To reply to this from the previous thread because I'm a massive LLfag, only FOUR were actually normal releases. Not even the bigger half, and Honoka, the MC, was a web exclusive for both her releases. They did do a two-pack for Rin and Hanayo, and I think maybe they would have done better if Maki/Nico and Eli/Nozomi were treated as double packs as well, and if any were to be general releases it should at least be the three girls with the most screen time.

Bandai really flubbed this line, which is just fuckin' weird considering how close they are with Sunrise.

Then with the yellow GoD jumpsuit they could do the giant Kareem footprint on his chest as the exclusive.

Give it time. Bandai is warming up to Western licenses. I never thought Star Wars Figuarts would be happening, and yet here we are.

> No Alien Figuarts, that represents a failure of capitalism

They did Monsterarts. Isn't that close enough? They bombed pretty hard, so I doubt they'll be revisiting that. And anything beyond the Aliens would require likeness rights. And accurate sculpts.

As much as I love the comic, Ranma, Akane and Ryoga would pretty much do it for me. I would have bought warrior Shampoo but the waitress didn't really grab me.

All that said if they did do every recurring character I'd consider getting anything that looks like a good figure.

Stop breaking global rule seven.

And "durrr ur an an autistic ban evader" doesn't actually change what is said in the posts. Because the posts are not actually connected to the person who made them. The information is the posts is stand alone.

It's also funny how you call someone else autistic while doing something autistic yourself. Autism means you can't communicate with other people, you are saying to stop communicating.

But it's understandable, because you rather just delude yourself and attack people rather than actually own up to the fact you are wrong.

So I go to a comic shop and they have a catalog. In April's catalog, they advertise Leo and Donnie for the Turtles S.H. Figuarts. Is it possible that Raph and Mikey will be made available? Because I know two of those are web exclusives, unless whoever is distributing this can get all 4 of them.

>>5583106
anon, you underestimate how cool it would be to have a hoverboard for my figures
>>
>>5583106

They'd probably be good gets just for some of the possible accessories. Camcorder, walkman, guitar, case of plutonium, hoverboard, all kinds of fun stuff. The real question is what Bandai would bother to include.

>>5582004

After having Freddie for a day, I really hope the next music figuarts come with instruments. I already have a few for my other figures to use, but it'd be pretty great to set up a whole band of iconic performers.

Hendrix was the one that immediately came to mind. Tons of great expressions, guitar playing style, and even fire effect parts. He'd be amazing to have a figure of.

Is there really no alt-faceplat? She looks fucking horrifying. I can't quite tell what but something's not right.

They perfectly captured her current 'Jewess past the age of 30' look.

Seriously, what is it with hot Jewish women and falling apart the moment they hit their 30's? Portman's going the same way.

>>5585709
It's the space between her eyes / nose. Like that whole area is distorted.
>>
>>5585709
>>5585742
Looks pretty accurate to me.

I think the problem is they didn't take enough artistic license. It looks too much like her, right down to some of the more bizarre facial features that awful mom haircut Whedon made her wear accentuated.
>>
>>5585691
>>5585694
The sculpt is ok I guess, she just looks really pale. Like, compared to her chest, her face is ashy as hell.

Is it unusual for figures to be announced before the anime even airs? I assume this is meant to be in conjunction with the new anime rather than the manga.
Either way, she's super cute- although I don't see the point of selling off the bike, since that's specifically the bike she rides.

I thought it was fucking horrifying. Prototype A was a Detroit cop who was mortally wounded in the field, just as Robocop 1 was. Legally, property of the state, so it was perfectly alright to subject him to whatever was so terrible to make his final actions be the murder of two related scientists, and his immediate suicide.

Prototype B was scrapped together so quickly that the subject's blood still covered the bones.

Despite the comedic and satirical nature of the Robocop films, the horror of such an overbearing police state is still evident, and very well portrayed.
>>
I got my Beerus today and he came with some deep scuffs on the underside of his tail as well as on two of the hands. It looks like if you snapped a gunpla peg wrong or like it was scratched deep with an exacto-or something.

I don't think Bwie actually wore the make-up for the cover to Aladdin Sane in concert, which makes getting a full body figure of it questionable. Ziggy Stardust had a full outfit design, but I'm not sure if they'd go with it for a first Bowie figure. I think we'll see a compromise by doing a vaguely late 70's Bowie, since he generally came back to that look regularly as far as hair and style, and it's less of a "character".
>>
>>5590946

The ankles are definitely the big weakness. I can't really get much out of them, but I might just be too careful. Other than that though, he's a blast. You can still get him into some pretty good poses, including action ones.

>>5590937

The main thing I want now is musicians that could bring their own instruments, but most of the performers that come to mind either play guitar or are vocalists. It might be rough to get a whole band together.

That's a good point, pretty sure most body pictures of Aladdin Sane were topless so makes for a bit of a generic figure minus the head. Would make for some great packaging though.

Ziggy was probably the most fleshed out so that would probably be the most obvious choice, that or his 80's look during Live Aid would possibly be the other choice.
Considering that the Freddie figure is his Live Aid costume too, would make for that Under Pressure/Live Aid combination.

Ideally I'd love a Jareth Labyrinth Bowie if possible.

Monsterarts Godzilla style add on set with drums, keyboard, etc. If they did a couple more musicians it'd sell well enough even if it were inevitably exclusive.
>>
>>5591044
Ehhh no, Freddie is live at wembley stadium
>>
>>5591013
The only issue with musicians with instruments would be who is iconic enough either visually or fame to get a figure.

For visual, many of the 80's hair metal bands like Motley Crue would lend perfectly to a group of unique looking figures with instruments.
That said, the appeal probably just isn't there and Japan is full of those type of bands currently that they could just focus on the Japanese bands.

Beatles probably work for a full band with instruments though. I can't think of many quite famous drummers outside of Dave Grohl.

Freddie is great, so easy to make him look good. Then again he's my first realistic human figure since I began collecting so of course he'd look more natural and photogenic even in the most mundane poses. The ankles definitely a weak point though, it's a bit hard to make him stand on his own sometimes, wish they included a stand.

What do you think of the new Captain America Figuarts?
My AoU one has a wobbly leg and his arm fell off on its own (see: ham hands)

>>
>>5598011
It's the same basic engineering with a more Captain America-y colour scheme and two new heads done with the digital printing tech.

It's pretty much guaranteed to be a slight improvement all round, especially with the unmasked head.
>>
>>5594519
It's a pity Bandai screwed the pooch so hard on Alien; they have the talent to make really good figures but they just didn't give enough of a fuck. I have the SHMA Big Chap and whilst I do like him he isn't exactly a great figure.

A shame. Figuarts of the human characters would be awesome. I'd kill for Ripley, Hicks and Vasquez.

The Predator was pretty good, and the AvP warrior wasn't too bad. If they had stuck with it and let the line evolve a little, they probably could have done some awesome stuff.

Is there any alien figure around that size that's actually any better than the Alien Warrior? Maybe the revoltech? Neca's is just crap, and the Warrior's articulation spoiled me so much I can't deal with their fucking statues.

All in all, its probably the most underrated figure I own.
>>
>>5600693
SHMA Alien Warrior is your best bet.
>>
>>5600693

The NECA figures are fine. Their Aliens have a shit ton of articulation.

Their Aliens warrior isn't so great, because the legs are prone to breaking, but their Dog Alien and the AvP Xeno are probably two of the better Alien figures around. They're definitely among some of NECA's best figures.

Yeah, I realize how it sounds, but I've been collecting for a long, long time. 10 years ago I would've thought the NECA alien stuff was marvelous, but I've been spoiled with SHF. I've been an articulation junkie since the late 90's so what's cutting edge for NECA is stuff I've seen since the early 2000's.

We're quickly reaching a point where the line might fizzle out. There are only three real protagonists left (Ramenman, Terryman, Geronimo), and main antagonists are starting to get scarce as well.

CD Japan is a very reliable store. I've ordered several times from them, including Macross stuff that sold out super quickly elsewhere, and they've always been great. Their customer service responds really quickly too. Be aware that you need to select credit card payment in order to pay later on preorders; paying with Paypal requires you to pay upfront.

I think their main weakness is that their shipping rates for multiple items aren't so great (rates are fine for individual items, though).

Kind of depends if you have either of their previous versions. I thought the last cap was a flawed masterpiece. He wasn't perfect due to some QC and proportion issues, but I feel like he's the best 6" cap we've gotten yet. The new head can only help the CW version.

As far as the 47 goes, bandai's basically been putting out an iron man every year, and they've gotten pretty good at it. Barring a massive fuck up out of nowhere, he'll probably end up somewhere between good and great.

The hood isn't much better with the cloth. The way the robe sits over the chest makes him look fatter. I just didn't like the 'flow' of the robes on the body. It was an interesting experiment, but yeah, decided I like the vanilla figuarts Ren better.

>The hood isn't much better with the cloth.
I really disagree with this. It's a little pointier than I'd like at the back area, but the front is perfect. You can't really have him with the hood back though, so I'll give you that.

>The way the robe sits over the chest makes him look fatter. I just didn't like the 'flow' of the robes on the body.
I agree with the second part? I think the chest looks perfect with the cloth, although I'll be the first to admit the waist area isn't great. To be fair though, none of the toys of him capture the flat horizontal midsection of the actual costume. I think the only time the stock plastic robes look better is when they're hanging straight down, and even then they're a little poofy around the hips.

Overall I'd say figuarts+cloth >>>> black series > figuarts alone.
>>
>>5603918
Of course.

>>5603956
Which version of black Kylo Ren robes did you use? I had the first one (got it off of Amazon right at Force Friday), so it's the longer robes. I don't think the hood is different in either version, just the second version is more bunched under the plastic scarf. I never got the cloth hood to 'rest' well on Ren's head. I didn't mess with bunching the excess hood under the scarf, though, but it didn't look that good for Me.

In the end, I just find the plastic robes to be less of a hassle and works better with the aesthetic of My toys.

>Which version of black Kylo Ren robes did you use? I had the first one (got it off of Amazon right at Force Friday), so it's the longer robes.
I got an amazon warehouse one for cheap a couple months ago (around the date of that pic), and I guess I lucked out and got the revision. You're right, I remember there was a ton of hood fabric bunched up under the plastic cloak piece, so that part at least should be the same. I can see the actual lower part of the robe being a dealbreaker if you had the extra long version though, it's basically flush with his feet on mine.

>In the end, I just find the plastic robes to be less of a hassle and works better with the aesthetic of My toys.
To each his own, man, you've gotta go with what you like.

They're not terrible for anime, just not as good as figma usually. Wouldn't know about Naruto, but I've heard that line is full of pretty low-effort releases and tend to be some of figuarts' weaker figures.

Anything on any of these other then lupin? I already have the the revoltech lupin and jigen but I really want the zenigata, maybe goemon. I want goemon but I feel the version of him used would clash to much with my revoltechs

I suspect they're waiting to see how Lupin and Fujiko sell.

Well yeah, the Revoltechs are puny.

What are the chances of a Guavian Enforcer figuarts? I know none of you are bandai insiders so it's more a call for speculation.

The design is very cool and I think it would be great for army building. And yes, I have the black series one but I want one with more articulation.

He looks pretty nice aside from those. I sort of wish they'd done something different to give him some torso movement between the chest plates, but I was probably gonna pass on him anyway.

The black visor is too wide down the center. Also those joints look like trash.

This is definitely a maybe, there ain't even an unmasked facetech Jango expression. Honestly I would've preferred Dooku.

To be honest I wouldn't be getting it if I wasn't a huge Jango fan.

that's it, it looks like they flipped the thickness between the eyes and mouth parts. If this is indicative of boba I think I'll stick with the revo.

Where did you get the idea that it is meant to be? The Sideshow 1/6 Jango Fett helmet is like that too and I doubt they're both "wrong". Let's try to stick with legitimate complaints here like the current lack of an unmasked portrait (which was shown at Tamashii Nations 2015).

You fucking know full well this is going to happen.
>>
>>5605741
how is complaining about the one part they need to get correct is wrong? There were a few ages that had the helmet with a brow but nothing like the figuarts has. His visor is also too wide right in the middle and it makes an oval instead of just being straight across.

It's supposed to be just nearly flush with it. The gap between them is too big on the figure, gives it a pinhead look.

I agree with you. At this rate the Black Series will soon surpass Bandai in terms of quality vs. value for money..
>>
>>5605771
I can't find a picture, but compare the figure to this pic, then to the CGI model of Jango that takes Anakin and Padme captive at the end of the droid factory scene.

The droid factory sequence was a late reshoot Lucas added because he felt like there needed to be some action in the second act to balance out all the romance he'd ineptly crammed into the movie - the Jango CGI model is noticeably different to the one seen elsewhere in the film and looks a lot like this figure.

I'm wondering if Bandai got sent a 3D model to exploit and Disney sent them the shitty Jango from the droid factory by accident...
>>
>>5605842
But the Black Series doesn't have any accessories either

Never have I been more dissapointed in a figuarts.

You're part of the problem. Don't support bad products.
>>
>>5605624
Seriously what in the FUCK were they thinking with those knees and elbows?

Why regress to elbow and knee joints this obvious-looking when you've knocked it out the park with the likes of Luke and Obi-wan?

Hell, I'd even take a Maul/Jedi Luke-style disc elbow if it was done with enough subtlety.

You're not wrong, anon. I'm on the fence about it but I really shouldn't

They hid the joints in the Black Series Jango so well and I'm really impressed with the separate gunbelt, but he can't pose for shiiiiit.

Very attractive figure though. Captured Temuera Morrison's bulk perfectly and it just looks right. One of the best if not THE best Black Series with exception to the Sandtrooper.
>>
>>5605978
This. I'd have much rather seen those than this 2011-era shit.

Is it a safe bet that they handed this off to the b-team? It looks like it was designed by the people who did the Naruto figures, the joint setup is very similar.
>>
>>5605982
He can pose just as well as any other BS figure from the past year.

>>
>>5605999
>He can pose just as well as any other BS figure from the past year.

Don't get me wrong, I really really like the line still because I feel like whoever designs them does a great job at integrating the joints into the sculpt, but sometimes once it gets past prototype and into production it hinders function.

Every Black Series figure this past year has been a vast improvement in sculpt quality and has taken a step back in terms of how poseable the articulation points make the figure.

This. Ths figuarts Jango figure looks like it was designed by the same team who did the Stormtrooper and Vader we got, not the Maul/Luke/Obi-wan designers.

I'm not really a Grievous fan but if pics come out and it becomes obious that whoever did the Battle Droids do him also I'm all for it.
>>
>>5606023
I feel like that's doing a disservice to Vader and the Stormtroopers, honestly.

Vader's biggest problems are being a dwarf and terrible cape design.

The Stormtrooper's biggest problems are limited forward hip range and a slightly off helmet sculpt.

This is on a different level, honestly.

is there a reason why Figuarts Eli is so low in price? I was in japan and while most Love Live Figuarts were between 3-5k, most places marked her down to 1-2k.

She came out around the same time as the figma, and most people jumped on that one instead.

Nico, Maki, Nozomi, and Hanayo aren't out yet so their figuarts fill that niche at the moment.
