The quality in this figure is really good, the painting and the sculpt is amazing, specially in the sand effect which has a soft texture.

This Gaara figure is probably the best one you can get before you get into absurd prices. The sand looks really good in person and there is a lot of detail on his gourd. I think the pose is pretty unique and allowed me to place him in the front row of one of my naruto shelves with another figure having good visibility behind him. I think almost all of the Megahouse G.E.M line for naruto are great but this is among the best in my opinion. My only negative would be his base, it's a black circle with some orange writing on it and his gourd symbol, it's just very basic but not too hard to deal with.
When i got this figure it was £112 GBP and i was really happy with the value for that price.
