Insect Swarm Shino Aburame

Insect Swarm/Insect Attack Shino Aburame was a figure released in 2006 from the Mattel Naruto line. While the rest of the line is mediocre (apart from Nine-Tailed Fox Attack Naruto and Orochimaru), this figure has been hated by Naruto fans and kids alike.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Unlike most of the figures in the line which have 12 points of articulation, Shino has only 6 points of articulation. not only that but it is very limited.
 * 2) The "action feature" is the worst out of the entire line. the only thing it does is that the insects narrow, which is very lame.
 * 3) The "Insects" barely even look like insects at all, Instead, they look like someone took a black textured piece of rubber and cut it into a weird shape.
 * 4) The black on the arm from the insects look awful. If you remove the insects, it still looks bad.
 * 5) Unlike most of the other figures in the line (apart from fireball jutsu Sasuke, nine tailed fox attack Naruto, Rasengan Attack Jiraiya, Slash Attack Orochimaru and Bone Drill Kimimaro), he is standing in a action pose which looks off next to the other figures, as the other figures are standing in a normal pose.
 * 6) The figure was prone to breaking at the waist.
 * 7) False Advertising: the figure comes in the same box as the articulated Naruto figures, which can trick fans, kids and parents into thinking they are getting an articulated Shino figure.
 * 8) Despite the box calling it a "action figure", the figure is more like a statue.
 * 9) At launch, the figure costed $6, which is the same price as the other (and better) figures in the line, which feels like a ripoff.

Good Qualities

 * 1) If they made Shino an fully articulated figure and have the bugs be a seperate part and launch out instead of narrow, it could've been a decent figure.
 * 2) The head sculpt is really nice.
 * 3) The insects on his right arm are removable.
 * He, along with Sand Attack Gaara, Rock Lee and nine-tailed Naruto, are the cheapest out of all the Mattel Naruto figures nowadays.
 * 1) This is the closest thing to an articulated Shino figure.
 * 2) At least he isn't as bad as Nine-Tailed Fox Attack Naruto Uzumaki and the Orochimaru figure.
