He looks pretty dope with dynamic lighting.

>>6458916
I really like his helmet and faceplate, and all the weapons are really nice.


One of the things that the fwoosh really pushed with line, was that they were toy collectors, and they were going to avoid the stuff that annoys us about action figures.

Fumetso doesn't come with any extra hands. He has two weapon holding hands, and thats it.

Not off to a good start.

Paint is about on part with a pre 2016 marvel legendds. Its a little thick, and the applications are a little sloppy here and there, but for the most part, it passes the 12 inch test.

The armor restricts his shoulder range, so no holding the sword with both hands.

I feel like this is one of those annoyances that they were going to try to avoid......

The plastic on the skirt armor is very thick and makes getting any range out of the hips a pain.

he does have very nice range in this ankles and knees.

Armor on the arms comes off, but the torso armor is all glued together so its stuck on.

Seems like a real missed opportunity, and another one of those things they should have avoided, being toy collectors and all....

Heres something I havnt seen anyone else mention. The shoulder joints have a mold defect. The cut for the disk is off center. It doesnt affect mobility, so I guess they decided not the fix it.

Looks like mine came with two right arms.....

I guess that explains why I couldnt get the "left" arm to sit flush with the body.

QC errors aside, Its not a terrible toy, but it IS terribly overpriced for what it is. At $20, I wouldn't be upset. At $45 the value just isnt there.

>They were asking upwards of $40 for these

I'm mentally skimming through the various Figma, SHF, Robot Damashii, etc figures I've bought over the years for less than that that ALL had better engineering and paint, and it's laughable. The most immediate comparison I guess would be the Ninja Slayer Figmas, although those are a lot more stylised.

>>6458976
>upwards of $40 for these
This one was $45 before shipping.

>tfw bought four figures from the kickstarter, two ninjas, shibito and solitaire
>kept solitaire and shibito because they're "alright-er" than the other two
>sold the other two

>spent 145 total for all four figures plus an arms pack when the kickstarter happened
>sold two of them for 300 dollars

>>6459083
Yeah, I made about a grand off 5 ninjas, solitare, shibito, and shinobi.

>>6459087
Still kinda chuckling whenever I think about those jackasses who said they would "snap them up 20 bucks a piece when they flood ebay"

>>6459083
People are really paying that much for these?

>>6459109
Go look for sold listings on ebay

>>6459109
>>6459117
to clarify

looks like the karate guys and basic ninjas are going for just a tiny bit over what people actually paid, but some people are having no problem selling deluxe/other ones for 120+

>>6459120
the fucking arms pack which was 12 dollars in the kickstarter is going for like 65

So is there any reason you didn't consolidate this into the already-existing thread?

>>6459126
Seen it go for 100+

>>6459286
To be fair, that thread turned into a huge argument between two spergs correcting each other and sort of died off.

They sent these in a box that was too big with only that paper to act as padding. They inevitable got damaged in transit.

Forgot my picture.

Is this supposed to be a hood? It just looks like a bag on his head.

>>6460304
Opened them up.

Paint is mostly fine but they all have gummy hips that feel like you'll tear them in an instant,, that spring back when you pose them.

Hands are also loose as shit.

How much do the White Deluxe and Fwoosh Blue go for in the aftermarket? I ordered those two and the smoke ninja and really only want to keep the smoke one.

Alternately i'll be willing to trade one of those two for one of the silver samurai.

>>6460868
sold my white deluxe for 150

sold my blue for 140

I know some of them have sold for almost 200 going by ebay sold listings.

>>6460878
Nice, thank's for the tip. I've started checking out the solds and it's amazing, there're basic reds reaching $150 and up.

They haven't arrived in Australia yet though so i don't know if we'll reach that price point over here.

>Tfw you could've just bought these to make a profit off ACBAfags

>>6458925
I am fucking dying these look so bad. I can't unsee it they look unpainted. the eyes are also very questionable. wow.

I really regret not getting a solitaire

>>6458925
Tabi socks with sandals.

>>6462778
Proper tabi wouldn't show the individual toes like that.

It's like halfway to being tabi while halfway being barefoot. Aka Lazy.

So I noticed my femetsu was having a hard time standing in a static pose when I noticed that one leg is ever so slightly longer than the other.

>>6463566
The problem there is at the knees I think.

>>6462857
I knew those fuck-retarded names would cause issues in communication.

Wait till it arrives then say you received the wrong figure

opened the rest and posed them real quick before i pack them up and move. I think the real value of this line is the mix and match customization which is pretty damn fun.

>>6464217
Those are some nice poses and some nice combinations. The white and black mixups are particularly interesting. And of course the red scarf on the black ninja looks cool. Also that dude with the 6 swords, seems like he knows what he likes.

>>6463566
I thought he was trying to hang himself for a sec.

>>6464217
god DAMN those combos are fucking cool

Out of three figures, none of them have strong enough wrist joints or tight enough hands to even keep their swords held up properly.

What a fucking waste.

>>6464217
did you heat up the joints to take the feet off?

I canceled so I could move my money to something else, but I wish I didn't just to sell them on ebay at this point.

The qc is so all over the place that I wouldn't want to take the risk.

Also I wonder if they'll just sell the left overs on ebay under a different name to reap the rewards

>>6465308
yep

Also want to mention that none of these guys had any real defects that were troublesome or ugly to me. Just the red ninja's left foot popped off too easy and some looseness and tightness on some arms. But all of that is SO EASY to fix if you know what to do

>>6465638
You shouldn't have to "fix" anything if you're paying upwards of 40 bones for something

for toys yea. With what i have im pretty happy i kept some of these though. Selling some extra to get a bit of profit and make it less costy feels good too.

Hopefully if The Fwoosh continues on with a 2.0 or like cowboys or something they'll have better experience to improve

>>6465690
oops meant to reply to >>6465641

>>6462857
SO SAY SO, YOU FUCK. It's like you don't want your problem fixed. Screencapped and sent so some scumbag doesn't blatantly scam them out of a free figure just because you couldn't type some words.

SURE IS ACBA UP IN HERE
Seriosly though, the people at fwoosh better be sucking some acba cock right now, becouse they are the only reason these are popular.

>>6465729
>SURE IS ACBA JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GOOD AT POSING TOYS LOL

>>6465641
Every import figure you get comes in perfect? Whether I buy a Hasbro or an import figure, probably at least half the time there will be something I'll need to fix, more often than not simply tightening joints. It's just a part of the hobby, at least if you're trying to get to as close to perfect as you can.

>>6465729
nah i dont fw dioramas i just enjoy posing. Great practice for my animating

>>6465913
Not him, but I buy about 50 figures a year easy, sometimes more, and the only ones I've had to fix this year were two NECAs, one import figure, and all three of my articulated icons figures.

>>6465641
We found the newbie to figure collecting!

>>6465864
>>6465913
>>6466044
Go back to sucking cock on the Fwoosh forums or just face the fact that these figures kinda suck. They're poorly painted, overpriced, lacking articulation, and are riddled with joint tolerance issues that should've been caught when they received the first samples.

And so all the ACBA shills come out of the wood work. Another reason for me to hate this line.

I never have had such glaring paint issues on my 40 dollar import figures the way these figures had.

The fact that they had concerns about joints breaking and such to delay the figures but the QC is so horrendous that I had to heat up both my arms packs and two of my ninjas to prevent that is ridiculous.

It's one thing to expect issues, but it's a nother if they are trying to say that they are gonna solve those

>>6466066
>>6466114
No one's fault that your knee-jerk reaction to anyone who can pose halfway decently anything is to call it "ACBA", thus bringing out everyone else to get in their diapers about everything having to do with

>>6466156
Who said anything about poseing? I'm talking about your blatant shilling.

>>6466183

>Fwoosh already sent me my replacement part and missing tonfa

Just got it today, Im surprised. Their customer service is better than 4HM i'll give them that

Mine just arrived, specifically the red samurai and evil sensei guy. First impressions? Loose mess right out of the box. The legs/knees on my evil sensei are bad enough that they'll dangle if you so much lift the figure. Best part are the variety of accessories, and I'm most definitely pleased with the quality of the samurai armor/helmet and the evil sensei's Tengu mask. The weapons I got were okay, though it's hard to enjoy them when both figures have loose wrists and any small nudge will cause the hands to swerve with no resistance whatsoever.

I mean I don't know, I got these for the novelty of having an Oni-style armored samurai and a Tengu martial artist, so I guess these do the job well enough. That said, I'd be lying if I said that I feel like I got my money's worth with the shoddy quality of the figures themselves.

Is the best overall figure out of all this the smoke ninja? Mine has been fine out of the box and it lacks any of the paint qc problems.

The icons is more aesthetically pleasing minus the head of course.
Are you talking about the butterfly joints? The ML has only those for more articulation, they both share the same amount beyond those.
The forearm swivel doesn't count since it only exists because of the swap gimmick.
