FREDDIE NO
Debating on pre-ordering Han. Do you think he's going to sky rocket in price after his release like RotJ Luke or chill with a decent price for a long time like Obi Wan?
>>6146104
It won't skyrocket, none have since Luke's release. They produce far more of them now.
UK, someone tell me how ordering through Amazon works for Figurarts- Ie. Importing.
Tax and duty/customs.
>>6146131
Why do you lay these troubles on your already troubled mind?
>>6145961
Don't worry, he's into it.
>>6146174
Mmm, me too
>>6145927
This is the second consecutive time. I think OP has unofficially passed the torch to you.
>>6145927
where do I get Freddie and how much will it cost me?
>>6146221
Amazon, $45
http://tamashii.jp/special/macross/walkure/
>>6146816
mah fuckin nigga
my first, only, and one true waifu is far overdue for an actual modern articulated figure
Would it be realistic to expect some news on future TMNT figures come Toy Fair? If nothing else, a possible Shredder release date and/or finalized piece?
>>6146131
Why would you import through Amazon. Depending on the seller you can pay the fee up front, it'll show you the fee before you confirm the order. I know if Amazon is the seller they'll definitely make you pay it up front. Most sellers don't make you though.
>>6146227
thank you!
Dates are up for non-web February releases. Han Solo, Manga Realization Iron Man, and Suicide Squad Joker are all up for Feb 24th. The Kinikuman stuff is on the 10th, and the Pikachu re-issue is also on the 10th.
http://www.tamashii.jp/item_schedule/201702/
>>6146816
Seriously, I don't give a fuck about this Love Live crossover bullshit
>remember I should throw a R1 stormtrooper in my hlj order
>sold out
Fuck me, I should have known better considering how fast the shoretroopers went. I'm gonna have to eat shipping on it from another store now.
>>6148037
Damn I was thinking about that too
>>6146131
You order it and it gets sent to you. If you are lucky it arrives at your door. If not, you have to give the nice Royal Mail people some of your queen coins.
>>6148037
If it makes you feel any better it has effectively a single jointed elbow. But it also has three different weapons and owns bones in general.
>>6148163
Yeah hearing that is what scared me off him in the first place, having double elbows is basically what's sold me on most of the star wars figuarts. Everything else about him looks great though, which is why I'm caving.
http://tamashii.jp/heroine_blog/aikatsu/
Am I the only one who'd love Susumu Hirasawa in the Figuarts music line? Quite aside from anything else, it could come with his spinning wheel synthesizer...thing.
Was the Char Figuarts cancelled?
>>6148937
Oh fuck yes i 100% agree with this.
http://nov.2chan.net/y/res/3628674.htm
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51997849.html
Any reviews on the new Sailor Moon yet?
So I got the Bruce rerelease ordered. What am I in for? Vangelus' review got me hyped but one point stuck out: is there any easy way to modify the nunchuks temporarily to make the chain static? Would've been coolnif they'd included an 'in action' piece.
>>6150405
I've never thought of it, but my first thought would be to weave a thin metal wire like a bread tie through the links. That chain is small as fuck though, so I don't know how it'd look.
>>6150414
Yeah something like that.
I also thought of using some kind of transparent wrapping but of course that would be fidgety as hell and you would be able to see it anyways...
Post favorite figuarts
>>6148732
> Rola
Oh, fuck me.
How was the Figuarts deathtrooper? I can't decide if I want to get that, Mafex, or both.
>>6148732
They must be selling well considering we're getting so many.
>>6150599
>>6150599
Right now it's this guy.
>>6150599
I only have one Figuarts (Sailor Moon) so I guess it's her. She's pretty great though, articulation is crazy and she's super cute. I had a few paint errors but nothing awful.
Speaking of which, which Senshi should I buy next? I've only seen the first season/Dark Kingdom arc so far so I'd rather stick to characters from that arc (I'm further ahead in the manga mind you). Jupiter is my favourite, so I'm thinking her.

>>6150272
>anime version
No thanks
http://nov.2chan.net/y/res/3629498.htm
>>6151285
Did Bandai swipe talent from max factory recently? Bandai has been aces with faces lately and max factory keeps screwing the pooch.
>>6151509
yeah it seems that way, but im not complaining.
>>6150599
Rogue one stormtrooper , my only other one is injustice batman
>>6150599
>>6150599
>>6151890

>>6151890
Definitely my favorite Figuarts ATM. Lots of fun to pose and mess around with.
>>6150272
>feet and chest are molded in slightly different hues
how does that even happen?
he was so close to being a solid 9/10 too. still going to get him for sure though
>>6150599
I wanna change my answer from this >>6150936 to pic related
I know this is the non toku figuarts general, but the last few releases I picked up really made me wish that Bandai put as much effort into regular figuarts as they did toku shit
Anything on Sailor Moon Crystal version yet?
>>6152105
God, I wish I'd been into imports when these were out. Hearing people talk about walking into barnes and noble and just buying them made me legit jelly.
>>6152195
I only pick up the occasional rider, but yeah, they obviously have the a-team working on them. A whole lot of marvel and star wars stuff recently felt phoned in. One shots like Bruce and Freddie seem to go the extra mile too, though.
>>6152217
I lucked out.
I found most of them in the wild two years ago at three comic book stores in Houston and they were still retail price.
I had to buy Yellow from BBTS and got scalped $100 for Green from someone online.
>>6152587
I got all mine on release, except for white I heard it had some qc issues and I didn't care too much for it anyway.
>>6152617
You seem like a ranger fan , is there a figuart or comparable shadow ranger figure ?
>>6152768
I'm not super into rangers just the mmpr I grew up with so I have no idea.
>>6152781
Thanks for the quick response, yeah besides mighty morphing, I only watched spd.
>>6152617
Shame about the QC on the white one as it had a really nice pearl finish on the white.
>>6152199
It's already out atleast on our country(Failippines). Haven't seen a 2ch thread yet but pics are avilable at twitter if you search for it.
>Poll/Survey/Questionnaire for SF characters still not up
I wonder when they'll put it up online since Toy Fair is next month and Bandai/Tamashii usually shows new prototypes there.
I found a VoD of Capcom Tv showcasing the S.H. Figuarts Ryu and Chun Li, was slightly dissapointed that the host only played with Ryu but atleast from what I have seen, Ryu has soft plastic for his gi.
videos/108896723?t=01h05m56s
Go to twitch website and append the link on the address bar to watch it.
What are the chances of getting any Dragon Quest stuff? I would think it would be a given considering its popularity in Jap land
>>6152793
no, there is no decent Dekamaster figure on the market currently
>>6152905
Dragon Quest is owned by Square Enix so only Play Arts Kai
will be available if they ever make one like what they did years ago under the non Kai brand.
>>6152921
Ah that sucks. A figuarts line would have been great considering how well they have translated dragon ball stuff.
>>6145927
I was surprised to see Sailor Moon, Mario, and DBZ Figuarts at my local Toys R Us yesterday.
Anyone else see them in their area?
>>6152974
Down here in Florida they've had them for about two months . They got them just in time for Xmas
>>6152974
really? how much were they?
Hey, can somebody with a shoretrooper pop the torso apart? I thought the forward bend on mine was weak, so i compared it to the hinge on the first order one, and it's backwards. It's riveted so even if it is there's not much I can do about it, but I'd like to know at least.
>>6152974
Lol, that Sailor V is a custom.
http://xuweisen.deviantart.com/art/Sailor-V-S-H-Figuarts-SHF-496911056
>>6150752
They're not. The four standard releases are shelfwarming hard. Mandarake has them for like 1500 yen. They're cheap for Bandai to churn out because they only need to sculpt one body and then they can resell it as many times as they want with new heads.
>>6152793
> besides mighty morphing, I only watched spd.
Now THAT's the line I missed out on, except Red here.
>>6153087
Oh, that's funny. I just sort of quickly grabbed a shot from google images.
>>6153030
The Mario ones were around 35 dollars, didn't check the DBZ or SM ones though
>>6153031
Mine's like that too.
>>6153141
Well it has an Entertainment Earth watermark on it, which is a wholesale retailer who should be using only official images. Just thought it was funny.
>>6153321
Huh, alright then. I'm not sure why they'd do that then, the ab crunch on the FO was one of it's best features.
>>6152974
B&N have had a distributing deal with Bluefin for a while now, but they're fucking slow on getting new stuff. I've been waiting for Raphael to reach my area forever. Their biweekly 30% off membership discounts are great, though. Just wish they had more stuff.
Is it just me or has mandarake been light on stocking figuarts lately? They had tons of marvel and star wars stuff this time last year, but I can't even get one of the new Bruce Lees now
>>6153109
>Ranger Figuarts are dead
wtf I wanted In Space.
>>6152199
Why is the new Ichigo so based lads?
>>6153385
>Their biweekly 30% off membership discounts are great
Details? I've been a member for like a decade and didn't even know about this
>>6153926
Don't let your dreams be dreams
>>6154130
>>6152807
Why does the figures have something written on their chests and why does Ryu's gloves missing the Furinkazan symbols, is it because of being a prototype?
>>6152921
What
Bandai already made DQ figures in 2012. Sure they were shit and got canned because they didn't sell, but it's nothing to do with SE
>>6152921
>>That DQ line
Back when Play Arts were good looking and like $20.
>>6154243
nah, they are the ultimate ultra hyper special edition alpha.
>>6154265
In that case, a line based on DQ3 could do pretty well. If hentai is any indication of popularity at least.
Got my shipping notification Friday.
It's so close it hurts, guys...
>>6155378
her legs look like peanut shells.
>>6154265
Maybe you know something that I don't, but all I'm seeing are Square Enix logos on the packaging. Nothing Bandai at all.
>>6155384
and? you don't like peanuts?
>>6155423
Not the other anon, but I'd heard this was a Bandai production for Square Enix. I have absolutely no idea if this is true, but I suspect that's what he's thinking of.
>>6154265
Nigga what
http://www.dragonquest.jp/25th/goods/39
>>6155431
Unless SQEX Toys was secretly Bandai in 2012, I doubt it.
>>6151894
Jesus look at all those accessories. Will we ever get a figure again with that many accessories and not at a ridiculous price?
>>6155378
Nobody cares about your retarded purchases, fag
>>6155378
youre bound to get a botched figure. the face printing looks good but they suck at applying it correctly
Any news on the diablomon figuarts zero?
>>6155767
It's cute that you think it's coming out. That's about the only news.
>>6155778
Why would they announce it, when it was initally announced as a D-arts like 4 years prior to it and they never covered it again?
If they never intended to release it, why not just leave the d-arts version in limbo?
Got my SHF Stark in and I fucking love it. Only one problem - the hinge on one of his armored hands is SUPER loose. It just flops right open. Any way to fix this?

Amen, brother!
>>6156813
Picked Mika. We need a good booty.
>>6156813
FUCK
I wanted to vote for bison, but I voted for Vega because their names were switched. GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
>>6157052
Ah well. I opened another window and was able to re-do it. I they can both have a vote I guess.
>>6157052
Don't you mean Balrog?
>>6157051
yeah, fuck the anime girls, we want anime boys.
>>6157055
Ho yea, you're right.
Ah well, they both get votes.
BTW, pro tip: if you sign in with a different google account, you can trick the system into voting twice.
>>6157061
No, we want characters that people actually give a shit about outside Japan.
Sonic the Hedgehog, Cowboy Bebop, More TMNT, shit like that.
>>6157066
>Cowboy Bebop
>anime
What stand would you guys recommend for S.H. Lelouch? His cape obscures his back and I'm finding difficulty supporting him.
>>6157074
I didn't say I didn't like anime, I just don't like all this idol crap.
If you like it, then good for you I guess.
>>6157066
>wah why is this Japanese company not making shit just for me across the ocean
>>6157081
Don't reply to Red, just filter him.
>>6157081
Eh, I guess I'm overacting a bit.
>>6157078
mmm... no, not really, just I didn't understand what was your point.
In anime I hoping for 90's stuffs like Rurouni Kenshin, Slayes or (in a weird way) Slam Dunk.
What about more western movies figures? I dream with a endoskeleton (preferably chogokin) or TMNT movie ver. (90's not Bayshit).
>>6157066
>Sonic the Hedgehog
How the hell would that even work? The limbs would be fragile as fuck, and having completely straight limbs with one bend right in the middle would look off for Sonic, since his limbs are usually animated in a kinda rubber-hose-y sort of way. You'd be better off with swappable limbs, and that already exists in the form of the Nendoroid.
>>6157075
New Code Geass SHFs when?
>>6156813
Voted for Cammy.
The Survey will only be available until Feb 6 so better vote now.
>>6157061
I want more anime boys, personally.
$44 shipped was a steal. This is a great figure.
>>6156813
>tfw only you voted for best girl Juri
Feels bad man
>>6156831
When will he go up for preorder?
>>6157197
I voted for her too anon.
You knoe who needs a Figuarts?
>>6156813
>mine is the only vote for Urien
>>6155783
because bandai
>>6156838
Looks nice. Like actual girl.
>>6156838
6000yen, holy jesus.
>>6157264
I'm sure you're not the only want who voted for him since I saw Urien's name pop on 2ch and Figsoku.
>>6156813
I'm guessing the winner of the poll will have a prototype made ready for Toy Fair 2017.
>>6157205
4PM JST. About 18 hours from now
>>6156813
Voted for Juri because she will make a good toy and no action figures exist of her. Also FEET.
>>6157107
I don't think it would be hard to work out. His limbs are about the size of anime girls, so they shouldn't be that hard. I just make the joints strong and the head hollow, and the big shoes will take care of the rest.
Straight arms may not be 100% in character, but they'll still work. Having two sets of limbs (bent and straight) could work though, as long as both sets of limbs have proper elbow, knee, and shoulder joints (unlike the Nendroid).
>>6156828
Same here brother.
>>6157354
Bro it's not happening lol
>>6156813
No Sakura ;_;
Remember Stay Puft Marshmallow Man? Review here:
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51998091.html
I finally got a rogue one stormtrooper, and man, this guy is weird. I'm not gonna say he isn't great because he is, I'm probably gonna pick up one or two more. There's a bunch of stuff that's a certified downgrade compared to their previous troopers though, and I'm not really sure why. The other two in the pic had great head movement, while his helmet is much closer to the neck and has way less range. Same with the elbows, he technically has a double hinge but the first part is buried so deep into the bicep it might as well not be there. They even changed the hinge system the shoulder pads are on, even though they end up being functionally the same as the old ones.
It feels like they started from the ground up to wash the taste of the last one out of their mouths, even if it meant ignoring engineering that was already good. He's pretty handily the best 1/12th stormtrooper I've messed around with, but he could have easily been much better.
>>6157197
I know I did, though I hope people vote for Mika too since she'd go well with my Kinnikuman figs

>>6158380
Isn't bluefin distributing this?
>>6158125
I hate the new joint for the shoulder armor on the Shoretrooper and Death Trooper. It just makes the pad stick out further from the arm. Making the figure have wide shoulders. Hope they go back to the older type like the Stormtrooper.
>>6158487
Seeing how he's 140 on BBTS, I don't think so.

>>6158684
Fuck yeah, I want all three of those
opinions on iron man mk 3?
>>6159134
Pretty good. Not the best IM Figuart but the nicest Mk3. I prefer it to the Hot Toys Mk3 I own.
Questions for you all:
What's a price threshold where it becomes possible that an SHF is a bootleg on eBay?
I noticed that there are now bootlegs of the first version of Bruce Lee hitting at $25-$30 (it's painfully obvious they are bootlegs). But I'm also seeing the Game of Death Bruce for $52 shipped, and I'm skeptical. I also found a couple of sellers with Freddie Mercury for ~$40 shipped. The pictures look legit (when they're not promo photos), but the sellers are in Hong Kong. Could they be bootlegs? And that free shipping is without tracking. I want the real deal, so should I avoid those sellers?
Did anyone here buy the Bruce Lee yellow jumpsuit? How is the face?
>>6159134
Surprisingly fun to pose versus the last releases of MK45 and MK46 but you have to deal with swapping those hand guards again versus them being part of each hand like 45 and 46. Also they severely missed the chance to include option parts like this scene in the movie.
>>6159291
Avoid them to be safe anon.
>>6159301
http://shishioh.info/SHF_BRUCE_LEE_Yellow_Track_Suit.php
Who is this?

Someone from Saint Seya I think.
>>6159303
Thank you anon. I wish that this Bruce would come with one face looking straight ahead. Well, it is still worth it.
>>6159773
Balrog Rune from the Saint Seiya Cloth Myth line.

That announcement was old and honestly I can't think of anyone outside of Mantis that I'd want.
Still bitter that we never got Yellowjacket or the original Ant-Man suit.
>>6160293
Seeing this makes my want a figuarts of The Stig
Bandai needs to stop teasing shit and just show the figure off or they will keep getting their thunder stolen by mafex.
anyone got the anime devilman shf??
>>6161794
http://shishioh.info/SHF_DEVILMAN_D.C.php
>>6161777
Considering they beat mafex to release by months pretty much every time, I don't think they're even on their radar.
>>6161777
>keep getting their thunder stolen by mafex
You mean the same mafex that releases overpriced figures with terrible QC issues? Yeh I doubt Bandai has anything to worry about.
>>6161801
>just had a fucking movie with Cyborg 009 with an amazing design
>this is what they decide to make
Fuck everything.
>>6161777
More like Bandai will continue to tease and when they do show, people will forget the Mafex even existed.
I bet the reaction to the Figuarts will be much more positive even with the bitching about printed faces that will always come up.
>>6161777
>>6161803
>>6161805
>>6161850
Mafex quality is the best
>>6161862
and...
The hip joints on my Stone Cold are dangerously tight out of the box. I think if if put too much stress they'll just break. How do you guys loosen up tight ball joints?
>>6161777
>October
Bandai will probably release theirs in the summer to coincide with the movie.
>>6161888
well first off if you notice something is worryingly tight you should heat it up with a hair dryer to soften the plastic before you ever try to move it, so you don't snap it
and sometimes that's actually enough
But I personally always keep shock oil on hand for lubricating action figure joints and floor polish for tightening them.
I forget exactly which shock oil I have and I'm not at home to check, but it's something that's made for motorcycle suspensions and if you get one little bottle of it it lasts an eternity because you usually need an incredibly small amount, like I just get a drop on the tip of a toothpick.
>>6161888
Shock oil, or if you can't find any around you in stores then use dish soap. Just drop a little bit onto the joints, I'm talking a tiny bit on a tooth-pick. Start to work the leg gently and spread it out and it'll loosen up.
Got my Bruce today. Pic related.
I'm quite happy with him but the face on pic related had a small black paint smudge near his left eye (right side on the picture). Tried to scratch it off and even checked in the back first to make sure it's just the plastic I'm scratching but turns out there's a thickish coat of paint on gray (?) plastic so now I got rid of the black spot but replaced it with grey marks. Fuck my life.

>Ruining your new figure because of something you can barely even see.
>>6161938
Just get a tiny bottle at the hobby store. They use it for RC Cars.
Or if you have any silicone lube, that will work as well.
Also, as mentioned before dish soap (or in a pinch, rub some bar soap ) over the ball part of the joint, will work a treat.
DON'T use anything petroleum based as it degrades plastic.

Looks barely noticeable, at the most resembles a bruise.
>>6161850
I have yet to have an issue with the screen printed faces *knock on wood*
My Obi Wan, Bruce Lee, and Black Widow all look great. My Freddie could be better. He's alright I guess but still a great figure overall.
>>6161777
After the disaster that was my Mafex ASM2 Spidey, I'm not giving them another chance. Just kept the web effects and the stand. Threw the box and loose piece of shit into the garbage.
At least with Bandai's SHFs I have rarely ever had QC issues. I can depend on the mass production copies of their stuff to be more solid.
>>6161888
>>6161916
>>6161918
DON'T use shock oil, it'll discolor the plastic.
Maybe try dish soap, but I heated up the joints with boiling water, popped off the legs (REALLY CAREFULLY) and did a really light sanding on the ballpegs. When I put the legs back on they were really smooth but never got floppy.
>>6161995
I've no problem with the printed faces myself, but then again I don't view them at 10 times the size of the actual head. I totally understand the issues people have with it and can understand their thoughts but it's just going to be one of those complaints from here on out with printed face figuarts.
I'll just continue to scale the preview images down so the head matches the size it would be in hand and then make my mind up.
>>6162239
Wait. Nowhere did i say the actual printing technique is bad. Quite the opposite, it's freaking phenomenal. The blemish I had was outside the printed area and could've happened just the same on any other figure.
I actually expected much worse qfter seeing up close pictures of Bruce and others using the dot matrix but you literally cannot see the dots in person and the printing is spot on and on point.
I referred to my photograph as a low quality image.
>>6156828
Mika has a pretty strong chance honestly. I'd like one for that ass, but I hate her in the games.
>>6162332
>you literally cannot see the dots in person
Yeah you can. They look like early ps2 graphics, but it actually looks pretty good. The issue is that most faces are misaligned.
Besides the subject autists going on about he face printing, what'd you guys think of pic related?
>>6164296
I'm waiting for mine to come in the mail. And everyone in this thread has me freaked out about the face app.
>>6164290
>The issue is that most faces are misaligned.
>most
Dude what. I own 4 figs with printed faces, for a total of ten heads and none of them are off. The worst is slightly faded apps on one of them, but they're all aligned correctly.
>>6164296
looks cute and fun! I want one.
>>6164296
Doesn't look good in dynamic poses: shoulders look too broad, weird ass separation when articulating the legs forward, and they look very odd when splayed out.
Only face that looks like Margot Robbie is the open mouth one. Stoic face looks like Heather Graham and the smiling one looks ugly af
>>6164296
I think she came out alright, my lcs had one and it looked fine to me. I didn't like ss and I hate full juggalo harley though, so it's not for me. The injustice one is the perfect mix of classic and skanky.
>>6164296
severely disappointed at the butt technology
>>6164559
But Margot has no ass
just a heads up freddie mercury is available for reorder in the new diamond previews catalog
>>6164296
Did you do any repaint to that face, or is it just the lighting? That somehow looks a lot more like Margot than the majority of the in-hand pics & reviews I've seen of this figure
>>6164657
Must be the picture, I didn't do anything to it but I want to take the neutral face and redo it so her makeup is smudged
>>6165409
>>6164657
>use a shitty camera and keep subject off focus in order to let your brain fill in the details
>most accurate Margot
why are humans so suggestible?
This is why they use those low res face textures to print onto the head.
>>6165487
I bet you're a real blast at parties
>>6164657
its been proved again and again how the figure looks infinitely better when its hit by the right lightning
>>6164307
its more of a problem with some HQs
>>6164298
MFW got decent paint apps on face, but then see the nose is smashed on the smiling face. Pic related
>>6166236
>it only looks good if it's photographed in a specifically particular way.
>photos are all blurry
>>6164290
I can only speak for my Bruce Lee and no i cannot tell* they used a dot matrix. I'll try to post up close pictures later but I don't know if my phone camera is up to the task.
*Except for the edges of the eyebrows although I don't mind at all since this just looks like hair.
I don't know if I could tell they use dots if I didn't know beforehand.

I'm not exclusively talking about those photos nigglet

great pose honestly. Don't see pics like this often
>>6167098
I'm kinda annoyed that she doesn't have her bike.
>>6167066
What..?
>>6167107
Thank you very much, but what is so exceptional about that pose? I mean I like it too, but I think pic related is better. Used a shaolin doing a staff jump as reference.
Thinking of getting Cure Rogue. Is the Goto Kuru or whatever it's called better than the figuarts?
Be honest.
>>6167519
The Yes! Precure Figuarts look pretty shit, they're seriously in need of renewal versions.
The Gutto Kurus look a bit better in comparison, but you can't really say they're good figures nonetheless.
You don't really have an optimal choice in this case.
>>6167239
Her hair travels opposite of what it should in this scene
>>6161840
I actually agree for once. I would have settled for a cooler design that isn't as skinny as the previous Devilman released some months ago because I know they will never do the manga version....this looks solid quality-wise but VERY unappealing in every other regard.
>>6167875
Why the fuck won't they do the manga version? I just don't get it at all. Cyborg 009 would have been cool too...
Is there any difference in height between her regular and Max Heart versions?
>>6161933
Speakin of Bruce...
does anybody know where to get clothing for these size figures? Kinda wanna put a tank top or some shit on him.
>>6167686
fuck off M8 , we need more MJ Figuarts and David Bowie as well
>>6167887
Max heart version is taller check MFC for pics.
>>6161777
the thunder will be so loud that the mafex will fall apart
>>6168384
Oh yes! Huge fan of Space Battleship Yamato! Never thought they would make any articulated figures from it.
>>6168384
>jesus August
What did they mean by this?
(not meming, genuine enquiry, I didn't know Mandarake sold broken/damaged figures)
>>6168692

Day one purchase. Macross: Do You Remember Love next, please.
>>6168692
They do and they can cut the price big time.
>>6168708
>>6168725
It's the original MkVI. I have heard about breakage issues on those. The newer ones using the newer frame I have not heard reports of.
Hopefully the new MkVI does not have that problem.
>>6168725
I heard there was issues on that Iron Man but my current one is holding up even though the legs are now floppy and can't deal with his flight poses. MK45 is fine and I would imagine 46 and before hold up also.
Piccolo or Lupin III? Figuarts and in general figure newbie here.
>>6168761
Depends who you like more. I only have Lupin but I'm still trying to get over how odd his facesculpt is even though I know they tried to capture the Blue Jacket artstyle.

do you guys think we'll get more Bruce Lee figures? What are the other possibilities?
Got my yellow tracksuit bruce in today, absolutely top notch.
>>6169339
Pics? I kind of want to pick one up, but I've already got the game of death one and I'm not really a fan of the new faces. Like, how many tiny plastic representations of bruce lee does a man need?
>>6168978
there's been so much robin mask posting recently. i love it. kinnikuman a best.
>>6168692
The knees were notorious for cracking and possibly breaking. Mine did.
>>6169367
I love you too anon. Getting back on topic, I wonder how big Sunshine will be, because he looked absolutely massive in the pictures.
>>6168974
>all that pissed people because their scamstarter got fucked
all what the people of the kickstarter needed to not end it like this was simply asking to fox
>>6167887
Max Heart had bettter paint, sculpt, accesories and joints, but the design limit the articulation range
Regular version has better articulation range and can pull crazier poses.
>>6169438
Max Heart is also taller but not much.
>>6169438
What accessories does each one come with? I have the original but it and most of my stuff is in storage. I remember when Max Heart got announced I felt jipped.
>>6154144
that looks like shit
>>6169465
First version comes with the shaking hands for the Marble Scew pose.
Max Heart version has an aditional faceplate, one of the magic bracelets, more hands (than the first version) and the yellow pet with the domon's voice (forgot his name)
>>6169559
Make a better one
>>6169860
>the yellow pet with the domon's voice (forgot his name)
Mepple.
just got body kun dx
he's neat
Kind of stumped now on what faces to go with for each now that I got Yellow Jumpsuit Bruce in but pretty solid release.
>>6171576
Is his elbow range shit because of those rolled up sleeves?
>>6171579
You can get a little bit more than 90° since the rolled up bits can move up a smidge on the arm itself but don't expect a lot.
>>6171604
Ah, thanks for the comparison man. Shit, is this shot deceptive or is he actually way taller than the old Bruce?
>>6171608
>flat slippers
>comfy tennis shoes
>>6171608
There is a height difference and I believe the last thread even had anon's noting that when shots starting coming out post-release.
>>6171617
That's a pretty big difference. Seems to all be in the torso, though, so I wonder if there's any modding that could shrink new Bruce.

I'll probably going to get a KO whenever it comes out and try my hand at painting the face
>>6164296
Mine came today. Smiling face and neutral face are fine. The mouth is misaligned on the open mouth face. Not too bad, though. Just kinda looks like her teeth are visible from the left side.
I don't have anything in scale with her other than my revoltech Raiden, though.

I knoe.
(also, License to Ill or Check Your Head versions would be great)
>>6172793
At first I thought this was a recolor of Big, and that Strong would be a 3rd figure. I'm glad I was wrong.
>>6172555
How do you like the potatoes cooked that way?
>>6172788
I feel like I'm gonna need more effect parts for him
>>6172505
So this is my first figuarts and I think I found a new obsession.
Any suggestions?
>>6172788
His face looks too wide
>>6172793
I want this, but I'm not a fan about paying for something I won't get until August.
>>6172870
What properties are you into? They make Star Wars stuff. They've got a bunch of Iron Man figures. Their 2 Bruce Lee figures are great.
>>6173034
Iron Man's not something I'm super into, but the figures look really good. I am big on Star Wars. Mostly just that I'm seeing a bunch of anime stuff and I have like zero interest in that.
>>6173094
They do Marvel movie stuff and Star Wars pretty well. I think the figures with human faces are a better thing to get than Stormtroopers. There's a Han Solo coming out later this month that looks really impressive.
http://nov.2chan.net/y/res/3634045.htm
>>6172045
actually since you used a Char picture you also reminded me that they never released its SHF....I will never understand why bandai doesn't release Char & Amuro....Domon shelfwarming is hardly a good reason since the audience and iconic status are impossible to compare.
>>6172788
his regular face is just decent, but the one with the clenching teeth is awful...they were improving the line with the latest releases and suddenly it's back to the old quality...I'm not too disappointed it's an exclusive considering that.
>>6145937
Finally updated this, if old OP or someone else wants to use it for the next thread
Does the Akane figure come with a long hair head?
How do the various Zeroes, (the MMX character, not statues,) hold up?
Are Black Zero and Type 2 still good figures?
>>6174061
>Are Black Zero and Type 2 still good figures?
A tad dated, but still the best zero figures out there. The only shitty thing about the figure is it is a bitch to pose, like the other MM D-arts forearm and leg pieces are really annoying. They also didn't really do a good job of engineering the hair and its joint.
Even with these slight annoyances, it's totally worth it's retail price.
>>6173883
No. Four hands, four faces, a book bag, hammer, and P-chan.
>>6174671
>No.
Well they're not getting my money for that one, then.
Hope the line's doing good enough to get more characters, though.
>>6173510
>finally got the muscle spark pose just right
>just in time for it to be replaced by something involving these two
>>6176811
>Hope the line's doing good enough to get more characters, though.
It's not. Come on, anon. Out of four hundred chapters she had the long hair for thirteen. Let it go in the hope of getting Ryoga and Genma. I have her pre-ordered at two different places to make sure I get one.
>>6173662
I keep telling you - the torch has been unofficially passed to you. I haven't detected old OP's presence for a while. Maybe he's\she's moved on.
I could be wrong though.
>>6176857
I don't mind doing it from now on, but I just don't want to step on any toes. Someone else did the previous thread.
I guess I'll start the next thread soon.
>>6176857
>>6176975
Old OP here - Yeah I haven't been keeping up and I feel bad about it, but life's had me slammed a bit recently. It was never intentional, I wanted threads to stay up as long as possible and it usually landed on a day I'd be at work 12+ hours and someone else would make it anyway. I've been working a lot of overtime, new girlfriend, trying to keep up with friends and whatnot. I haven't even looked at these threads in a couple weeks.
It was a fun (almost) 2 years doing these threads, and I'm glad to contribute to /toy/ after being here for so long, but my time is done, I'm just too normie.
>>6177892
Hell I even completed this set 2 months ago and haven't popped in to brag about these almost garbage-ass figures. Might as well show it off now, I don't think any else on /toy/ has their own pic of all nine of 'em.
>>6176975
I guess we'll see.
If you're gonna do it, can you add your signature at the end of each thread? Like a pic of a character or whatever.
Old OP has his/her signature image at the last post that links to the old thread. Kinda liked that method, if you don't mind.
>>6177892
Hi old OP. I've been here before these newfriends started collecting and trust me when I say you keep things organized. Thanks for your effort.
I'm kind of on the same boat and it just seems that there are more important things now to put my time into. I get it.
Really appreciate your help and I wish you good luck.
