I’ll venture to say that not many people in the United States are familiar with Sergeant Frog (known as Keroro Gunso in Japan).
He’s a charming ego-maniac sent to planet Earth with the task of enslaving humankind in the service of some sort of alien frog species. Of course, he humorously mucks it all up. What follows are a series of misadventures that are downright ridiculous yet hilarious. The animated show loses some references in the translation from Japanese to English but if you’re reading this, you want to know more about the action figure!
The size is larger than your average Star Wars action figure, colors are true to the online description and the multitude of alternate hands, arms and accessories make this a must buy for a Sgt. Frog aficionado! We were able to pose him in different scenarios, alternating between completing his chores and attempting to rebel against the Man with his awesome blaster.
If you’re considering this for a fan, you can’t go wrong. They’ll love you big time and may even show the appreciation by doing some housework in return. I would just warn against gifting this to anyone younger than 10 as the parts snap into place but are definitely moveable. They may become annoyed if the figure is being tossed willy nilly and comes apart at the points of articulation.
Pricing-wise I’ve seen this item fluctuate between $20 and $50. Twenty bucks is completely doable while $50 well, that’s a lotta love for one plastic frog. You’ll have to ask yourself how much you need this versus how much you want it. I mean, for fifty clams, they should toss in a couple more accessories like a Kero ball and a replaceable head (Combat Afro). :)
I love this Keroro Gunso figure! He is so cute and a good size. He may seem small but he has a big personality. He comes with a lot of different props to give him a unique look no matter what.
The only thing is is that he was very hard to assemble and only comes with one face. On the box he has several different expressions so it would be good to have maybe one more than the one he comes with? Can't wait to get the rest of them!
