STAR WARs General

Does it fit your head?

I'm want to buy something star wars related because of the hype but I don't know what. I'm even considering buying a BB-8 funko...

it always annoyed me that toy lightsabers (that come with figures) are always just transluscent colored plastic which never gives them the real look (white with colored borders)

do you think theres a better way to handle it?

i'd think about a white pole with another transluscent, barely colored hull around it.

I have one as well, they are full size and pretty darn screen accurate. I'm 6'1" with a proportionate head and it fits me perfectly. Great replica if you can find one.

>>5362347
how much was it?

>>5362354
I paid $64 for mine and would say it's worth about $50. It's a nice helmet but I could have done without the voice changer in exchange for a more screen accurate look, and it not being in two pieces.

>>5362347
That seals the deal I am hunting one down when I get paid friday, shit looks sick on top of Kylo Ren being one of my favorite characters from anything in a long time.

>>5362355

Is the voice changer integrated or can you detach it somehow?
I ride a bike and as autistic as it sounds I'd like to put it into my actual headgear.

>>5362466
you have to be at least 18 to post here you lateral piece of faggot

>>5362466
If you want it for just the voice changer buy a cheaper mask, it's the same shitty voice changer in every toy version. Anyways, the input is around the mouth, very sensitive actually, it picks up a lot of outside noise and breathing is very amplified, the power source is near the top of the head and the speakers are in between the silver forehead decorations. Taking it apart would destroy the helmet and probably not be worth the time.

>>5362479

u mad

>>5362518

Thanks

>>5362355
I'd say it was worth the price, one of the best prop/toys hasbro has ever made. The battery pack on top and seam aren't optimal but certainly don't ruin the helmet. I'm honestly surprised they didn't make the visor huge like they did for all the previous voice changer helmets they've done

>>5362527
I'd drop money on a regular trooper helmet of the same quality in an instant.

>>5362527
Idk, I guess I've gotten at least $64 of fun with the thing. Building a shelf to put it on alongside my uncle's Vader helmet from back in the day.

anyone who has been to disney land lately try the build your own lightsaber thing?

I wanted to know how nuts you could get.

I wanna get this cute little fucker, but my phone's a clunker and I can't use the app. :(

>>5362865
>Sasuke
Never watched Naruto that whole show is shit.

Found the first order pilot at my local wal mart. they also had the snow trooper. passed on him since I have the TrU one.

>>5363769
Nice, my local stores are being massive faggots with regards to new stock. Nothing beyond wave 2.

>>5363748
Are there any cute alternatives? I wanna put one on my desk.

>>5363822
If you just want a model for your desk there is a bandai kit of BB-8 and R2-D2

>>5363822
The other contenders are Hasbro's $80 one, which is just a remote-control car, essentially, no autonomous roaming. And it takes a whopping six AA batteries (four for the droid, two for the controller).

Then Disney has an $30+ dollar version. It's huge, but it moves around on a wheel located underneath, and not like the actual droid. And it looks like you have to constantly press its button and interact with it to get it to do shit. Pretty much only for kids.

For your desk, I think Funco has a little model, at least.

>>5363748
If it makes you feel any better it's pretty damn small and all of its audio emits form your phone, rather than BB-8 itself. Those were kind of turn offs for me. At least at the current price point. I'd buy it at $80 I think. $150? Nope.

>>5363864
I like the small size, but yeah, the sounds coming from the phone is definitely a turn-off. They were kind of misleading with all the hype.

Also, though it makes a map of your house based on what it runs into, it has no sensors, so it pretty much just runs full-speed and bumps into shit, and wears out after an hour. Kind of like putting your cat on cocaine. I just want a cute little robot that will greet me when I come home.

One day, maybe.

pretty tempted to get bb-8 sphero myself

>>5363923
See above. Despite all that, I'm still tempted, too. I wonder of there's a way to jerry-rig a remote instead of having to use your phone?

>>5363926
I think it would work on my phone. the lack of sounds from the droid is annoying, but it casts about €170 here and I have a €100 voucher so i think id be happy enough

>>5363930
Are you on Android, Apple, or Windows? I went to the Google Play store and found out right away that the app wasn't compatible with my phone. Oughta check that out.

Apparently you can download the app on Windows 10. But I'm not getting Windows 10, Microsoft can suck a dick.

>>5363938
Android. I have the app downloaded but I can only get as far as the connecting to bb8 process. There is an iphone 4s here too that I could use if needed

>>5361820
>Trooper helmet when?
What i would do for a somewhat good looking trooper helmet thats also cheap

>>5363943
Sounds like it'll probably work for you. Have fun.

there are currently 39 star wars threads right now. when will SW general become a sticky thread? I'm sick of these /v/tards shitting up the place.

>>5364166
Go play with your toys

>>5363923
>>5363926
The thing is that the app will be removed some day

How long is this lightsaber? I want a luke skywalker saber from ROTJ, and I have a build your own one I made at Disneyland, but the hilt is inaccurate.

>>5364260
I just want a small BB-8 that doesn't need an app to sync with, and that can run longer than an hour so I can let it roam around and chill all afternoon. That's all I really want. :(

>>5364316
It's definitely cheaper but like I said>>5363856, it seems like you have to constantly interact with it to get it to do stuff, so it's pretty much made for a toddler that wants to sit and push buttons and watch it react. That and the tiny wheel it moves on makes it seem like a pale imitation.

Or do I just have to wait until someone imports them?

picked up the scout trooper & speeder bike today at a local gamestop. they manager of the store was awesome and price matched the website for $19.97. Very pleased.

>Really want this
>Set is almost $400 Aus dollarydoos

Lego Star Wars has gotten really expensive.
I bought two of the smaller sets with the first order and the rebels and I feel ripped off buying them both for $22 each. It's nice they came with four figures each though but both of these should have been $15

>>5361820
i got one of these and it made me sound like a NIGGER

>>5364849
>>5364855
I wish that was me... I paid in the amount of way too much from BBTS. No regrets though he's worth every penny

>>5364934
>>Set is almost $400 Aus dollarydoos
Bloody hell, and I thought the $43 dollerydoo Black Series was bad enough.

>>5364957
you paid $100?!!?!?! Fuck.

>>5365007
Yes i did. I was impatient and my wallet took a hit for it. But really the most i would have saved was 20 bucks as amazon had them on prime for a tiny bit for 80. He's an exclusive and i dint mind paying the premium and i also love shadow troopers. its not the first time i would have done so for the other stuff i collect. IMO totally worth it though thought i would be disappointed but i was not

>>5365019
where were they exclusive? i completely missed these and only saw them in pics on here. Was it the same regular retail price?

>>5365036
Just the shadow trooper. i got the First Order guy for way cheap off of HLJ. The shadow trooper was only sold at a convention in japan a few months ago so he was kinda doubly rare

>>5365036
and yeah when he was sold at the con he was retail but you still needed to have a middleman and shipping so it was pricey no matter what

Should I buy this at my local target for 16 dollars or wait for figuarts? Legit question.

There is also Jabba for 18 worth grabbing?

>>5365085
Figuarts is gonna be pricey and slow to release. Might as well buy it now for cheap and wait for the SHF

>>5365085

Honestly, it's one of the best black series figures in my opinion. You can always get both but $16 is a steal for him.

>>5365085
It's a nice set, and for only 16 goddamned dollars? It'd be worth about that much for the bike alone.

>>5365085
Be warned, that scout trooper will be horribly bow legged. I heated mine up and straightened it and it went right back to its shitty shape

Bandai Scout Trooper is pretty based.

Built LEGO Grevious today that I got for X-Mas... Holy shit this guy is massive, he looks great. Kinda want to get Vader now. Is he any good?

>>5365133
Vader is good. His torso is nice and intricate if you appreciate Technic builds, the helmet is superb, and he has a good range of motion.

>>5365085
I just got one for $19.97 at gamestop and i think it's great. $16 is even better. My local targets never have anything black series

Aaand I just caved and got the SHF First Order Stormtrooper.

$71 through amazon, -$50 I had from giftcards, so $21 to me.

And now I wait for my first SHF to arrive.

anyone have a comparison of the figuarts vs mafex vader? or can anyone tell me some pros and cons of each?

It's the number of pieces and amount of plastic that has the prices the way they are.

Nah, the sculptors usually don't mind, since their sculpt is still shown in all its glory.
What they do mind is the fact so many people equating sculpt = paint

Also, Hasbro = Hot Toys of 6"... in sculpting.

Hasbro needs to sell 2 versions of the figures. One mass produced version so kids & plebs buy the figures & an online only version with real paint for like 35 or 40 bucks.

>>5366709

It would still have the relatively limited articulation, though. If you're paying the $40 or so, you migh as well be going for the better paint AND articulation that a Figuarts/Mafex/Revoltech brings.

Can someome post that picture of figuarts ren in the black series cloak?

>>5363923

Bought it for my dad and he fucking loves it. It's pretty cool, overpriced but worth it imo

>>5366709
Yeah you might as well get the better articulation, accessories and paint with the Japanese brands.

Who else getting model kit Phasma? Looks like the best version in my opinion

>>5366944

How's model kit Threepio for that matter? I have a black series R2 and need a Threepio to go along.

>>5366950
I don't have it but it looks pretty good, much better than what Hasbro will be offering, and cheaper than the figuarts I imagine and I don't think the figuarts looks much better

Stopped by toys r us. Was going to pick up the BB8 sphere but it was sold out. Also forgot to pick up the Poe Disney infinity toy.

These custom painted faces are definitely miniatures paint, probably Vallejo like the anon said.

It is *absolutely* a thinurpaintz situation. It's a guy who clearly has done portrait painting (probably in oil based on his style). He overdoes it quite a lot with the green on the jaws and the red "crying eyes" but I am looking at photos and they are 1" tall faces and in person they probably look exactly right with that degree of exaggeration.

It's standard miniatures gamers paint and paintjobs just done exceptionally well and on unexpected figures. Better than more fucking space marines.

Does anyone know the release date for the Figuarts Grievous and/or where I can preorder?

>>5367404
Its not up for PO yet its just a prototype.

Would anyone be interested in some photos/a video of what a typical Japanese toys r us Star Wars stock looks like? I plan on going back when they open tomorrow.

>>5367463
Not that Anon, but I saw some Rangers Figuarts back in about....2012? 2011? at TRU. Sometime like that.
I think the issue is more of a Hasbro thing.

>>5366567
It's a custom, it's one of the Knights of Ren from the flashback, he needs a bigger axe.

>>5365247
I guess the factory uses the Maximum Retarder instead of medium

>>5367819
Yup, it's in prototype stage tho. Pics exist of it.

What happened to the BS emporor's wrath Vader? I thought he was supposed to release in December. I know he popped up on their website about a 2 months ago but damn they couldn't have sold out completely.

>>5368358
His official release is February. What happened was they set some aside for a promotion, and drugstore.com accidentally released them early.

>>5368286

If you're careful and autistic about it, you can do it today as long as you inform yourself on proper painting techniques and paints to use.

It's not hard, but there's a lot of things you learn through trial and error. Most guides are incomplete or teach totally awful techniques, so even if you're well informed you can be led down a retarded path without knowing it.
Best guides usually come from /tg/-type mini modelers, since they know you need to thin your paints and how to spray your models, and proper thinning and spray techniques accounts for 50% of making your figure look great.
Larger scale modelers can be lax on that, which can fuck up little details even on larger scale figures.

>>5370746

It's a floppy piece of shit. Avoid, like all the Elite shit.

>>5370746

Yeah, the Elite figures aren't great. I have a couple. They just don't really have much in the way of articulation. Also, the scaling seems really odd from figure to figure.

I mean, they're OK if you're just getting them as statues that you can move the arms a little bit or something, but cool, posable, decently articulated figures they are not.

>>5370746
I have him. I've never taken him out the box so I don'the know how floppy he is. He looks good in the box though.

Just got a TRU e-mail, SW Micro Machines are 2 for one Friday and Saturday. I'm thinking of getting a bunch of the blind bagged ones but i can't seem to find a cheat sheet, any ideas or are the bags easy to ID by feel?

>>5370945
fairly easy, I got all the ones I wanted from S1 and so far all the ones I want from S2 without getting doubles. All of them are in little plastic trays, but you can still feel certain features of the ships that give away what it is like the Snowspeeder's cockpit, the nose of the X-Wing, The Naboo Starfighter's tail, etc. TIE fighters are the easiest to find since they look really bulky compared to all the others

where the fuck do you live? I still haven't seen anything but Finn and Chewie since Force Friday

>>5371036

Not that guy, but I saw one Kylo on Force Friday, and then never saw one again until right around when the movie came out, when I saw two tucked away at a Walgreens. I passed on him, but I saw the movie on Christmas Eve and decided to buy one. Checked out that Walgreens, and there was still one chilling there, so I got him.

Never saw another one anywhere else.

>>5371043
Huh. I saw two at a kmart the weekend after force friday, then on that monday decided to grab him and there happened to be one left. I also have not seen him since.

>>5371048

I don't think any of the stores have really restocked in weeks, though. I haven't seen anything but Finns at Target, Walmart, etc. I don't even have a K-Mart around anymore.

I still haven't even gotten one of those damn Walmart Battlefront Shocktroopers. There is only one Walmart near me and it always has tons of traffic.

>>5371067
My local target happened to get the phasma wave the day I went in so I was able to grab her and the guavian enforcer. I also wish you had noticed the few posts I made ~week ago. Walmart had the shocktroopers on their website for 19 bucks for a a good while for a few days. I grabbed two then.

>>5373853

Totally different joint systems, though.

>>5373853
Why not just find a Black Series trooper?

>>5373871

He probably wants actual articulation.

Also, maybe I'm wrong, as I don't have Finn, but I remember seeing somewhere that Finn's head doesn't fit on the BS series FO trooper anyway.

Guess they wanted to make sure you'd buy that actual FO Finn...

>>5373877

>>5371744

>>5365504

>>5362872

I don't think we're getting anything worth a damn in the Black Series anymore. Hasbro doesn't want to keep the line going, so we'll get "main characters" and then every thing else will be shitty 5poa. Least amount of effort on their part.

>>5373016
Same. I saw Poe like twice, and a couple of Troopers at GameStop.

The Constable guy is now shelfwarming more than anyone else. Was he even in the movie? At least I could see Phasma and the Guavian Enforcer in the film. What a waste of a figure, you'd think Hasbro would know that would make a shitty shelfwarmer.

>>5373944
>you'd think Hasbro would know that would make a shitty shelfwarmer
If there's one thing we've learned from Black Series, it's that they really don't have a clue.

he was almost in the movie, but then zuvio got cut to make room for rey to not need to be saved.

>>5373888

>>5366709
Even if they did that, they'd still probably be made out of that fuckawful soft plastic. I hate that gummy stuff they use for the joints, most of the time they're warped straight out of the box as a result.

They could and should be doing so much better. Then again, I don't think it's entirely their fault, big box retail in America has literally ruined everything, with Wal-Mart and co being able to dictate what price points things should be at or they won't stock them.

My new Black Series FO Stormtrooper has a lot of black paint missing on the helmet, what's the best way to fix it? Permanent black marker? Can't be bothered to return it for another one.

Woke up a bit early this morning so I decided to check walmart not really expecting to find anything but still hoping. Came across the entire new series of buildables but was only interested in kylo and phasma. These really do suit armored characters better than rey finn and poe and I think kylo would have been a bit better if all the pieces were matte like the helmet but I'm still happy with it. Phasma looks really great imo. Picked up their last grievous too because people here said it was a pretty good set and vader too just because. No 3.75 or 6 black series to be seen though

>>5373871
>>5373877
Doing it for the articulation, yeah. And it doesn't have to actually fit on the peg, I'm just needing it to rest there and not look giraffe necked or no-necked. I've used a couple marvel legends unmasked heads on it with blu-tack and some work really well for unhelmeted stormies, while others just look stupid due to how deep the socket is.

I guess you could go over that with a sharpie. I'd personally use a little bit of model paint, however, since I've heard sharpie can get sticky on plastic.

>>5374560

These fuckers are really hit or miss for paint.

Most of them either look really bad, or relatively decent.

Many are the former. I'd like to build an "official" 10-man squad of these guys, and I've probably found enough to do so, but I only actually have three of them because the paint generally looks so bad.

Then again, there are other, non-paint related problems that two of mine have that I couldn't notice until I got them out of package...

I finally dropped the knife and got him (her).

No regrets.

Have the Boba and he is glorious. As another anon said not worth the 90 USD for the most part so just watch out on Amiami and see when things go up for preorder. They've announced a few more troopers and jango so they should be up sometime soon.

>>5373059
Honestly I'd prefer SHF grievous

>>5375291
Well luckily he's already announced

Got a case in at work today, but it was a mixture of wave 1 and 2, only new figure being one resistance trooper. Was hoping for jango, but no such luck.

There are a lot of options, you can go pretty nuts. I wouldn't count on making an 8-blade lightsaber or anything but you can still have fun with it.

>>5367577
Exactly what board do you think you're on

Not really 'announced', just shown at a convention.

went to thee walmarts, the first two had two full cases of wave three, grabbed a 1 tie pilot and 1 resitance trooper. the third store had two cases of wave three and two cases of wave four. my buddy and i both grabbed hux, i took the alien x-wing guy and he took the snowtrooper.

it's amazing finding what you want in one trip.

You can take it apart my buddy did.

I love the Boba Fett figure and I can't wait for Jango.

Offered the guy $35 and was surprised that he actually accepted, I'll post pics when I get it.

Ended up paying €60 for it with shipping, I can always flip that for more in my country if I don't like it.

is the 100 price mark justifiable for it?

>>5362856
is that in disneyland (France) or disneyworld (USA)?

Why are the standard voice changer helmets these days all half Helm instead of full?
Remember the Darth Vader, Optimus Prim and Bumble Bee VC Helmets were all full.

Black series one is too iirc?

>>5379492
but that shit's pricey, usually the VC's are like 40-50 but with them being half helm now it doesn't seem worth it and means I don't want them on display

>>5379453
We have a bunch of the full helm ones from SW and a few other things (Marvel, Transformers) on top of our cabinets in the kitchen. The wife and I are super bummed that we haven't had any more good full helm ones in a while.

And the black series helmet is awesome - but expensive as fuck.

To be fair, most of ours are lucky Good Will finds. Still pissed that they had a Boba Fett, but only missing the back half.
