Tking22 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 NY just charged me an extra $10 for the Heavy Gunner First Order Storm Trooper... What, really? My two shipped out from them Sunday, and I didn't get bothered about any other charges. Were the extra charges for shipping or the product itself? I paid for my two months ago via EMS, how long ago did you pay for your order? Quote

Looks like additional shipping because it's larger than expected... they already EXCESSIVELY overcharge for shipping as it is. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Mine shipped on Monday from NY. No extra charges and I shipped ECO-SAL. Quote
Tking22 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 NY sent me an email this morning that said Figuarts Widow will be releasing 9/24 instead of 9/30, I'll take it. Quote

Mommar Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Lame. This all should have been in the first release.... http://news.toyark.com/2016/09/01/unmasked-kylo-ren-sh-figuarts-images-info-219859?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Oh SHITE!!!! http://news.toyark.com/2016/08/31/new-sh-figuarts-star-wars-rogue-one-219837 Definitely getting Han. I may or may not grab a Rogue One Storm Trooper as well if only to get a Storm Trooper blaster I can use with my Farm Boy Luke. Edited September 1, 2016 by Mommar Quote

But who cares about another lame whiny Kylo? What about all of this good stuff? http://news.toyark.com/2016/08/31/new-sh-figuarts-star-wars-rogue-one-219837 An essentially V2 original trilogy Stormtrooper, Rogue One Imperial troops, and Han Solo finally! Um, hell yes! I'm in for two of each cannon fodder unit, so yep, two of each of these guys. And the new Rogue One droid, and Han, and I guess I need a Kylo V2. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Very nice. Where's my Rey, Finn and Poe? Quote

technoblue Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 That has to be one of the best Han Solo figures I've seen. And the other other teaser photos almost make me wish I was back collecting Star Wars stuff again, but I'm already committed to so many other things. I might pick up this Han as a one off, though. I have the Indiana Jones figma that was released some time ago, which wasn't too bad. And it would be a shame to miss this. Quote
anime52k8 Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Whatever the difference between this storm trooper and the last one? Quote
Big s Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 I need to see a better picture, but it almost looks like more hip clearance and I'm not sure on the little helmet vent details. Quote

I need to see a better picture, but it almost looks like more hip clearance and I'm not sure on the little helmet vent details. Newly sculpted head, which you can see in the picture, it's quite different from the original release OT Stormtroopers, apparently it's more accurate, the originally released Stormtrooper helmets were based on the Star Wars Rebels designs instead of the Original Trilogy for whatever reason. Also re-done knee and arm joints, the knees and arms/elbows will apparently be based on the First Order trooper designs, which is nice because they were near perfect. On a side note, I am super stoker, my two Heavy Gunner First Order troopers were delivered today, I don't get off for more then an hour but I can't wait to check them out! Quote

anime52k8 Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Ok, now that I'm home and can look at my storm trooper in hand i can see what's new. It really is mostly a new hat. I'm so used to the more modern updated storm trooper helmet that the corrected one actually looks a little off to me. The extra hip articulation is gonna be nice though. I wonder how the color is gonna compare to the existing one, I kind of want to put the v1 helmet on the more poseable body. Quote

Yeah the helmet on the original release troopers looked fine to me, I'm not one to go over every little curve with a fine tooth comb, but apparently a large group of fans REALLY hated the helmet, to the point that they completely passed on the figure because of it. To each their own, like I said I think they looked fine to me, but I'll be getting two of these new guys too, updated articulation works for me, that was my biggest problem with the original Figuarts Stormtroopers.

the_foul_fowl Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 That ANH Luke looks really good! In my private warehouse now =D Are these 1/12 scaled? Have the Bandai plamo Vader and stormies, wondering if the SW Figurarts are scaled to go with them. If so, then an ideal fit would be the figures with faces from Figuarts, and armoured figures from Plamo Quote

the_foul_fowl Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Thanks Mommar... I did a little more digging around and saw this on the rebelscum forums: http://forum.rebelscum.com/showthread.php?t=1112356&page=101 Looks like Hasbro's Black series and Bandai's 1/12 plamo are quite close, while Figuarts is a midge smaller. Not exactly the same scale but would be passable! Quote
Tking22 Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) BBTS just messaged me to let me know Figuarts Donnie and Leo are expected in stock within 10 days, I can't wait, they look amazing. edit: Also, MonsterArts Destroyah special color version is on pre-order, web exclusive though. NY has him, but I'd go with BBTS if you can, their price beats NY and shipping will be much cheaper if you're in the US. Good deal if you're not looking to spend $250+shipping for the original release, I missed out on the original so this works for me. Now we just need that special color Biolante announcement and I'll be all caught up on MonsterArts. Edited September 14, 2016 by Tking22 Quote

Tking22 Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Donnie and Leo are on their way!! Mine should arrive Thursday along with Figma DX Link, these things look sweet. I watched several different reviews and they look like some damn solid figures, now the wait for the Shredder they showed off will be that much harder. Quote

For some reason my Link isn't shipping until the 30th... Be honest I was always a Mikey fan so I'm really waiting for him. Quote

Tking22 Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 New magazine scans of the new Rogue One Figuarts. Like I said before, I'm in for two of each, and just look at that new Stormtrooper! He can kneel! I already mentioned above they confirmed the new hip system when they first showed these off, it's more then a new hat, but it should have been standard from the beginning. Quote
Mommar Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Leo and Donnie are both cool but also a pain in the ass. They left out the frigging leg pull-down mechanism again. Pretty necessary considering the shell sticks down in the front. It makes the leg articulation funky. Also, why bother with the ab crunch if you're going to make the shell on the back immobile? Adding insult to injury Revoltech already figured out how to make the shell move with the body on their turtles figures years ago. Looks like somebody finally figured out to fix the Stormtroopers who have practically the same problem. My single kneeling First Order Heavy Gunner suffers from weird hip syndrome because of this as well. Edited September 23, 2016 by Mommar Quote
Dangard Ace Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Finally! SHFiguarts Black Widow is being prepped for shipping! Quote
Tking22 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Finally! SHFiguarts Black Widow is being prepped for shipping! Yup I'm excited, NY just sent me the same email, Widow is almost on her way! Quote
Tking22 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Oh yes, that'll do. Well these two look damn incredible, bought on site once again, well done Bandai. Quote
