figma Karen Araragi

figma Karen Araragi is the latest of my figures collection. She is from the anime

Nisemonogatari, which is a sequel to one my my favourites, Bakemonogatari.

Karen and her younger sister, Tsukihi are nicknamed as Fire Sisters. She only

appeared briefly in Bakemonogatari but is the heroine in the Karen Bee arc.

 

Karen does not have much to show in the accessories department. She

comes with extra feet with socks, a head with short haired and the special

effects for her attack. Apart from the usual hands, we have two pair of

holding hands.

 

 

Karen is an energetic girl. She constantly put herself in trainings and

exercises. We can see here she is practising her punching in a dojo :)

 

 

Karen Kick!

 

 

We all knew that Karen is the younger sister of Koyomi Araragi, the hero

of Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari. Karen is the taller one and this

annoys Araragi. (Actually both figmas have the same height)

 

 

Karen is a hot-blooded girl that often act before she thinks. She sees

herself as a hero of justice. (Revoltech Skeleton Army has to play the

bad guy again...)

 

 

This personality finally gets her into trouble. Karen found out that a man

named Deishuu Kaiki is using fake charms in scamming students for

money. She tracked him down and faced him alone. Unfortunately, Karen

was defeated and inflicted with the curse of a flame-wreath bee. (Had to

use figma Kiritsugu since no way they will release figma Kaiki)

 

 

Araragi was very worry after he learned about Karen's involvement

with the supernatural. However, Karen refused the help of her brother

and both of them fought due to that. Yup that is the special effects of

Karen's bone-breaking attack. Must be painful...

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the famous siblings toothbrushing scene

in Nisemonogatari^^ Want to know what happened? Find out more in

the anime or novels. Notice Karen is wearing socks instead of shoes.

 

 

Also wanted to recreate this scene where Karen carried Araragi on

her shoulder while making their way to Kanbaru's house :) This is also

the time when Karen started to appear short haired.

 

 

Karen's body can be a good fit for other figma girls, such as the

sporty Mato and the equally energetic Subaru.

 

 

Ok these holding hands are meant for the two Fire Sisters but Tsukihi

is not released yet. We will have Hanekawa to stand in for now...

 

 

Overall, Karen is a fine figure with no issues. She is gladly welcomed by

the rest of the Bakemonogatari figmas. Will be fun when we get Tsukihi

to join the group :)
