Mandarake has a bunch of Star Wars Figuarts in stock right now:
https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/listPage/serchKeyWord?categoryCode=00&keyword=Figuarts%20star%20wars

They have Battle Droids for 31 bucks too.

Also Phasma Is in stock on HLJ.

>>5561111
That Maul for 3500 looks tempting, but it's 'used', with no photos of the figure outside of the box. And it says 'minor damage', is that referring to the figure or the packaging?

Typically around 1000 yen in my experience.

From my orders this year:
Figuarts camera man + lamp man, R-SAL was 1,080 yen
Figma Ninja Slayer, R-SAL was 980 yen
Figma Black Lotus, R-SAL was 1080 yen
Mezco Hellboy (pic related), R-SAL was 1,280 yen
>>
>>5561119
Pretry sure thats just a warning saying that used items are prone to scrapes and defects etc. Mandarake sells used stuff.

I'll know when I get shipping confirmation

That's just the box her extra faceplate came in when you ordered the Rin/Hanayo double pack from the Web Shop. It's not meant to be sold with anything else or by itself. It's like when you buy a 12 pack of soda and the cans say "not for resale"

>>5563752
Just going by what's been shown so far, it seems to be mostly the old mold with some cosmetic changes to match the Civil War costume. The only wholly new things are the head sculpts.
>>
>>5563774
The entire costume sculpt is different if you compare them closely, but the engineering is identical. They seem to have just reskinned and refined the previous design, and tossed in a couple of new heads with the digital printing tech.
>>
Grievous preorder when?
I need that sweet-ass figure of my villain-fu in my life.
>>
>>5563911
I'm really nervous about how they may handle his joints.
>>
>>5563912
It could turn out shitty articulation-wise, but I'd still drop 80 bucks on it in a heartbeat.
Grievous is my favorite Star Wars character.
>>
>>5563918
same here m8.
>>
>>5563922
My biggest fear is that preorders will sell out before I get a chance to drop some dosh.
Mostly because I'd honestly probably end up buying it at a ridiculous markup because of how badly I want it.
>>
>>5563912
>Grievous PO finally goes up
>diecast joints everywhere
>>
>>5563918
I've been waiting so long for this too. As soon as they announced the 1/12 Black Series my first hope was for a Grievous. I can't believe he's actually within sight, but this wait is hard.
>>
Anyone have the SHF Dragon Kid from Tiger and Bunny? I just want to know if it has the same heavy, loose legs as Wild Tiger and Bunny.
>>
>>5564079
She shouldn't, given that the reason why Bunny/Tiger's legs were heavy was due to the die-cast and how long they were.

Also, just apply some floor polish onto the hip joints of the Figuarts so fix that looseness.

When the hell are they hoping back on Sentai. Will I ever see a Magi Red in my lifetime?
>>
>>5563408
Man, I remember back when I was hoping they would get on the Civil War train hard because all of the fully masked characters slated to be in it.

Just need War Machine, Spider-man, and Baron Zemo once he comes into the spotlight. Crossbones would also be nice, but I have doubts that he will be done by Bandai.
>>
>>5564684
any villians they make will exclusive, just like ultron
>>
What's the best way to glue in whatever type of plastic figuarts use, superglue or plastic cement? I remember someone saying they glued in all the knee and elbowpads on theirs and I want to do the same, it's only a matter of time before one of these little shits pops off and gets lost forever.
>>
>>5564853
I just use super glue.
>>
>>5564684
Ah, I need a War Machine too, but I fear it'll be an exclusive like the last one was. I think the last one was anyway. I really do hope the make Spider Man since I would really like a Bandai Spidey in my collection
>>
>>5564577
They probably won't test that market for several more years, and you'll only get the Red of whatever the latest series is. It'll sell poorly, and we'll go back to never having Sentai.
>>
>>5565121
I want a set of mega force rangers but I know that won't happen.
>>
>>5565121
I wonder, why won't Bandai just release Sentai Figuarts as all exclusives? Better for them to be exclusive than never getting them.

Surely they can easily make a profit by exclusivity + retool and team building potential.
>>
>>5564552

desu senpai I'd be ok with this

Sadly this is true. I would kill for a kingranger/ zeo gold.

LOL! Even the shipping itself costs more than that.
>>
>>5565429
Is there anything fundamentally bad about this thing? From the pics at that price it looks like a bargain diorama piece to display some figures on.
>>
>>5565435
1. Terribly out of scale with the SHF Saint figures (that is suppose to be compliment/display with).

2. Heavy; very difficult/awkward to combine with other stuffs, so usually it ships by itself.
>>
>>5565435
Nothing wrong with it! I love it. Used it to display my Sailor Moon figuarts.
>>
>>5565435
Hell, a decent looking diorama base for 20 bucks shipped? I'm down. I'll put figma link on it or something. Or use it as generic ruins for army figures.

Anon1: WTF?! CANCEL!

Gag has been going on for years now.
>>
>>5565313
The market simply isn't there. Practically all previous Ranger releases toasted shelves or were so low in orders that the aftermarket stayed high due to scarcity. At this point the best thing you can hope for is a rerelease of the Zyurangers since they sold very well worldwide.
>>
>>5565516
Meh, I'm still getting it. It's 6 bucks plus shipping for fucks sake. Worst comes to worst I'll put 1/18 figs on it.
>>
>>5565522
All but Red and Green Rangers (I don't know the Sentai names, sue me) were web exclusives. They won't get re-released.
>>
>>5565470
Those are not 1/12 scale figures, at 7 inches they are more like 1/10. That being said, the scale is not good for 1/12 either, which has always stopped me from buying this in the past.

What's wrong with the figure?
>>
>>5565740
Mainly lack of interest.

Same thing with the new Kinnikuman Figuarts that was just released mid-Feb. Both releases should have been exclusives.
>>
>>5565750

So nothing wrong with the figure itself? Because $15 is tempting

Should I get myself a Blackhole Stormtrooper before the prices get too silly?
>>
>>5565946
First of all that's an S.H.Figuarts Shadow Trooper. Second of all I don't know what you consider a silly price but they started at 7500 JPY. If you're an S.H.Figuarts Star Wars kind of guy then you should definitely grab two of them for your collection. Unlike the super glossy Stormtrooper it's got a nice matte finish that really looks great, but otherwise it's the same exact figure in new fancy con-exclusive packaging.
>>
>>5565818
LOL! Instead of stating the price as 12,960 yen, they tried to deceptively low-balled it as 1万2960 yen, made it as though it's like 2960 yen to soften it up.
>>
>>5565967
What are we supposed to do about rising figure prices? I feel like I'm being gentrified out of the hobby.
>>
>>5565967
That's extremely common. Stop projecting.
>>
>>5565967
I'm feeling nice, so rather than calling you an idiot, I'll just say that it's obvious that you don't understand kanji.

No, wait: you forgot that japanese people DO understand kanji, and that it wouldn't come across as "low-balled" at all to a native speaker that read that, so I take it all back and will assert that you are indeed an idiot.
>>
>>5565976
that non do have a point though, why don't they straight write it up as 12960 instead?
>>
>>5565981
Maybe its a way to lure in unsuspecting new comers to the Figuarts and collecting hobby?
>>
>>5565981
He doesn't have a point. At all. It's a statement made from complete ignorance. It's like saying $1,000 is intentionally deceptively written because someone that is completely retarded could confuse it for $1.000

So does panda Genma.

Current aftermarket prices of the SHF Shadow Trooper are already crazy, starting from 7,500 yen.

You have to be 18 to post on this site, Paul.

I ended up dropping 6k each on OT Stormtroopers due to getting into the SHF Star Wars line late. 7500 isn't much worse, I guess.

Yeah, but Akane has actual articulation.

If Genma eventually happens, I don't expect him to be anything other than an exclusive.

I think I may have been sold a used figure as new. Is it normal for one side of a Figuarts box to be double-taped? I bought two of these figures and the one in the double-taped box has noticeably poorer paint apps. I suspect that Solaris Japan may have scammed me.

What figure is doubled taped? Mine and some users from MFC's 1st Edition S.H. Figuarts Sailor Moon was resealed, some concluded that Bandai forgot to put the instruction slips which is why it's opened to put in the instruction sheet.

It's the S.H.Figuarts Clone Trooper. I just checked the ones I pre-ordered from AmiAmi and they were double-taped as well. That doesn't change the fact that the figure is covered with dents though. I don't think it was re-sealed by Solaris Japan anymore at least.

Yeah. There's also no elegant mode which I find strange. I don't think they expect GoPri to sell well.
>>
>>5569022
This is, this is sad. Luckily I'm loving Mahousaki more than any series before it and I just hope it gets figures. Is there any way I can get cure flora though? I thought GoPri was reasonably successful?
>>
>>5569022
>There's also no elegant mode which I find strange.
Elegant Mode had a separate card at Tamashii Nations, it's a separate release though honestly I wouldn't get your hopes up for it unless this version turns out to be insanely popular for some reason.

>I don't think they expect GoPri to sell well.
They obviously do if they're skipping over Muse and the entire HappinessCharge team just to get to GoPri sooner. But Happy and Heart were the last two standard releases and they both shelfwarmed hard. The really shitty quality of past releases hurt the line's reputation immensely. We haven't had a standard release in over two years so I was hoping Flora would buck the trend, but it looks like Precure's stuck in exclusive hell for good.
>>
>>5569038
You'll need a middleman site once they get a listing up, generally I use nippon yasan for exclusives. Or you can always wait for the aftermarket.

GoPri was successful enough, Bandai isn't losing money or anything.

>>5569043
If I remember right they weren't displayed side by side, just on different days? I thought the idea was that it was detachable since they used the same base. Regardless, there's no way they're making elegant standard so if they use it we're talking 2 base Flora forms as exclusive releases.

Happiness Charge I get, they like to go back and forth between years and it really lowered the bar. Muse I won't find weird until summer, since Beat is only out next month.

My big disappointment is that this confirms no hope for Splash Star.
>>
>>5568286
But in regards to the face sculpt if the helmet less head from the upcoming Civil War figure was on a civilian clothed body, most people wouldn't think of Captain America.
>>
>>5568286
I'm pretty sure he's talking about the figuarts, hence no one being able to recognize their faces without the costume. need better sculptors.

That's an odd choice, but I suppose theyre coming with Mermaid and Twinkle for completionists sake.

Seems like the price has increased since the last few releases too, not very surprised but it still stings on top of being exclusive.

>>5569053
They had seperate cards and we're up at the same time, and I would imagine they're only splitting them up to keep costs down. The gown is huge and would likely raise the price by a good 3k if it was all one package.

Well, if its not in a liquid state, then its designation changes. Frozen water in a solid state is ice, and water in a gaseous state is steam.

However, you can still get wet from ice or snow, and water in a gaseous state, like mist.

I think Freddie looks fine. Pretty much went through the same technique Bruce even with approach to the body (ex relying on the color of thenpladtic more than paint).

I think he is just underwhelming to some because he is just a musician. Yes, while musicians can be quite the live entertainers and showboaters, they still can't seem to stir the same excitement as stars from action/cape/toku media as action figures.

For me that makes Freddie a plus, though. On top of being Freddie, he can pull of being a normal looking person in SHF scale (hard to come by) because he is not some bombastic live action star. Adds more variety in the types of photos you can take with your super heroes.

Makes me hope Bandai touches Back to the Future and does Marty McFly. He has a normal look but one that has such a caricature-esque flare you can find in tokusatsu wardrobe that he almost belongs next to tokusatsu heroes.
