Star Wars General

Has any body got the Vendor and Date code for BS Revan? As soon as I opened mine, his legs were like jello and to get a replacement I need the codes. The date code is on the bottom of his foot but completely indistinguishable.

Rogue One is so good I actually get excited to see it's toys which has to be a first in decades.

Any particularly cool Rogue One stuff knocking about?

I seriously thought you were kidding for a second, was he in saw's group? It's gonna bug me that I won't be able to find a decent still until the DVD's out.

Why is everyone saying that Figuarts K2S0 is too small, do they not have the figure? Because mine just arrived and the box itself is considerably larger than the other Figuarts boxes. I haven't measured the figure yet or anything but it's obviously much taller than a typical figuarts.

>>6100417
I think everyone's gotten used to the black series over the last two months, which he's absolutely dwarfed by. Also, they're probably comparing him to black series troopers, which are also slightly larger than what the figuarts is intended to be scaled next to. He's fine on his own.

>>6100402
I noticed him when I saw it IMAX yesterday. He's in the scene where bodhi is brought to one of Saw's lieutenants and also when all the partisans are running from the hideout after the Death Star fires on Jedha.

Seconding this as a newfag to 1/18th scale who has a hankering for a clone army.

>>6100730
>>6100737
Just build a 6 inch one
The prices are similar

>>6100738
Though Rex is only in 3.75

>>6100738
But for the price of one 6 inch white clone, I could get 2 3.75 inch ones. Besides I don't have the space.
also >>6100739 this for every other named clone. even though Rex was basically confirmed for the 6 inch black series if memory serves

>>6100691
It's the Carbine from Titan Fall 2 blind box die cast guns. There are 6 different ones you can get. The problem with them is they are not in scale with eachother. They are currently on clearance 2 for $4 at Gamestop

>>6100738
Yeah but does the 6 inch series have any compatible vehicles? Only reason i would prefer the smaller scale is because i came into possesion of a Republic Gunship

>>6100902
Depends on what you mean by 'display'. All the Figuarts troopers thus far have been fairly sturdy and very nicely-made. It's why I own two of the original Stormtrooper they released, it's got a fair few accuracy issues but the casting quality, materials and all-over gloss white paint finish on the armour are top-notch. They just feel really nice to handle.

The upcoming new version solves most of the accuracy issues (although being from Rogue One it's completely symmetrical now, also has a different belt and shoes), and includes three weapons as opposed to one.

>>6101045
Because one thing Bandai are complete shit at is weathering. The only thing I have from them that has it done well is their speeder bike.

They tried weathering up Jango Fett - between the sloppy paint washes and terrible engineering decisions it's the only SHF figure to date I've had to do work on.

Everyone has said their Rogue One stuff has been solid (waiting on my own to be delivered to make that judgement), but if I see another Jango-tier fuckup from them again I might just save my money to buy the odd Hot Toys trooper or start building the Bandai model kits instead.

I've since fixed the crotch, but I really wish I'd taken some "before" pics to show off just how bad this thing really was out of the box.

>>6101055

I think it's sad that you're supporting a line that isn't even trying to sculpt or paint the figure right. I guess you like cartoon coloring though.

>>6101083
>I think it's sad
I think it's sad you shill so hard for hasbro, and they have such a clearly inferior product. It would be like trying to convince someone to buy a chevy instead of a Ferrari: really retarded job when you think about it.

>>6101043
It looks like he's been eating a turd.

Is that Greg under the helmet? :^)

>>6101070
Anybody know the fix for Jango's loose waist? I got mine and i see the problem so to prevent it i've left the plastic seperator in but trimmed to be unseeable. He's fine for the moment but i'd prefer a more permanent fix.

>>6101088

Your butthurt attitude is delicious. You're wasting your money and Bandai's giving you garbage in return. Serves you right.

>>6101093
It's either to shim it with a flexible piece of plastic like you did, or use Future/super glue/nailpolish to build up the surface of the ball, whichever you are more comfortable with.

>>6101017
Have you tried running them under hot water? I find that helps sometimes. I've gotten all the Movie Realization figures as they come out and swapping hands is always a bitch.

>>6101083

Falling back on that old chestnut?

>>6101093
I cut a square out of the protective plastic and sandwiched it between the ball and the socket. Tightened him up nicely.

>>6101110
>>6101103
Curious about the glue idea, how much is enough and to what degree is it beneficial. I also need to loosen a joint on another figure so to what end does the loosening and tightening of a joint go simply TOO far.

>>6101112
You can use soap shavings or a tiny dab of silicone grease to loosen joints, some people will tell you to use WD-40/shock oil, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Figuarts Rathtar when?

>>6101112
>Curious about the glue idea
The best way to tighten a joint with glue is to very slowly build up thin layers, letting them dry between layers. Same with Future. Some total crazies with just let a small amount of super glue drip into a joint WHILE ITS STILL ASSEMBLED, then spend the next 10 minutes moving it constantly, as the glue dries the joint stiffens, but the constant movement keeps it from setting up, and ultimately it coats the inside surfaces. If you aren't careful, this can make something too tight quickly, so it's best to use just a tiny bit of glue to begin with.

>>6101132
Hopefully never.

>>6101043
$25+, sorry you don't live in the US. Import tax must suck for toys you can't get in physical stores.

>>6101147
Here in the UK they charge £29.99 for Black Series figures, and that's assuming you can find anything in stock that isn't TFA Finn.

SHF, Mafex, etc come out to £33-35 before shipping in most cases, plus there's plenty of smaller Japanese stores that undervalue packages.

>still no figuarts Dooku

Fucking why. We have Windu, AOTC Anakin and Obi Wan, and Padme on the way. We need motherfucking Dooku. And maybe a few of the Super Battle Droids to escort him.

How is the figuarts battle droid?

>>6101153
>Here in the UK they charge £29.99 for Black Series figures
Where the fuck are you looking? TRU has them for £21.99.

>>6101179
Bandai are weird when it comes to bad guys.
So many awesome looking Toku villains never get a figure.
Sure I read the Japanese prefer to buy good guys only.

Though Star Wars ones are more likely to sell. So who knows.

>>6101184
Not bad. Pretty thin so he feels more fragile.
The way they did the hands is a bit weird in that it part can come off easily but it attaches easily enough.
Be willing to overlook that and they are enjoyable. I liked that the arms were removable too, allows for some variation.

They had Flametroopers on their website for £4.99 the other day though, that was nice.

>>6101225
Last Argos catalogue that got pushed through my door had them listed at £29.99.

Even if I was interested in the Black Series figures, there's no way I'm spending the petrol money to drive halfway across the country to my nearest TRU.

>>6101253
There's actually one of those not far from me. It's... not completely hateful, I guess? Most things are marked up way too high but every so often something slips through the net. Picked up the Mezco Batman there for £60, and got two packs of Tamashii stages for £10.

I'd look up some video reviews to get a better idea on the figure.
Personally I'd not bite at that price but I don't know what the going rate on then currently is.
I just sold mine quite cheap recently too.

Looking at the head-on promo pics it looks about right (still not 100% perfect, but I'll take it).

You have to bear in mind Disney had the Stormtrooper suits reworked for Rogue One (and presumably other films going forwards). The shoes are different, the belt is different, they "fixed" the asymmetries and casting defects, made deeper cuts around some joints to enhance mobility, and changed various other minor details.

Anakin fucking skywalker was the main character of that show dumbass she was his side kick. The only reason she had any role at all was because she was a self insert. Canonicaly anakin still never had a failed padawan. Your assoaker love has made you retarded.

Luke Skywalker is more important because he voiced the joker.

>>6102317
You are wrong. Clone Wars was technically an ensemble cast that focused on multiple characters. Jedi, clones, other heroes and various bad guys all had their own story lines. Hell, even JarJar had his own dedicated episode.

>>6102359
But i am not wrong about the fact she was a side kick

You won't have to do it forever, just until the hands get loose enough.

>>6102363
Sidekick does not equal minor character. Robin is a sidekick to Batman, but he is still a major character in the Batman books and the DC Universe as a whole.

Your argument makes no sense.

>>6102314

Ashoka IS a more important character than Luke. That's why she was the hero of the original trilogy, the person they were searching for in Force Awakens, and the person whose father was the focus of the prequel trilogy.

All you stupid fake Star Wars fans only know Luke from a cartoon spin off and he's not even featured in any of the movies. That's why there are so many toys of Ashoka. Duh!

Will the new Figuarts RO Stormtrooper be taller than the last ones?

File: IMG_8012.jpg (934KB, 2480x1660px) Image search: [Google]

934KB, 2480x1660px

>>6102531

Short answer: same size.

The biggest issue people have with Figuarts is that they scale better with each other and not always Black Series--- and that's being generous because taller characters don't look tall enough. Vader, Phasma, and Chewie's looking that way.

The reasons the humans look smaller is because they have more realistic proportions. BS all have tree trunks for limbs but the dead give away is taller characters aren't tall enough.

So the RO Stormtrooper will scale well with the previous release but look shorter and thinner compared to Black Series.

>>6102549
Not other anon, but I can't find a price for them. How much is the Stormtrooper gonna be? like $60 or something like that?

The only Figuarts in the 80+ range are exclusives that get middle man tax attached to them and older hard to find figures like Maul.

It doesn't look like she's going to go for retail any time soon and no store around here is going to stock them.

I love you too, btw CDJapan has it cheaper than amiami but only by 100 yen (which is less than a dollar) your best bet is to wait on Mandarake. Odd's are they will still be NIB just like if you were to order from amiami the only issue is they usually put them up one at a time and they sell out super fast, so you will need to watch the page linked below like a hawk after the figure releases:

Thanks! I have it bookmarked. I'll keep my wallet ready

>>6102631
Oh another thing, I've never bought goods outside America so I should probably set up a Paypal right?

>>6102649
Yeah, a Paypal will be handy no matter which site you go with in the end. And there aren't any customs fees or anything to worry about if you're in the States. As for the Mandarake/Amiami debate, I'd say it's just worth asking yourself whether you'd rather save $10 or get it faster with less hassle. Mandarake is cheaper, but you've gotta wait for 'em to list one and be quick enough to snap it up. Amiami will most likely be a bit more expensive, but they're just "place the preorder and you're good." Price versus convenience, really.

>>6102649
Yes.

Also keep in mind that Mandarake usually updates around 3 to 4 M US Central time, but there's no telling if it will pop up inmediately, or a day later, or two days later, it's all based on what they get sold to them, I think. With that being said the last few Star Wars Figuarts releases have all popped up there within a day or two of being released.

>>6102660
This is also true. You'll get it around 10 bucks or so cheaper at Mandarake but there's a lot of uncertainty and hassle involved. Also one good thing in Mandarake's favor is they will list if a figure has damage to the box or figure itself in the product description.

>>6102661
*3 to 4 AM

I'm new at buying figures and I'm just starting a collection. Should I get Revan now or wait? Also what are some decent Phase 2 Clone Trooper six inch figures?

>>6102694
Who knows? I've been trying to snag Revan for so long and have him at least under $30. It seems impossible.

>>6102694
Wait. They'll inevitably show up in better quantities in stores after scalpers have had their fill of the initial release and moved onto the next wave.

Happened with Ahsoka and Kanan when they were first released. Now there's at least two shelfwarming at my local store.

>>6102694
For the Clone Trooper, either go with the Figuarts or Bandai model kit. Both are around the same size, differences being Figuarts has a matte finish, while the model kit's glossy.

Also worth mentioning the model kit gives you the option parts to display as both Phase 1 and 2.

Take pictures outside. You don't need the latest and greatest camera. Some four figure kit won't do you any good if you don't know how to use it. Try to see things from their perspective.

>>6102777
Do you scout locations or are you fortunate enough to be in a diverse range of elements? I mainly have just grass but I'll have to look for rocky places like in your pic. One day when I get a Vader (Maybe the Mafex RO if life is great) find a place that can pass as Mustafar.

>>6102855
Damn dude those pictures are awesome. Any tips on angling? And do you use Photoshop or any after effects to enhance your pics? I use Instagram filters which might be a bad idea but I only have my phone cuz poorfag

>>6102857

Biggest tip I have is to lay down instead of pointing down at them, get on their level. Try not to put things in shot that will give away the scale, like a leaf. Don't take things where they don't belong---The ACBA alley is played out but Batman makes no sense in the forrest.

Personally I fuck with them beforehand and figure out the shot before taking them out. Next time you find them in an interesting pose recreate the shot somewhere interesting. Try to hide your stands. Q-tip stems make great "cleats" for Black Series since they have holes on the bottom of their feet.

For effects I use an app called Pixelmater but that because I don't have Photoshop which I'd use regularly if I had it. I also tend to mute colors before uploading to Instagram where I'll replace the color with a filter but never at 100%. Something like Lo-Fi or Mayfair at 26% with a slight vignette.

Articulation's much better than Black Series, about on par with Figuarts minus the toe joint. The Stormtrooper kit I built uses a pull-down joint system on the elbows and hips so you can do pretty much any pose.

>>6103025
The hard plastic cape on Vader is a big problem and can make posing difficult. But if you're willing to customize a soft goods replacement, then he's currently the "best-looking" representation of the character on the market (at least until Mafex RO Vader is released).

It's either that they went with the more white looking hue that the blade originally had pre-special editions (old fags kno) or that thepicture's lighting and the fact that its behind glass mask its color.

>- hair and paint look better in person than in pictures
This is a lie told by people who have never seen the figures in person.

In person it looks all fuzzy, like it's a 3d printed figure because of how rough the faces look.
And these little grains of plastic are much smaller than the dots they squirt on the Figuarts' faces.

So if you want to buy a SHF featuring a real person's face, do so in person, so you can make sure you're okay with the rough texture.
Don't be like the liars in this thread who need to convince themselves that the paint job doesn't look bad by getting others to buy it too. A lot of these liars haven't even seen the figures in person.

>>6103139

I own several. I'm speaking from experience, you twat.

You're probably talking from your ass because you can't afford them.

Show me a better one in 1/12 or quit your whining.

>>6103158
i can afford them just fine.
I pass them over in stores because of the stupid economy mode print jobs.

So you can see the rough looking faces too, eh? If you say the paint job doesn't look rough/textured/blurry/etc, you're a lying fanboy.

>>6103166
You have to hump the figure with your eyes to notice the dot print, 6 inches or more away they look fucking great.

>>6103166

Then don't buy it. Nobody cares whether you do or don't.

And again, if you think its so bad please, please, please show me a better one in 1/12 scale.

I'm just warning people that they should be aware of the fact that the paint job is rough looking and that they should find a way to see them in person before plunging away.
It's like telling people that all the figures has a loose joint or that it has a painted detail instead of sculpted. It's a fair warning to know what to expect.
We'd have far fewer people trying to convince others the paint job is amazing if they aren't blindly buying $60 figures they can't return, just to feel better about their own purchase.

>And again
Doesn't matter.
If everything else is as bad, why bother buying anything at all?
You might as well tell me to get Hasbro's 5PoA Star Wars figures for character X just because it's the only one in existance. Get some standards and know that you don't NEED to buy it just because it exists. It's better not to waste your money, unless you have no standards.

I care.

>>6103189

So what you're saying is that there isn't a better option in 1/12 scale and you're getting sand up your vag for no reason?

While no figure is perfect the Star Wars Figuarts aren't "rough looking" maybe Black Widow and Ep II Obi Wan but to make a generalization like that makes you seem like you don't know what you're talking about. But what do I know, I'm a Bandai fanboy "liar" right?

Nobody here needs anyone else's validation on what they buy and it's always an eternal circle jerk on whether the faces on these are good or not. Spoilers, they are.

And yet again, if they're so "rough" looking show me a better one in 1/12 scale. I beseech you. The way you knock these you obviously know of some secret Hot Toys looking 1/12 figure so for the love of God post it already.

>>6103192

>>6103139

With standards that high you either don't buy 1/12 or you don't own anything at all. I'm with everyone else saying let people get whatever suits them. No skin off your ass whether I or anyone else buys them or not.

>>6103199
Oh geez, stop getting butthurt over the fact I'm just warning people that they should see the figure in person before buying it, because some people do mind that the print quality is set on low and it is noticeable in person.

Again, it's a fair warning, especially on /toy/ when so many people like to lie to feel better about their own purchase.
Yes, it is noticeable, because here you are trying to defend it and ready to say alternatives are shit.

Not him but I've not seen him state there are better options. Just repeat that he feels people should see the Figuarts in person to judge if the print quality suits them.

Him saying people who defend the printing method have never seen the figures in person is stupid of him though, but he hasn't stated there is a better alternative, just people should make their own mind up in person.

Seriously, what is the highest-articulated 3.75" Trooper out there? I want to army build and am not above customizing and kitbashing as long as the articulation is there.

>>6103261

Black Series, for better or worse are the most articulated 3.75 figures out there at the moment.

>>6103248
>Him saying people who defend the printing method have never seen the figures in person is stupid of him though,
When you have people like >>6103168 claiming the paint job is great, it's obvious they haven't seen it in person or are just lying.

A textured paint job that's made completely of dots isn't great, because great paint jobs still exist using fully solid paint applications.

>>6103264
>it's obvious they haven't seen it in person or are just lying.
But it's not, because he is right. You won't see the dots when the figure is on your shelf, but you will if you view it up close.
I am curious how you are so sure that it's obvious he is lying or hasn't seen any in person.

For fuck's sake why can't anyone just show a better option?!

For having dots it isn't anywhere near as bad as what people are making it out to be and its literally the most accurate interpretation out there. By his logic you just shouldn't buy anything the best option isn't good enough apparently

Consider the following: Star wars is popular as fuck, to the point where we're burning through a thread every 3 days or so. On the other hand, most of the people here are too young to have seen bruce lee's movies. Both figures are excellent, There's just an order of magnitude more potentially invested people to shitpost star wars.

Indeed it is. Looking forward to the Game of Death version for even more faces.

I actually have no problem with the metallic paint on the hair. Maybe I've just gotten lucky with mine, but they look fine in the round. Hair generally has some iridescence/reflective sheen to it, I'm kind of surprised it took a company this long to try using metallic paint to replicate the effect.

>>6103257
>It wasn't produced for some lisensing issue or something.
The licensing issue is that 3A never got the license.

They made a few protos of Fett and some stormtroopers to show off to Lucasfilm people, to see if they could get the license.

Of course now, they obviously got some kind of license since they've done some Star Wars inspired figures though in 1/6.

>because he is right. You won't see the dots when the figure is on your shelf
Did you even pay attention to what i said?
Let's repeat
>In person it looks all fuzzy, like it's a 3d printed figure because of how rough the faces look.
>If you say the paint job doesn't look rough/textured/blurry/etc, you're a lying
Yes, he's right that you can't see the individual dots unless you're up close to it, but from even thumbnails you can tell that the paint job isn't solid, that it's made up of a "window screen", like that part of the thumbnial is in lower resolution than the rest.
That is not a great paint job. He's lying or ignorantly misleading people by saying that.

This is why you should buy the Figuarts in person, because you'll see for yourself if the econ mode print jobs don't bother you.
Judge for yourself, instead of relying on people like him.

>>6103281
>And like that, you need to supply some proof.
It's a shame there aren't any companies who make Star Wars figures with actual collector quality paint jobs, but collector quality paint jobs exist nonetheless.
A company like DCC actually understands how to use the dots that Bandai uses. Instead of using the low resolution dots to make up the entirety of the paint job, DCC uses them as shadowing and shading. So it blends together with the underlying real paint job, like shadows and shading do, instead of just showing the unpainted colored plastic inbetween the dots like they do on Figuarts figures.

>>6103494
>Uses clown make up as proof

I guess you couldn't find any examples of a better paint job for a face that can't get away with a cartoon paint job.

Is there website or a podcast or something I should follow that let's me know about new figure releases? That way I can keep up with preorders

Yeah, their Superman looks awful, because like the Figuarts, they rely on flesh colored plastic and put the dots over that.
Pretty ugly.
I miss when DCC actually used flesh colored paint, as it looked far better.

Point still stands though, a figure that uses real paint is better than one that uses a dot matrix printer as paint.

It's a shame various lines are degenerating and taking steps backwards, yet there's people like you cheering them on.

>>6103521
Given the choice for a realistic looking figure. I'd opt for dot printing over how the Luke on the right looks here. >>6103271

Only way I'll get a good quality painted 1/12 scale head is if I do it myself. Since I don't want to do that for every figure that leaves me dot printing or cheap Chinese paintjob. I opt for printing.

I only have Mace Windy, but the likeness is unbelievable. I certainly don't notice any dots or fuzziness.

>>6103531
I've heard really good things about the figure. I'll have to pick it up

Nope.
Like i said, there's a lot of companies out there who still produce high quality paint apps for their 1/12 figures.

Not everyone cheaps out by using print jobs or being stingy with their pennies to the Chinese children.

How is the MAFEX OT Stormtrooper? They are going for cheap nowadays.

>>6100190
I'm in New York, my stores have like 20 thousand fucking Rey figures. Don't sweat it, they will get to you, or at least be cheap online eventually.

Been a while since i looked for star war figures (last time i collected was clone war series). Why the hell do none of the new star war 3 inch figures have articulation? Im not asking for gi joe tier but 5 point is bullshit, how and why did they downgrade the figures?

The Wal-Mart exclusive black series still has articulation, but basically most 3.75" figures are made for kids now. The collectors were told to jump to 6" or bust. It sucks because 3.75" had so much history behind it, but this way Hasbro can resell you versions of all the characters you already had 5 3.75" of.

None of those are any more impressive, fuckwit. Now shut the hell up we were having fun once we all moved past your idiocy.

Court rules in favor of Figuarts

>>6103494
That paint app doesn't look that impressive. Obviously face paint is easier to do than skin. See: Black Series Maul, which looks fucking great.

Like I said before, I have a Figuarts Windu (normally a black series collector because fuck Japan. Also, poorfag), and he looks scary lifelike. I can't judge their other figures, but if they consistently do face likenesses like with Windu, I'll be buying from the line a lot more.

Little furry alien that runs really fast. Originally from the old ewoks cartoon, but then reimagined into a badass furry version of Yoda.

Grievous is also to come at some point.

>>6103546
Pretty decent. Good articulation and looks more accurate than the others imo.

But his waist balljoint pops out constantly and his shoulder pads are attached to his torso armor (like the movies) so I worry about them breaking off in the far future.

He's just a bit taller than Black Series too, so if thats what your collection already is, he fits in great.

>>6103843
Keep in mind that your camera likely cost more than all of your Black Series figures combined.

Is the Figuarts prequel stuff selling? I want to buy some droids, but only if I know that more will come. I need Dooku or Greivious to lead them, and maybe some Destroyer droids to round out a squad (with a plastic dome capsule for a shield effect)

It'll fit right in. If you're worried just paint or "fix" any imperfections like scratches K2SO might have, then he'll look like a clean Imperial droid.
