S.H. Figuarts released Mr. Satan from Dragon Ball series earlier this year as Web exclusive. It's a pretty cool character with nice details and a good amount of accessories.
The articulation isn't the greatest, though the joints are relatively easy to move. His hands are also very easy to swap out, probably the easiest I've experienced with a Figuarts. He comes dressed in purplish robe, white pants, black and white shoes and his big affro. There are lines on his chest, arms and hands to represent his hairyness.
He comes with 4 different face plates (mouth closed, mouth open, mouth open with raised eyebrow, clenched teeth with widened eyes. 4 pairs of hands (fists, grabbing, peace sign and 2 different pointing), 3 different waist belts, a cape and his little dog Bee. The figure can be pulled apart at the waist to switch out the belts, and the cape is put on my pulling off the neck and clipping a tab on the inside of the cape into a hole on his back. He also has a small piece to cover the hole when not wearing the cape. The photo above shows how to switch that small piece out.
The articulation is on the head, neck, shoulders, elbows (though those are limited due to the sculpt and cut), upper torso, waist, thighs, knees, a little bit at ankles and toe hinges. The legs can kick up and to the side but they're limited by the skirt section of his robe. You can get him to sit, it just takes some work of the legs and torso.
Despite the limits on some of the joints, he's still a cool figure, just not one that you'll get to put in any wild yoga poses. The sculpt, detailed faces and expressive hands make him fun.
S. H. Figuarts Mr. Satan (or Hercule Satan, his name) is a pretty decent figure. His unique design and look make him a standout.
