Tking22 Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Well I'm baffled. When the hell is Raph going to be released now? Yeah I'm wondering too at this point, I guess Raph and Mikey's releases won't be that far apart after all. Either way I need my Raph, I'm disappointed they couldn't mimic what the Playmates Classic Turtles did with the individual fingers, that allowed Raph to hold his sais in several cool ways, oh well, these are probably some of the nicest, most premium feeling Figuarts I've ever handled, and at this point I've got 103 Figuarts and counting.

I'm honestly surprised somebody at one of the conventions didn't bring that up with the Tamashii Nations people. They got a lot of comments about correcting the color of green used on the turtles. Nobody thought to mention Raph needs special hands to hold the Sai in the different ways? Quote
Mommar Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Did anybodies Geonosis Battledroid or Phase 2 Clone Trooper figures come in? What do you think of them? Quote
Tking22 Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Did anybodies Geonosis Battledroid or Phase 2 Clone Trooper figures come in? What do you think of them? I got my two Phase II Troopers and two Geonosis Droids about a week ago. They're fine, I like them, no improvements or changes over the original releases, so if you didn't like the original droids and Phase I Clones, you won't like these guys either, it's just a re-color for the droids and a new hat for the Clones.

I saw a review of the Geonosis Droids and one of the little bits on the bottom of the torso was completely the wrong length on the left side. And it was strange. I was wondering if that was a bizarre defect because it wasn't even as long as the one on the right side. Quote
Tking22 Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 I found a gallery for Figuarts Black Panther, he looks frakking glorious, I think they nailed him. Would some other accessories be nice? Yeah, but he didn't use anything else in the movie so this works for me. https://www.facebook.com/jomudyeahtoy/photos/?tab=album&album_id=336462280043420 Quote
Mommar Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 Comparing it to the ML one will be interesting. Kinda odd, the e-mail I got from NY says the release was pushed up to the 25th from the 30th. The Bandai solicitations say it should have been released two days ago. Quote
Tking22 Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 Another good gallery for Figuarts Black Panther is up. The thing looks incredible, that detail is beautiful, once again, I don't think the Legends or Select comes even remotely close. http://shishioh.info/SHF_BLACK_PANTHER.php I mean look at that detailing! Quote
Mommar Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 Confirmation of different swappable hands finally. Also, is it weird Insaw those later shots with the effects parts and my first thought was how come they nevwr used Black Panther in any of the Marvel vs Capcom games? Quote
Mommar Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 No frggin' clue how this guy got his already... Quote
Mommar Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 FINALLY I've got confirmation Raphael will be shipping in the next ten days. Seems like the TMNT production/releases were pushed back. Michelangelo was supposed to be this month and Raph last month. I wonder if Mikey will slip to end of December now. Quote
Mommar Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 Okay, when did Han go up for Pre-order? At CDJapan now... if you're slow like me. Apparently Episode II Anakin is a web-exclusive. Anybody seen him yet? Quote
Dobber Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 Hey thanks for the heads up, snagged a Ep IV Han at HLJ. I just wish these were a little larger to be in scale with Black Series, MAFEX, and Bandai figure kits. Chris Quote

Anybody seen him yet? Han went up for pre-order weeks ago with the new Figuarts Rogue One stuff, he's been available at HLJ forever. Quote
Mommar Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 Han went up for pre-order weeks ago with the new Figuarts Rogue One stuff, he's been available at HLJ forever. Yeah, I feel like a dope for forgetting I already pre-ordered him. But I was looking to see when pre-orders for Chewie and Episode II Anakin would start wince they're due out in February and May. Looks like Anakin is a web exclusive. Quote
Tking22 Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 I like NY but I also hate NY. I got a notice this morning that Figuarts Black Panther and Charizard are both preparing to ship, I had requested to combine the orders over a week ago and was flat out denied, apparently paid for pre-orders can't be modified in any way, very lame. Now I've got two packages shipping out from the same exact place at the same exact time, they couldn't just combine them and send me an updated PO for shipping or something, very lame policy. Quote
no3Ljm Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 It is indeed a lame policy. But it's the only place where I can get exclusive items. The only thing I can do is get the cheapest shipping option with tracking. And I do have 2 separate exclusive preorders already been paid for next April. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) I got Figuarts Leonardo and Donatello at Barnes and Noble, each with a 30% off coupon code (BNBFRIDAY16). Each came down to 36 bucks. Many thanks to MW member kajnrig for passing the word in the Gundam Plamo thread! Edited November 24, 2016 by Valkyrie Hunter D Quote

Many thanks to MW member kajnrig for passing the word in the Gundam Plamo thread! That is a wicked deal! Speaking of Turttles, Raph is FINALLY available. I guess mine will be shipping next week thanks to releasing up against the Holiday. No biggie. Quote
kanedaestes Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 Done. Also make sure to buy them separately to get the deal on both. Quote

Mommar Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Pre-order for Anakin is on now, didn't see Chewie yet, though. Quote
Dobber Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Were can one preorder a tamashii exclusive? Chris Quote
no3Ljm Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Were can one preorder a tamashii exclusive? Chris Safe place to get TWE stuff is Nippon-Yasan. Quote
Mommar Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Chewie preorder is on Dec 1. Looks like Anakin is weird, initial orders get a second angry face and the additional green saber. Later orders only get the one head and saber. Odd for a web exclusive to have that. Raph is due to arrive Tuesday. Initial Rogue One stuff should be out sometime soon too unless all of the Bandai solicits I've seen are wrong again. Quote
Mommar Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 I totally forgot this was on the way. Iron Man Mk3 Review Quote
Dangard Ace Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 Yay. NY just shipped Black Panther! Quote
no3Ljm Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Anyone here have a naked Figuarts Male figure and Beagle/MP 1/10 Ride Armor figure? If so, can anyone please post a photo of both figures (sans motorcycle) standing together. Just curious to see them together. And also which Figuarts (male character) is the tallest one released? Thanks! Edited November 29, 2016 by no3Ljm Quote

Mommar Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Holy crap I have five different packages en-route right now. All SHF something or other. Black Panther, Obi-Wan, Iron Man Mk3, Raphael and a Godzilla that was on sale... everybody needs a Godzilla, right? Quote
kanedaestes Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Been out of the figuarts game for a bit but getting back in. My Black Friday Barnes and Noble purchases came in. Leonardo and Donatello Quote
