FIguarts A New Hope Luke review
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51984634.html
>>5802187
>just canceled him because way too many preorders in july holy shit
Ehhhhhh, I think I'm ok with this decision? They've definitely stepped it up in the articulation and proportions department compared to the ROTJ version, but I really don't need two lukes.
Herpes or bee sting?
Rogue One Black Series 6 inch leak
>>5802224
>no shore trooper
fucking garbage
>Inb4 hasbro garbage anyway
>>5802213
Holy Jesus that's bad. Add some drool and it's Mark Hamill's retard clone.
>>5802224
Oh boy, a whole lineup of characters that have no impact to Star Wars at all to pegwarm forevermore.
>>5802187
what about some new prequel era stuff thats what I want
>>5802252
>Alright sir, this is gonna sound crazy, but what if we DON'T make any toys for the biggest movie of the year? I know the sales for the force awakens were off the charts but we can't take the risk of having unsold merch on shelves again!
>... You're fucking fired, johnson.
Seriously, what would you rather see them make instead?
>>5802323
magna guards, battle droid variants, general grevious, clone troopers of all kinds! emperor palpatine and count cooku, read em and weep.
>>5802301
SHUTUP retard, that's pretty much ALL they've been doing!
>>5802213
holy fuck, that's hideos
bandai needs to stop using cheapo printing apps
>>5802323
>biggest movie of the year
Yeah, no.
>>5802635
If you don't think a Star Wars film will be the top grossing movie of the year, you're a fucking retard
>>5802187
Karate Farmer
>>5802640
You're a fucking retard for supporting something that's clearly going to suck.
>>5802739
The world doesn't revolve and respond to your opinion, millions of people will see it regardless of how angry you are
>>5802744
That's what they said about Ghostbusters!
>>5802744
Everyone dies at the end. They get shot down as they transfer the Death Star plans to the Tantive. The main chick's father helped build the Death Star and purposely left a weakness in it's build.
>>5802635
Buckle up kid.
Top fuckin kek
The EE exclusive 3.75 'super articulated' set is literally a bunch of gay droids.
>>5802378
whats with the outburst youngling? i want pure concentration on prequel material, get the cool stuff done then they do the other things...maybe later.
>>5802988
Well that's $70 saved. Hasbro really doesn't give a shit about Star Wars anymore.
>>5802988
damn they couldn't make those look worse if they tried
Voting time, elect our queen.
http://www.starwars.com/news/vote-now-for-the-next-black-series-figure
>>5803139
>http://www.starwars.com/news/vote-now-for-the-next-black-series-figure
She's been winning but she has been overtaken by Starkiller. If it's anything like last year at least one runner up will also get chosen, so it seems like it'll be the two of them.
>>5803181
Are people voting Starkiller just because they have "nostalgia" for that shit game or something? People who played it when they were 10-13 year old idiots would be fucking 18-21 by now. I can't fathom why else they would vote for that turd, L I T E R A L L Y Star Wars' Donte.
>>5803191
i voted for him because he looks cool, not some slutty fan fic sith
>>5803191
I'm honestly not sure, but then again some people are vehemently voting for Dengar just because he's canon and from a movie where he did nothing and has done nothing until the Clone Wars cartoon. So who knows what people's motives are, but I'm pretty sure the majorities criteria is either uses a lightsaber or has a cool design/character (like a Boba or like last year's runner up, Sabine in her mandalorian getup).
>>5803191
Starkiller, Darth Raven, and Kylo Ren are all basically the same character. It's a popular Star Wars type, just like Sith Tattoo is also a popular type.
I'm also expecting them to decide to make both Talon and Starkiller from this fanvote.
>>5803139
I was just going to post this.
So yeah...
Starkiller
>In his edgelord outfit and not his cool Death Star raiding robes. Pass.
Jaina Solo
>Literally who? She's deep into EU territory for most normies who would just see her as just a general jedi girl. Pass
Darth Talon
>Sith boobies! For that alone, I think most people are going to vote for her. My vote could go to something better. Pass.
Captain Rex
>Fan favorite character & an easy re-use of the already made clone trooper body. But I'm sure that even if he wasn't on the list, he'd get a figure sooner or later. Waste of a vote. Pass.
Dengar
>Like Rex, I'm pretty sure we'd get him in the black line sooner or later. But who wants a fat guy in bandages when they can have Sith boobies? Another vote waster. Pass.
Mara Jade
>A fan favorite and something we wouldn't normally get in the line. A solid vote all the way. Also, Emperor's Hand boobies. Hit.
>>5803221
Completely agreed across the board. I'm utterly shocked that Mara is dead fucking last.
>>5803221
I voted for Mara Jade, would be fucking sick to have. she is losing by a large margin though.
>>5803221
>We might get Starkiller but we'll never get Proxy or those Stormtrooper variants
>>5803221
Voted Mara too. Only Starkiller I'd ever buy is this.
>>5802334
Wait, so you're mad that they're making figures from the huge upcoming movie instead of more prequel stuff?
You are stupid.
>>5802187
> they didn't fix his literal gold color hair from the last Luke they made
What
>>5803369
No, you're a moron. They could be making established characters that would actually sell, not pegwarmers to be.
>>5803369
Please refrain from egging on the autists.
>>5803139
>Durge never ever
>>5803221
To me Mara Jade is second, first is Talon.
>>5803139
Considering Hasbro can't do human characters worth a shit, I'll have to go with Talon or Rex.
>>5802187
So now we have Toby McGuire and early 2000s Ben Affleck. What the hell is it with Mark Hamill's likeness that's so hard to capture?
>>5803221
Reminder that Hasbro announced six inch Rex was coming back in 2014.
>>5803756
I don't know, but they nailed his solid gold hair :^)
>>5803756
Left looks pretty accurate to me.
>>5803756
Too cute to capture.
>>5803772
I'm not seeing it honestly.
Star Trek Is Better.
>>5803756
These Figuarts printed faces always look off in the promotional macro shots, and they always look great in real life. I'm sure it will be just fine.
>>5803804
I think the only people that worry about that are the weirdos that kiss their figures. Even if you pew pew them and actually play with them, they are still far enough away where it just blends in.
>>5803820
Nah, more like people who bitch about these figures but don't actually own them.
>>5803804
I don't care about the micro dots, I care about likeness, which they were able to capture with Sam Jackson, Bruce Lee, and Ewan McGregor but haven't with anyone else.
>>5802334
Yeah I like this. Even tho the prequels were shit (IMO you fucks) I love a lot of the cool shit we got in Toy form
>>5803139
Sadly Starkiller just edged her out but we still won Legacy fans. I bought her twice over in 3.75" and I'll buy her in 6"
comic is shit, but i like these designs
>>5803986
Wow those are nice designs. What series is it? The aptly named Star Wars series from Marvel?
>>5803986
What is that nigga gonna do with those tiny babby knives.
>>5803139
Other than her revealing outfit, I don't see the appeal in Talon.
>>5802757
star wars isn't politicized
also very few people actually wanted a ghostbusters remake
Time and fucking time again we've been shown that Black Series can't pull off Humanoid faces, there so many aliens and droids to choose from. I mean come on; HK-47, 4-LOM, Zuckess.
I don't understand how Starkiller is winning, he's an okay character, but he's has the buzz cut equivalent of a personality.
and seriously why the FUCK is Rex even allowed on there
>>5804216
The exact same reason Sabine was in the last one. Its the figure they already planned on making so they were hoping said characters popularity will win out.
so will there be any new figuarts starwars figures shown in the following days?
>>5804400
No Japan only, wait for Wonder Fest
>>5804407
when is wonder fest
>>5803732
Rex is already coming. Vote Talon.
>>5803221
>Jaina Solo
>Literally who?
I wish /toy/ was actually familiar with the source material of the toys they buy.
>>5803756
>>5804396
Where is that Malcolm McDowell anon?
Why isn't the One True Hero in the poll?
I want him.
>>5804407
I'm not certain, but I've heard Bandai won't be attending wonderfest this year
But yeah, we couldn't expect them to show any Star Wars at SDCC since that license isn't supposed to be distributed here.
Question/suggestion time:
Mafex Stormtrooper worth picking up if I want another one? Already have Hasbro, Revo, and Bandai model
Revo Darth worth picking up if I want a more dynamic Vader? Already have the Bandai model
Lastly, best 3PO?
>>5804970
That's subjectpedo, don't summon him please.
>>5805775
The only ones worth collecting are Sideshow/Hot Toys/Tamashii, numbskull
>>5805775
yeah the mafex stormtrooper is pretty good, i'd pick it up
revo vader looks ridiculous to me and has joint problems, but it's up to you - by far the best 1/12 vader is the mafex
qui gon jin does not have a figuarts I repeat does not have a figuarts.
Fucking when
Ripley?
>>5802988
Jesus, Astromech collectors will be the only ones with even a slight interest in this.
>>5805775
Mafex Stormtrooper is the best one.
>>5803986
Something about cloaks over space armor looks really cool to me
>>5806110
Cloaks are sexy as fuck. The more dusty and tattered the better.
>>5806091
>>5803986
holy fuck i want a figure of the big one yesterday.
not even yesterday, i want it last month.
i want a figure of that motherfucker 50 years ago.
>>5806032
Say his name
>>5803986
Y'all Gungans realize that these stormtroopers are just the Team Fortress guys dressed in white plasteel?
The only ones no accounted for are the Medic and Demo Man.
>>5802334
So long as Disney is running things, we're basically going to get nothing but OT/sequel trilogy/spin-off figures for the next few years.
>Tfw no Black Series Qui-Gon Jinn or young Anakin Skywalker
>>5803139
All the female black series figures look terrible. You really want to subject Talon to that mess?
>>5805775
Get the model kit.
>>5802988
>The EE exclusive 3.75 'super articulated' set is literally a bunch of gay droids.
Why, just why?
Were do you guys buy your Star Wars model kits, besides Amazon?
>>5806815
That's really the only place you can get them now, at least for a good price
Hasbro will release a retail version of episode iv Ben Kenobi, right?
Right?
>>5806930
Right, just as they have with every other SDCC exclusive Black Series. it just won't include the extraneous accessory (in this case the table).
>>5802769
And? Spoilers for the previous shitty star wars film were known for MONTHS before its release and it still made fuck-tons of money.
People eat this crap up, regardless of quality and that is why they will make merchandise of the characters. How is that hard to understand?
And I just realised I'm responding to a two day old post. Whatever.
>>5807173
You really are a sad individual.
Damn, Jaina only have 1% less than Edgekiller.
>>5803772
Accurate to Malcolm McDowell maybe.
>jaina is winning
>not talon
>no more twi'lek body for Aayla Secura
Black Series fans are the fucking worst
>>5807495
>Not being a #FiguartsMissile
>>5807495
>>jaina is winning
How is that even possible?
The difference was almost 15K in favor of Starkiller.
>>5807536
Guys mobilizing their friends and familly.
>>5807495
>Black Series fans are the fucking worst
I love seeing Dengar's "fan" being triggered because Starkiller, Talon or Jaina aren't canon.
>>5807536
How do you see the vote number?
>>5807684
Once you made your vote the results appear.
In the last hour Sunkiller received almost 10k votes, he is winning again.
Figuarts or model kit for my Clone Trooper army building?
>>5807552
To be fair though, whether or not I like Dengar it would be nice to have him to eventually make a complete lineup of the bounty hunters.
>>5807791
Darth Talon would have been a good figure....
rip in pip talonfags.
>>5807875
If Disney won't allow slave Leia to exist what makes you think Talon would get made?
New Black Series incoming
Oooooooooh
>>5807940
don't be jumping on my posts boi
>>5807942
>>5807927
>>5807932
>>5807938
>>5807940
>>5807942
And icing on the cake, bwahahahaha
>>5807927
HOLY SHIT LANDO YES THAT CAPE ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD TOO WHAT THE FUCK
>>5807932
Never thought green mom would have gotten a 6", but I'm down.
>>5807938
>>5807940
The softgoods on these are a potental nightmare.
>>5807952
Man, fuck, we already have a Rey figure
>>5807952
It wont sell, Hasbro will drop the fan's choice.
>>5806641
You got your qui gonn
>>5807952
Good choice if Mara can't win, fug star killer.
>>5807964
Fuck both of em I wanted Dengar
>>5807952
I mean, I voted for her because the other choices were
>The guy who waited until the last minute to think of his bounty hunter halloween costume so he had to be a mummy
>Mr. and Mrs. Edgelord
>Early 90's protowaifu
>guy from a series I never watched
Young jedi knights books were my jam when I was a kid though, so I'll pick her up.
>>5807952
Finally.
Next step is Mara.
>>5807952
So, literally rigged, right?
>>5807942
Well shit, glad I haven't sold Darth Maul.
Lando looks amazing tho, fuck yeah.
>>5807910
Rumor based on one artist's opinions which he later walked back. Never confirmed anywhere.
>>5807977
But she's worthless without Jacen.
>>5808000
I mean kylo is pretty much Jacen: the Later Years.
If only he came with a tiny little bottle of gin. Would be perfect.
>>5808004
One could use either Rey or the Rogue 1 girl as a Jaina stand in, and Kylo Ren as a Jacen, Starkiller, or Revan stand in.
Can't use anyone to stand in for Darth Talon, though.
>>5808005
I had that same idea as well
>>5808013
No offense, but I'm still coming to terms with the idea that people actually liked her design. This is like in the revoltech thread where everyone was voting for the titty monsters with ripped clothes and cum effects to get rereleases.
>>5807983
It has to be fake. There are not 40,000 die hard EU fans who also collect 6" Black series. No way.
>>5807983
yes, she received 25K votes in a few hours.
>>5808023
The Legacy comics were pretty good, and Darth Talon combined the look of Darth Maul with a modern primitive look, the ferocity of a Pict Warrior, and the sensuality inherit with the Twi'leks. She's more like a Sith Wonder Woman than an exploitative design.
Really, try the Legacy comics. They're no longer canon, but set about 100 years after what TFA is, so they can still work, plus it's a pretty solid stand-alone series.
>>5807952
Really think this shit is rigged. Talon And Starkiller were leading up until comic con. Kinda pisses me off. But eh what did any of us really expect? That Disney would put out a scantily clad Twi Lek? Yeah no let's get the original Rey in there instead. Fucking shame. And yes I'm mad.
>>5805058
This and Biggs
>>5808051
>They're no longer canon, but set about 100 years after what TFA is
It still block because of the main character is Luke and Mara's Ancestor.
But like you said, it's very solid. Every one should read it, caring about canon or not is a childish thing.
>>5802720
That looks actually quite good.
>>5802988
Gay Droids?
>>5808089
This. I know they wanted a fresh start but they could have let people still write Legends stuff. Legacy was really good. So were the Old Republic books. But you know, Disney doesn't care about that.
So apparently Hasbro showed off a new RC AT-AT toy for Rogue One that can be controlled with your phone
>>5807836
Depends, do you want Phase One or Phase Two?
>>5808138
>So were the Old Republic books.
I would buy day one a book about Lana Beniko during the 5 year gap we had with KOTFE.
I really hope the new canon will create a new era, they just do eponymous books and comics book series.
>>5808145
Phase one numbah one
>>5808032
EU is more popular than Disney's attempts.
>>5807927
Fucking FINALLY
>>5807964
This. Fuck people who legit wanted Starkiller.
>>5808138
It's also because Legacy and stuff was created by Dark Horse comics, and now, it's marvel who got the rights.
Sadly, Marvel don't want to take any risk with their comics.
>>5808200
Fuck you, Starkiller'd make an awesome six inch.
>>5808231
Starkiller and "awesome" don't belong in the same sentence.
>>5808231
I voted for Jaina because of that kind of shitposting.
Starkillers fag are usually butthurted neckbeards.
>>5808231
Well actually, TFU (only the first one) had a good story and good characters.
But Starkiller is a terrible character, and just a Kratos rip off without personality.
>>5808243
Sorry you're a hopeless piece of shit, anon.
>>5808283
Starkiller was fine as a character. Not the greatest character, but better than 'just a Kratos".
And his costumes, especially his bad end Darth costumes, are visually interesting enough to make great figures. Far better figures than Mara and Jaina would be.
>>5808201
Fuck no they won't. They rather do what Disney is doing and try and add lore to the OT. Or cringy ass scenes that they claim are "fan service". Seriously. You're telling me shit like this or Luke facing Vader before Empire is better than Legacy or Dark Times? Yeah uh no thanks.
>>5808313
what the fuck is this cancer that can't be real
>>5808313
>two handing almost weightless swords that need no force behind them to cut
It always confused me
>>5808442
They literally aren't real things, we have no clue how they work.
>>5808442
>Weightless laser swords that can effortlessly cut anything but certain pieces of scenery in half.
You bet I'm gonna hold that shit with both hands.
>>5808432
Lighten up, it's a fun little moment in the context of the comic. And it's not like it's in the film or anything.
>>5807938
When and where to pre-order???
>>5807927
damn, that's smooth
>>5807938
Guess I have to get Grandpa Munster now, was hoping I could hold out for a figuarts.
>>5808456
did the TIE Fighter pilots have no blasters?
>>5808313
How do they justify everyone having a lightsaber in a time period where having any sort of jedi artifact or memorable would certainly mean death?
>>5808567
The scene itself is stupid but the context is that they got them from a Hutt crime lord who collects Jedi artifacts (why would a Hutt be scared of Imperial law?) and those are the only weapons they have available.
>>5808177
Well the Figuarts are really nice, and still available at places like Mandarake for ~Â¥3500. The best thing about them is the accurate matte eggshell white finish, every white part is fully painted. Articulation is decent (the hips slide down the thigh swivel slightly, this fixes the big complaints with them) and they come with two guns each.
The model kits have slightly better articulation (although the elbows are still limited to 90 degrees, come with both helmets and two guns. That said, you obviously have to build it yourself, the fit and finish isn't as seamless as previous kits and the armour is glossy.
Personally I like the Figuarts for their finish and sturdiness.
>>5808621
I dunno, it just feels odd in an era where the jedi genocide just occurred, but then again in the EU they're constantly adding more and more jedi, so I guess its cool. Honestly Disney buying Star Wars is the best thing that has happened to the property in years because most of the time they're able to do neat things with it.
>>5808078
I'm surprised they haven't done this, since all they need to do is make a new head, and put it on the Luke body.
And repaint the helmet. Thats it.
I want Hasbro or Disney to shit themselves now that Jaina won. "Uhh, uhhh, we can't label that thing a "Solo" that'll raise too many questions! Our purified empire must have no detractors! I-It's only Ben Solo! That's it! That's all there ever was! LIES ALL LIES! HSSSSS!"
>>5807952
So boring, but none of the other choices were that good
>>5808691
I don't think they'll have much of a problem. This figure will probably get scalped to hell and back so there's no chance that a kid will pick it up in the store and be confused by this weird Solo kid who's not in the movies.
>>5808672
Really? There's plenty of people throughout the world that collect Nazi uniforms and artefacts. Its really not much different to that.
>>5808706
Well I mean owning nazi memrobellia in the United State isn't illegal on its own, but if you pulled out a lightsaber on Couruscant or something, I think Vader would come knocking.
>>5808714
He does, hence the point of the story, right? Empire trying to wipe out any vestiges of Jedi anything
>>5808733
Yeah but then he kinda threw all that crap in the trash with the prequels
>inb4 Jedi in their prime
newfag here, I wanted to get a nice Boba Fett figure, say under 100 bucks, what's the one you guys would suggest?
>>5808924
What do you want out of it?
You want something that looks proportionate and screen-accurate and is good for static "museum" poses? Get the Black Series.
Want really dynamic, action-filled poses and don't mind it looking a little skinny? Revoltech is good.
There's the Bandai model if you're into building, but you might need to paint him to look his best.
Figuarts isn't out yet, but whenever they get to it, it will probably be the best all-around. Bandai's Movie Realization version is nice for a showpiece with crazy aesthetics.
>when the 3.75 5POA gets a better likeness than the 6 inch
>>5809411
Looks like Noomi Rapace
Closest i ever came to army building and so far it's being lots of fun!
I do need some good guy for them to arrest, torture and kill though...
>>5810064
Plenty of Finns out there for you.
>>5809411
>Are you supposed to paint human faces?
>i rebel
>>5810186
Yeah, maybe a Stormtrooper Finn so that it can joying the ranks when not acting like a traitor.
>>5807958
YES
Anybody getting the Mafex Boba Fett?
>>5810497
Waiting for reviews. Even if it does suck, I'll probably still get the RotJ version
>>5810670
At a scalper's store on eBay real soon...
>>5810670
I'd wager we won't see these till next year, or late this year. I'm guessing Force Friday in September will be used to push the Rogue One line of figures, maybe the Revan release too.
Digging the Kylo's hood on the s cond Black Series edition.
>>5802213
Is this final?
>>5813030
Considering it's from a review and the figure has been released for a few days, no, not at all
I miss when Star Wars reveals were exciting. Hasbro's Marvel Legends has more exciting reveals almost every month now. It's insane.
>All that bitching on collector sites about Jaina Solo fans choice
>Thanks for saving me money!1!!
>"40,000 people who don't even care about Star Wars action figures just got something they probably won't even buy."
Do these niggers seriously think this won't sell? Jesus Christ. Just how delusional are OT babies? EU shit and video game shit has always done well.
>>5807938
literally the only worthwhile release.
>>5802988
I can only recognize the brown one as Plo Koons astromech and the pink one from the season 5 droids arc of TCW. Are the others even from comics or games? The blue one is especially horrendous.
>>5813615
Nostalgia goggles are pretty blinding.
>>5807932
Where's her sword?
>>5808924
There are two Mafex Bobas coming out, I am wondering if one of them is worth it. 3PO and R2 were really badly made and broke out of the box, Vader and Stormtrooper had fucked up sculpts. What are the chances that they fuck up yet another release? At least the outfit and sculpt looks perfect.
>>5813615
>I fail to see how an un-canoned character that only appeared in SW novels & comics that only nerds read, and has a boring, nondescript appearance that normies would confuse with Rey, wouldn't fly off store shelves.
Fixed that for ya.
And call me a paranoid /pol/tard, but doesn't this whole fans choice poll surprise win reek of SJW-vote rigging? It's not the first time something like this has happened. Just seems kind of fishy that a "strong, non-sexualized woman who don't need no man" won over fanservice badass edgelords & sith waifus.
>>5808714
>Well I mean owning nazi memrobellia in the United State isn't illegal on its own, but if you pulled out a lightsaber on Couruscant or something
They aren't on Couruscant. They're on Nar Shadda, the underbelly of the underworld. Wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Besides, the Hutt crime lord was busted, as it turns out his number 2 guy was an undercover Imperial agent investigating him for just that reason, of having a huge collection of Jedi artifacts.
He heard about Luke Skywalker, a Jedi in training, and thought he could add him to his collection. He made him fight in his arena where there was an energy field that made blasters useless. So when the crew came to rescue Luke, the only weapons they could use were the lightsabers from Grakkus' collection.
>>5814156
>>5813813
>And call me a paranoid /pol/tard, but doesn't this whole fans choice poll surprise win reek of SJW-vote rigging?
>a thing I don't like won over a thing I do like, could it be a feminist conspiracy?
I mean, all signs sort of point to you being a paranoid /pol/tard? Angela won hasbro's last fan poll on the marvel side and she's at least as much of bare-assed edgy titty waifu as talon was. I doubt they stepped on the brakes at the last second at the prospect of making a half naked woman action figure, when they're literally in the process of doing it already.
>>5814164
I think what makes people suspicious is just how fucking quickly she suddenly accumulated votes and shot into first place.
>>5810064
Took them outside today.

Angela was the only female in the Marvel fan's choice 4 way poll. That's not much of a choice if you're a GRRRL power voter.
>a thing I don't like won over a thing I do like, could it be a feminist conspiracy?
I voted for Mara Jade. She's better than Ms. Sith Fanservice or female Luke Skywalker.
>>5814176
Yeah, the polls were going strongly for Starkiller & Talon right up until Friday when there was a flood of votes for Jaina, tipping the vote in her favor. Of course StarWars.com can't check ALL the individual IP's with one number off that were voting for Jaina on the last day.

kek, my exact thought while taking those pics.
>>5814258
They'll probably just make all of them anyway.
>>5814286
That pitifully out of scale phasma rifle
>>5814336
That's what I was thinking, considering they've already announced 5 of the 7 from the first poll
Opinions on JediTempleArchives? Better than the faggots on rebelscum
>>5813813
She's a better character than Kylo Ren has been.
>>5814418
You mean the faggots that whine constantly about how 3.75 inch gets no love?
>>5814255
>Can't hold rifles properly
I just cant....
Good pictures man, don't get me wrong. It's just that these BS figures are such a letdown.
>>5814463
Fuck off Peon.
>>5802224
>unmasked Kylo rerelease
>>5813813
I am fairly certain it was just Jaina fags or people protest voting her because they wanted something from the EU but not Darth Icky and another joint-exposing abomination for the worst kind of nerd to masturbate on.
I went for Mara Jade. I have never read a story with her, she just feels like the most natural and interesting EU character from the four we could choose from. I really expected more people to vote for her. At least to have her beat Dengar and Rex who are going to get figures anyway instead of being dead last with 9%. Wish SJWs had rigged the poll in favour of Mara.
>>5814601
SJWs don't like Mara for obvious reasons.
>>5814440
3.75SA, and they're not wrong.
>>5814631
Is her being married to Luke already a trigger for these people?
>>5814474
What? I am sort of a newfag so I'm not really in the know of this peon-meme.
Anyways, I stand by my comment. And I do have BS figures and not all of them are bad it's just that the single-jointed elbow really hinders proper rifle posing---which is what imperials do 99% of the time.
>>5802720
damnnnnnn
>>5814643
They've had the past 10 years for that, and they got the main cast of TFA anyway, so let the 6 inch get the spotlight for a little while. I'm sure the scale will rise to the top again and we'll see tons of lines retreading the films to scoop up cash.
>>5814418
>Opinions on JediTempleArchives?
Absolutely trash. Go to the Jaina Solo article for some good laughs.
>>5814661
>What? I am sort of a newfag so I'm not really in the know of this peon-meme.
Nice try, Peon. Your shitposting gets more and more transparent every day.
>>5802224
>single jointed elbows
Someone should really scream this out in their panels. Or at least get a straight answer why they stopped doing those.
>>5815370
Double jointed elbows were never a prominent thing in the line, 3 of the 4 figures in the first wave had single joints. And they still throw them on a figure every once in a while, farmboy Luke had them and he was released just a few months back. People just need to face the fact that they're cheap and have to find some way to save money from doing brand new sculpts constantly
>>5815375
It feels less like they're cheap and more they only give double joints to figures they feel they can "hide" them on.
I have an Emperor Palpatine BS figure and for whatever reason he has double jointed elbows despite him being a frail old man who doesn't really need them. Farmboy Luke certainly needs them more than he does but again I feel they're only there because the cloth is able to hide the joints.
I don't know what on Earth compels them to think like that but it seems like they do.
Still doesn't explain why they didn't splash for double jointed elbows on the Force Awakens Stormtrooper despite the OT Stormtrooper and Clone Trooper having double joints though.
>>5815393
For me personally, I don't mind single joints as long as 90 degrees is achievable. The FO troopers were appalling in that regard
>>5815393
I can't quite recall where I read or heard it, but apparently it's a mandate by Disney for the sculpts not to have double joints in order to preserve the likenesses better.
Maybe this has to do with actor likenesses for the most part. Look at the new Jessica Jones and Punisher from the Netflix MLs, they too both have single elbows. For Jess sure for whatever reason their current females don't have double jointed arms (though the 3.75" do occasionally) but they have the trench coat body and it has double elbows.
I would assume it's either some sort of mandate to try to preserve the sculpt or just at the sculptor's discretion.
>>5815358
Ok lil man, I guess this is just a thing here.
>>5815399
>but apparently it's a mandate by Disney for the sculpts not to have double joints in order to preserve the likenesses better.
Why would they care? How do joints effect the likenesses so much for Disney to form a mandate?
>>5802720
When can I hotglue this?
>>5803824
I think the last thread about the figure proved that those who defended the figure are sunkcostanons and people who've never seen the figure in person.
I got luke in. He's great. My only complaint is that he doesn't have a hand that can hold a blaster.
>>5816304
Got him too. Can agree he's great.
I don't like the articulation on his arms that much, so I wish he was like $10 cheaper, but he's still pretty good.
>>5816304
This really makes me wonder why Black Series decided on soft goods. Isn't it cheaper and easier to do sculpted clothing? I get soft goods robes etc, but it's not like this sculpt limits articulation.
>>5816345
I have no idea. Soft goods only really make sense when the character is in full robes and doing molded plastic would make articulation severely limited. Doing soft goods just for a shirt? Nonsense.
>>5816304
The Hot Toys is much better display wise, but this guy looks like a lot more fun as far as posability goes. It's a shame about the shit face application though.
>>5816355
The face application is totally fine on mine. The smiling face particularly.
>>5816352
It's sad too because Maul was one of their best figures and he was completely plastic. I was looking forward to a Emperor but he looks like the Robot Chicken version with his shitty cloth cloak.
>>5816304
Can you at least do something unique or interesting with it instead of just standing him there and posting for the sake of posting?
>>5816370
Sure, totally. I normally do a series of posts with a photo box for you guys when new figures come out, so, I dunno, calm your tits and maybe not complain for the sake of complaining?
>>5816304
Why is his hair gold? Jesus.
>>5816373
kys fagott
>>5814983
How about you choke on a dick. 3 inch is the way the line should have stayed, it's what Star Wars started as, it's how it should have continued.
>>5816374
Simulates his shiny dark blonde hair without either going brown or blonde like a lot of figures do. Not the best, but not terrible.
>>5814463
They hold blasters just fine. He's just shit at posing.
Yeah I'd have been fine with soft goods skirt but sculpted torso and arms. Same goes for Leia. Old Ben would have been great with a cloth skirt too and weird that Qui Gon has a fully sculpted skirt instead of what we've seen on RotS Anakin and Obi.
>>5816383
Star Wars fans are cannibals. They're never happy.
>>5807791
I need the darth starkiller figure though
>>5816635
>Star Wars fans are cannibals.
I doubt there are more than a few actual Star Wars fans on /toy/.
No one here seems to know anything about Star Wars.
I want better articulated 3.75 figures
>>5816304
Where are your piss jars?
>>5816764
I guess it's hay fever season on Tatooine.

Did anyone get the SDCC Jyn Erso and do you like it?
>>5808313

>>5806110
Dat comfy chief
>>5808924
You'll have to do some assembly and painting but the 1/12 Bandai kit is amazing.
>>5802206
That's how i feel, especially since i just got ROTJ luke fairly recently
Well fuck me, guess I'm not getting it
>>5818214
>anon asks for figure suggestions
>autist suggests model kit
>>5817909
Looks more like an intense footjob.
>>5802187
Would /toy/ recommend SH Figuarts First Order Troopers?
>>5818835
They're great. I only have that one and a couple of the black series so I donno about the model kit, but the figuarts is a really good option. Good to great articulation, especially in the torso, great paintjob, and the way the pouches are hinged is a pretty good solution to them just getting in the way of every other stormtrooper I've bought. My biggest problem is that he has really tiny feet that are also curved upward, which makes him a bitch to stand sometimes.
>>5818835
Yeah, if you want female troopers
>>5816764
Looks like fucking shit
Articulation is greatly increased thanks to the ball joints connecting the forearms to the robe. Makes hitting certain lightsaber poses easy as pie.
>>5818926
No one gives a shit about your attention-seeking opinion.
>>5818948
Is the pelvis section made of hard plastic or rubbery? Jedi Luke's hips were kinda ass cuz of the hard plastic used.
>>5819041
Harder plastic than obi-wans skirt but still bendable for articulations sake. It also has slits on the sides that help with this
sure wish the droid didn't come with that stap by default...
took them this long to release poe's x-wing shown last year
How the fuck did this short, puffy, horse-faced Stormtrooper reach such high prices?
>>5819199
Because he's one of the first figures produced and there arent that many, with that being said you have to know where to look. I got mine for 3200 yen on manda about a month or two ago.
BTW I checked, ANH Luke's head does not fit on the SHF OT Trooper.
>>5818948
maybe i shouldnt have gotten rotj luke
>>5819199
Didn't even realize, I should just sell mine off. Fuck that POS.
>>5819199
weeaboos, and they don't actually care about quality, as long as it's japanese.
>>5818894
Does it scale well with BS troopers?
>>5819432
Up to you.
>>5819199
It's a pretty solidly-made figure and it looks better in person.
Plus it was the second figure in the line, and demand has far outstripped supply.
>>5819431
Yeah, I know. If only they would buy clearly superior Hasbroshit. Top quality, shit mang.
Are Black series really posable?
Contemplating getting some.
>>5819776
>Are Black series really posable?
Yes.
>>5819778
Any vehicles that would be suitable?
I'd like something not star wars but my self imposed rules can be broken.
>>5819787
I wouldn't know, but there is a Black Series speeder bike.
Furniture for 6 inch figures? Where can I either find it or make my own?
Anywhere to get cheap black series I'm poor faggot and 20 bucks is just too much imo.
Particularly pegwarmers and those scalpers fucks who get best characters.
>>5819151
I hope they do a Battle Droid Two-Pack for the price of a Stormtrooper or Sandtrooper after some months. I don't really care for STAPs as well and could have lived without it but I appreciate any 1/12 scale vehicle.
I can't wait for when they finally do a Droideka and Super Battle Droid. Magna Guards would also be fine.
>>5819824
try used figures in the BST thread, garage sales, or local thrift shops.
>>5819776
Fuck no, unless it has double jointed albows, which only a few do. Most BlacK Series can't even hold a weapon with two hands unless fuckery is involved.
>>5807836
the only issue i have with the storm trooper kits are the heads can be kind of loose
>>5819776
To some degree, there are poses that just don't work, but overall i like them.
There are some BS figures with more articulation, there are also some other brands with very artculated figures.
>>5820539
They getting drunk on space napalm? I like it. I should get some more only have Kylo,Flametrooper and Pilot.
Might get a motorcycle and pose my pilot to look like a biker shooting forward.
>>5819776
You'd be better of with the bandai kit or a figuarts.
Just ordered this bad boy and it's currently shipping to me. Any other FX collectors order Luke's Green ROTJ lightsaber?
>>5823110
Where did you order from? I preordered on bigbad and it still says its only slated for 3rd quarter of this year.
>>5823110
I have anakins / his blue one that i got many years ago from sharper image (it's a master replica). I'd like to get the ROTJ one but id prefer something you could battle with
>>5824047
eBay. Apparently hasbro was selling them early at SDCC and a couple more cons and toy expos or something like that
