First for part 7 hopefully never, let this company die.
>Hand peg snapped off when swapping hands on Za Warudo
Thank god for super glue but I'm still retarded and will probably never be able to move his hand again
>>6048352
at least you were able to glue yours back on, I had to make due by crafting a hook hand out of tinfoil
>>6035464
Sorry for the late reply but found a few interesting choices but it was in the stand book instead.
I wouldn't pull it past Medicos to do a pink D4C but this one is a nice mixup of the blues that D4C has but the black shoulders and purple accents gives a really nice combo of colors that mesh.
>>6048784
I need a daily dose tusk in my life
>>6048105
Fuck you faggot I need Gyro, D4C and Valentine in my life
Johnny can fall off his horse though
>Emporio with Weather Report never
>Hol Horse never
>Anyone beyond Gappy from Part 8 probably never
>>6048796
I need Johnny to complete the jojo collection.
>>6048105
So what? So you have an incomplete collection and have to hope Figma, S.H. Figuarts or Revoltech picks up Jojo?
And then what? You'll have figures that do not fit with each other at all and the likelihood of one of those companies doing more than 3 or 4 figures is small.
>>6048796
>Hol Horse will never get an SAS
Why must I suffer
At least I can anticipate Valentine and D4C.
>>6048105
>Not wanting to army build Mr. Valentine
This guy likes to do reputable acts for a high price.
>>6048959
>mfw I'll buy at least 4 valentines assuming he's released
>>6048990
>assuming
They will probably finish Part 7 but if they are within limits then they would probably make it a rather thin release with Johnny, Gyro, and Valentine with their respective stands (Or we enter a Weather Report situation with only aspects of the stands being represented and the stand itself being omitted for release)
It's a bigger question if they would actually pull through on RWBY being the newest IP choice since they are scheduled for 4 figures instead of the 3 round release like Tokyo Ghoul and Drifters. I won't be shocked if they decide to cancel but then again I don't know much of the RWBY community over in Japan.
Baoh is really a oddity but someone did mention that Medicos is changing up tactics and just limiting his release to purely WF and lottery since those willing to collect are much smaller in number.
>>6049014
Why the fuck is this garbage popular?
>>6049014
I think the reason RWBY is getting 4 instead of 3 is because, well, there are 4 main characters or whatever, whereas for Tokyo Ghoul and Drifters, that isn't really the case. Kaneki is the only one who really assumes a main role, and with Drifters, it's those three.
>>6049022
I always figured the red chick was the main character and everyone else was off to the side. Makes sense then so I can't blame Medicos
>>6049018
Beause Japan likes it. Rip Monty#
>>6048824
None of them fit together as it is, have you seen the part 3 figures lately.
>>6048097
Holy shit when does this come out? Baoh is my shit
>>6049259
WF and this time it's an exclusive only release at the event/lottery.
So start lurking Mandarake for those early sales when people sell them.
>>6048662
>za wARRRRRRRRudo
Im sorry, but seriously I would appreciate it if you could make an eyepatch and post pics
>>6048097
>Baoh is a WF exclusive
Go fuck yourselves, Medicos.
>>6049261
>a unique mold/character as a WF exclusive
Fucking hell, I didn't expect Medicos to go down this route. Welp, if they don't want us buying Baoh, then I guess they can have it their way.
>>6049529
we all say this now, but we will all fold under the pressure.
>>6049672
I'm already anticipating YAJ and Mandarake to stock up at some point. Maybe I'll get Pucci but I have to see a WF White Snake or White Snake 2nd for general release.
>>6049677
When did SF have those awkward heels?
This is my list which will be posted unto you.
>>6049677
What's book in the pic?
Just got two new additions to my small collection. Since I don't have the World or Star Platinum nor a large shelf this is the best pose I can think of. Any recommendations?
>>6049868
The stand book included in both editions of Jojoveller covering Parts 3-8. Mind you it only covers part 8 stands around the time Jojoveller was released. There's also a history of Araki's Mangas included so it's a really beefy artbook package.
>>6049883
Dio is pretty stiff so maybe try to make to make it look like he's in motion to throw the knife. Also try to place the other knifes in his belt to enhance his display.
>>6049930
Where would be a good place to pick up JOJOVELLER?
Amazon has it up for like 140$
>>6049930
>Stand stats never again
Mista just came, but I can't fit his gun into what I assume is his gun-holding hand. Knowing SASs, I'm terrified that I'm going to break it if I force it at all. I also can't fit any of the pegs into the freefloating Sex Pistol. What do?
>>6049933
Honestly I don't know. I've heard YAJ can get you good deals but I heard artbook shipping can take a bite out of the wallet. I only got mine through a Kinokuniya in my city and that was $150 for the standard "mailbox" edition. I think Manda's SAHRA store can estimate the shipping on each type if they have it in stock so it can give an idea but I'm sure anon's can put up better plans. It's pretty hefty given all the content and the difference in the limited edition is the fancy box and Blu-Rays.
>>6049950
I'm fine with that, they never had any consistency anyway and were just there to appeal to the shonen/power level crowd.
>>6049933
You can get it on Mandarake for less than that, though I'm not sure how much shipping would be.
I was really tempted to grab this, but there's a used Okuyasu on mandy for 6k.
http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1055122691&ref=doc
Hope someone here gets it.
>>6049930
Thanks for the advice, anon. Tried to have a little more motion, but those knives are some sensitive fuckers.

>>6050062
Haha, that's pretty good. I'd go with L.A. Guns, personally.
>>6050201
There are all sorts of containers that you can find in dollar stores or crafts stores.
Not my photo, but it's the same container that I use. I don't receive all of my SAS in-box, so I store the accessories in one place.
>>6050281
Hey, neat
>>6050197
Im fucking torn on blue and White Bruno. Was planning on white for manga accuracy but photos like these and EOH are making me think blue.
>>6050201
I keep them in the boxes.
Is Giorno 2nd the reason why GER WF ver is going for 6k now? I remember seeing him for 2.5k-3k yen not that long ago.
>>6050547
It could just be the shops.
>>6050281

>>6050807
True(Though I wish they stuck to the original color choice)
They probably find it easier to handle stand designs and recolors rather than take a shot for articulated villains that aren't the main ones. Though all I hear is Japanese don't really collect antagonists as much unless it was certain ones that create a large fanbase.
>>6050201
Ziplock bags in a file cabinet located beside my display. I keep the heads in dimebags to avoid scuffing and paint transfers unless the head has its own container.

>>6049974
I bit the bullet a few months ago and ordered the different JoJo artbooks from one of the storefronts (Nagano, I think) and the EMS shipping itself was $112. Was pretty high, but I didn't want to risk my expensive books getting wrecked in transit. If anon can find a place that will ship it free, anon'll probably be doing good. It's a great book.
>>6050201
I use pic related. Part1+2 are in the first organizer (with one of the crossbows having to be stored up in the top with my spare stands and instructional shit) then P4 has its own, P5 has its own and I think Bruno shares space with the P6 SAS.
>>6050908
I love your pictures, can i get a Diavolo and KC posing at any P5 crew you have?
Are we ever gonna get C-Moon?
>>6050954

Yeah, I did. The inner "wall" panels aren't removable though, unlike some other containers.
Fuck I always get tricked by these pictures.
I kinda want to preorder white kira and kq but fuck man, the only part 4 figs I have are Josuke and Crazy D and when I got Josuke I was really disappointed by his size, especially his head.
Could somebody post a picture of KQ and Kira standing next to Diavolo or Anasui? Like just standing straight and close, side to side, no bullshit no perspective tricks. It would be very helpful.
for example, here >>6051222 the world looks HUGE but I have a p3 Jotaro and he's a fucking manlet, so is he actually that big or is it a ruse?
>>6051169
Are you ever scared they'll fall off the edge?

>tfw WF Pucci just comes with an onomatopoeia
I thought we'd at least get a pre-C Moon Pucci head or something...
>>6051290
I'll post up a shot later tonight. I got both Anasui and Diavolo so I'll throw both in. Also Jotaro and The World but to answer your question P3 has aged in terms of how scaling goes but comparing the two in neutral standing, The World is a little bigger and stands taller than Jotaro (1.5 ver.)
>>6051960
>>6051290
Hope I got this right since I tried to level my camera as best I could. Sorry for the lack of a ruler to further show height differences.
>>6052224
I swear Jotaro is a pain to do this sort of thing without falling over.
>>6052228
Last one since I noticed Kira's height differences when I actually compare them like this.
>>6052246
This is a Japanese man you're talking about. He's lucky to not be in the same height club as Koichi and Tamami.
>>6050943
Not him but you helped me a lot, thanks. IΒ΄ll get some of those things because of space issues here at my room.
Unfortunately IΒ΄ll get rid of the boxes
Yasuho/Park when?
>>6052309
Kira's mom has to be white, no full-blooded Japanese person looks like David Bowie
>>6052362
Paisley Park has a perfect design for a figure, how come they haven't made one yet?
>>6051960
>>6052224
>>6052229
>>6052228
Thanks for taking the time to do this, I really appreciate it. KQ looks nice despite barely making it in height but Kira just looks so sad when compared to newer figures. I kind of want kq but I hate having stands without users. Maybe I could pair it with gappy. The World's size is surprisingly good, I always expected it to be much shorter, might end up getting one in the end. Thanks a lot again!
>>6050908
looks qual. is that reissue?
>>6051196
Do you have work/always lived there or did you just move cause its great for taking pics of your toys? if you don't mind me asking.
What color Josuke goes best with green Crazy Diamond?
>>6053265
Take a shot which one looks best.
>>6053290
I'm still so fucking mad that Josuke's smiling face is WF exclusive. Why do they do this shit?
>>6053293
I guess as an incentive that goes beyond a soundplate. WF GER and WF Killer Queen have the same deal.
>>6053293
It's not though, pink josuke comes with it.
>>6053338
I don't want pink josuke though
>>6052562
Gappy and Soft and Wet came out early to promote part 8, we don't even have part 7 figs yet. Wait a few years sempai, hopefully Medicos is doing better by then because I want them and all the Higashikatas
What is everyone's opinion on the single worst SAS, and the single best SAS? I'm curious.
>>6053597
1st edition Jotaro is the worst without a doubt. The best would probably be Kira 2nd, Silver Chariot, or Diavolo.
>>6053626
Of the meager 8 that I have, I would agree that SC is best. It basically hits every metric of figure enjoyment perfectly.
>>6053597
>single worst
Jotaro 1st or Shu here.
>single best
I still vote Aijin/IBM as my top SAS pick but Part IV Star Platinum is awfully close. IBM's range of movement is greatly benefited by his lanky proportions and double jointed areas and the pistol is nicely sculpted and painted. Plus you have 3 nice head options even though I can't see many use the "flat" head often. If Shinichi had swappable double jointed elbows and better feet articulation I'll vote him up higher.

As people have said, Jotaro 1st for missing the mark so badly. My personal vote goes to Soft and Wet though.
>>6053812
Jotaro 1st is the black one, but he comes with pic related's head. There was a 1.5 that came with an updated head.
>>6053812
Black.
1.5 edition Black Jotaro fixes the issues 1st Jotaro had.
>>6053791
It doesn't even look good, kek
I'm aware that it's rare but that thing is so not worth that much
>>6053799
>Soft and Wet
Sadly I think I have to agree
It's my favorite Stand, and it looks good visually, but the articulation is fucking garbage
>>6053791
It's funny because that seems a bit steep for The World. Great price for that KQ though, relatively speaking.
Speaking of that KQ, does it come with a clear Stray Cat?
>>6053597
>single worst
Gotta go with Tsukiyama Shu.
>single best
Hmh, difficult. I really like Shinichi. Articulation is fine and the accessories are cool. I like Kaneki too, because if you know how to fiddle around with joints, you can fix his one limitation (range of motion of leg), but he's far from the best, or most flashy, or
The IBM is good, but a simple design.
I think I'd have to go with Joseph. Good articulation, good sculpt and paint (although I wish the blue version had been the exclusive, rather than the current WF one), fair amount of accessories, nice price and you don't need to buy a stand to go with him, although one might argue that Caesar is a mandatory partner.
>>6054180
>one might argue that Caesar is a mandatory partner
>Caesar
>mandatory
To be honest I can't see anyone arguing this
>>6053791
That's because it is near it's expiring date. Figures (especially translucent ones) starts to plasticize & deteriorate after a few years. Enjoy watching your toys rots before your eyes.
>>6054192
WHY CAN'T THIS WORLD HAVE NICE THINGS
>>6054116
Those are both Killer Queen.
And yeah, Clear KQ comes with clear blue everything the regular KQ comes with, including Stray Cat.
>>6054192
I don't think that's the reason. I have the clear World and mine's just fine.
I just think it's because time has passed, and so has the hype. Loads of other limited stuff has come out since, in even smaller numbers (like the crystal ones limited to ten) and people just don't see it as worth it's original price anymore.
It's still relatively high price because there's still just 25 of them so it still has some kind of scarcity.
>>6054187
Joseph without Caesar might feel odd to some. Does to me.
worst for me is koichi and echoes act 3 very limited articulations. as for favorite I guess Joseph and Kira Queen.
>>6054205
Oh wow, I didn't even notice that. Goddamn.
And thanks, that sounds pretty cool.
>>6053242
no, giorno second just came out.
If you could pick a new colorway to an old release, what would it be? If we ever see a Kira Third I hope it's pic related.
>>6054679
1. what the fuck happened to this poor image
2. Recolors of old releases are far from wanted right now, since part 6 didn't even get it's full cast and Medicos is jumping the gun to other franchises too early
3. A color of Stone Free to somehow match WF jolyne's ugliness would be nice, that or a purple/black Whitesnake for Poochie.
>>6054691
>1.
What is wrong with it? Looks normal here.
>2.

>>6054679
These for Stone Free.
>>6054711
Looks like someone added a shitty filter to it.
>>6054830
you're right, this looks much better
>>6052307
They're really handy. I'll probably end up getting another since I still need to round off my P5 crew. I have another one dedicated to my figuarts. It's pretty nice to be able to section off the heads/hands/accessories to prevent some paint transfer, but have to store larger stuff like soundplates up in the top.

>>6055332
Bruno
>>6055352
Good to know, thanks
>>6053694
Crazy diamond is top tier
>>6055598
Eh, he's good but Aijin and SPIV were generally more pleasant for me. Plus I always dug how Medicos worked over the shoulderpads on Star Platinum to have their own joints so they aren't tied to the mold and gives a little extra to the arm movement. The only thing lacking was just accessories which is understandable but I appreciate the addition of that wooden piece for a SHA display. Crazy Diamond is fun but I only pose him as much as any other SAS that isn't my top picks.
>>6053791
I always think of when baldy ordered this and the box was busted to shit.
Good times...don't see him around anymore...
>>6051169

>>6056141
Hah, the more I look at it the more I see that! His open palm isn't close enough to his face, so it looks less like he's covering his face and more like he's too shy to ask Kira for directions.

I tried
SAS General, I need your expertise. After six years, my original Dio fucking broke. Broke right off at the neck peg. I don't know whether it was the inclement weather in the new place I'm living or what the fuck caused the plastic to stress, but it doesn't matter.
Does anyone here know how close the rerelease Dio is to the original? Paint apps, size, etc.? I know some of the rereleases have differed, like Josuke's for example. And also, is there a way to tell the rerelease from the original on the box or something?
>>6057485
No way in terms of box, but the faces are totally different. Dio isn't really smirking in the reissue just a blank expression. Also the smiling face that shows teeth has this weird mark on the side as if they wanted to accent the fact that he's smiling. He's also noticeably paler than the original and the colors are alot lighter in skin tone.
>>6057559
The first release had those smirking lines too.
>>6057559
>No way in terms of box
I don't know about Dio, but at least Polnareff, Kakyoin and Old Joseph's original boxes had a matte finish to them while the rereleases had glossy ones, same for Josuke
Loose clear Killer Queen for 30,000 here:
http://page19.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/x468327759
Somehow it seems like the previous owner was dumb enough to ditch the box. I know there are collectors who don't keep them, but come on.
Oh he's got The World too.
http://page24.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q137801830

It be nice to get the WonFes Enrico Pucci but i'm not heads over heels for it and willing to spend money on a middle man.
>>6058206

It's going to end up on Mandy but give it a few months for the initial price to go down to something reasonable. Will probably beat the asking price+middleman costs.
>>6058193
Haha, kinda cool. Spikes/ears would have to be changed, though.
These hands came with part 4 Jotaro. Is this normal? Sorry for shit quality I can try and take a better pic later

They're to make it seem like his hands are in the pockets of his coat.
>>6058213
don't expect it to go down, since it's pretty much limited in amount. so it might even go up than go down.

>>6058288
WFGER managed to hit 6k from a couple of listings I saw and he debuted in a few shops initially at 9k. WF figures can go down if a shop decides to, that's how I got my 8500 WF Joseph after they priced jumped some recent WF Joseph's to 13k+

>>6059186
>Man, I wish they would re-release Phantom Blood figures in the correct scale.
You mean re-release Stardust Crusaders figures in the correct scale. Part 1 characters are supposed to be big. It's the part 3 figures that are ridiculously small. But honestly SAS scales are kinda all over the place and not cohesive anyway.
>>6059186
SAS doesn't even have a scale, just a roughly consistent size that they've settled on.

I wish they'd re-release it with more manga like faces. Not even taking my personal preference for the manga art style over the anime's, but for coherence. Not that they'd ever do that, but whatever.
>>6058345
But isn't WF Pucci getting way less produced than other WF figures? I think that's why the other anon implied the price may go up
>>6059332
>judging figuarts by a line from six years ago
>>6059272
The VAH size factor would make them look glorious
>>6059346
1500 overall but we have to see how he ends up overtime if his units sell often in Mandarake. If he goes up then this new approach really hurts WF collecting outside of being at the event or rolling in the lottery. If shops decide to throw a few a bone and bring it to a decent enough price for his number available then great. Though for Medicos to pull out the usual recolor job with only a soundplate and then change it up by selling him by such a number is a real bite in the ass from past WF Figures. At least with Baoh I can sort of see why being a new figure and all.
>>6059594
I honestly don't like it
I know priests wear black gowns but the purple hair and lipstick looks like utter garbage and the red cross just makes him look outright evil
>>6059620
>outright evil
well, it's rather fitting, isn't it?
>>6059272
The One Piece figures were a really cheaped out shit show, but that was back when Figuarts were pumping out so many lines quick as they can. Since that era of them flopped so bad they made some proper divisions for each line and have been doing better since.
I think if the guys that handle the Kinnikuman figures has a crack at Jojo then we could get something pretty neat, we'd at least get a really good Star Platinum out of it.
>>6059620
I like to think he's just trying to match Dio but not going all out red which makes his WF edition line up with WF Dio funnily enough. Other than that the red cross is chosen from the artwork it's inspired from though Medicos didn't use the darker blues and colored lips direct from the artwork.
>>6059700
And said artwork from a cover of a book with the villains in the new art and in bright blue colorways with Pucci being a darker shade.
>>6059703
Why the purple hair though reeeeeeeeeee
>>6059134
Stardust Crusaders Jotaro has something similar, but for the pockets of his pants. Kinda cool.
>>6059707
Because they always change the hair colour for the WF figure.
>>6059707
Personally to me it's
>Medicos advised colors
when they reference artwork colors. Pic related should've been King Crimson Blue Ver. but they changed the colors a bit. Not unless they got input from Araki to alter it a bit for a figure release but that's my random guess.
>>6059353
Oh sorry, I meant how the VAH One Piece stuff looks (very nice in my opinion).
SAS Oda Nobunaga from Drifters
Release Date: May 2017
Retail Price: 8,300 JPY
He looks really nice, but I don't think I see any chest/waist articulation. Also he just comes with one accessory (gun).
>>6059815
>>6059815
May is going to suck but the laughing face is a bit "eh"
>>6059815
TRAP OR RIOT.
>>6059824
Laughing face is pretty shitty.
Also, I think I'll have to get this one later. Already got Slan for May.
>>6059815
>Can't even do the sitting pose
dropped
>>6059815
What the fuck's with the price?
Also, good to see that Medicos still knows that pieces around the legs that may inhibit articulation can be put on joints. Let hope they did the same for Toyohisa, or at least made the armor plating soft material.
>>6059815
So I'm assuming he has almost literally no waist movement.
>>6059815
SAS is getting PAK syndrome, where the articulation quality nor paint quality is getting any better, the accessories are getting more sparse, and the prices are going up.
>>6059824
>medicos tries something other than the yelling alt head
>it's shit
>>6059824
Looks am awful lot like Woody's rape face.
>>6059815
>8300jpy
End of the line. Too bad, I like drifters but the sculpts are mediocre, the poseability looks garbage, pair this with the usual shit paintjob.
All for 83 bucks+shipping+VATrape, AND I havn't ordered anything else that month yet.
100 bucks for one barely poseable fig with crap paintjob and 0 show accuracy.
>>6059815
I was planning on getting all three Drifters, looks like I'll just settlte for Yoichi and Toyohisa which sucks because I really wanted Oda but I refuse to buy a shit figure regardless of the character.
I just noticed on medicos site Toyohisa is approx 160cm and Nobunaga is 180cm, thats a pretty big size difference in my opinion what the fuck are they doing?
is there anyway to buy a three holed base? Other than buying a figure that comes with it
>>6059992
people sell them separately on Mandy.
>>6059992
I just bought a 6-pack of them at Mandy.
>>6059986
aren't those the character heights? or do you expect the figure to be human sized?
>>6059986
Oda is a big guy.
>>6060009
no my issue is the size difference between two characters who are the same height, Toyohisa is just going to look like a manlet next to Nobunaga, there's literally no reason for the height difference besides Medicos own shitty incompetance.
>>6059815
So all the SAS from WF have been colored besides Gyro. Fucking kill me.
>>6060059
RWBY hasn't yet. Also there was one more Drifters in picture only.
>>6059815
Boy I can't wait for the year 2038 to see Valentine and D4C be released for 19,600 yen each
>>6060063
he'll be a WF exclusive with only 3 being made
>>6060063
I'd pay that price sadly. I need my sbr figures. Hell I'd pay $200 for a Task Act 4. Don't even get me started on Jobin and Speed King. I'd come out of the closet to my grandma to have those two
Poor Medicos is dying.
>>6060276
Somebody better get this soon to be cash cow that is JoJo's better figures
>>6060324
Who would take over?
>>6060276
>poor
you mean rich. they should be drowning in cash with no new molds, sloppy paintjobs, the anime airing, and fuckexpensive releases.
>>6060276
Is "Medicos dying" becoming a meme? Every time someone mentions it in this thread I'm not sure if it's just one guy being overly pessimistic or it's something that's slowly being parroted by other people.
As far as things go Medicos may not be exactly rolling in it, but they aren't at a point of no return, and have no reason to go tits up unless they keep driving towards a wall.
>>6060476
I bet it's one guy trying to force a meme.
>>6060476
>>6060798
I mentioned it twice in two different threads prior to this, anyone else mentioning it isn't me. I still do believe they are in trouble at the very least to be honest. They may be able to limp along for years but high prices + less releases + more ultra limited exclusives is not a sign of health. Hell it took forever for that one shitty weird scaled moe line to die despite the signs showing 3+ years in a row.
>>6060798
Another anon here, I honestly think they are in trouble. The increase in price and the sloppy giorno paintjob really got me worried.
Anyone know if the current release books of the manga are gonna come out in color?
how do the real action hero jojos rate?
>>6061007
All pretty good but the bodies they use all have fragile shoulder joints.
Can someone with both Dio, part 1 and 3, post a size comparison? On the fence about buying both, so I'd like to see how well they scale with each other beforehand. It would feel weird not having both versions, but it'd feel even weirder if they were drastically out of scale with each other
>>6061049
Nuu has that covered in his review

>>6061171
Where to buy
>>6061181
Bought at the Michaels arts and craft store. Found in the jewelery making section. They're normally used for holding beads, etc.
>>6061192
Cool. Used to like going there and look at their stuff. Never thought about them having storage stuff despite knowing what they sell. Thanks.
>>6061072
Damn, that's so disappointing. Thanks for the post, anon
>stand users without their stands
Is this okay or not okay?
>listening to ITCOTCK with my King Crimson and Diavolo figure in tribute for Greg Lake.
RIP
>>6061248
It's acceptable. It's better than having a Stand without their user, with a few exceptions like King Crimson or Whitesnake.
>tfw Purple Haze never came and Fugo will be without a Stand for that much longer
Thanks USPS
>>6061248
Up to you if you feel if it's okay.
How would you feel about a "boss" Diavolo, in which he's all black (+ some shading and eyes so he's not complete shit), with a suit, tie, and short hair?
>>6061261
The custom someone did was okay but for an official Medicos figure I'm not sure really. Doppio is worth going into just for the expression or at the very least a Epitaph forehead alternate head.
>>6059815
If I knew the final product would look like that in hand like in ye olden days of SAS, I'd suck that price up and preorder it right now.
As it stands, not a chance.
How easy/difficult will it be for a gaijin like me to get the Baoh figure?
Baoh, Valentine and D4C are the only SAS i plan to get from here on since i've decided to not complete the full part 6 cast, but funnily enough the way things are going Baoh of all things might be the only one on my list that i have a chance to get.
>>6061330
WonderFes exclusive, you're going to have to go there or hunt on mandarake once it's out.
>>6061331
There aren't any middlemen i can ask to pick it up for me?
>>6061336
You could, but it's only obtainable via lottery so they might not even get it with their luck.
>>6061337
Bugger, ah well. Thanks for the info.
Just checked the date for the next festival and i can probably make it then, may as well fly over there myself.
>>6061171
What figure does that tiny ps1 come with?
Obviously not jojo but it looks cool.
The foot of my Dio figure is broken, I can't move it up or down, and I can't pull it out easily. Should I force it or leave it as is? It's really annoying because he can't stand properly with it.
>>6051020
>mixing flesh hands
>>6061286
This. Price does matter. It's the reason Figuarts Zero was a massive failure at first because they were charging double and even triple the price of prize figures that had similar or better quality. They have since improved the line to justify the increased cost but holy hell the early ones were a nightmare. Lazy sculpting, low-grade prize figure paint apps and missing paint apps advertised in promo shots that made them look amazing.
What Medicos was giving us at roughly $40-50 shipped felt like a great value. At $80+ it's no longer a great value and in some cases we are getting less than we got before. Less articulation, less accessories, less paint shading, etc. Also this dude is way the fuck out of scale. He should be close to the same height as Toyohisa but instead he's almost a full inch taller. Oda isn't a 7 foot tall giant.
>>6061707
I'm guessing as with the Tokyo Ghoul figures, the size differences are to be able to ask more for them.
>>6062094
>I'm guessing as with the Tokyo Ghoul figures, the size differences are to be able to ask more for them.
Then they should have made Toyohisa 7 inches tall too instead of creating a massive scale difference issue two figures into the line. Now even if you buy these three they won't match up properly. I'm sure all we will get is these three anyway because I doubt sales will be great with the stupid pricing, the mediocre likeness, the lack of accessories and the boring expressions. The scale issue was the least of their concerns but it's one more shit brick in the shit house.
>>6061707
>Figuarts Zero
>Massive failure
What the fuck are you even talking about? FZ was a massive success when it first came out. Comprised of almost exclusively One Piece figures it routinely sold out day one as soon as it hit the shelves for up to and probably over a year initially, to the point that all the straw hats needed re-releasing down the line because they were so scarce and expensive on the aftermarket. Talk about the Figuarts OP line and sure I'd be with you, but FZ? You really picked the wrong example there.
>>6060400
Max Factory was going to release a Figma Jonathan at one point, it got as far as a painted prototype, but it never happened for one reason or another. I imagine they'd be the most likely to take over, and while the figures themselves would be decent, good fucking luck getting anything at a timely rate.
>>6062254
>Looks infinitely better than Medico's Jonathan
really makes you hmm
>>6062269
Both SAS and Figma Jonathan look kinda shit.
>>6062161
Again, same for Tokyo Ghoul. Tsukiyama and Kaneki are fairly in scale with their own line, but Juuzou is out there. He should be smaller than Kaneki, instead he's a bit bigger.
Not sure what the fuck Medicos is even doing with scale.
>>6062269
Are you sure about that?
>>6062318
If the face was a bit more accurate, yeah.
>>6062339
I remember that time in Part 1 when Jonathan was covered in shit too.
>>6062318
the sculpt is complete shit, do you need an eye exam?
After today how many episodes until it's all over ?
Also...15k jpy WF Joseph on jungle

I just got my first RAH (Jolyne). She's great, except for one thing. Her left ankle joint works just fine, like an ankle joint should. But when I try to use the rocker joint on her right ankle, it feels...spring-loaded? It just snaps back to the default position if I try to tilt it on that axis. I am really confused as to why this is happening, and to make matters worse, I can't even see the joint--the fabric of her pants are permanently attached to the soles of her shoes. I can't even find a way to get the pants off anyway, there is a velcro closure in the back but it seems to be blocked by a glued-on plastic belt.
Anyone have any experience with this figure (or the RAH female body in general)? I want that ankle to be usable, but I am also afraid of breaking it if I force it.
>>6059696
>JoJo figs with Figuarts Kinnikuman articulation
They would need toe joins, but I'm in. As a bonus, we'd probably get a lot more side characters.

I really wish Medicos would bother to revisit the engineering at some point once they get past JoJo.
>>6062588
Also, sorry, I just noticed this was SAS general, not JoJo general. I still figure this is the most likely place to find a fellow Jolyne owner though, sooo I'm gonna leave this here, sorry for the offtopic post friendos.
>>6062611
yeah, I dont have any of Medicos' Kinnikuman figs but they look like their articulation is noticeably better than what they're doing now
Though, I am kind of tempted to get SAS Robin, and I really, really wish they went through with their Soldier fig
Part III Jotaro sucks, is Part IV Jotaro a good-enough stand-in? I'd like to have all the lead Jojos but I don't know if that would trigger me or not.
>>6062637
Eh, why not? If they made a SAS Part 6 Jotaro, I'd totally just get him for a single Jotaro.
>>6062203
Nah bro. It sold out initially because people were expecting big things from the line. Once they realized the final releases looked nothing like the promo bullshits they started to shelfwarm HARD until Bandai was forced to up the quality. That's when the line began selling well again. There was at least 30-40 releases where Bandai habitually showed things in the promo images that didn't make it into the final product or whose paint was prize figure tier despite costing 2-3x more.
Why the fuck do none of the back pegs ever fucking fit? I've just lost Narancia's radar because even after applying twice the pressure of the floor of the Mariana Trench, his back peg still only penetrated one one-thousandth of a centimeter and my setup fell apart.
>>6063124
Sometimes it happens. My Stone Free never found a fitting Medicos base arm no matter how many times I swapped it and I figured they fudged her peghole depth or size so it's never compatible with any arm unless I use another brand. Everyone else fits flush.
>>6063124
>even after applying twice the pressure of the floor of the Mariana Trench, his back peg still only penetrated one one-thousandth of a centimetre
kek, I know how you feel, his radar looks nice but I've completely given up on displaying it due to the peg being shit.
