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

That is the only pose that the toy needs to pull off well.

Not figuarts but ML Old Man Logan goes well with Revoltech Spider-Gwen.

Found my future 'alternative' Hall of Armor accessory.

It's 1/12 scale so I assumed Figuarts Iron Man figures will fit nicely(?)

For some stupid reason I decided this would be a good thing to pre-order sans a job...

Ebay.  Only place I could find it available.

^Cool, thank you kindly.

It seems many, many people are especially excited about The Flash there.

 

But they did have more SHF than just DC.  Akuma it looking pretty great IMO.

There's also silly wrestling girl...

Here's a link for more.  I only posted a pic for DC because some of them look cool.  They also have Dragonball but I have no interest in that.

I'll get the Justice League for sure, glad Bandai is making them, I was hoping crappy Mafex wouldn't be the only ones. I need that Goku Black too, he looks excellent. Easy pass on all of the Street Fighter stuff, not that they don't look good, I'm just not invested enough in the games to start collecting another expensive Figuarts line. I'm a bit surprised they are doing Akuma/Gouki before Ken, Rainbow Mika looks good too. Like I said I'll get all of the Justice League, but man, that Flash still looks frakking awful, that costume design is still pure garbage in my opinion. I would have much preferred Bandai make a CW DC universe line of Figuarts instead, but I get it, the big expensive movies are where the money is.

[no3Ljm]

Ok. So since I'm just collecting Figuarts Iron Man, the only way for me to get Mark 47 is thru a bundle with Spider-Man Homemade Suit?  C'mon Bandai! Now it means I have to get the regular Spider-Man too?! 

 

[Mommar]

Odd to bundle him with the homemade suit.  Also this seems to be the era of bundles for Bandai now.

[Tking22]

I'm in for the bundle, I was going to get both either way. It looks like NY emailed and let me know my second batch of Figuarts Hall of Armors are dropping a little earlier, on the 25th now, along with my Patlabor Tyrant unit and my Figuarts Qui-Gon. Very stupid once again with NY, three orders releasing on the same day, three separate packages going out, no way to combine them since they are all TWE and were all ordered at different times.

[Mommar]

I'm really digging the shininess on that Iron man armor.

Debating. Debating.

I've been doing pretty well staying away from SH Figuarts lately (the only exceptions being Episode II Anakin and Phase II Clone Troopers). But the Spidey/Iron Man bundle & Batpod are tempting.

Might have to try and sell the Bandai Movie Realization Batman and Batpod set I have to justify the purchase...

Ooooh. Now that's tempting. 

 

[no3Ljm]

Good that HLJ opened again earlier the PO for Figuarts Spider-Man Homecoming. Now I'm ready for that Spider-Man/Iron Man bundle.

 

Though up to this day, I really hate paying upfront all these Tamashii exclusives.

And just like that I pre-ordered the Spidey and Iron Man set, Dark Knight Batpod, and Side Labor Patlabor Unit 3 all in one go. It's like pulling off a Band-Aid, you just gotta do it quick and get it over with.

I wish Bandai would use the new DBZ style hips on the JL Superman. It would improve articulation over the normal design.

What's written ng with Supes hips?  He isn't known for being the most flexible guy.

Still. I want to be able to get him in the kneeling, fist to the ground pose he did in MOS.

Some Spider-Man reviews:

 

 

[Mommar]

Bandai hitting that new Star Wars ish.

http://news.toyark.com/2017/08/31/tamashii-nations-reveals-sh-figuarts-star-wars-last-jedi-268437

 

New Captain Phasma with a pike:

First Order Executioner (they're going overboard with these specialty stormtroopers...)

Stormtrooper two pack with various shoulder pauldrons:

Kylo Ren (What a boring costume)

Praetorian with Dual Blades:

Praetorian with Whip:

Praetorian with Heavy blade:

Rey, with BB8:

 

They sure figured out how to market those Stormtroopers and the Praetorians again and again, huh?  And, of course, they fixed Phasma to actually look shiny this time.

Edited August 31, 2017 by Mommar

[Kanedas Bike]

Definitely in for the Rey, even though they never released a figure for her from TFA.

Would also love SH Figuarts Clone Troopers from Clone Wars, like Rex, Fives, etc. but those seem to be stuck with the Hasbro Black Series releases.

-b. 

[Tking22]

New Phasma is a buy, so is Rey and new Kylo, pass on the executioner. I'll get one of each Praetorian instead of 3 of each like I do most CF units, they just don't interest me enough. And if the plain-jane stormtroopers are in two packs then I'll have to get two two packs, I love me some generic stormtroopers, the swappable pauldrons help shake things up a bit.
