My return to Uma Musume Pretty Derby made me look back into notable Uma Musume products once again including the ones that I overlooked and turns out I did miss a big one. Oguri Cap being a legendary racehorse of course get really awesome treatment in Uma Musume Pretty Derby and she did become recipient of many merchandise whether PVC Figure or Nendoroid. However back in 2023, she did get SHF by Bandai albeit P-Bandai. Released for July 2023, SHF Oguri Cap was sold for 6500 Yen SRP along with Tamamo Cross who also sold for the same price.
In Uma Musume, Oguri Cap is one of those Uma Musume who possess Immense Main Heroine aura being a goofball glutton in daily life but an overwhelming presence in race. In the main season of Uma Musume, Oguri mainly relegated as supporting character known for her Mukbang antics. But given her popularity both in real-life and Uma Musume, Oguri become the main character in Cinderella Gray which also get anime treatment in 2025.
The SHF rendition of Oguri Cap offers relatively standard accessory for Uma Musume action figure. But a physical action figure for 6500 Yen value for a Legendary Uma Musume is more than enough already. If it were not for P-Bandai treatment, I would have highly likely consider getting Oguri Cap back then despite I had quit Uma JP at the time. Personally I would consider to double dip SHF Oguri along with Tamamo Cross if they both ever got regular re-release, though I wouldn't mind Figma rendition either. Given Uma Musume recent resurgence with its Global Debut, I think it is a great opportunity for Bandai to push Uma Musume merchandise once again considering Japan consumption ability might not be satisfactory with their aging population.
