And Bandai charges damn near $100 for each of these extra bites at the apple. So while it is cheaper than a Hot Toys, you're still spending around $250 if you buy all three versions. And since it's Bandai you still have to deal with their PO BS. If I'm dropping hundreds of dollars, might as well get the much higher quality Hot Toys than multiples of the janky-looking and floppy SHF 85. I got the NOTA accessories so that's good enough for me. I just went ahead and bought the battle damaged 85, since you barely see it in its new condition in the movie. https://www.sideshow.com/collectibles/marvel-iron-man-mark-lxxxv-battle-damaged-version-hot-toys-904923 does nota ever reissue stuff? Can't find their gauntlet and head set. Quote
kanedaestes Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 I scored the event exclusives on the second try. I will finally have Android 17 and 18 Quote
Tking22 Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Monsterarts Biollante is up at BBTS, get her while you can, I'm sure she'll eventually sell out again and be back at $800+ in no time. I think $295 is fairly reasonable, it's certainly above her original retail, but that was years ago, non-refundable deposit as well, she's big and expensive though so that's fine by me. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/131016 Quote
Mommar Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 I was about to ask, was Biollante always $300? Quote

Tking22 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Yeah my Figuarts Endgame Thanos already looks almost exactly like that, I bought the Takasa Tony Thanos arm and sword kit, so yeah, basically identical already. I take it Fat Thor is a regular release, the previous one was TWE, this one will probably be easier to get, only difference I'm seeing is lightning effects, so another pass for me as well. Just give us the damn Endgame Iron Patriot already, that's the big one most fans are waiting on. Quote

Or at least get creative and make an oversized Ant-Man or something too. Quote
Tking22 Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Looks awesome, I'm excited to get my hands on Spidey and his bot. Quote
Mommar Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 I ordered them both through AE so I'll never actually see them. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 not sure this post goes here but....has anyone had issues with Nippon Yasan being able to get SHFiguarts figures you preordered and had to prepay for? as far as NY and them getting bandai stuff...i konw there is some bad history....Yes i know all about the DX chogokin Vf-31A kairos saga years ago. i was one of the "lucky" ones and got it...almost a year after the release date! specifically this time they are 2 and 3 months late on some SHF Endgame stuff(final battle ironman and final battle ironspider). I didn't think there would be a supply issue on those? American retailers (i konw different distrubtion channels etc) have it in stock so i would have thought this would not be an issue. i've submitted a ticekt a couple days ago (After i remembered..."hey i never got these!") and haven't heard back.

Tking22 Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Those faces definitely don't look as good as the promos, I'm still pretty glad I skipped this one, reviews seem pretty rough. I'm hoping the Mezco comes out good. Quote
sh9000 Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 Also waiting to see how the Mezco version turns out. Quote

Mommar Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 What's with the eye-sore yellow? It was never that stark. Quote
Big s Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 That is a bright yellow. Looks more like something in an old school comic Quote
Tking22 Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Yeah that yellow is way, way too bright, it was more mustard colored on the show, with weathering on top. I love the sculpt and detail, but I may to have to suck it up and do some paint work myself, if that's the color they go with that just won't work for me. Quote

I might as well just stick with the Black Series version. They did it well enough. Quote
tekering Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Elizabeth Olsen is 5' 6". Tom Hiddleston is 6' 2". SH Figurarts Loki is a goddamn pipsqueak, with lopsided, Mongoloid eyes. WTF, Bandai? Edited September 25, 2020 by tekering Quote
Mommar Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Bandai totally screwed up the head sculpt but to be fair they've never been able to get scale right on any of their figures. They hardly seem to pay attention ever. Quote
