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

[Mommar]

My third party NOTAS parts for Endgame Cap came in today.  Two hands, broken shield.  Mjolnir with regular  head and alternate blue glowing head and spinning Mjolnir part (it’s too heavy for Figuarts joints to hold.)  Shield looks good but Cap doesn’t match the grime of the shield.

Interesting.  The advantage of the Iron Man and Cap are that they look suitably dirty like from the final fight but it's too little too late in a lot of ways.  And double dipping effing sucks.  I hate Captain Marvel but I do really like the costume design.  The Mandelorian doesn't look any better than the Hasbro version, really.  Palpatine is weird.  It kind of seems like part of his robe is soft goods.  The hood doesn't, and the sitting version looks terrible.  For the most part the Hasbro one does the job too.

Rescue looks damn fine though, and they actually gave her proper accessories.

[brouken]

Captain Marvel is already up for pre-order at NY: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/29828-shfiguarts-captain-marvel-avengers-endgame-limited-edition.html

So is Emperor Palpatine, though I'm not collecting Star Wars figures.

Rescue is a definite must buy, as well as the ver. 2 Iron Spider. That Nano Gauntlet looks sweet! I wish the Figuarts Professor Hulk could wear it...

I'm torn with the Final Battle Mk 85. That Tony head is definitely tempting. Why am I not surprised that Bandai did not include the Iron gauntlet with the figure? Again, Takara Tony's offering seems much better: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=414090655923809&id=100019686341010

[Mommar]

Even though I really hate the Actress and the way they included the character into the MCU/Endgame I went ahead and bought Captain Marvel because I do really like her costume design from the end of the film (minus the hair...)

I'm hoping the Gauntlet from Iron Spider fits on The Hulk figure they already put out.

[Tking22]

Rescue, Mando, Captain Marvel and Palpatine are all mine. I don't do Black Series so I've been waiting on this Figuarts Palps, looks good to me. 

[Tking22]

Looks like everything above goes up tonight too, except Captain Marvel and Palps since they're TWE. It's gonna be a busy one, sites are going to be crawling.

Does the Mandalorian come with baby Yoda?  Because it should. I have spoken.

I was thinking the exact same thing.  But Figuarts seems exceptionally good at missing the obvious these days.  The Mafex one will have it in two years, no doubt. 

It's too bad they didn't announce Iron Patriot MK II instead.

FYI - All of the Avengers stuff insta-sold out at Hobby Search and AmiAmi, Iron Man 85, Rescue, Iron Spider, Cap.

The Mandalorian was easy to get at both.

Rescue available at NY: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/29843-shfiguarts-rescue-armor-avengers-endgame.html

[Kanedas Bike]

All of them are sold out at HLJ, had all of them (Avengers) in my cart but ended up losing them all as each one went into Order Stop status.

I swear between some stores insane checkout processes and Bandai's insistence of only making 100 quantity of each figure it's a miracle any of them ever make it into the wild.

I think I'm done trying, and probably done with figuarts Marvel in general.

I'm pissed, 50 minutes later and not a single figure I wanted, I was also cart jacked at HLJ and NY, I couldn't even get the frakking Mandalorian. I was at choose payment page on NY and nope, items in my cart were no longer available. What a joke, what a complete crap show, and within an hour Rescue will be on eBay for $90+. frakk Bandai, and frakk all this nonsense, I'm done.

Feel you man.

I've been stalking Amazon Japan, but their search engine is the worst and I haven't found a single new figure listed yet.

*edit N-Y is now using the Waiting Area system they've been getting hammered so much.

I’m surprised that there’s no love for the Mandalorian .

Same.

Was happily able to get orders in for him, so I'm glad he didn't get the same love lol.

Cart jacked at N-Y for Iron Man.

Iron Spider was available at NY. I ordered two by accident. Now asking NY to cancel the duplicate.

[brouken]

Whew! Was able to get Rescue, Iron Man and Iron Spider at NY! Watching the NY spinning wheel of death has got to be one of the most stressful experiences a collector can go through.

In the rush of making the orders, I accidentally made duplicate orders for Iron Man and Iron Spider. I've submitted tickets to cancel the duplicates already. Don't know if that would translate to the items being available again after the cancellation.

[brouken]

Hey, all four are back at NY! Except there's no pay later option anymore:

Weird, Iron Man sold out of those second links you posted already.  Japan really likes that guy, huh?

[brouken]

Both Iron Man and Rescue are sold out again, so yeah, Japan loves Iron Man.

Good. I don't want to be tempted as I have no money for that right now

[tekering]

Final Battle Iron Spidey, Cap and Rescue are now up on Amazon.jp.

[Big s]

Got my 2 rescues from ny. Pay now was no problem for me, so I’m happy 

[Mommar]

I just did pay now and put it on the credit card.  It just rolled over for the new bill so I won't owe anything until Mid January anyway.  That'll work.

This is EXACTLY what I just did for Rescue. Of course, NY already put a markup on her, and made all the new Endgame figures pay up front, so noble of them. Captain Marvel being TWE means I'll get her in a couple of weeks, easy pass on Cap and MK85, so if I can, I just want a new Iron Spidey. 

[Mommar]

Apparently there's more SHF stuff going on.

Here's rescue with the Gwyneth Paltrow Head.

Endgame Groot

One of the Knights of Ren

IG-11

And Super Dirty Mandelorian Storm Trooper and Speeder Trooper on a White Speeder.

Still no sign of baby, though.

Knowing Bandai, that will be the release, final battle of episode 1 version release of the Mandalorean, followed by the deluxe, mid-episode 3 version.

Seriously, I caved and ordered my first Star Wars S.H.Figuarts Star Wars figure because of the IG-11.  I want to recreate the scene of the two of them from the end of Episode 1 where they enter the door.

You bought the Mandelorian in anticipation of IG-11?  Because there’s already a Black Series Mandelorian and IG-11 released and they’re way cheaper.
