I actually have this unexplainable weakness for all things Kirby. There's just something so pure and innocent about his design, and truthfully, unless you screw it up royally, it's pretty hard to get a bad Character Good of the guy.
A few years back, the Nendoroid line introduced Kirby into it's lineup. There's been several releases in the line, including at least 3 different Kirby, a special Kirby with his Robobattle suit, a Waddle Dee, a Metaknight, and a King Dedede.
I've got maybe half of these, with the Robobattle set being the highlight.
So for the 30th Anniversary of the franchise, there was a special Nendoroid release of the base Kirtby with a special base, and different faces/accessories. Technically the Star Wand has made an appearance in the first set, but this one is coated with glitter, so there!
Like pretty much all other Nendoroids, Kirby requires his base to stand and pose. What makes this line of Nendoroids unique is that the body is basically one giant metal shell, and the limbs are magnets. So basically you can pose the arms and feet anywhere you want on the body. Like with the Windwaker Link, it was like the Nendoroid line was created just so a product like this could exist.. everything just works out so well.
Of the new expressions, it's hard to pick an absolute favourite, though it is nice admittedly nice to finally get a classic Kirby face into the mix. But in terms of sheer comedic value, you gotta give it to the the surprised face. It's really odd that this Kirby dfidn't come with an inhaling face, but I guess if they did that they wouldn't have included the dizzy face, or they'd have had to increase the price. Understandable, but unfortunate you'd have to own the first release to get that face when this is a special anniversary set.
