4 Days until the new movie releases.
Online and brick and motor stores are flooded with new merchandise, with even more on the horizon.
What releases are you looking forward to?
>>5336546
So, why aren't we talking about the greatest toyline ever? I'm too poor for the Hot Toys, so it's S.H.Figuarts for me. No other companies are even in the running, so let's cut all the Hasbro discussion.
>>5336623
>not buying a few hot toys and then black series for the rest
fucking pleb
>>5336546
We don't need a permageneral dedicated to Star Wars; their stuff pops up in half the threads we already have, and you clearly have nothing new or interesting to say about the subject anyway.
>> Kickboxing someone with a light saber...
>>5336623
>SHfiguarts
>greatest toyline ever
Hahaha oh wow
>>5336678
Alright.
>>5336799
>>5336656
stop falling for it. thanks.
I swear to god if my Walmart does not get in the Battlefront Stormtrooper I am going to scream
>>5336825
You're welcome!
>>5336678
Okay, we'll all stop posting in this thread!

>Black Series
>Good toyline
Still no sign of 3.75" Black Series walmart exclusives here in SoCal. Anyone wanna hook a nigga up?
>4 days until movie releases
this is /toy/, not /tv/. the movie does not matter

>Vader is same height as Luke
>Phasma is same height as Stomrtrooper
WTF Bandai
Finished putting together my 1/12 scale first order trooper last night.
>>5337272
He comes with 3 sets of hands. Fists, trigger hands, and open hands.
>>5337275
He comes with a riot shield, blaster (that can attach to his leg), and stun batton.
>>5337276
All his joints have nice range of motion. The bottoms on his feet are rounded though for some idiotic reason which makes him hard to pose without using that little plastic square that connects to one foot.
>>5337277
Scales well with black series.
>>5337280
Doesn't really require any paint. He does come with some decal and water slides though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqAvI15yZV4
>>5337281
Hes got these really nice pull out shoulders that give him an enormous range of motion.
His neck and wrist joints are limited though.
>>5337010
That's funny, I don't remember saying anything about the Black series. Maybe you have me confused with someone else?
Thisis not the thread you're looking for, you want to discuss the old figures as well. Move along.
>>5337311
Hm?
gamorrean guard figure?? its a cool design and yet that piggy doesnt have a decent figure, wheres the justice
>>5336546
Guys, what's the best Jawa toy? I love the fuckers!
Pic unrelated
>>5337695
Yeah that's actually kinda surpriseing.
>Jabba the Hutt Black series at TRU today for $20
Today didn't suck. I haven't opened it just yet because I'm not home, but it seems like a decent figure. Getting it for the same price as all the other Black Series I'm sure wasn't bad.
>>5337739
Actually I'd like to know this as well, was thinking of getting a few to bad-touch my robot character figures.
>>5337281
BS Stormtrooper looks sad.
>>5337695
>its a cool design and yet that piggy doesnt have a decent figure
Uh...yeah, it has a GREAT figure actually, the Vintage collection release is about as perfect as you can get. Otherwise Sideshow did a nice 12" version.
When is the General Hux Black Series wave supposed to hit shelves, January?
>>5338087
>Vintage collection
too small, gotta be 6 inches to fit in with the rest of my gang
just got my droid from amiami
the 3800 yen price tag seems a bit high for what it is. if they were a bit cheaper I would army build the fuck out of them
>>5338153
It isn't too small! He's the ideal size!
Maybe the fur is a bit too puffy, but he's almost perfect. I can only see companies just fucking it up trying to do him again, even in 1/12 scale.
Picked up two Phasma black series from california Targets today. Shit was untouched , had to ask an employee to look in the back for the new wave and he came back with an unopened shipment box of wave 2 figs. Is it really common that stores don't put out figures like this? There was room for it on the pegs along with a few Finns and Constables.
>>5338242
I almost don't want to believe you. Because I have never ever in my experience had a time where I asked, or someone I knew asked to "check the back", and the employee came back with something.
I just got this swarthy bastard. Gave my brother the riot trooper since he's gay for Storm Troopers. Wonder if he'll get a figuarts.
>>5338274
Probably not, but here's what it wouldlook ilke if they did
generals are the worst thing that's happened to /toy/
>>5338338
You know what, I'm not even going to post a passive-aggressive sarcastic comment this time. Just explain your stance to me. I honestly don't see you making any sound argument but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt because I'm genuinely interested in how you formed this... opinion.
>>5338348
dunno lol, 1st post here 2bh, people say that about generals elsewhere so it's probably true
>>5338273
Believe it senpai. I asked them to see if they had the TIE fighter pilot from this upcoming wave and the stock guy and floor employee knew nothing about the characters, so naturally they just showed me all they had in stock by meeting me at the warehouse double doors. I initiated the convo by showing them the "in stock @ this location thing for the Pilots page on target.com. So they and myself thought they'd probably be in the back.
At the second Target I went to, they brought two unopened boxes of Wave two figs after I asked for the Pilot again. This woman cut the boxes open right in front of me in the aisle and handed me the phasma. Didn't stick around to see if they put the rest on the pegs but she probably did.
Always ask an employee who looks nice and probably doesn't know things about Star Wars, so they'd be less inclined to make assumptions on what they have in the back room. People willing to help you who don't run the toy section have no fucking clue what you're asking for so they usually just go look in the aisle for you and then check in the back.
>>5336546
What's a good sandcrawler toy that doesn't cost more than building the real thing?
>>5337842
My walmart has Jabba on clearance for $30. Tempted, but how is he?
>>5338531
Wait for the Figuarts
HOL UP
I only buy two of every "grunt" but this image shows Master Dindu fighting three Battle Droids!
>>5338531
I had the comic con one that I never took out of box and then bought the regular one on clearance for $12 at Target and I'll say that he is not worth more than $20.
Black Series Jango looks surprisingly good.
>>5338856
More Jango. This is a removable helmet and not a swappable head, which is surprising because Hasbro's removable helmets have historically sucked.
>>5338856
Face sculpt looks great. Again, ruined by the paint apps but that's no surprise.
>>5338853
When in doubt, wait for the inevitable S.H.Figuarts. This isn't rocket science, guys!
>>5338856
>>5338861
>>5338864
Ever heard of Bandai Tamashii Nations?
>>5338861
Does the head come off?
>>5338868
Looks just like Temeura Morrison, thanks Tamashii!
>>5338868
The joints on the Figuarts Jango looks really bad. Usually I'm a figuarts guy but something about what I've seen from the Jango they're putting out has me limp.
>>5338870
The helmet is hollow and fits onto the temuera morrison sculpt head. The head is probably on a ball joints as usual.
>>5338856
MOAR
>>5338856
>>5338885
>awkward and stiff
So he fits in with the Prequel era perfectly then
>>5338885
It's all in how you pose your Black Series figures.
the only thing aside from face paint apps that I've preferred Figuarts over Black Series were the drop down hips... Which we didn't even get with some figures in the line that needed it like the Clonetrooper.
Their arms are great for posing but a lot of them have joints that look clunky and obvious. Case in point: >>5338868
Figuarts I find is 50-50 in terms of how their figures turn out. it's almost like they hire completely different sculptors for each figure, (The Jedi Luke and Stormtrooper don't even look like they belong in the same line) there doesn't seem to be a stylistic consistency and that to me detracts from how obviously amazing their poseability is.
That being said I'll do the same thing I do with most of these: Get the Black Series first, get the Figuarts next, then sell whichever I like less.
>>5338911
(Same anon posting)
And to be fair I see a lot of Figuarts fanboys' points when they talk about Black Series' downfalls. Not as poseable, loose joints right out the package, inconsistent to consistently bad paint apps, I mean the list goes on.
Really it boils down to which one catches my aesthetic attention from figure-to-figure. I have no particular loyalty to Black Series or Figuarts either way and doing so will only lead you to disappointment eventually,
In this case I just really like that fucking Black Series Jango.
...Minus the misplaced eyebrows
>>5338911
Nice Blog post M8
>>5338930
>>5338868
Tamashii is a line that never fails to disappoint, which is why I don't preorder any of their stuff anymore. They charge figma prices but produce half the quality. Their Vader couldn't even hold his hands straight out and put both of them on his saber for Christ's sake. I know Japan has the technology to make figures do that, because I have them. While the Black series may not be as good, they are acceptable for the price point and I generally know what I'm getting. For certain figures, I'll take Tamashii, and for others, the Black series.
>>5338840
YOU SAYIN WE WUZ JEDI AN SHIT?
>>5338832
What does the Figuarts offer that the Black series is lacking? We are talking about a big slug here.
>>5338985
>What does the Figuarts offer that the Black series is lacking? We are talking about a big slug here.
You realize that we have a lot of wee/a/boos here, right?
Japanese brands is the only thing that matters for most of them, even when the figures are poorly sculpted and painted.
>>5339015
Checkmate
I have a bunch of black series figures but I'm interested in purchasing a few of the characters from different manufacturers to see if I like them more.
Looking for an English language, online store that doesn't require international shipping.
What websites do you guys use to buy the SH Figuarts, Bandai Meisho Movie Realization, Kotobukiya, etc, etc, (Japanese) figures?
>>5339058
I use the english language version of the Japanese sites, because if you purchase there even with the international shipping it is still cheaper than BigBadToyStore's prices
>>5339035
Yeah I know, I was asking what exactly makes Figuarts Jabba worth the extra cash.
>>5339090
You can put it in all sorts of crazy action poses!
>>5339105
Remember that time he held up his left arm? Totally radical.
>>5339035
>Hasbro fanboys actually believe that this $20 happy meal toy is better sculpted and painted better than the SHF
Literal retards everybody
>>5339195
I want /pol/ to leave.
>>5339035
>poorly sculpted and painted
Compared to what? Hasbro? BWAHAHAHA
>>5339015
But I don't want the shitty JJ Abram's Threepio, wtf.
>>5338856
Damn yeah, I hope I can actually find him in stores. Jango's lookin' good.
>>5339207
I thought they were /a/?
>>5339219
Compared to good figures.
>movie reviews confirm the movie is an underwhelming mess
>Finn is indeed a pointless character that is only there to shuttle around with Rey
Guess we'll be seeing more Finn pegwarming after all.
>>5339576
Big fuckin' surprise.
>>5339576
This and Kylo kills Han.
>>5339576
don't know what reviews you're reading, most i see are positive. you sound like one of those faggots who finds one bad review and instantly thing a film is terrible.
>>5339659
You sound like one of those faggot that think "it's better than the prequels" means high praise.
>>5339659
>new movie from a popular series gives positive reviews
Yeah because they totally don't just give those out to anyone.
>>5339860
Look at this newfag who can't tell when it's a samefag or not.
You're exactly the kind of idiot JJ Abrams needs.
>>5339860
Not that I would have known but whatever helps you sleep at night normaltrash.
Why must all of these Star Wars threads on /toy/ always get hijacked?
>>5339864
yeah! JJ abrams is ruining star wars! if newt gunray and jar jar binker aren't in the new sequels i won't go see them! those are the kind of characters that the sequels need! give control back to lucass!
Anyone got an nice poses for Boba? I want a menacing, calculating pose to really make him pop
>>5339933
Go to bed JJ.
>>5339961
If you're talking about Black Series, there's really only like 3 poses you can pull off, and they look somewhat stiff and unnatural. Nature of the figure.
>>5339916
>>5339015
a full year from now? okay, that gives me time to get my shit together and wonder if it's worth it.
>>5340042
>get my shit together
>$20 figure
wew
>>5339903
Because we are at war, anon.
>>5339933
Is this really what the modern SW fanbase is like?
>>5339961
This is the best I could do. The stock of the EE-3 feels like it's about to break apart
>>5339576
>movie reviews confirm the movie is an underwhelming mess
>even though the movie reviews say the opposite
buzzkill faggot inbound
>>5339310
Feels like the same difference at times, freaking elitist snobs need to go.
>>5340336
And apparently with people whose only argument for someone not liking something that happens to be popular is because they're trying to be unique and different. Grow up.
>>5340336
Actually I was asking if they were all shitposters like him, not shitposters like he was trying to imitate. So basically you've just said "yes."
>>5340339
I wish /toy/ would agree to disagree, but no. We gotta shit on each other for our taste in fucking action figures.
>>5340396
Not to be that guy but
>a board of grown men who play with toys
What can you expect?
In the next day or so this thread will become a dangerous place for ppl posting early spoilers.
Spotted three Black Series Phasmas at Walmart today. Picked one up. The articulation is pretty meh and the paint job is a bit iffy at some points, but she looks pretty good overall.
>>5340420
judging them by who goes to anime conventions and the way they talk, most of them arent men.
They're mostly boys and girls that also believe because they're using most of their allowance money on a single thing, that automatically makes it the bestest and desperately need to fit in
>>5340444
Sometimes I forget the age demographic of this site.
>>5340344
>not liking something
>finds one review and claims it's the absolute definition of the film
Don't lie, you didn't want to like the film, and you're nitpicking and being a dick to assert that it's bad. People calling you out for it isn't the problem, you're just a shithead.
>>5340469
>everyone who calls me out is the same person
Again, grow up. I haven't even seen the movie, I'm just calling you out for being a shithead.
>>5340469
Good fuck you're a deluded retard aren't ya? You're talking to multiple people and you think everyone's against you. Surprise: Your movie sucks. It's getting middling reviews at best already, and that's just what's been released so far fuckface.
>>5340420
Personally, I don't know anyone who collects toys irl that acts this bad.
>>5338868
Yes, but their absolutely ridiculous preorder system is flawed beyond belief. Preorders should be open on all websites for 24-48 hours. Not minutes.
>>5340741
I do, but they're children.
>>5340736
Critics are still under an embargo from releasing reviews you retarded fuck.
>>5340746
Personally I would recommend waiting for release when it comes to Tamashii figures.
>>5340736
> It's getting middling reviews at best already, and that's just what's been released so far fuckface.
Not him, but are you legitimately retarded? So far most of the only people who have seen it were those who were invited to, and whenever that's the case, they ALWAYS rate whatever shit is on the screen to be 10/10 film of the year, because they're the cock suckers.
I mean fuck, Phantom Menace got great, positive reviews the first couple of days before it premiered. Everyone with half a brain knows you have to wait a week before trusting the reviews. And where are you getting your "reviews", /tv/, where it's doubtful anyone there has even seen it?
And even still, if you're that dependent on critic's opinions, you have enough problems as it is.
>>5339916
Time to fork over for the model kit...
>>5340736
show me how you've come to this conclusion by citing it, then call me a retard.
Are the MAFEX figures any good? I was thinking about picking up a Stormtrooper and Darth Vader. I don't have any SW figures yet.
I'd get the Bandai plastic models if I could, but unfortunately they're not available for baka gaijins anymore.
>>5338230
no 6 inches no can do, you won't get a sell from me Senior
>>5341188
glib fascmile
>>5341188
and people wonder why Hasbro focused all their energy on SW, IE the guaranteed hit, while not bothering to make toys for Jem, IE the guaranteed bomb.
>>5341188
I guess killing Han Solo is all it takes to get high praise when you copy a movie, huh?
>>5336828
i live in the ghetto and none of the walmarts had any so i checked out the upscale rich white people one and they had 3.
>>5341274
You should be writing pretentious movie reviews
If any of you care about spoilers, leave this site now. I just got shit spoiled for me (I looked for it though) and I regret it. If you care at all about this series just leave, family.
>>5341535
Assumed this was going to happen one way or another but come on. Dick move.
>>5341495
Nah, I was never planning to see the movie anyway.
>>5341666
>using the buzzword "contrarian"
You should go outside, do something better with you life. You're a sad, sad little man
/tv/ seems to be havin' a laugh over how bad and predictable the movie is.
>>5341683
The biggest issue is that it retreads A New Hope, like entirely. Even the "good reviews" admit to that. That's more than a little bothersome to me, personally.
So how long is Han Dies going to be a meme?
And I don't see how it's an issue, hell even my father who doesn't give a shit about Star Wars figured out Han was the dude who was going to die.
>>5341669
>angry he was caught lying
>avoids the point entirely
>>5341669
wait, do you really think that if someone uses "contrarian," they aren't going outside or doing anything productive with their life? Wow, guess I shouldn't be surprised, but you really don't know how things work, do you? Maybe you should stop posting, champ.
>>5341690
>Said anon in a thread about Star Wars toys
What are you even doing here?
Guess only being in the movie for leas than a minute is why we aren't getting a Luke figure. Dumb ass movie.
>>5341727
You must be new to Star Wars toys, aren't you?
if I go to Walmart tonight do you think I'll find any good figures?
I just want a FO trooper or boba fett
>>5341854
If anything, go now before the movie drops. Once that happens you probably won't even see a Finn.
>>5341854
If your Wal-Mart has bothered to put shit on the shelves.
>>5341727
Awwww maaaaaaaan I thought he would do some fighting then die!!!!
so I don't usually come to /toy/ but I was wondering if you guys knew what would be the best luke figure to buy? I don't mend spending a bit more but more than 50 or 60 seems a bit much. Preferably his ROTJ costume. Something nice for the bookshelf y'know
I'm hoping they start unveiling bearded Luke stuff after the movie hits, I'd love a Lego mini-fig of an old ass Skywalker especially
>>5336546
Kylo ten kills Han solo his father there i saved u 20 bucks
>>5336546
>>5341980
>>5341727
This is JUST the type of rehash I was expecting, it's nothing but a glib facsimile.
If Star Wars was all I had access to as a child in terms of sci-fi I probably would become one of those crazy fanboys, but thankfully I had access to anime from very early on in my youth years that my mental balance is very stable.
Seriously, if you have watched Akira, you'd realize just how sophisticated anime is and it blows away anything Star Wars would have to offer.
A lot of people mention Ghost In The Shell, which has just enough of sexuality in the mix to draw in the western audience I suppose but I must say that Ghost In The Shell is not even in my top 10 anime, not even close, that's just how deep the world of anime is.
Some anime is so disturbingly mature like Fractale that I wish it would challenge the system and submit it as a Drama category in the Oscars just to bitchslap the snotty Academy.
It's not just the level of maturity and sophistication anime has, it's also quite original, entertaining, and visually fantastic. I would regard anime as the highest form of cinema art-form.
But hey, me preaching about anime won't do you any good, you gotta go out and see it for yourself just how much you are missing.
The recent one I would recommend to check out is Sword Art Online which is light and easy to get into anime for the first time yet appreciate it as much, but if you want the heavy stuff right off the line check out Guilty Crown in which the plot is so complex and twisted that you'll need extra oxygen pumped into your brain in order to comprehend everything, and if you want amazing visuals and a gripping drama that also has awesome mecha battles Aldnoah.Zero is the shit.
Seriously, if you know anime like I do, Star Wars looks like it's something for little kids.
>>5337049
Kylo and Phasma are the same height, so expect the figuarts to be.
The Black series oversized the shit out of Phasma.
>>5342222
>The Black series oversized the shit out of Phasma.
I don't see the problem
>>5342295
She's wearing 5 inch heels there you mong
>>5342299
so is Manlet Snow
>>5341991
>Sword Art Online
Bruh.
You actually had me going until this point.
>>5342295
>Tfw I'm 3 inches taller than her and she would be taller than me in heels
Being a guy who loves tall women is suffering.
>>5342416
Wait for the inevitable S.H.Figuarts instead
>>5342513
ok
>>5340336
I went into it expecting to love it, and I didn't. I don't hate it, but I don't think it was a good movie.
>>5340469
Not who you're replying to, but as I said, I thought I was going to love it... and I loved the humour... but oh my god, it got bad. Whomever says Kylo Ren was the greatest was on something when they went into the cinema, I am telling you now.
>>5341495
In all honestly, not one of these spoilers isn't something that wasn't called on 4chan 9 months ago.
>>5341666
For me, actually watching the movie.
>>5341685
Oh yeah. This is really obvious.
>>5342537
So what is Kylo like? Better/Worse than ep3 Anakin? Somewhat likable at all or just straight-up edge trash?
>>5342552
I didn't think it was very good. To me, it was like one of those reunion shows where they get the original cast back and try and hit the same jokes over and over, and just subtly miss every time. But fans are laughing and loving it because "They blew up the death star again with x-wings hitting an exhaust port, fucking hilarious!"
No, for me, I think this was one of the things that made me dislike the movie. The other main thing was Luke not being in it, and Han being someone who thought he was getting the character right but completely wasn't, and the director was too busy going, "I'm telling Harrison fucking Ford what to do, how cool is that? Bongo solo!"
>>5342557
He's a whining teenager. I kid you not. He's not deep, he's not subtle, he gets upset that his dad... something something. Hates his parents and everything light side but "it calls to him" and really he's just an entitled little shit. Supervillain he isn't. "I want to be just like granddad!" "You'll never be as evil as Darth Vader." Or whatever the line was.
>>5342562
So he was about what I was expecting.
How disappointing. His design is kind of cool.
I wish more dark side characters had a little more depth than just insane evil Saturday cartoon villain. I remember thinking while playing KOTOR recently that I didn't really understand why using the force with emotion was so bad. I feel like there's a gray area that's totally not being addressed.
>>5342584
Sith confirmed
>>5342596
I damn sure couldn't make it as a Jedi.
Oh yeah. If you liked any of the action figures, all of those aliens/junkers/etc are in it for like five seconds. Probably about what we expected.
Anyone else getting a red stormtrooper 6"? I got him coming but i got no interest in the sand trooper commander, tie pilot or the black2d2
>>5338946
Someone PLEASE turn this into a
I WOT M8?
>>5342755
Sorry, meant U WOT M8?
Phone isn't letting me delete.
i went to walmart, all they literally had was black series chewbacca and all the shit 3.75 inch figures. like the aliens and the resistance trooper. no FO troopers or anything.
>>5341991
Ningen you just went full weebtard.
Never go full weebtard.
>>5342222
dem micro hands
>>5339462
He has a red arm post battle of Endor. There's supposed to be a one shot coming out from marvel that explains how he got it. Comes out in Feb I think.
>>5340433
lucky. all we have is mace findu nuffin and those gay ass heromashers
>>5341854
I gave a FO Stormtrooper iv'e been trying to get rid of actually.
>>5342797
Make em bigger they'll look stupid.
>>5342840
Ah.
I assume that comic will be giving it the appeal I don't see at the moment.
>>5342842
Same here.
But then, the only thing I'm looking for at the moment is Jabba.
>>5341991
There is just no way this isn't some copypasta from /tv/
Got a notice. My SHF FO trooper is shipping. Any reviews on them yet?
>>5342840
"General Solo! It's me, C-3PO! You probably didn't recognise me because of my red arm!"
>>5342940
It is, saw the same post there the other day.
>>5337272
sorry if it's a dumb question, but where and when can I buy this?
>>5343238
amazon, ebay and other stores. Expected deliver is mid-late jan
>>5341991
this isn't serious right?
Just bought the first order black series stormtrooper. His hands are shit at holding both blasters. Is this true for all the figures?
>>5343406
No, mine holds his guns quite well. Try putting it in his hand then holding it tight and dipping it in some cold water. Should help hold it down for a tighter grip.
>>5343369
No you idiot, it's pasta.
Saw TFA , if you want to ask for spoiler free answers (legit) while avoiding the cancer of /tv/ go ahead.
I promise I wont spoil anything.
>>5343464
Do Rey and Finn have sex in a Tie Fighter?
>>5343464
Does Constable Zuvio and Asty show up?
Got payment request from amiami for shf kylo. Hope it's a decent figure.

Is JarJar Binks really the key to all this?
>>5343465
Some new TIE fighters are two seaters, but they are back to back, so it'd be difficult.
>>5343467
Yeah but they are not important. Pretty much like Max Reebo or Greedo. You know they have a name and a little backstory, but they're in for 20 seconds
>>5343476
No, or if he is it's not implied.
If they retcon Jar Jar into actually being evil to try to ammend the prequels, they will make him the apprentice of one certain guy I can't talk about.
Threadly reminder Micromachines are the best thing to come out of this TFA blunder
>>5343464
Do the other Knights of Ren do anything or have names? Or just stand menacingly in the rain in that shot from the trailer?
>>5343488
So Finn could replace straight white males and clog up shelves for little girls to buy his action figure of.
>>5343488
Because Harrison Ford is a hundred years old and doesn't want to be in another Star Wars movie.
>>5343501
Why not make an entirely new star wars film with out old actors and a fresh new take?
>>5343486
The scene you see in the trailers is the scene you see on the film, in a flashback.
Knights of Ren are never seen otherwise or do jackshit.
Kylo is said to be their master, though
>>5343488
Because Ford wanted off of the Disney nightmare and off the Star Wars nightmare since Empire Strikes Back.
In the film because Snoke influences Kylo and Kylo wants to complete his final test (that makes him apt for sith training)
>>5343488
why the fuck would killing Han be important

Can anyone recommend a good Darth Vader figurine for around 100 bucks? I've always wanted a pretty good figurine that's posable and has some accessories like removable helmet and shit, but all those are around 300 bucks.
Spoilers
Not that anyone gives a shit since this sites a clusterfuck.
I thought Phasma would be impossible to get after. Boy was I fucking wrong.
>>5342295
Also, Kit Harington is like, 5'8", so of course he's gonna look short next to Gwendoline Christie, Adam Driver is the same height as her, so Kylo and Phasma should be exactly the same height. I'm more pissed Phasma died offscreen and barely even appeared in the film.

inb4 character development held back for sequels
What the fuck is this
Did they release the figures before the movie because they knew people wouldn't want to buy them after the movie?
>>5343798
She's dead, there won't be any Phasma in the sequels. If she survived the trash compactor then the explosion surely killed her. Still a dick move on Finn and Han's part to basically toss her in the trash chute though, I completely agree with Han shooting Greedo first, but I don't think he'd kill someone in such a painful way.
>>5343464
Was it good or bad? Which of the prequels would you compare it to?
>>5343800
interacial breeding trooper
>>5343814
Phasm isn't Boba Fett and doesn't deserve to be in any sequels
>>5343835
Boba Fett did?
>>5343814
They really just kinda half-assed this movie huh?
These things: the hatch is very clearly attached to a rotating joint but as far as i've tried i can't seem to be able to open it, the QC seems a little off.
Anybody had any better luck?
The black series shock troopers are up at walmart website. Seems to be a limit of two. Been there over 2 hours so not sure how long they'll last.

How late it is to get a Kylo Ren Figuarts?
>>5343835
>>5343846
I actually quite liked Phasma from the little she was in the film. Still, if they were going to kill her they ought to have done it onscreen at least. Don't have Han and Finn hold her at gunpoint then throw her in a trash compactor. Boba on the other hand, sucked balls. Jango was a far cooler mando.
>>5343901
Not very. Some are bound to go back on sale now due to people cancelling orders, not paying or just putting it back on sale.
>>5343921
Having his own video game to be cool in was helpful.
>>5343901
He's up on HLJ right now, although he's at low stock, so I can't say how much longer he'll be up for. That reminds me, are there any cheapo toys of the riot Stormtroopers with the tonfas that I could salvage the weapons from? That one riot Stormtrooper in the movie was an unexpected highlight for me, but the only Black Series one is in a two-pack with Poe and the Figuarts one is a Tamashii Web exclusive.
>>5344280
Model kit comes with 5he riot shield and baton.
>>5343925
I really don't want one now, coming back from seeing the movie. He's the absolute worst, but of course I got a payment request a few minutes before getting into the theater.
Anyone knows how pissed hlj gets if you try to cancel after they ask you to pay?
>>5344306
Jesus Christ, tell me about it. Those fucking temper tantrums! Are we supposed to enjoy this shit? Fuck this movie.
>>5344306
See if you can scalp it.
Next time don't buy figures of characters whose media hasn't even released yet. There's a reason they started selling merch from this movie before it was out.
>>5344306
HLJ banned be because my grandmother died and i was busy dealing with family shit and forgot to pay for something. Fuck them forever.
Force Awakens was awesome. Don't feel the need to own a Finn figure though.
are the stormtrooper model kits any good?
>>5344333
What can I say, he looks cool. If I hadn't seen the movie I would still really dig it. That had just never happened to me, but you are right I really should've waited.
I still dig Phasma though, but thats probably because she had like 10 lines before they chuck ger into a trashcan, this movie just couldn't into bad guys.
>>5344364
Yes. Its fantastic. No paint required.
>>5344359
What, you don't want Chris Tucker wannabe? WHO CAP'N NOW HUH?? DAAAAAYUUUM!
>>5344306
I still like Ren, I'll probably get the figurarts.
Snoke Figure when?
>>5344333
I know I completely regret biting on getting some Phasma things. Well not really because she still looks good with my First Order troopers, but still, fucking hate her.
>>5343800
Why do resistance grunts need dirtbike helmets?
>>5344372
Well I understand where you're coming from because I have been considering getting him for the design alone. But then I'm one of those people who will like a figure regardless of the series it comes from, sometimes. There is no anime I hate more than Sword Art Online and yet I have two figmas from it.
>>5344395
You should take pictures of her getting raped by your other figures.
Now that I say that, I've realized I could use a couple more of those Terraformer figmas.
>>5344400
Nah, I think I'll just take several pictures of her in the trash, where she fucking belongs as even stated by movie canon.
>>5344405
Ba-zing.
Has anyone bought any of the Star Wars micro machines yet? I wanna know if the little figures are the same sort of plastic as the old stuff, or softer shittier stuff.
>>5344430
No, but I did hear about the garbage chute thing, which is why I thought it was a pretty good burn.
>>5344430
If they're on-par with the old ones I might delve into them some, I have a shit load of old Action Fleet stuff and wouldn't mind adding to that collection.
>>5344304
Oh, shit, I hadn't even thought to look into that. I completely forgot that the model kits existed after that whole kerfuffle with Revell/Disney/someone cockblocking them from selling them outside of Japan, but looking around, I can get one of the troopers for like $25.
>>5344335
Hahaha
