Time to review Tatsumaki's younger sister, Fubuki or Hellish Blizzard. She's a B-class Rank 1 hero that have her own faction of heroes, in the anime/manga series, One Punch Man. This is a Banpresto Espresto shapely figure.
"I can do something heroic and have them in my debt.
Two birds with one stone."

THE FIGURE
Figure front view |
This figure looks nice, but it looks a bit small.
Figure back view |
To me, the raised arms gives an impression or optical illusion that this figure is taller.
Figure left view |
This figure is almost 9 inches in length.
Figure right view |
One Punch Man figures are really limited. This is true for Fubuki. As far as I know, this Espresto figure is her only legit figure. Also this figure is popular. I had a bit difficult time buying her.
Fubuki is really pretty. |
She's got a nice pretty face. The eyes and lips are nicely painted. The skin tone is good but a little pale and no shadings.
Fubuki's back |
Fubuki's black hair is nicely sculpted but it doesn't have any highlights.
Nice necklace |
She's wearing a necklace that have a lot of pearls or just white beads. But I've seen Fubuki in the series wearing luxurious clothing and have a limo so it must be a pearl necklace.
Fubuki's dark green dress. |
Fubuki is wearing a long one piece dress. The dress is dark olive green and have some shadings. The dress is form-fitting, showing her nice curves, it also have some wrinkles for detail. I really don't like the obvious line around her waist. Looks like another piece of the figure that's just glued with the lower part of the figure.
A closer look at Fubuki's backside. |
The back show more of Fubuki's curves.
Long flowing dress. |
The lower part of the dress looks good. It looks like it's in rotating motion. You can't peek underneath the dress because the dress tightly covers it. But I can feel the top end of the boots and the legs. So yeah I believe that the legs and possibly the undies underneath of the dress are sculpted as well.
A peek of Fubuki's boots |
The back view of the lower part of the dress shows a little bit of Fubuki's long boots.
Fubuki's boots |
Fubuki is wearing a long black heeled boots. It just black with few wrinkles at the knee and ankle area.
Here's more photos of Fubuki's Espresto figure.
I mentioned earlier that Fubuki is popular. I forgot to say that she's even popular than her older sister. She's more popular because she's way more hotter and mature-looking than Tatsumaki. Well both have their own fanbases.
She even have a lot of B-class heroes underlings in her "Blizzard Bunch" faction in the anime/manga.
Now on her pose. It looks like she's about to cast a powerful psychic attack.
Her psychic power is really weak compared to Tatsumaki.
But she's powerful enough that she can easily be an A-class hero. The only thing that holds her back is her inferiority complex with her sister and Amai Mask.
This figure looks good everywhere it's displayed.
SCALING
Here's the Espresto Fubuki figure next to Espresto Tatsumaki figure.
The Psychic Sisters |
Yes, Fubuki is still taller than Tatsumaki but I wish this figure is around 10 inches to make the scaling between these two to be more accurate.
QUALITY ISSUES
This figure doesn't have any quality issues. I only have a minor gripe, like the obvious line on her waist, suggesting that the torso is a separate piece that just glued on the lower part of the figure.
CONCLUSION
Fubuki's Banpresto Espresto figure looks great. I like the pose and this figure looks good everywhere when displayed. It's even better if you have Tatsumaki beside her. This figure is really cheap but a bit more expensive because of its popularity. It also get out of stock quickly. I got this online for $15.00 (approx Php.870.00) shipping included. I recommend that you get this Fubuki figure, especially if you're a fan of the One Punch Man anime/manga series. Because this is the only legit, branded Fubuki figure out there, as far as I know.
I made a photo edit of Fubuki.
She's unleashing a powerful wind psychic attack.
Cheers and Happy Collecting!
