What are you guys receiving for christmas??? I'm not allowed to open most of my goods until Christmas
I have sabine and revan in the mail, and a figuarts shoretrooper should be coming next week. I'm debating on getting the AT-AT driver and another BS hovertanker.
>>6069203
I have the Lego DR Who set that I picked up for £33 and the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 for £36 in my warddrobe.
Hopefully TBS 6 " Revan and Sabine if I can find them in the UK.
And the TBS 3 3/4" ASDA line- Rey, Finn, Poe, Han, Leia, Phasma. again if I can find them- they'e been spotted but haven't gone looking yet.
Maybe some more things if anything takes my fancy.
Anyone else got these LED swords?
I rarely use them cause the batteries are non-replaceable but god damn they look cool!
I'm getting model kits to fill out my ranks and trying my damnedest not to buy Figuarts Phasma until the MAFEX one comes out.
>>6069236
Damn, those look nice. The blob at the base looks a little silly to accommodate the gimmick maybe, but that's straight out of my childhood dreams.
>>6069242
What's a good place to get them/how much did you pay each? It feels weird paying more than 20 a pop for something that's already supposed to be cheaper than the corresponding toy.
>>6069203
Got figuarts ep 2 obi wan in the mail and they bought ep 2 anakin for me, just gonna have to wait forever for that one.
>>6069291
what is wrong with me

Post modified Figuarts Kylo with Black Series robe
I'm on the fucking fence about buying him.
I got the Revan wave off Dorkside today. Gonna be opening it up tonight after work and taking some pictures to post tomorrow. Any requests? Pls no bully ;_;
Also,
>that feel when the Princess Leia head is already known to be wonky and the one I got has messed up eyes
Rev up those preorders!

>>6069561
thanks anon I bought 12
>>6069385
All I have is a dark close up
>>6069566
crafty consumer
>tfw finally found a shoretrooper commander
How's the Death Tooperr black series?
>>6069915
Some wonky sculpt issues (mostly in the legs) but better articulation than most gun-wielding figures we've been getting lately.
>>6069915
okay but they're really tall for some reason
>>6069915
Just okay.
Right off the bad, his proportions are weird, very lanky. Turns out this is how they were described in the original lore. Tall and slim, extremely fit..so I can look beyond this.
My problem with the figure is it's articulation. Swivel hinge neck, no ball joint, single elbows with only an elbow swivel, no bicep. Finally the long legs sorely lack a calf swivel.
When you couple the proportions with the sub par articulation, it makes poses that look both dynamic and natural quite difficult.
He looks sick though.
>>6069939
At least he can pull off a half decent-looking gun aiming pose.
>>6069932
From what I understand they're "supposed" to be lanky.
Still can't find revan , does the next wave have a release date ? I really wanna get my hands on Hera .
I wonder who is going to get the exclusive for the scarif trooper captain black series (god knows it will be wallgreens)
>>6069561
why does this weigh twice as much as my truck...ahh its like 9.8 feet tall. the shipping costs must horrendous, it would take single trailer just for this in pallets.
>>6069951
>>6069951
Anyone else buy any of these 4 poa figures from Dollar General? I picked up Luke because I hate the face on the black series version and it was only $6. Fits in pretty well imo.
>>6070047
If you like the head better why not just switch them?
>>6069888
we got a box in today of wave 2, was a bit disappointed it wasn't revan's wave. The commander had pretty good paint but I'm holding off on more rogue one dudes until I actually see the movie.
>>6070047
He only has a swivel neck, shoulders, and waist but looks better for a display than the BS. Also the lightsaber hilt is molded in his hand but has a removable blade. If they ever make Stormtroopers like this I'll probably buy like 20 of them for cheap army building.
>>6069939
>>6069969
>>6069979
How are his shoulders? One really nice thing I noticed the other rogue one troopers is that their chest armor is narrow enough that they can bring their arms in further than parallel when they're straight forward. It makes two handing their rifle surprisingly easy even with the gimped elbows.
>>6070074
Moot has an action figure? Cool.
>>6069939
Y'know in my head canon these Death Troopers are some augmented alien race which would help explain their lanky appearance. Disney probably won't go that route though I feel but I guess we'll find out soon.
>>6070050
It would be too large on the BS figure plus take some customization because the cheap dollar general one only has a neck swivel no ball joint. Oddly the Han Solo is the only one in this wave that has a ball joint neck. I just found a video on these things.
https://youtu.be/f-PZflKV7ZM
>>6070076
Not as good as the others you describe. His molded under clothes/ rib cage is in the way and prevents anything further than straight forward. No two handed pistol pose
Hold on, I thought the geonosians developed the plans for the first death star?
>>6070171
The plans were on Geonosis, but how do we know they were created by Geonosians?
>>6070171
retcon? they were just working on it but palps didnt want the plans getting out?
My revan case came in today from dorkside. Gotta say for all the hype Revan looks massively disappointing. Paint is meh kinda flat. Haven't opened him yet thinking i may just scalp him and sabine. Obi wan looks pretty good, surprisingly. AtAT driver and Snowtrooper are standouts of the wave.
>>6070182
>Gotta say for all the hype Revan looks massively disappointing.
everybody is buying him for his character and potential value anyway. I'm not surprised
>>6070182
I'm the opposite. I don't give a flying fuck about the character and I was totally unimpressed opening the figure, but the more I play with him the more I like him
>>6070200
Maybe i should give it a chance then. If i didnt care about the character the quality looked like an easy pass on the shelves. Probably built up the hype for it in my head too much.
>>6070209
NOOOOOOOOOO I get into a collecting phase now and the Obi Wan Hot Toys is sold out damnit!
PLEASE is there a way I can find this that is cheaper compared to the Amazon price which is over $200?
Bloody hell he was so cheap.
>>6070311
>the Obi Wan Hot Toys
I mean Qui Gon of course
>>6070313
Its also not Hot Toys. Its Sideshow.
>>6070313
You might say he's...Quite-Gone.
NEVER EVER
>>6070479
Next poll perhaps?
>>6070105
Its explained in the Catalyst novel. They have gene therapy and surgeries and shit. Basically, they are Halo Spartan rip offs.
When are we going to get some council members? I want Shaak Ti.
>>6070502
Also, this guy would be cool if they do actual hair likes on dolls.
ML Chameleon comes in handy once again. Got Darth Executive Hipster running, and the big black gun is just sci-fi enough to look great on the R1 Troopers.
>>6070557
Boy do I know that feeling
>>6070486
if the empire had 2nd gen Spartans with mark V shit would have gone down quite differently, considering they were developed to counter an armed insurrection.
Though I wonder who would come out on top ARC or SPARTAN-II
>>6070569
Only a faggoty millenial would even bother wondering that
>>6070486
And they all die in this movie because muh contrived bullshit canonicity.
>>6070479
I put him in the Hasbro poll from last thread.
Just saw Rogue One, honestly, I found ep7 to be underwhelming at best. Old Han Solo appearing was cool sure but found all the new characters in Abram's take to be unbearably dumb.
Rogue One is the best out of all the new movies for me. Again... just my opinion but am now interested in getting a bunch of the Death Trooper kits to pose by my Jin Roh/Kerberos Protect Gear figures. If anything, I hope Bandai makes some Jin Roh figures that are around the same scale.
>>6070726
Why didn't Obi-Wan feel TWO planets being blown up?
>>6070731
I honestly have never thought highly of the Jedis lol. For all the shit they talk about in-universe, they're awfully oblivious to the very things they say are their specialty.
If anything, other than Clone Wars and lightsabers, I joked to my buddy just now that maybe the Jedis are the worst part of Star Wars.

Is there a specific number of DTs?
>it's killing me to not be able to build this until Christmas but I know I'm one of the only fuckers in the whole country who got this guy by Christmas so it's cool
>>6070105
They aren't aliens because they are the bad-white-male-Nazi-Trump supporters and Disney wants it to be clear that only a coalition of white women, People of Color, and non-traditional species can challenge their evil.
>>6070742
Is this what those new dumpstarwars fags actually believe the movie is about?
Any ideas on how to fix old Obi-Wan's shitty cloth hood?
>>6070739
I think they're Krennic's personal guard so probably.
Really enjoying this figure a lot more than I had planned to. Why though does she not have a jet pack ?
A copy of a New Hope is still better than the prequels. Don't pretend otherwise, you faggots when to go see it and are in a thread dedicated to merchandise.
You want a different take on the franchise, there's Rogue One. Upset they all die? Sorry but Lucas no longer owns Star Wars so they can't be CG'ed into the background of the next OT realease. It's a one-shot, we all knew that, better them dying than to build them up and have them be absent moving forward.
The EU is dead. No amount of autism can bring it back. It sucked anyway.
If you guys think you can make a better Star Wars movie then by all means do it. Don't let your dreams be dreams unless you're happy bitching at your keyboard.
Now can we get back to toys?
>>6070844
Is that her newest outfit? I know she didn't have a jetpack until the latest season.
>>6070846
Fuck you dude. If you think shit CGI rolling squids and grandma rotten orange makes for a good movie, you need to castrate yourself so we never have to deal with your spawn. Fucking hell, "that is a story for another time?" You shit, you really will accept anything.
>>6070851
I've already spawned which is more than can be said about half of you.
I'm sorry two scenes have completely turned your world upside down.
>That's a story for another time
I know, it sucks. I wish they were planning two follow up movies where this could be explored further. Damn.
>>6070846
>"Here. I'll tell you how you are stupid and wrong while acting like I'm better than you to stop all this bickering. Oh, and that thing that you might like but I have no way of knowing yet and you might be sore about because you thought was interesting, it's all shit. Can we be mature now?"
Where dropped as a baby?
>>6070870
Either you're a shill or you're that fucking stupid. How sad that you've ruined your life and everyone else's with your mistake.
>>6070880
Sure
>>6070879
Yes.
Now all I do is talk shit online in a Star Wars thread on a toy board.
Do you guys think this kind of stuff happens on reddit
>>6070894

>>6070896
Not at all.

>>6070898

>>6070898
No, no. You'd lose them because you spend all your time on talking shit on a toy board.
>>6070900
Yeah I've searched around and I couldn't really find a lot of discussion about any japanese toy lines that're typically discussed here.
>>6070917
You get the occasional Figuarts and Hot Toys but the pictures are all ass
>>6070931
Listen, you like TFA. You are a shitty person and probably voted Trump. That's how I'll informed and possibly retarded you are. Nobody wants anything g to do with you now. Fuck off.
>>6070951
>says nobody wants anything to do with me, keeps talking to me.
I love you too
>possibly retarded
Possibly? Earlier I was dropped on my head as a child. Don't backpedal here. Commit.
>Probably voted for Trump
I didn't
>probably, possibly
You don't sound too sure but by all means please tell me how "I'll" informed I am
>>6070951
>still going with the drumpf is le bad meme
You're not better.
>>6070968
Seeing as you defend Force Awakens, there really is something wrong with you on a genetic level.

How about we post some pics to break up the tension?
Here's my little collection. Yes I'm aware my shelf needs dusting and I suck at posing.

>>6070979
He's not even in office yet and he's already fucking things up
>>6070844
She doesn't have a jetpack in the show.
>>6070847
It is not her most recent look. The Kanan figure is out of date now too.
It's very likely she may get a jetpack in the future, as she is clearly being set up to be the one to unite the clans and become the new Mand'alor.
>>6070988
Is that the mafex C3PO?
>>6070999
I haven't been keeping up on the newest season but I thought we at least saw her using a jetpack in some preview, if not in the show itself yet.
>>6070988
>that shitty Luke
You're no good with money, I see.
I decided to slice up a couple old Pirates of the Caribbean figs to turn a couple troopers into some space pirates.
>>6071003
She used one a few episodes ago, but it got destroyed.
She has the darksaber now though.
>>6071001
It is my friend.
>>6071004
Why bother going to work if I can't buy the things I want? Point me towards a better ROTJ Luke and I'll buy it.
I personally have no complaints with Figuarts Luke aside from his hair being a little too metallic and one of his accessories being an add-on for manlet Vader (which I also bought because I wanted the Death Star base, turns out it's too big to fit on my shelf, god damn it)
>>6071011
Got a good kek outta me dude
>>6071015
Oh fucking great. The darksaber was one of the worst fucking things in TCW. Doubly worse with edgy lightsaber weilding mando. Now they are just redoing it? Yuck. Its like they stumbled upon some autists notebook of fan fiction buried among sonic drawings and thought they struck gold.
>>6071011
I love it
>>6071011
I hope after they finish making Samurai Star Wars fgures, they move onto Pirate themed because those are great.
>>6071029
What's wrong with the darksaber?
>>6071003
>>6070999
She had a jetpack in the Supercommando episode. She stole it from a Mandalorian but when she escaped at the end of the episode the jetpack was shot and shorted out. I don't know if this means that the jetpack is completely wrecked or she just needs to repair it but the rebels have no resources for it.
>>6071035
It's a lightsaber but special snowflake jedi aren't the only ones who can use it
>>6071039
In preproduction, the sword was intended to be a vibroblade, a weapon used in the EU with a cortosis weave that could resist a lightsaber. But Lucas rejected the idea, saying that nothing can really stand up to a lightsaber, so it was changed.
Jedi aren't the only ones who can use a ligthtsaber. That's never been true. The Darksaber is an ancient lightsaber that the Mandalorians claimed thousands of years ago when they were fucking rekking the galaxy and the Jedi. The claimed it as victory over the Jedi and since, has been passed down to the strongest Mandalorian warriors.
It sounds pretty Mandalorian to me, actually.
>>6071039
A lightsaber is a sword. Even if you're not a trained swordsman, you can still swing a sword at someone. There's no magic barrier that keeps you from touching a lightsaber if you're not a Jedi.
Is Darth Regan worth picking up?
>>6071048
No. Because it's a dude, and in my game, Revan was a woman.
>>6071048
>Regan
Do want to make America great again?
>>6071046
If you arent force sensi you would cut a limb off it was always said. Anyways is a super edgy mary sue weapon. It is of complete fan fic fabrication.
>>6071053
Han Solo didn't cut of his limbs.
Grievous didn't cut of his limbs.
Like at least 78 guys from Comics and Books never cut off their limbs despite having no force powers. You have to not be a complete and utter retard to work with a lightsaber.
>>6071058
>Grievous didn't cut of his limbs.
To be fair he could've and just gotten them replaced again
>>6071053
>If you arent force sensi you would cut a limb off it was always said.
The second you pick it up? Come on, dude. If you try to deflect a blaster bolt, probably.
You could cut your arm off if you're wielding a longsword or a katana if you don't know what you're doing also.
>Anyways is a super edgy mary sue weapon.
Mary sue weapon? Everyone we've ever seen wielding it so far has gotten fucking destroyed.
>It is of complete fan fic fabrication.
A prized lightsaber claimed as a prize by the Mandalorians when they defeated the Jedi in the Old Republic? That's about as Mandalorian as you can get, dude. I really don't see the problem.
>>6071053
Is that right?
>>6071060
All he ever did with it was SOI SOI anyway
>>6071011
moar pics
Just got Revan and it seems short. Is it supposed to be the girl Revan?
>>6071071
Finn is sensi you blind fool. Why do you think he survived anyways?
Are the anons in this thread who are finding Revan getting him from online, or finding him in stores? Where I live, I've only spotted figures from wave 9 at Gamestop.
>>6071071
Finn is the worst addition to Star wars. WHO CAPPIN' NOW HUH?
>>6071107
Okay, so everyone who uses a lightsaber without dying is actually Force sensitive.
That makes a lot of people secret Jedi.
>>6071118
I liked him more than rey desu
>>6071120
Force sensitive does not equal jedi. Even the caption says ...their old sargeant couldnt do this
Implying hes something more, enhanced, kinda proving my point.
>>6071058
Han was force sensitive. Why do you think he had better luck than the average person? It was skill and luck in a mystical sense. He couldnt control it but the force was helping him in especially when he tried and focused. He was also an amazing shot and this was displayed in all the movies he was in.
Got my MAFEX Vader today. First non-black series figure. Holy fuck have I been missing out. I've held out so long because I've never been able to justify the price of a MAFEX or Figurarts after seeing comparison pics between them and black series, but holy fuck is immediately apparent in person. Vader makes my black series figures look like toys for 3 year olds, and I can pose him in just about any pose I want easily. I'll probably order a Figuarts soon to test them out, but MAFEX made a fan out of me.
>>6070999

>>6071257
I wonder if toywiz actually ever sells these ridiculously priced items, I mean they must, right? otherwise they wouldn't do it, maybe clueless soccer moms and such bite.
So I got my hands on a second Revan and I'm working on replacing the hood and cape completely.
Interestingly, they sculpted a back of Revans helmet.
UUUUUURGH THICC
This was such a pain to cut through but it's so nice to actually have the ability to move his head now.
The sheer weight of it is also what was holding down the rest of the molded parts of his cape-robe-thing.
Shaved a tiny bit from the bottom of the robe. That, combined with the weight of the hood being gone means he can actually raise his arms up a decent amount now.
Also the cape wasn't glues. Just looped around the neck, so it's easy to remove and replace.
Also dat five-head.
Shaved a little at the bottom of the bicep so he can get a proper basically-90 degrees now.
Now I just need the custom cape and hood I ordered to come in and he'll be all set. I'll update with pics when that arrives in a few days.
If it all turns out well, and after I paint his middle sash, I'm thinking of doing a giveaway contest thing of the unmodded Revan I first got. Anyone think that'd be fun to do?
Final pic unless anyone has requests.
I think his profile is pretty rad. Head comes off easy, too, so easy to swap for an unmasked look if you want.
>>6069963
What girl jedi is that?
>>6071482
I was considering that, but I actually ordered one of these off a dude on eBay. I'm gonna see how it looks then go from there with the Kylo robe instead if I don't like it.
>>6071492
Black series Ahsoka Tano.
>>6071499

Who here has a big stormtrooper army that they want to show up for inspiration?
>>6071494
I'm still waiting for mine to come in
>still no proper 6" Yoda's or Palpatines
I don't understand. One is literally the main villain in the series, and the other is a super popular character with a fuck ton of screen time. What gives?
>>6071535
They both have acceptable black series figures, you tool.
>>6071544
>Acceptable black series
Lol.
Memes aside though, Yoda was pretty derpy, and Palpatine's robes were complete garbage.
>>6071544
Black series can't even fucking sit, what good is a emperor that cannot sit on his throne?
So what are my odds of finding a Revan anywhere?
>>6071609
Pretty good in January
>>6071609
You're about 2 weeks too late. Even Wal-Mart is listing him for scalper prices now.
>>6071606

>>6071461
what tools do you use to do this without totally destroying the rest of the figure?
>>6071742
I did literally all of it with a basic hobby knife. Just know how to cut carefully and slowly. Don't force anything.
I'm getting nervous about MAFEX Kylo Ren. He is supposed to come out this month, but no one seems to have any previews up.
>>6071748
Wait, wait... So you're saying NOT to use the force?
>>6071133
Its actually referring to the fact that the old sergeant didn't have a lightsaber.
>>6071173
>hat on a helmet
I'll allow it.
>>6071751
He's probably not going to come out until, like, April. Same with Phasma. So far MAFEX Star Wars figures always get delayed for MONTHS for some reason.
>>6071808
That's my favorite part about him too
>>6071751
He was delayed to January
>>6071441
You're doing god's work anon.
The lack of head articulation is his biggest flaw for me.
If the mod looks good I'm sure a lot of us will do the same.
>>6071765
What series and issue is this? Sounds interesting. Is it empire or a newer marvel run?
>>6071494
Rickhor capes are pretty good. Just wished it didnt take so long for shipping. Only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on more. I think its a great idea for your revan. Will you be distressing them up a bit? I really like the tattered look the stock one has.
And as another tip. The rickhor capes are a bit starchy but if you take a water spray bottle and just lightly spray it then sort of mold it on the body to your liking. Then when it dries it will retain its shape close to the body and sit or standup how you want it.
Can Figuarts Farmboy Luke head fit on a Figuarts stormtrooper to make Trooper Luke?

Thanks for the tip! Yeah I wish they arrived sooner but I guess the dude lives in Malaysia, so what can you do?
I'm considering distressing it, but we'll see. I worry about fucking up and making it look too fake or silly. Got any tips or tutorials for distressing well?
Whoa... Hasbro actually managed to nail the likeness of Princess Leia! ;)
>>6072183

Just got payment request for SHF Death trooper and Scarif trooper from AmiAmi. Ems for both is 2k yen. Though now I am regretting not ordering through HLJ and warehousing them. I was sorta banking on them getting delayed and hopefully ship with the other new ones.
>>6072055
You could sort of copy what hasbro did with theirs as a guide/pattern.
Im no customizer but ive done this process for ripping up my jeans. Small cuts with an exacto. Random and not too orderly. Run a shaving razor across the hem and fringe to distress the threading and sort of nip the weft. Fine toothed sand paper run along edges and holes to further age it and get that distressed look. A wash of some brown paint really watered down on the edge will give you like a tattered dragged through dirt and constant fighting look. Shit after describing this I kind of want to do it myself. Maybe if I can score a second revan in case I mess up.
Heres a video i havent watched but probably has some good ideas and demos much of what i described i am sure.

That looks good, actually. What are you being a bitch about?
>>6072440
Paint job is pretty rubbish. Looks pretty good with a decent paint job though.
>>6072459
That's professional work though....and man does it make a difference.
But it's not often you'll ever see that with a mass retail release.
>>6069203
I wish I could find a picture, but there's a brief shot in Rogue One featuring what looks like a guy wearing black scout trooper armor and a trenchcoat.
Wish there was a figure of him...
>>6072183
>the hood is fraying even in the promo shots
>>6072521
>But it's not often you'll ever see that with a mass retail release.
Have you not seen some of the recent Figuarts?
>>6072576
Figuarts look like shit. Realistic shit, but shit all the same.
Has a Black Series Tarkin been announced yet?
I'm sure he is inevitable with Rogue One out, and his big role in Rebels, I'm just wondering if it is sooner or later.
>>6072685
later.
>>6072566
If it looks anything like the NCR Ranger Combat Armor from Fallout: NV then I'm buying.
>>6071525
I do, but last time I posted it some communist fag complained that I was displaying my wealth as an attention whore.
>>6072737
So keep posting it. Don't let poor people tell you what to do.
>>6072582
>Figuarts look like shit
You're so right. Black Series is supperior
>>6072770
Not that guy...but you realize a figure can be the best version available and still be shit in someone's opinion right? I don't think the SHF is all that bad but it's not perfect either. It totally makes the Black Series look like dog shit though.
>>6072459
Even with that great paint job, it's still a shit sculpt. Barely looks like Carrie.
>>6072770
Hasbro Luke looks like moot, figuarts looks like expensive shit
>>6072770
>that gold hair and dotted face
Jesus christ.
>>6072770
It's just that head. Everything else is fine. But that fucking Malcolm McDowell face. ANH is a little bit better, but the smiling face is shitty.
Here's hoping Bes(t)pin Luke is good, since that's the one I've been holding out hope for.
HLJ just charged me for SH Figuarts Death and Shore troopers
>>6073009
>buying toys of a movie you haven't seen yet
>'b-but i like da designs....i tink dey r kool...'
>>6073022
>he hasn't seen Rogue One
Why are you even still posting here?
>>6073009
>releasing figures right when the movie comes out
Mafex take fucking note.
>>6072770
Which one is which in that pick. Left sculpt looks slightly better, but the painted has a weird specaled quality on the face that looks horrible. Also, the hair literally looks golden.
Right seems to have a worse face sculpt but better paint app. Also, its chest piece is more accurate to the Vader battle.
Neither looks good.
Just went on a preorder spree on Amiami:
Rogue One Figuarts Storm Trooper
Mafex Phasma AND Rey
Figuarts Han and Chewie
I've got a Figuarts Shore Trooper being shipped today via SAL registered because DHL was $21, too much. Anyone have experience with SAL registered? Time taken to arrive, package condition etc, first time ordering on this site.
Couldn't deal with Sabine not having a jet pack so I made one. Pretty happy with it
>>6073085
Looks like shit.
>>6073085
Is that Jango's jetpack? Why not match it with her colors?
>6073099 #
Thanks.
>>6073126 #
It's a jet pack from some clone wars multipack
Her uniform is like 12 different colors to begin with, I can always reaint it, but I think the red works fine. It's a perfect match to the emblem on her shoulder
Canadafag here: I just got back from Wallmart and found a bunch of Ashokas, Kanans and Luke Skywalkers (Tatooinne) there on the shelves. Since I already got the first two back in June at a comic-con, I picked up Luke who I passed on back then.
So, does this just mean that we in Canada are just 6 months behind the states in distribution? WTF Hasbro?
>>6073207
Maybe? Around the middle of last month, more cases of that wave started hitting Target in the US, and maybe two months ago an even bigger load of them were hitting Target and getting instantly discounted to around $12. That's after the first round was showing in sparse quantities. I'm still seeing that wave pop up randomly (1-3 fresh cases per store) at Target, Walgreens, and Walmart.
It's a revision wave, which usually means we're at the end of a series. Expect new boxes soon.
>>6072770
>he's wearing a diaper
>>6073085
Not autisticly painted with random colors and shit enough, good job otherwise.
>>6073287
Thanks senpai. I'm gonna throw some silver on the thrusters and a few details and call it a day
>>6073287
This. It doesn't really fit her "artistic" personality
Should I pull the trigger on the regular Scarif Trooper from walmart?
>>6073085
RED ROCKET
>>6073250
So you're more into codpieces? You fucking queer
>>6073525
ye. he pretty koo.
>>6072770
>want OT "definitive" jedi master Luke
>SHF's proportions are good, articulation is great, but gold hair, buttoned sleeve, and shitty printed face
>Bs is ok, ok articulation, open sleeve, but dumbfounded face and brown hair.
Will Mafex be making one?
Anyone else just get out of Rogue one? I'm about to pull the trigger on a bunch of figs because I loved the movie.
>>6070742
#drainthe(dagobah)swamp
>>6073787
>Mafex
They're still WAYYY behind in the human faces department.
>>6073787
One of the good things about Hasbro is that if they fail once, they'll try try and try again.
Them and other companies will too.
So you can wait until someone makes one that actually lukes good.
>>6073794
going later
a buddy of mine HATED it but from what i've heard so far, it seems right up my alley
>>6073906
Why did he hate it?
>>6073832
I wouldn't mind if their Rey turned out like this
>>6073906
I hated ep7 and Rogue One isn't one of my fav movies ever but I liked it alright.
>>6073911
he just said it's the worst
but that guy has some weird taste anyway, so i don't really listen to his recommendations
he told me ghostbusters was an ok movie
>>6073787
>Thinking SHF Luke's articulation is great
It really isn't
>>6074022
The hips are shit, but the rest is better than anything in the black series.
Hey, does anyone here have any of those die-cast Elite Series figures? I've been eyeing that K-2SO, but I've been hesitant because I don't know how articulated he'd be. If anyone has the Grievous figure, or any stormtrooper/deathtroopers, I'd like to hear about those too. I'm planning on giving them a custom paint job because the apps look a bit iffy.
>>6074091
They suck. I have had Phasma and Grievous. They're very heavy which makes their joints go loose as soon as you start moving them. Grievous in particular is a total mess. Can't stand under his own weight at all his arms constantly pop out. I tightened nearly every joint on him only for them to go loose again. Their possibility is trash and you should stay away
Any chance Figuarts is gonna make a figure of anything Rogue One that isn't a fucking stormtrooper?
Even though the characters kind of sucked, I'd like a Jyn Orso figure.
>>6074165
The Death Troopers were cool, shame the figure kind of sucks though. Was it just me or did it seem like they were actually droids in the movie? I am SO glad I decided to buy a K-2SO back in September though, that character is wonderful and is probably going to fly off shelves now.
>>6074178
>shame the figure kind of sucks
Yeah that's why I skipped the BS, but I am gonna have to pickup SH
>actually droids in the movie?
they definitely weren't human, they reminded me of combine soldiers. and they are SO tall
Why do they make Black Series figures out of such soft plastics?
It's really annoying and makes the figure feel really cheap.
>>6071670
It varies from figure to figure, most are around 4930 yen. Troopers are always cheaper, bigger characters are more expensive. Still wonder what I should expect from Grievous when he finally comes out.
>>6074159
The main characters look kinda boring but fuck I would love to have more rebel troopers, especially the terrorists from the beginning like black Scout Trooper helmet guy.
>>6074185
Because American kids are retarded and stick shit in their eyes so we've made toys ultra-safe to prevent anything from hurting anyone.
>>6074184
They are gentically engineered humans
>>6074159
They'll do a Death Trooper, another Vader, and probably Jyn and the monk.
I doubt they'll do any of the imperial officers sadly. I'd fucking love a Krennic or Tarkin with their face print likenesses they do, but Figuarts is only interest in dynamic characters from action scenes.
>TFW no one will make generic Rebels that were on Leia's ship for army building purposes
>>6074356
baze would be good too
love his weapon loadout
>>6074356
>another Vader
Hopefully he won't be a manlet this time round.
>>6074159
I wouldn't mind one of Kyle Katar- I mean, Cassian Andor.
>>6069561
So, what does one do with something so large? How could you even move it? Where would you keep it? And holy shit that price. And I've been worrying over spending a few hundred on a replica Vader helmet.
>>6074091
I threw mine away actually. I had bought a Stormtrooper during a sale and it was absolutely garbage. Next to zero articulation, looked like shit from the back.
>>6073794
Absolutely amazing movie and it made me respect Jyn so much more as a character and I actually want to buy a toy of her now.
What version of Jyn should I get? Figuarts or Black Series?
>>6074581
Yes I want to insert my penis into her asshole after the film as well
OMG look at her face.. HOW could they release this? The resemblance is... not good at all.
Hopefully that is only a bad copy I found online and the other copies are decent.
A shame because her costume here is great.
Can you take her hood off with the black series version?
>>6074590
I am on bigbadtoystore and this picture is posted in the black series Jyn so that must mean her hood comes off?
meh this is the only decent resemblance I can find (unless the figuarts one is better but can't find that)
>>6074593
That's because no Figuarts figure has been shown or announced you fucking prepubescent asshat
>>6074583
Mafex
>>6074605
Doesn't look like any info has been released for it
>>6074587
yeah, hasbro isn't the best at making human faces, we get it already. stick to collecting trooper figs like the rest of us.
>>6074587
That's 3 3/4" scale.
>>6074356
> there will never be a Figuarts Imperial officer
> there will never be a 6 inch Imperial officer with multiple removable heads, caps and rank badges
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I hope Hasbro gets on with Officers and soldiers at least. That survey with all the fucking background aliens and main characters in bit outfits but not a single trooper pisses me off so much and I don't really like Krennics figure but at least they could maybe improve it on other figures.
>>6074660
Figuarts Ben Kenobi when
So last thread I bought a Revan as a christmas gift.
Today, I printed out a couple sets of these to go with. Black Series stands from Thingiverse. Turned out pretty nice. Not sure what size Revan needs though- does he have big pegs, like Vader, or 'normal' pegs?
>>6074761
dropped my pic like a dumbass
>>6074587
looks more like Kitty Forman from That 70's Show
>>6074593
Look at the Hot Toy you fucking poorfag
Kyle Katarn is the one that got the death star plans, not a bunch of losers.
>>6074781
And he managed to do it without dying either.
>>6074660
How is Figuarts unable to get this helmet right? The tube parts on the side and oval eyes make it look like a cartoon.
>>6074781
The movie is better than a fucking tutorial level.
>>6074781
Dark Forces 1, Jedi Outcast, and Jedi Academy are three of my all time favorite video games ever, I've played through them countless times, so believe when I say that Rogue One is a far better story than the one mission in Dark Forces ever was. Get over it already.
>>6074783
Fuck off stop spoiling it you peice of shit. Some people actually have lives and didnt go to a fucking midnight release you fucking loser.
>>6074763
Considering the peg size in the last few waves have been smaller than Vader's, it's a safe bet to go with smaller.
>>6074801
>being so fucking retarded that you thought they were going to live in the end
You think they were going to go back and edit A New Hope for them to say they lived happily ever after?
haha
>>6074805
Thanks Anon! I don't have much of a reference. All I own is Rey currently. I printed out both though, and one in black and one in grey, and I figure no matter what, it'll be great stocking stuffers!
>>6074807
Listen. I know you don't care but I think you're a massive faggot
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01AWFKM7S/ref=ya_st_dp_summary
HE'S UP
>>6074807
The Death Star only shoots the planets to cause something similar to nuclear explosion leveling a city and its surroundings, the planets don't get nuked like Alderaan. C-3PO and R2 have only a single line at the Yavin base which makes sense. Spread accurate spoilers at least, faggot.
Also like the entirety of the first full-length trailer isn't in the movie. Krennic doesn't walk over a battlefield, no boot-high water battle, no charging towards AT-ACTs. AT-ACTs are barely in the movie and not a single AT-AT which is a bit disappointing.
>>6074869
>no longer available
WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT
>>6074869
I can't believe I was fast enough to get him. That pretty much never happens to me.
>>6074869
>already missed it
>>6072770
stop camparing them, theyre two different price points.
So nobody's getting into these? i just came back from my mall;s Disney store and they were fully stocked, untouched. they look Sideshow-tier. I would have bought the Deathtrooper but i only have room for Vader, which i couldnt find. i have a feeling it's a US exclusive.
>>6074788
Have you seen the previous one? At least it's an improvement
>>6074955
Nigga I didn't compare shit, you all did
>>6074587
Every time a new Black Series figure comes out you all keep crying about it but then try to justify it like you have battered-wife syndrome. It's not going to get any better.
Black Series is for background characters, army building, droids, and shit otherwise unavailable.
You know damn well there'll be either a Figuarts or MAFEX if not both
Literally entire racks full of Hover Tank pilots and no Revan in the city
>>6074869
>$44
Lol. He is at best worth $20. Just go buy him at WalMart or GameStop you lazy pieces of shit.
>>6074872
This. I don't understand how people came out thinking that they actually blew up both planets. The main baddy even bitches during the first planet shot that the Death Star can just fucking blow the entire planet up instead.
>>6075000
>tfw the only Hovertank Pilot shown in the movie is seen for two seconds and then gets shot in the face
>>6074801
I saw it at 6 yesterday. Why the fuck would I have to see it at midnight?
I'm so happy I decided to preorder through bbts. Total of 30$ but I doubt I would have found it in the wild. If I do find one then I'll use it for a custom cloth version like the other guy.
Short but good articulation everywhere except for the shoulders and head. Still in love tho.
>>6075007
He was up for $20. Shipped and sold by Amazon.
You missed it m8.
>>6074590
Dunno if you found a definitive answer yet, but yes the hood does come off. You can find her for around ten bucks on ebay too.
guys should i wait for rogue one vader mafex or should i get the one out already?
>>6075212
Wait for reviews on the new one.
Neither Vaders are going anywhere.
>>6075241
When they are bringing the captured tie fighter in/the pilot's first scene
>>6074969
>improvement
>still badly sculpted
I think it's already been proven that Bandai is made up of mostly mediocre sculptors.
>>6075255
Thanks, I'll keep an eye out when I watch it. Hopefully someone posts an image soon enough.
How does Figuarts Maul hold up against the Black Series?
Can anyone recommend a decent sized TIE-Fighter model?
>>6075922
Ranked in order from best to worst for people not into scale model painting.
Bandai Model Kit 1:72 scale for 25$
Grey plastic, doesn't need glue and doesn't need paint if you are not into model kits. Modelers only give it shading or paint the grey parts sandblue if they want the TESB/ROTJ color version.
http://www.dalong.net/review/etc/sw06/sw06_p.htm
The pics at the very bottom are of the unpainted kit. Bandai is extremely good quality and could play double duty as toy to mess around with but not too excessively with tiny, thin stick parts which would only be the removable laser blasts on the TIE.
Revell Easy Kit 1:65 (or 1:57, revell is fucking terrible with scales)
Sandblue plastic, only exists pre-painted as far as I know but don't count on it, doesn't need glue.
http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/FirstLook/Revell/Rev_SW_Imperial_Tie_Fighter/Rev_Tie_Fighter.html
Primarily designed as a childrens toy so it can take a beating. Bigger than the Bandai kit but also more expensive and probably hard to get due to production stop.
Revell 1:110 Model kit 6€ to 15€
http://www.toy-palace.com/en/revell-easykit-modellbausatz-1-110-tie-fighter-9-cm.html
Easy Kit version in that bag package is pre-painted but that version is out of production.
Current releases come in red boxes with TFA logos and need paint and glue. I guess it's not too hard but without they are solid sand blue, no black. The smallest version if you don't count Micro Machines.
AMT TIE Fighter / just got re-released as Revell Master Series 1:48 Model Kit
http://www.revell.de/produkte/star-wars/star-wars-master-series/id/15092.html
The Biggest TIE currently available but needs painting experience and glue.
Bonus Round:
Hasbros Micro Machine Blind Bags are a nice sandblue albeit in a tiny scale for you. Series 4 or 3 and 1 has TIEs, they are extremely easy to spot because their bags are far thicker than those of other models. In Series 1 you could mistake it for a First Order TIE though.
>>6075212
Rogue One Vader is a scam.
ROTS Vader is the one you want to wait on.
>>6076038
> ROTS Vaders helmet is the worst Vader helmet
I am not sure what he meant by this.
>>6075769
AFAIK he blows the BS out the water, as with most Figuarts/Black Series comparisons.
>>6075769
Obviously he is much better. Black series Maul is one of their best figures though, so don't rule him out if you are having trouble justifying the figuarts price.
Where the fuck is a 6" Galen Erso? He also better come with a kyber crystal for research.
>>6076024
Damn this is a nice list, thanks for that.
Is there a BEST vader? I'm tired of my BS one. Looking at SHF, but unsure. THoughts:?
>>6074961
Holy fucking shit, those look like affordable and decently sculpted/detailed 12" figures.
I really hope we see more Star Wars and other licenses in 1/6 scale thats actually affordable and not fucking Sideshow or Hot Toys tier $150-250+ fuck off prices
How much are these?
>>6075241
His design is the weakest in my opinion
Doesnt feel like Star Wars, and feels like a small way of tying in the retarded slit visors of the First Order in TFA to the universe previous, but both the design and the tiny slit is just bad.
>>6078884
Figuarts is good, but it's small and kind of primitively sculpted compared to later Star Wars figuarts.
The best one in my opinion is the Mafex Vader. It's tall, has all the articulation that Figuarts does, and a cloth cape with a wire down the sides. If you need a Vader RIGHT NOW, get that one.
Mafex is putting out a Rogue One Vader that looks to have a better sculpt and the size of his head is more accurate. http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-026206
The only drawback is that the lightsaber hilt doesn't look like it comes with a red blade.
They're also making a Episode 3 Vader that doesn't look as good as the Rogue One Vader, but it has a lit lightsaber http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-022426
It's all up to you and how long you feel like waiting for one, but I think Mafex makes the best Vaders, despite making poor nearly everything else.
>>6071467
Could I pop the head off without having to cut anything?
I'm a bit out of the loop here. Whats the best R1 Deathtrooper?
>>608004 Shfiguarts and bandai model kit
>>6080047
Model kit. Most gear and options for the lowest price and not as short as the Figuarts.
