The Bandai S.H. Figuarts/D-Arts/S.H. MonsterArts/Ultra-Act Thread

[no3Ljm]

I wish my first edition Mk 6 looked as good as the one in the photos! I may only pick up one or two of the Hall of Armors due to price. Are they and the new Mk 6 an exclusive or will they be available from places like HLJ too? Bandai only released the Mk 6, 42, 43, 45 and 46 I picked up a Figma Mk 7 as a stand in.

Sad to say, it's Tamashii Web Shop Exclusive. And all TWE items over Nippon-Yasan needs to pay it now.

Hmm, I don't really recall my Marvel now variant MkVI looking that off. Maybe the black covers some of that up? Perhaps I will go ahead and pre-order this one since the mold is a bit different.

[Mommar]

So I'm confused. We're pretty much done with October now. Weren't Raphael and Michelangelo supposed to be released this month?

Tamashii site says Raphael was released 10/25. Michelangelo will be released next month (11/30). Did you PO from NY?

No, they don't ship via Fed Ex anymore. And the UPS shipping got ridiculously expensive.

[Tking22]

Lots of cool stuff announced, more DBZ Figuarts, NAPPA! No new Star Wars stuff or Marvel as far as I can see aside from the Hall of Armor. I may get one or two of the hall of armors, maybe none, a bit pricey, I'm still surprised they are actually doing them. It seems Figuarts Tony has sold out at most places pretty damn quick, that wasn't really expected, mine is on the way along with Zenigata, two Phase 2 Clones, 2 Geonosis Droids, and several other things I can't remember.

I did my Turtle Figuarts at BBTS, I haven't seen a 10 day notice for either yet, but as no3Ljm pointed out, Raph should be first and Mikey next month some time.

[Mommar]

I was curious about the Geonosis droids. I likentheir colors better than the Naboo ones. Those Phase II clone troopers are out everywhere.

[Mommar]

Interesting, I never even heard about this. Apparently the were pre-selling Raphael at NYCC just like they did with the Leo and Donnie at SDCC and a few people have already posted reviews.

Too bad the splayed hands only kind of work for holding the Sai in different ways but it still looks pretty cool.

[Mommar]

Dang, I just looked over my purchase list and I've got Figuarts coming out of my ass for the next seven months.

Raphael this month (maybe)

Michelangelo, Iron Man Mk III, Episode II Obi-Wan and Black Panther in November. - 4

Two Death Troopers, two Shore Troopers and K2S0 in December. - 5

Two Tank Troopers and Hawkeye in January - 3

Manga Realization Iron Man Mk III and War Machine Mk III in February - 2

Movie Realization Bow Trooper in March

Iron Man Mk VI in April

Seventeen figures total!!!

[Big s]

Tag hobby had pics of Finn and Rei from the last Star Wars film.

[Tking22]

Yup, now nobody has to bother with awful Mafex, Figuarts to the rescue!

They look good, plus Rey's look is the one from the end when she found Luke, I liked that look more then her other one from the majority of the film. I'm sure we'll get Resistance clothes Finn sometime too. I also read that there was apparently an Episode VII Han up somewhere too, can't find it but I'll keep looking. As I said before, I'm a bit disappointed in there being no other Marvel stuff other then the hall of armors, where the hell is my Winter Soldier and Falcon?

Lol sounds about right, two of each Rogue One variant, except I got four of the Rogue One Stormtroopers, all the Suicide Squad stuff, Panther, four Iron Man armors, Episode II Obi-Wan, the rest of the Turtles. Damn expensive, Figuarts is killing it though.

[Mommar]

Strange choices for Rey and Finn. His first appearance as a stormtrooper and her final two minutes of screen time.

Well, not so strange for Finn. All they have to do is make a new head mold and reuse the first order st body again.

Funny where we diverge. You go for the Suicide Squad/DC stuff and I go for the Movie/Manga Realization stuff.

I wonder how the K2S0 figure is going to turn out. I happened across a Black Series one at Walmart tonight and decided to pick it up. It's a pretty great figure. Hasbro did a fantastic job with this one.

Manga Realization Iron Man Mk III and War Machine Mk III in February - 2

Bandai's Tamashii page only shows Manga Realization Spider-Man and Iron Man.

http://tamashii.jp/item_brand/meisyou_manga_realization/

Where did you see War Machine?

[Mommar]

War Machine is the Civil War one.

[Rabidweezil]

War Machine is the Civil War one.

oh ok. I wouldn't be surprised if a Manga War Machine did show up at some point. Bandai teased a Ronin Boba Fett retool of Jango a while back. Not sure if it will actually be released though.

[Mommar]

I never saw that Jango (it looks way better that the Boba one) but I was thinking they would go ahead and reuse the mold for War Machine too.

I hope they do make that Jango, the silver and blue with the dual pistols and leather-looking holsters looks awesome.

Anybody get their Tony Stark yet?

[Mommar]

Manga Captain America

What's with his face? Even the flesh colored bit is part of the mask?

Edited November 1, 2016 by Mommar

[Rabidweezil]

It looks it might be gold on the mask.

I'm not sure if I like it though. It's interesting, but it just looks...odd.

Maybe official pics will sell it better. Hopefully...

[anime52k8]

the amount of sense this doesn't make is astounding.

Edited November 1, 2016 by anime52k8

[Mommar]

I guess I don't understand why he needs a full mask.

[anime52k8]

I don't understand why this toy exists.

[Mommar]

Because they have the Marvel license and are going to use it on every top tier character.

[no3Ljm]

Same reason why we see different incarnations over at PlayArts too. We're going to produce your cool figures but we also have to design our version deal as well.

[Mommar]

Somebody snuck some other pictures from the Tamashii event.

And a magazine scan of Attack of the Clones Anakin

And something they're referring to as "seamless Figuarts." Using plastic/cloth material to cover the joints.

Looks like we're getting some sort of variant on the Death Trooper as well.

Edited November 2, 2016 by Mommar

[Mommar]

Also, looks like Black Panther releases the 16th, Iron Man Mk III and Episode II Obi-Wan on the 23rd and Michelangelo on the 25th.

Pass on the movie realization stuff, and I don't know how I feel about these "seamless" Figuarts, could be a bust, material could end up being an issue, I'm intrigued but skeptical. Bought on site for all the Figuarts, especially that Anakin, he looks good. I don't think there's any leaked shots of it, but it was also confirmed that there was an Episode II AOTC Padme Figuarts at the event as well, I'll take that too, but we should have gotten a Leia first.

[Mommar]

Hmm, were those Bandai solicits wrong? Says Black panther is due the 16th however NY just said it's been "pushed up" from the 30th to the 25th.

There's one sneaky shot from an angle where you have to zoom to see anything and there does appear to be a Padme in the photo but, yeah, no Leia first?

[Tking22]

I haven't seen these pics posted here yet, I thought for sure someone would've found them and posted them by now. Figuarts Macross girls, don't know which ones, don't know names, I don't like these series and I won't be buying any of these.

I know a lot of folks were waiting on a first look at these, so there you go.

Actually, abbadon already posted those yesterday on the Macross Figures thread since it's part of the 'official' licensed Macross goods.

Ah I see, like I said I don't do the Macross girls figures or statues at all, I always wondered what that thread meant by "Macross Figures", the whole toy section is Macross figures! I guess it won't hurt to have them here too.

True. Actually, that specific thread becomes of a more in general figures, I think. Whether it will be static, kits, or action figures for Macross. But it also belongs here since this is also an official Bandai's Figuarts thread so it's still good.

[Mommar]

If they were pilot figures I might care.

Well I'm baffled. When the hell is Raph going to be released now?
