No chance. We all know SHF Pikachu is gonna bomb next month and kill any hope of more Pokemon SHF.

Most of the sites I saw limited purchases to 3 per household and so they must think it'll be hot. But I was really disappointed that Bluefin isn't bothering to import it. Then again, the last round of Pokémon sat and sat and sat. I kick myself for not ordering CharIzard but at the time nobody was touching the couple before it and he ended up sitting for months too.
>>5573265
Well majority of items are 3 per household...
>>5573173
Unless you specifically want the remake version, there's this statushit to look forward to.

It's kinda sad, Red's getting all this sweet new merch but it's just collectible shit. A nendo here, and a statue there, and another nendo. Tomy somehow found the fucks to give to make a great poseable Ash Ketchum toy at least.
>>5573265
Personally, I'm glad i never got charizard. It may be the most poseable toy of it we'll ever get, but I'll never forgive them fucking up that headsculpt.
>>5573307
This. "Hot" items are 1-per.
>>5573313
Isn't that line really undersized and flimsy for its price though?
>>5573159
Man they just aren't making smart decisions with the Pokemon figuarts. Before this, it was Mega Blaziken, which despite being a pretty well executed figure, and possibly the Pokemon Figuarts with the most range of movement, was a character with little nostalgic appeal to most older fans.
Now they finally make a Pokemon with really wide appeal, Pikachu, and it looks like dogshit. I still can't believe that prototype made it this far. Looks like the worst Figuarts shit we've gotten wince the One Piece ones.

I want cubone, he kind of has a cult following i mean he was in the pokemon origins movie and pretty much everyone knows his origin story and how lonely he is and he even got to be a assist on pokken tournament recently! I dont like how they cuted cubone up though, he used to have a really angry sounding voice at least in the original anime and pikachu's vacation.
>>5573345
Depends where you order. HLJ is all over the place. But then HLJ absolutely cannot manage preorders either.
>>5573367
I agree! Mega-Blaziken was a weird choice. He's also a bit of a combo-breaker because of his mega-evolution, and it's why I wasn't that interested in him. It's the same for shitty Pikachu.
I think a smarter decision would've been to produce figuarts of the regular evolved starters from each Gen. They're already popular and well know and would be more appealing to a collector. I haven't played some of the new games yet, but I wouldn't hesitate to pick up their figures. Feraligatr, Greninja, Infernape, Delphex, Samurott etc would be so cool as figuarts. Even the dull ones like Meganium.
>>5573337
>fucking up that headsculpt
It's not the worst if you keep his mouth closed ;_;
you nendo-knoe…
>>5573511
Samurott is SO fucking horribly hideous. His first two forms were amazingly cool. I don't understand why it turned into such an ugly faggot in its final evolution. I just couldn't evolve mine past second form. First two forms were bad ass humanoid kimono otter monsters, then it turns into some freakishly ugly finned seal bitch with a narwhal helmet. The fuck were they thinking?
>>5573698
He's odd for sure. Going on all fours and growing a beard are a bit too much of drastic departure from his previous forms. That generation is pretty fucked anyway. Snivy is such a shitty "what even is this" design and in his final form, losing his limbs and turning into a slithering cock covered in fleur-de-lys just boggles my mind.
>>5573313
I'm seriously considering getting that, and the May that's going to follow it. I just want articulated figs of the protags in general, but statues might just have to do.
Also, the Nendoroid doesnt appeal to me.
>>5573907
it says they're 1/8 size. Is that usually quite small? I know people have been pretty disappointed with the other Poké statues released recently. Personally I'd prefer articulated figures.
>>5573551
A May nendoroid with starters would be cool!
>>5573790
It's a reference to snakes losing their legs on evolution.

Bluefin can't import any Pokemon stuff. Tomy has the master licence outside of Asia.
Meowth for a FiguArts would be awesome. He's like, the fourth Gen 1 Pokemon that's remembered.
I've known for years.

90% of the people who say shit like this will just stick the figure onto their shelf in one awkward pose and only change the pose once every 6 months or so. That number bumps to about 99% in the case of Nintendo figures, if the pictures most people here post of their horribly-posed "Smash displays" are any indication.
>>5579370
>overrated game that people only cry over these days because it sold like shit upon release
if anything deserves merch, it's Chrono Trigger- a game that rightfully whipped EB on the market because it was a better game.
>>5573348
If it's the same line as the swimsuit Misty, yes. Someone posted pics when that came out and it was small, underwhelming, and she was blonde.
>>5579937
It isn't the same line as the swimsuit Misty, though. That was a P-Bandai figure, same as the buff Brock. This Red is from Kotobukiya's ArtFX line, which generally has a good track record.
>>5579729
Bandai showing how well they do Toriyama's style would make figuarts Chrono Trigger a dream come true, but Square would never let someone else touch their properties, and they'll also never produce high quality CT figures themselves.
>>5579521
>90% of the people
yeah and 90% of the people who say shit like this never actually did any research on the matter.
>>5580824
I'm sorry someone called your Figma Link poses awkward and stiff.
>>5580050
Does anyone have an in-hand picture of that? I'm pretty sure this $8 candy toy statue I bought recently was higher quality than it.
>tfw no sekai maou's maou with fairy mao accessory figma
>tfw no elf/demon loli to sit on a throne on top of your shelf
I know nobody cares about it and that Konosuba mocks the same thing in a better way but IDGAF. The manga is cute.
I'd even buy Alsha if he looked inept enough in figure form.
>>5579729
K.
Chrono trigger would be cool too.
>>5579729
Why not both?
