is a bit indecisive, so I think the more extreme DX version is better.
DX NichirintoとProprika Nichirin Sword (Tanjiro Kamado)Personally, when comparingLooks like a DX Nichirin sword,The sound gimmick is PropricaSomething like that, I guess.
By playing around with Proprica, I was able to once again appreciate the good points of the DX version.
