Revoltech Hokuto no Ken #12 Thouther

Its been a while I have not write anything regarding my Revoltech collection. So here you go, an entry for Revoltech Thouther.

Thouther is the user of the free-form Nanto Ho-ouh Ken (South Dipper Phoenix Fist), the most powerful form of Nanto Seiken. He was an orphan who was raised by the previous Ho-ouh Ken successor, Ohgai who treated him as his own flesh and blood. During his final training session, Thouther unwillingly killed his sensei, who intentionally allowed himself to be killed by Thouther (for the there can be only 1 successor). Traumatized by the event, Thouther disavowed all feelings of love and compassion. After the Nuclear War, he takes on the title of Holy Emperor (Seitei) and enslaves children with his army in order to construct the Holy Cross Mausoleum. And he is the man who stand against Raoh's total domination. Kenshiro challenges Thouther, but his Hokuto Shinken techniques proves to be ineffective against him and is brutally defeated and captured. Kenshiro escapes and challenges Thouther again. This time, he learns the secret of Thouther's immunity (he has dextrocardia, affecting the locations of his pressure points), and is able to defeat him. Thouther uses his last breaths to reconcile with his emotions. (Quote: Wiki)


Out-of-the-box content of the figure.



Front view of the figure. I like the face sculpt a lot.



Rear view of the figure.



Thouther comes with a mask so you can have him wear it or hold it in his hand. The mask was sculpted in a way that it fits nicely on the face of the figure.


Thouther with spear.


Thouther with spear and mask. I love this pose.



Thouther is one cocky character.



Time for some action!


Time to die Sho!!! (You need to refer to the anime/manga to understand this.)



Nanto Ho-ouh Ken no Oogi! Tenshō Jūji Hō (Heaven-Soaring Cross Phoenix)!!!

Thouther is a memorable character and this figure did it justice but once again, it can use some extra accessories such as a cloak or another cannon fodder. I will be a very happy if Kaiyodo can even include a naked torso for the final battle between Kenshiro and Thouther.

Taiwan Trip Part 4

Day 3 (27th March 2010)

I am getting used to the weather here. It’s a bit cold but that is how I like it. We started the day with a prayer session followed by a discussion on the topic of COV. The schedule was not that tight for it is Sabbath. We adjourned for Sabbath service after the discussion and resume our symposium in the evening.
Later that night, I managed to sneak out with brothers and sisters to the little night market situated behind the church building. Saying that it’s a night market would be an understatement. Besides lots and lots of food stall, there are also fun booths such as an airgun shooting range, toss-a-ring, turtle/goldfish scooping and etc. It is somewhere in between a night market and a funfair. This reminds me of those Japanese festivals shown in anime. The only thing missing are those Yukata and Japanese chicks. :P
We had our supper earlier but we were tempted to try some of the food that was offered there. We decide to taste out the sausage store in the market. The sausage was grilled with charcoal and it was topped with pickled vegetables. It was surprisingly simple but it is actually quite delicious.

Day 4 (28th March 2010)

Sunday and it is the last day of the symposium. We ended the day with another few bouts of discussion and a closing ceremony. We have a clearer view of what we are going to do ahead of us in this Internet Ministry Programme. And as for me, I get to know a lot of people from all around the world. This trip is definitely an eye opener for me.
I joined a group of brothers and sisters that night to go food-hunting near the area. We managed to get ourselves some tasty smelly toufu and pig intestine noodles (they sound disgusting don’t they?).
That is all for day 3 and 4. Stick around for my next update.

Day 5 (29th March 2010)

Wake up early in the morning to go sightseeing in Taichung with a few brothers. We managed to visit this park at the top of a hill. There are some familiar tree species there. I say it’s a well managed park. I wonder why we cant have something similar to that in Malaysia.
Sent Brother Wong, Brother Xin Jian and Deacon Tsai to Taoyuan with Brother Chang later that night. Managed to join fellow believers from Taoyuan for a tea session before traveling back to Taichung with Brother Chang. I have this feeling that I am causing a lot of trouble for the others.
