>>6181303
Well it's 50/50 shot now since Medicos already announced him and D4C before even one SBR SAS got out to release. The other 50% will focus on Medicos pushing out the absolute essentials then deciding on the rest instead of waiting until the end for a villain release.

Though at this point I can already see SBR anons being pissed off non-stop if we don't get Diego, Lucy, and a few others for future threads if Medicos opted for the first option and ending SBR on a super short note. Shit sucks but I hope they can move on since Medicos nowadays are making odd moves.

For WF you mean? Because your first two are already announced with a good chance for a painted Gyro. Diego is now a crapshoot if Medicos will make him (we all know his status as a character but it's obvious now that we may not even get him in SAS form if Medicos has Valentine and D4C announced this soon).

At this point we should just wait until WF itself and hope for the best.

I really don't know what to expect from the 1st, SBR characters don't really have go to colors like some others, Giorno, Bruno, Jotaro and Kakyoin for example.
Looking at SO line we can see stuff like Anasui, Kiss and Jolyne, so I hope Medicos keeps this adventurous spirit, but chooses wisely, I don't really like any of the colors for those 3.

I recently watched tokyo ghoul and was quite impressed by it. How are the SAS figures of tokyo ghoul? They seem stupidly expensive so before i drop my money on them I'd love to hear some opinions on them.
>>
>>6181556
Kaneki and Juuzou are your best bets since they hold up average SAS articulation (Double jointed limbs, waist rotation and so on) and paint apps are okay overall but some shots of Juuzou aren't the best when they show off his screaming face.

There are reviews in the OP that showcase on what you can expect from them and the reviewer does test the posing potential of a figure pretty well in my eyes. However Shuu felt like Medico's worst effort since his suit design doesn't allow for much and his colors are garish in my opinion and doesn't compliment or contrast in any good way.

>stupidly expensive

Medicos are bumping prices for newer stuff now but define this and where have you been searching?
>>
How good are Dio and The World? I'm thinking of getting them just to have more than 2 antagonists facing off against 10+ protagonists.
>>
>>6181569
This guy's right. I got all three to support the line and hope they'll make more, but Tsukiyama is so lazy and bad even I almost regret it. His kagune was stupidly engineered, and his suit is hard-plastic, so it hinders articulation a lot. It also doesn't look particularly good.

Juuzou is a bit better, but out of scale with Kaneki and Tsukiyama (who are in the right scale), and his weapon seems to be fairly fragile, so watch out with that. His leg articulation isn't very great either, but he'll do.

Kaneki is the only one that is S.A.S. quality, which suits me just fine since he's the only one I really wanted. Paint apps are fairly good, the two heads are cool, and if you know how to fiddle with it, the articulation is good, too. He, however, has very few accessories/extra parts so feels a bit pricy for what you get.

Also, you have to use a large extra peg to pin his kagune to his back, which is kinda ugly if you don't put him on a stand anyway. Wish they had found a better way to do that, but overall, Kaneki is a good release.

Tokyo Ghoul will probably not be getting any more new releases. They're moving on to Drifters and RWBY, where they'll probably make the three "main" characters of Drifters and the four of RWBY, before moving on to something else. Also, Steelball Run releases, of course.

Not sure what other licenses Medicos is picking up for the S.A.S. line (if any), but I think Parasyte, Ajin and Tokyo Ghoul are behind them for good.

The World is fine overall even though the hip pieces can't allow a real proper high kick like he does in the final scene between him and Star Platinum. Also there's a QC issue with the eye placement that varies from small and not too noticable to full on "Za Wold" mode positioning. Depending on the Dio you're aiming at Awakened post-Joseph Dio or original P3 Dio then I'll break them down.

Regular Dio is fine but don't put him up near Part 1 SAS since he looks dramatically out of scale. He's a fun SAS given all the accessories but be mindful on which version you get since reissues of Dio and the original have different paint shadings of yellow I believe and some anon mentioned the smirking face removes a line or two.

Dio Black ver. is the one you have to be wary the most on since he has a bad batch of figures that have little QC given to them and have a bevy of issues but you can roll a good one if you're lucky.

WF Dio seems good all around but he is a beefier package due to the papercraft coffin so expect a bump in shipping.

Awakened Dio is balanced with his 1st release with a Wryyyy soundplate and the 2nd colorway gets an SAS merch book and a DVD for the papercraft Roadroller [Sold Separately]. He's okay but if you bend his torso far enough he has a nasty gap in the back you want to hide.

Something similar to these colors are probably what Gyro will get, and Johnny has his default ASB colors sealed in since they're white/blue, and Medicos has done Blue of each protagonist as their first or second. Maybe give him blonde hair since blonde = american for JP.
So long as they don't massively fuck up and give them their horrible EoH colors, we're fine. They wouldn't do that though. Right? Right?

you can bet your ass I will be pissed if they don't release Lucy. She's probably the best female character in the entire franchise (I know this is highly debatable, just my opinion on the matter). I like Jolyne and Lisa Lisa but Lucy somehow comes off as the most well developed to me.

Get yourself a pin vise and try to work something to connect the top end of the neck peg to the neck itself.

Why PVC glue?

He should either use a pin vise to stick a pin inside it and superglue together, if a pin can actually be inserted firmly enough.
OR
plastic epoxy. Sticks everything together like it was made of steel.

PVC won't hold shit. Same with just superglue. Or even those glues that fuse plastic together. You'll need to pin the rods together to enforce the hold.
Epoxys like pic are extremely strong, but even then, you'll want to be a little thick around the broken area, to enforce the hold. Just make sure it doesn't obstruct the joint in any way, or you're fucked, since it'll harden like concrete.

>>
>>6184961
so you gave a man $15 to drill a hole with a pin vice and jam a paperclip in said hole, maybe with a bit of super glue?

Anon, I genuinely believe you have the skills to have fixed that yourself. That $15 could have gotten you a perfectly good pin vice and box of like, 500 paperclips on Amazon and you'd be set to repair things like this for years. Don't sell yourself short, champ.

The .8mm is the right size for pinning with paper clips, anywhere between the 2.0 and the 2.5 depending on the finger can fix overly-tight hand pegholes, and the 3.0mm is perfect for the hole in the back to plug the stage in.

Meant 'figure'. Looks like it's time for bed.
>>
>>6183446
Pin the joint. Do what >>6184967 said, and ask the gunpla thread if you're still unsure on how to pin stuff.
>>
>>6185065
You'd have to be a little careful with that, if you drill too deep into the peg you'd wind up hitting the part going through the neck and then you might accidentally botch the neck articulation.

That being said, botched neck articulation beats the hell out of not having a head.
>>
>>6185074
Also while you were mucking about, it probably wouldn't hurt to either sand the size of the ball joint down a little bit or make some more room in the head sockets to avoid having the same thing happen.

Well now you can make a self-bet that you rolled one of the good Black Dio's. It's possible but have some tools handy if you move Dio's leg and the waist piece breaks or a joint snaps. You still get those rad punch effects so it's not a total loss and really is the main reason you would go through the trouble.

It's because of really shitty design choices and QC issues. Star Plat IV's neck joint is stupidly thin, which is bad enough on its own. but then you find out that the black paint on the hair has a tendency to fuse with the ball peg. So it's basically a game of how much stress can your shitty joint take and how fused is the joint thanks to the stupid black paint.

I got unusually lucky. I know a lot of other people didn't.

This decision pissed me off so bad that I am still fuming about it and refuse to order any SAS in the future. I will pick up a few old releases i'm missing and then I am fucking done with them. Their prices getting way out of hand already had me questioning my support for the line but this sent me over the edge and then some.

On a secondary note...fuck them for never re-releasing alt colors of popular/rare releases people clearly want. Fuck them for giving those releases exclusive accessories (see: smiling Josuke face). Finally, fuck them for abandoning JoJo to do a bunch of mediocre shit they don't even care about. The Drifters look phoned in, the Tokyo Ghoul stuff was mediocre, the Parasyte was ok but had a few lame restrctions and the Ajin was the only true awesome release.

The RWBY will probably be expensive and lame too, not to mention taking up 4 slots.
>>
>>6187067
I seriously don't understand why they wouldn't rerelease popular colors if nothing else. Wouldn't figures like Kira and Killer Queen 2nd essentially just print them money?
>>
>>6187079
Who knows. They operated with 1st colorways being always the reissue idea and what's odder is the Swarovarski SAS are typically super common colorways you can always find easily and for cheap. There seems to be an aversion to the hot selling colors if a particular character gets that many variant releases if it isn't WF and whatnot.

My own theory is some higher up feels the more popular colorways should be 1st runs only and leave them at that and collectors have to scavenge 2nd hand for those.

I like how a few covers with crazy colors apparently invalidates hundreds of pages of colorized manga and the anime run. The anime/manga colors will 100% be in highest demand and should get the most reissues. I like the crazy colors too, but by only reissuing the first colorway Medicos is shooting themselves in the foot for no reason. We wouldn't have dumb canon color debates if they would just release the most popular colors. A pink KQ reissue during the climax of the anime would have sold out instantly.

It's just a tired argument at this point against Medicos. They obviously don't plan to reissue more popular colors and believe only SAS 1st's should be the primary choice.

If anything I want them to actually re-imagine their articulation schemes and try to retool SAS's but I know they aren't GSC or Bandai but it would be better than the same reissue for us to complain about for threads on end. If Bandai wasn't so dominant in Kinnikumen I'll glady see a proper 2017 revival of this series but Medicos is aiming to find more lesser known niche's that other companies haven't tried commiting fully.

In an odd way they are sort of like Kaiyodo/Revoltech in terms of IP choices.

But Araki in the manga described him with golden like hair.
Those are covers but the manga is clear, in that Dio is blonde.
I wish I could find the page and post but I can't remember what page it was
>>6188436
I never went against that though, I just pointed out that how there's no canon colors when in the manga they described him as a blonde guy
>>
>>6188389
The colors decided on for the anime and colored manga aren't drawn by Araki and definitely isn't him saying "yeah that's the canon colors for the characters". It's Araki basically just giving his stamp of approval saying "yeah that looks fine go for it". Araki has stated many times before there's no canon colors and he just likes drawing his characters in whatever looks good. So yes, some colorways have been popularized by the anime and manga but there are no canon colors precisely because Araki himself has stated it and because he enjoys drawing them in so many crazy colors and ultimately it's up to Medicos what colors they make 1st and 2nd which for the most part have been good decisions as the 1st colors are usually the colors from the color manga to make autists happy.

tl;dr, No canon colors. If you're mad about paying latecomers tax on popular colors then that's your own fault for either getting into the line too late or not having enough money

Good thing you like it, that's the way it is.
Color manga is something the publisher does for digital releases, not Araki's vision by any means.
Only thing that comes to mind regarding Medicos and the color manga is Fugo's white hair and red suit combo, which I've never seen together in a Araki illustration, only in Shueisha's coloring.
The anime didn't even exist when the line started, not to mention that it's just a glorified advertising for the manga, I don't really see the point of bringing it up.
I do agree Medicos should reissue recolors tho, it's pretty dumb of them not to do so, I just think you got your reasonings backwards.
>>
>>6187105
I'm kinda glad the Swarovski stuff uses the first colors - it means they're a little less tempting. Could you imagine how cruel it world be if they did custom palettes for those?
>>
>>6188843
Well they are locked behind a lottery system and you still need to pay for it even if you win though you avoid the exorbitant aftermarket they go for. Even if they did the popular colorways or even a custom/alt from other artworks then you may have to deal with higher rarity by collectors withholding them or a higher pricetag post-WF but I guess that's the sort of allure of it to me. It's either you get lucky and have the cash on hand or know someone to know someone that can hook you up on a decent price.

Medicos is just plain odd seeing how they are a company that does this well with recolors for an IP that has a very varied collection of characters in outfits and colors in artwork.
>>
>>6188573
Do the main characters actually just go straight up gay?
>>
>>6188941
No. Might as move this conversation to /a/ but Araki does take notes from fashion and I would imagine fashion models and various sculptures and artwork that would lend itself to the art he does. Those little black and white sketches he does are another inspiration from fashion I believe or another artist within that industry.

There are two things I collect, JoJo SAS and Kinnikuman Figuarts. While that Soldier looks super sweet, especially the camo, Medicos would have to really, really step up their game.

Quick question, how's Ermes and Kiss? I don't ever see too many pictures of Stone Ocean collections, much less impressions on them (aside from people mentioning Jolyne rocket elbows). Any articulation or QC hang ups or issues?

Really standard but I remember one anon mentioning one of those antenna pieces on Kiss's head was bent but I wasn't sure if that was out the box or slight mis-handling, granted they look delicate anyway for being plastic sticks on top of her head.

Most people seem to ignore or shit on Kiss for the poor but understandable choice of colorway as a 1st release. Also the really bizarre choice of Medicos introducing a sort of "plug piece" to put into Kiss's back to show off the sticker but not choose the strongest aspects of Kiss which is her ability to replicate objects touched by the stickers (or at least what I remember off the top of my head).

Hermes seemed to go undetected which explains the lack of shots but I do know some anon's did purchase her.

I think we're safe when it comes to Valentine and D4C but I'm so worried about Johnny and Gyro. Many of their palettes don't look so good when ripped outside of the context of the cover they appear in.

At least when they eventually get to part 8 Yasuho is all but guaranteed to have pink hair.

I found it generally decent but it had shortcomings like no F.F and also no Weather Report (Stand SAS). Kiss has her own drawbacks as noted above and the real standout oddly enough was Annasui and Diver Down with those effect parts.

Jolyne must've had a bad batch of poorly attached elbow pieces to have caused "Rocket Elbows" to be a thing but she's decent but the string effects could've been improved upon. Her WF colorway and general package is a letdown though which feels like a general release versus an exclusive. Another noteworthy SAS was White Snake who was surprisingly big and the GACT printing is actually decent given the coverage and details. CD's on both Pucci and White Snake do require you to use stickers but they are serviceable.

Pucci is okay, Medicos had a rather stiff wall to climb to deal with his outfit and the hinged areas of the robe don't lend to a lot of good poses when they are spread out. Also no "regular" head but his post-green baby head was chosen for some reason (With SO done we can't expect the future forms of his stand now). So it's a really odd decision if we can't see a Made in Heaven SAS or SL to compliment his look.

Weather Report is decent but again, no WR stand but his clouds and a DD leg to swap, Hermes was noted in an above post. Stone Free is actually good in my book for SAS quality though I didn't get lucky with the qc since her robo-head sculpt has some deformity. Also the default head sculpt is ass in my opinion.

>>6190491
Why would Jotaro have/need a 2.0? The only Jotaro figure we need at this point is the Stone Ocean one and we're never getting that.
>>
>>6190485
I'm trying to decide which p5 figures to get before they inevitably get more expensive. Pink Giorno, Diavolo, Guido second and Polpol are in the bank.
Perhaps I should get their stands, but still, fugo and PH together are so cheap, and narancia is too. I think I'll pass on Abbacchio and Trish, sadly, since sometimes abbacchio is sort of cool but in the end he looks just too edgy for me. The bruno boat has long sailed for me, 5k for first is too much and the second sucks, feels bad.
Sigh.
>>
>>6190029
Man, any hope for Jolyne Second being that color palette?
>>
>>6190491
At that point a stone ocean one would be more than enough. I'm happy enough that polnareff got a good figure with part 5, I'd be just as happy with Jotaro. They could just throw in a "Pucci is stealing my cd's" head and call it a day.

Bizarre lack of fanservice when every other part got tons of shit. Quick breakdowns:
>Jolyne + SF: 1st color has foot and elbow problems, good flexability but her skirt is a little obnoxious and her string parts are fickle. Her recolor is the worst looking SAS imo, which is stupid since she has a million colors. Alt head is kinda dumb. SF is 10/10 with 3 heads and
>Hermes + Kiss: Hermes came out cool, her accessories are all weird. Kiss has a weird color choice and for some stupid fucking reason the backpeg is removeable, so it can be a bitch to stand.
>Weather: No stand...but his clouds are damn cool. Solid overall.
>Annasui + DD: Both decent, Annasui has some weird shoulders (for me) and all the DD parts are really cool. People have gotten pretty creative with them too.
>Pucci + WS: Surprisingly both came out great. Discs are really nice, but Pucci came with fucking nothing. Moreover, no green baby/C-moon/MiH/non-awoken parts are a massive disappointment. Poochie's legs are kinda restrained from his skirt but its manageable.

Eh, I just feel that too much dark blue makes stuff looks a bit flat, same reason I still don't own a Joseph, and the green zippers are not helping. The white and gold looks very elegant, but he just doesn't feel juicy enough for me to spend 5k, while, for example, WF Jona or Wamuu definetly did feel juicy enough to make me open my wallet. Guess it's a combination of size and number of bright colours for me.
>>
>>6190681
I had no idea so many people didn't like Kiss's color scheme, I love it to the point I'm thinking of getting it even though I have no intention of buying Hermes.
Also the Anasui shoulders are indeed weird, but I've always found that depending on how you pose him there's always a way to make them look normal. For example, when in a neutral standing poseyou can just push them all the way up and the weird joint is completely hidden, I feel like they work very well.

I agree, I like the lemon-lime scheme. The only colors I've been disappointed in are the white Kira Bowie head and the lack of shading on Giorno Second's suit (even though I really like the shade of blue they picked). But then again I also really like the magenta Duwang squad and pink Jolyne....

Now's a good time to get Kiss, there's still plenty out there for cheap. Snagged a Kiss and Hermes for 5400 total off of Jungle, and there's plenty of Kiss at 3k on Mandarake.

Prosciutto is literally getting a figure.
Would you have guessed it yesterday or just used the faggot meme again? If he got a figure fucking anyone can, it's just a matter of luck.

So does this mean that Medicos has finally realized what a fucking goldmine they're sitting on at the moment or are they just having a stroke? In like the last 8 months pretty much every figure I own has tripled in value and Mandarake has like a quarter of the stock it did when I was collecting. If they don't go all out on reprints and revisiting old parts they're fucking crazy.

Yeah that shit is just EZ money just waiting to be claimed.

Picking Prosciutto of all things leaves me really confused as to whether they're actually committing to more Jojo in the long term or if they just knew the part 5 anime was coming up and rolled the dice like a stupid retard and then bail if it doesn't do stellar numbers.

I guess if they don't do a SC Jotaro remake soon it confirms they have brain damage.

I'm a little worried about Gyro's hip pieces being that small from the look of it since I planned some solid throwing poses and the legs range of movement looks restricted. At least Johnny is looking good

>>6193955
Valentine was a recent decision from my guess so it isn't sensible to expect a proto that quickly. They are probably following what happen last time and it was a basic text announcement of Gyro and Johnny and wasn't a guarantee we would seem them super soon. Valentine and D4C will have a prototype next WF though is my bet.

>>6193972
I'm just anticipating people just going after others that are interested into those SAS and having the thread have a million replies to them just for having interest and not purely for the fact they get a proper articulated figure at this scale and made by a decent company.

Worst part is this'll probably be about $70 and is extremely barebones. Proscuitto being released before even Doppio is also completely baffling. Are medicos retarded?

Was Prosciutto really that bad/strange for a starting point?

It's not surprising that Medicos would dip back into Part 5 in favor of Parts 6-7 (for a while). And sure, it's not Doppio, but I was under the impression that Prosciutto was at least on the "fairly popular" side of Part 5 minor villains in nipland.
>>
>>6194686
He is.
>Stand is completely separate and arguably not enough to buy alone because it's just an upper half
>Appears about midway through passione fights with Pesci and gets fucked pretty fast
Not going with Doppio or Nero is such a weird move. What would proscuitto even come with? How many scenarios could you pose him in? The only reason he made a presence was because he survived after getting caught in a train.
>>
>>6194672
Was there any artwork that WF Jolyne was inspired from? I understand Okuyasu's choice of colors and Medicos was aiming for a brighter scheme for most of Stone Ocean but I can see WF Gyro or Gyro 2nd being tamer in some form so I feel they won't repeat pink again.

>Nyo ho head is made out of overcooked play-doh

I doubt that but the printing on the teeth us what I would question the most.

>>6194686
If we knew they would finally start doing side-villains I would imagine a lot of people would have their own personal favorites to expect. At the very least we know they can tackle more of the eccentric characters which makes me realize Jojolion, when they ever reach it, would offer up a shot at some of the rockmen SAS in the far future.

Yes, god damn it. He's already got a fucking shelfwarmer Statue Legend in two colorways. Are they going to make a Pesci to go with him, even though he's already got a Statue Legend too?
Everyone saying, "Oh, this opens up so many new possibilities!" are fucking stupid. If they were interested in revisiting older parts, why not address glaring openings in the current roster? Who's fucking next, Sports Max? Are they going to make a Terunosuke SAS, when he also has two Statue Legends? How about Vanilla Ice, he only has 3!

Strange, definitely, bad, no.
He seems to be very popular in nipland, same for the whole Squadra, actually.
He's design is great and it also shows that even if characters have been made into SL they can still get SAS.

>>6194686

colours are great for once, but it looks like the hat is just floating on his head. Hope it's just the angle.

>people are mad about my boy Prosciutto getting a figure
Buying him soon as he comes out, Part 5 had the best minor villains.

MY NIGGA.
I'm super intrigued too, there are people honestly thinking Medicos will do Prosciutto and be done with minor villains/old parts, wtf.
>>
>>6195374
>Part 5 had the best minor villains.
Agreed, but I think they could've made a better first pick than Prosciutto.

>>6195439
Nero please

Ghiacchio please

>tfw if we do get him they wouldn't do an armor-less version
>>
>>6195469
well his SL is armored, so that might make them go for his usual outfit, which would look better next to his buddies too

This colorway is a solid 5/10. It's definitely not the one I wanted, but it definitely could have been worse
>>
>>6195549
I just wish the blue was green and the purple was a bit darker. Besides that, I'm happy with it.

>Everyone saying, "Oh, this opens up so many new possibilities!" are fucking stupid. If they were interested in revisiting older parts, why not address glaring openings in the current roster?
No, you're just worked up and possibly butthurt.
They still can, and likely will.

Black DIO is the only SAS I've had that broke, torso snapped right in half after a minor fall.

No idea what they did different with it in terms of QC.
>>
>>6194478
Seeing it up close, I really like this color scheme, especially since it's kinda muted like a lot of the SBR stuff.
>>
why does everyone write Ghiacchio, that shit reads out as Ghiakkio
it's Ghiaccio
>>
There's already a black pucci on mandy. Box is fucking weird tho
>>
Guys, how does the size changes between Joseph and Giorno or any other from the VA? Is the change minimum? Can somente post some pics?
>>
>>6196346
Joseph is reasonably much taller and bigger, as it should be, don't have him so I can't post any pics, but he should be about the same height as King Crimson.

I think he's way taller, I have Joseph posing like this and even he ends being taller than Giorno.
>>
>>6196385
>>6196367

Thank you guys. Are all the other sas after stardust cursaders the same size? I know there is a difference between jhonathan, Joseph and jotaro, and I wouldn't like all them with bizarre diferences in height!

Maybe Giro will come near his stature?

Everything is pretty much in scale except for part 3 and 4 figures. Part 1 and 2 figures are all fucking tall, with the part 1 ones being just slightly taller, so unless you pose them standing straight side by side, Jonathan and Joseph will look the same height, Jotaro will look much smaller although he's supposed to be just as tall. Part 5,6 and probably 7 too, are "regular" sized, and they all look in scale with each other and with stuff from part 1 and 2.
>>
>>6196441
Thank you friend!
>>
>>6195501
yeah the hat still doesnt look like its even on his head.

I liked it, but it could have been much, much better.
