Making this thing stand up is pain.
>>5687700
Face has good details for Hasbro.
>>5687702
No stand? Good luck getting a pose out of it.
>>5687709
It's possible, just takes time
>>5687719
Fuck you, leatherhead.
>>5687716
I cut the skirt at the sides so I wouldn't pull on the legs, but still pretty annoying.
>>5687740
There was no reason to cut anything. All you have to do it slide it up
>>5687740
Keep posting those sideways pics with shitty lighting, newfag
>>5687774
Dude you are straight up pwning this new guy LMAO keep it up, proud of u
>>5687785
omg i kno right thanks homie one luv
>>5687810
one luv.. except that new guy fuck his sideways pic postin ass nigga do u even photoshop?
I can't wait to army build and customize these kits, same with the Battle Droids
>>5687845
These will definitely make up for the shitty BS ones and the mediocre Figuarts.
I've been out of the toy loop for a few months. Ever since the SHF ROTJ Luke was just about to be reissued. Now, I really want to get it.
Is there a chance of it being reissued again, or should I just bite the bullet and pay $70 for it on Amazon? Any other sites that have it for cheaper, maybe?
>>5687861
Mandarake had one up for a while, not sure if they still do.
>>5687845
Why my shoulders hurt?
>>5688033
jaAm
Jesus christ, would you look at that price.
this shit any good?
>>5688053
It's Play Arts Kai, so of course not
Where can I buy ashoka for a decent price I live in canada all walmart and tru in city are empty only one i can find is people selling for 60$ fuck that
What makes Mafex Vader the best Vader? I'm considering getting him.
>>5688959
They're all a little bit shit so it's just kind of a matter of deciding which one is the least shit to you.
Black Series is just straight up garbage
Figuarts is too short relative to any other 1:12 SW figures and has weird proportions and a fixed pose cape
MAFEX has different weird proportions, and something about the helmet makes him look like a weird baby head wearing and adult's helmet
The Bandai model kit is a model kit and has a lot of things that are a bit lacking because of it but probably has the best looking proportions and sculpt. It's the only one that particularly nails the helmet sculpt.
Revoltech is kind of fun but has a really weird cape and sort of just weird everything
>>5688959
Best proportions, best cape, best articulation, comes with a metric fuckton of hands, it's the only Vader that comes with the full helmet head, the unhelmeted but still masked head, and the fully unmasked head. It's also waaay cheaper than the other imports (it was $32 from AmiAmi when I got mine).
>>5689040
Just to clarify the fully helmeted head isn't a seperate head sculpt from the other two, the helmet itself is a seperate piece that can be removed leaving only the mask and back of his head.
Are there bootlegs of Mafex Vader? I was going to save $5 and get it on Amazon.
>>5688992
>MAFEX has different weird proportions, and something about the helmet makes him look like a weird baby head wearing and adult's helmet
It's the face, it's too small.
Also the chest section with the silver stripes is too long.
But overall I'd still say it's the best 1/12 scale Vader.
The model kit would win hands down... if it wasn't a model kit, but it is, so as a figure, Mafex wins.
Model kit has an atrocious looking cape.
>>5689132
Which is why you replace it
>>5689136
How do you like the Black Series Palatine there? How does he look with the blue lightning effects?
>>5687861
Honestly if you want it, just go for it. I just got him off amazon last week after lurking mandarake since HLJ fucked up their preorders for the reissue, and he's pretty good. There are a lot more limited joints than I was expecting, ie, his hips shoulders and ab crunch, but he's still far and away the best 6" luke. Unless you're cool with the ANH version coming out soon, he's your best bet.
>>5689136
What do you replace the Cape with
>>5689250
I agree 100%. FYI SHF Jedi Luke is on Mykombini for around $65 or something like that
>>5689173
As a former owner of that figure: If you want a 6" scale Palpatine, just get it. You're not likely to find another line making him anytime soon.
Pose him molesting Kylo.
>>5689257
Looks like the Black Series' cape.
>>5689737
>He's quite awful
Fuck you.
Why couldn't they have made ahsoka's head tails out of the same material they used for her lightsabers and knees? It's about what I expected, but still, feels weird man.
>>5689774
Because they're still thick af and softer plastic would really help that much.
I like star wars' ships but I don't want to pay a buttload for em so these are great.
>>5689801
How's the paint on these? I've been buying x-wing miniatures recently because they're insanely detailed for their size, but they're also expensive as hell.
>>5689835
The paint is as plain as can be.
It's basically micro machines quality but blown up 2 times.
the XWing miniatures are the best you can get.
If you want slightly better than Hot Wheels crap, you should look up the Wizards of the Coast starship battles sets. They can look very warped though, but the details and paint job are great.
Also, candy toys exist. Furuta made some really good ones.
>>5689916
I'll take a blind waifu pls
A SITH LORD!?
>>5691313
the fuck is that high quality ass mace dindu
is that a figuarts or something
I thought he'd be too small to fit with the Black Series, but he's actually taller than all of them.
>>5691324
No it's clearly a figma idiot
The articulation does not stand up to tje price point.
He holds the lightsaber too loose and the blade keeps popping out.
Can't beat that face though.
This SHF Mace Windu is rediculous. It's like owning a tiny Sam Jackson.
>>5691431
If you put the right hand near the lower part of the hilt where it's thicker it wont slide around, it's good for two handed poses.
>>5691426
He's hit all the poses I've tried to put him in so far, even one where he was holding the lightsaber to the right of his head.. sideways... with two hands...
He's good, but I don't think he'll be hitting those Vaapad poses too much.
>>5691426
They need to implement some rotation on the hanging sleeves. They look ridiculous just floating like that.
The real highlight is that face though. Its excellent. Just what I was hoping for.
>>5691491
Which poses are you trying and failing at? I want to see if I can get mine into them.
>>5691502
The head sculpts are phenomenal, simply phenomenal. The best of the SHF humanoids for sure.
>>5691508
A two handed downward strike. Not exactly like this, but this is a close a pic I can find. I can do it just fine with some of my Damashii Gundams.
>>5691530
>That's surprising to hear. Everyone raved about ep I kenobi's articulation
It's probably just my opinion. I didn't get Obi Wan, but he cost a lot less than Mace though.
>>5691538
forgot pic
>>5691530
It's the same articulation, the only minor difference Is Mace's robe is longer. The sides of the robe are soft pvc (same as the skirt) so it doesn't interfere all that much.
>>5691538
I'll work on it when I get home, I'll let you know if I succeed or not.
>>5691530
>That's one really nice thing about the lines, figuarts and black series are actually really damned close.
Then why did they shit the bed with their Dwarf Vader?
When are we gonna get a line of KOTOR figures?
>>5691594
Wasn't Vader literally the very first figure in the line?
>>5691746
Him and Stormtroopers, yes.
>>5691792
Coincidentally the two weakest figures in the line.
>>5691741
[ Carth wants to talk to you about something ]
>>5691590
>>5691508
The pose is something like this. Its not a big deal, I was just hoping for a little more dynamic combat.
>>5691825
Fucking Carth. Stop wanting to talk to me about something and then getting mad at me when I ask you what's up!
>>5692084
Stay mad, JJ.
>>5689835
Its not bad. Most of them are white. The paint is fine for me.
>>5692130
Forgot pick.
>>5691403
Mace Windu is supposed to be 6'4", while Jango is supposed to be 6 foot tall.
Most stormtroopers are supposed to be 6' as well.
So really Mace should be taller than most Star Wars figures.
Still waiting for Revan
>>5693093
Don't get your hopes up. I'm sure he'll be shit just like Ahsoka.
>>5689173
>>5689737
yea the black series Palpatine is a joke, but if you can find a way to get his hood to cover the top half of his face it should look decent, pic related my 1/6 hasbro sheev.
>where is your jedi-god now?
>>5691795
That's not so much a coincidence and more the signs of a new figure line trying to find its footing.
>>5691741
I would murder a small towns worth of chimps to get a HK-47 figma or black series.
Just got Mafex Vader. I'd love him if he wasn't so skinny and could turn his head.
>>5694241
Isn't there a pretty easy mod you can do to shave off some of the plastic and increase the range?
>>5694262
Yep. Just google "mafex vader neck mod". Works like a charm.
Hey guys I guess I'm in a bit of a jam here and would like some help... I suffer from crippling OCD and have an overwhelming need to keep everything in its right place.
Which brings us to the problem in question. Only after I setup my biker scout did I have the sudden realization that I had in fact opened the wrong side of the box, pic related it's the left side of the box from the front.
It then occurred to me that I had no idea what the proper directions for the plastic tray and instruction booklet to face were!
I discarded the plastic bag that holds the stand's base too! Do I just put it back in the box loose when I'm not using it?
Look, I just need some peace of mind here. If you're still reading this then please answer my questions... Please I just need some simple, clean, and clear answers here!
1. When facing front and inserting the plastic tray into the box in which direction should the biker scout's head be pointing left or right?
2. When facing front which side of the display stand base should be facing upwards, the top of the bottom?
3. When facing front in which direction should the instruction booklet be facing and which side should be up?
Look I tried to make these questions as detailed as possible to avoid any confusion. If anyone here could provide instructions or images showing the proper way to package the figuarts biker scout then that would be great! Please be understanding, I gotta keep everything in its proper place!
>>5694445
fuck off peon
Why is the black series sculpt so bad compared to Elite series
and why the fuck are vaders eyes brown
>>5694549
No, really. Fuck off peon.
>>5694555
ok so i guess brown eyes vader is a thing
thanks
>>5694445
>>5688039
I hate that the last of that line became online exclusive. Now they are getting mega scalped.
>>5691741
Well outside of Revan coming out in Black Series 6" I'd say next to never. Fucking Disney man.
>>5694677
Why do you keep posting this faggot from /fa/ and claim that it's Peon? Fuck off.
>>5694696
Thanks for letting me know it bothers you, peon.
>finally order black series jango to go with mace for headless diorama action
>mess around with him for 10 minutes, leave on my desk overnight
>move him from in front of my keyboard in the morning, notice BOTH wires on his left arm are already broken
What the fuck man. I checked and they're not even long enough to reach if you bend his arm all the way, which isn't even 90 degrees.
so essentially Ahsoka is going to be impossible to find
>>5702458
She's shit anyway. You aren't missing anything
I'm really surprised that nothing from Rogue One has leaked yet.
I really wanted to see a figure of that cunty, unpleasant bitch from the trailers.
>>5702461
Fuck off Peon
>>5702461
>a black series figure is shit
You don't say?
>>5687275
Is the black series the only revan figure thats going to be available?
>>5704646
No, there's going to be a figuarts, a figma, a RAH, a VAH, Hot Toys, Sideshow, 1000toys a 3A and some playmobil
Snagged both these bad boys yesterday and today. I paid 50 for the TIE Interceptor CIB used and 40 for the First Order TIE Fighter Toys R Us exclusive. I haven't bought a Star Wars toy in years.
>>5705052
Those are the 3.3/4" ones, right? I've had my eye on the interceptor for a while now but it's a little too expensive for me.
>>5705061
Yes, it's the 3.3/4" Tie Interceptor. I say it's well worth it, if you can find it for an affordable price.
Any of you guys army building troopers? I'm a poor fag and can't buy a shit ton. Also what are the best figures to army build
>>5708027
What scale? I use the Black Series.
>>5705166
>> I say it's well worth it, if you can find it for an affordable price.
So if you can't find it for an affordable price would you say it's not worth it?
A real man's saber collection.
The MR FFX anakin is going on 11 years old now and is showing its age, with some scratches and a small amount of pitting/rusting on the chrome. I want to get it converted to in-hilt LED's but I'm far too lazy to look into it.
>>5708242
I can't tell if you are being serious or not.. so, I'll answer this another way. Originally, the TIE Interceptor was for sale for 79.99, plus tax. I paid a little over 50 dollars for it, since it was on sale. It was CIB. I am very happy with it and do not regret my purchase.

I have no idea why people are scrambling over each other to get their hands on this piece of shit.
>>5709165

WHERE'S MY GODDAMN C3P0
Which Kylo Ren saber is the best balance of price and accuracy? The non-electronic Blade Builders, the electronic Blade Builders, the Rubies one, the ForceFX one, the Propshop replica...some other option?
I may just buy the $12 Blade Builders, paint it, and make a trip to Home Depot for a plastic tube.

How are the Bandai model kits? How much paint do they require? I was thinking of about getting R2-D2 and C3PO
>>5712129
They're all great, you don't have to paint them if you don't want as they come with stickers and decals, sometimes a little paint here and there is easier though
>>5712129
>>5712152
This. If you get a couple of cans of spray paint, you can even just spray onto a surface and roll some of the parts in it if you don't want to deal with brushing.
3PO is worth building, but he won't be sitting down or giving you dynamic poses.
>>5709643
I don't know who that is, I have almost all of the black series figs save for only a few (anakin, xwing luke) and have been collecting since the line first started, I just think its ridiculous hasbro cant get eyes straight
If any of you have Disneyland Annual passes or are going to Disneyland soon, the launchbay area has a shit ton of Kanans, Lukes, and Ahsokas warming the pegs for 27 bucks.
>>5712152
R2 needs paint. The decals are absolute garbage because they are meant to go on protruding surfaces and don't stay in place because their edges are larger than the area they're meant for.
Ended up getting silver paint for his dome (nude it's silver swirly plastic) and some jem stickers for his "eyes". I'd also recommend getting a lining pen to bring out all his detail. Either that or invest in a gray wash session.
>>5712521
Not sure how well all that might go. I haven't built or painted a model since I was 12 doing Gunpla.
>>5691541
look at the length of the handle on the that sword, the lightsabre is less than half that length.

"Am I Kawaii sempi?"
Went to a con today and picked up my first Ultrasaber. It's the green saber in pic related. It's the Arbiter, with a 36in heavy blade for fighting. My roommate got one too and we have been messing around with dueling and shit. It's pretty fun actually. He got a red Sith style saber. The blue saber is my Force FX Black Series ANH Luke Skywalker saber. While the blade is nice and bright on it it's not as bright as the US. I might get a Saberforge next, I've heard good things about them.
>>5714156
ultrasabers have the brightest LEDs, saberforge has some cool hilts but the brightness is different from ultrasabers
>>5687845
whats the catch? that looks like a hot toy, the detail is too good. Is it 6 inches tall?
>>5713524
then who was phone?
>>5714315
All the Bandai character models 6 inches so they mix well with Black Series. Only catch is you build it yourself (not hard), and it'll feel lighter in hand than a action figure. Otherwise the articulation and sculpts are beyond phenomenal, especially for the price.
>>5712554
>>5712521
all of them need paint.
They look a cheap Jazwares toy without it and the stickers looking cheap as fuck. Even waterslides can look bad, especially on weirdly sculpted figures like the Stormtrooper
>>5714333
Anyone with 5th grade paint/panel lining ability can make do without stickers on these kits for the most part. The Stormtrooper in particular is the easiest to build and looks great out of the box.
>>5714328
do they give you all the tools to build the figure or do you need to buy extra things not included? that clone trooper looks phoneonimal. I must see the model kit battle droid too.
>>5714156
Took a pic without the blade in.

I just started my Star Wars collection so it's very small at the moment. I have figuarts Kylo Ren, Darth Maul, and a FO Stormtrooper, with a Riot FO Trooper on the way. Any suggestions for other figuarts I should get? I don't want to go crazy with them but I'd really like to add one or two to my collection. Not sure if I want to start adding Jedi to my collection or just go full villain display.
>>5712489
I just got Ahsoka at the launch bay in Hollywood studios. Also had an extra 10% from annual pass holder discount
>>5687700
>>5687709
>>5687740
If you aren't going to learn a photoshop, then at least get Ifranview. It's quite easy to rotate, crop, and resize images.
>>5708027
You knoe in the heart of hearts which figure to army build.
>>5714156
That looks great!
Love the green on ultrasabers but at the same time wished they'd give more color variety without emerald driver.
What's a good version of pic-related?

This is the ONLY store in the area that has gotten this new wave. I'm so fucking pissed. If I could get her online, without having to spend double, I wouldn't be so frustrated, but this is ridiculous. The pegs've been clogged with Finn and Zuvio and TIE pilots and that fucking awful design TFA trooper for so long now. God damnit.

>>5719561
> Damn, Rey is a cute. CUTE!
She's down right adorable.
>>5719194
Be honest, you wouldn't care how clogged the pegs were if the Ahsoka was still there. You're just pissed that you found out it was, and somebody else who wanted it got to it first.
>>5719561
>Holy crap I bought Evangelion
>Luke, Ahsoka, and Rey
You absolute madman.
>>5720282
No, I'm pretty pissed that every store around here still has too many useless Finn figures and that Rebel Trooper. I can go to Walgreen's and it's the same story there, too. Those two need to be pulled from the shelves.
>>5687700
She's not very cute.

Kys dude there's been a stormtrooper drought since April
>>5709153
vintage 3.75 is cuter
rebels a shit
Model Kylo is amazing, the best version in my opinion, finds a nice in between for cloth vs plastic cloak by using rubber
I got a bunch of Star Wars figures in the other day! Among them was this Metal Collection (aka MetaColle) Boba Fett.
Been curious about this line and haven't seen a whole bunch of info about, so thought I'd do a quick review.
Fairly tiny as you can see with it next to a 3.75" and 6" Boba.
Package contents!
And out of the package! The arms, head, and the accessories (blaster, jetpack) are plastic. Everything else is diecast, which gives him a nice weighty feel despite his diminutive size.
Paint apps are sharp and clean.
There's articulation too! Swivel joints are located at the shoulders, waist, and the neck.
I like these MetaColle figures, very happy to add this guy to my Fett collection, but they're a bit pricey at $10-$12 a pop. Still, they're cool little figures and if you've got a favorite character they're worth checking out.
>>5728525
that looks worse than the shitty Kenner-quality figures Hasbro is making
How much did it cost?
The Black Series Jawas are sooo freakin nice.
Added some figures to Jabba's throne room!
Commander Thorn is alright, sloppy paint apps though. Still cool to have, but the least favorite of the figures I got.
Lastly got gifted a TFA Chewie. Yeah he's 5 POA, but it's a very nice sculpt. I like how fluffy he looks, haha. Goes great with Han!
>Learn about Shadow Squad

>!!FUCK!!
why did i have to come to this hobby so late
why did it have to start with the shock trooper goddamnit
>>5729320
Revan will be 21.99 if you stalk sites well enough
Let's be real here, he won't be harder to get than Ahsoka
>>5728553
Not him but they're about three inches tall, mostly made of solid metal and cost ¥800.
I picked up rebel pilot Luke out of curiosity and for the money it's a really nice figure. Sculpt's on-point and the paint apps are clean, excellent 'tin soldier'-style figure.
Will definitely buy a few more in the future.
>>5728561
God I miss when Hasbro didn't suck. Those were the good old days.
>>5729369
>>5729405
This is hasbro we are talking about the company who somehow let a movie that grosses $396,857,343 have NO PRODUCT on the shelves of the main characters. Still don't understand how they aren't all fired and how they justify this to themselves and their superiors.
>Hey there's a big Captain America coming out on May 6th, we should do a line of toys to piggyback on the success.

I need to get a better vader, the bandai kit isn't very good. Wouldn't mind getting a better storm trooper (or clone trooper) as stuff falls off the bandai kit sometimes which is annoying when out trying to get pictures.

I really wish there was a clone wars ahsoka figure i dont really like the older one.
>>5687845
shit when is this out. Looks nice, not many good clone troopers these days
>>5688959
>>5688992
the bandai kit is okay but the cape is horrible
>>5714333
the storm troopers need no paint unless you want them to look dirty (which almost none in the move are)
>>5728561
Which carbonite Han is that?
>>5729465
The new team is definitely full blown retarded. Either the company has put a really nasty budgeting cap on them, or they're just trying to show what shit they can pull and be under budget to look good.
Just managed to get a Vintage Collection Aayla for about 20 bucks shipped, what do I have to look forwards to with her?
>>5729465
There was a mobile game thing that probably made more money than Marvel Legends has in its entire span because kids don't buy toys.
>>5730187
They don't buy mobile shit either, their parents do. Unless the app has a tricky setup that ends up charging the parent's card some ridiculous charges, which happens a lot even today.
>>5729404
>mostly made of solid metal
oh, no wonder it looks like shit.
>>5730043
It's from the Disney Store set of non-poseable figures they released in 2014, I think. They released one set for each OT movie (the ESB set was the best by far, in my opinion), and they have a TFA set out now along with a set that includes some figures from the OT sets (though carbonite Han isn't included with that set).
The 3.75" Black Series carbonite Han is nice too though, and that's pretty readily available. I have it and I like it, but you can't stand it up because its edges are slightly angled.
>>5730101
A great figure with some very nice curves! Picked one up on a whim when she was on sale at HTS and I was really blown away by what a good figure she was in-hand.
>>5715135
Mafex Vader maybe.
Anybody know what these are?
>>5730873
>>5730873
They look like McStatues with barely any paint.
Could be those lame vinyl toys that moms buy for their 3 year olds to chew on.
>>5729945
Bandai Vader is perfect except for the cape, which you can replace with a bit of cloth (or the BS version).
>>5730598
Truly, that line was the pinnacle of Star Wars figures that we'll never see the quality of again.
>>5730873
They look like toys.
Recently built Bandai's Millenium Falcon, first model ever built, really enjoyed it. Trying to decide between the Resistance X-Wing or the Y-Wing to build next
>>5730598
>figuarts when?
>>5732033
That's some nice paintwork for your first kit. How much time did you put into it?
>>5732132
I think I took around a week, maybe a little more. Took my time since it was my first time doing everything
What's the best Grievous figure in terms of sculpt and articulation? Preferably 1:12, but I'm willing to settle for something smaller.
>>5732161
>What's the best Grievous figure in terms of sculpt and articulation? Preferably 1:12
There isn't one.
Some might tell you the Elite Series die cast but it's total garbage.
Others might say the Lego one, but it's not 1:12 and it's lego, so it looks nowhere near movie accurate.
tl;dr
Wait for the black series or figuarts.
>>5732202
Got it, wish there was a Revoltech.
>>5730873
They are 6 inch 5poa figures from Bandai. They just released in Japan and they cost around $13 each. Those four in the pic are the only figures released so far.
>>5732226
The Revos were fucking great, really wish they would've continued making them. Grievous's aesthetics would've matched perfectly with Revo's too
>>5730966
>which you can replace with a bit of cloth
I was going to replace the cape, i just out some fabric from an old black shirt, but having to hem it to look decent and the fact that the fabric just didn't look good dissuaded me.
>>5732252
I wouldn't advice doing custom cloth, save yourself the trouble and pick up a BS Vader for it. Makes the best 6 inch Vader imo.
>>5732267
yeah i guess it's only $20, maybe ill get one from amazon.
>>5732267
Except for the clunky looking block hands and the fact that you have to paint it yourself to make it look good.
Mafex is the best 1:12 Vader figure.
Bandai model kit is the best... model kit?
>>5732280
I mean, yeah, work is involved, I never denied that. Mafex is a great option for those without the time or patience to bother with painting and working on the model.
I still believe the model is superior to the Mafex once the worked on. It just looked too skinny, and Mafex figures have been prone to getting loose joints over time.
>>5732280
you just have to paint his chest box really but yeah.
>>5732292
>>5732316
Collecting toys is not synonymous with model kit building.
If you're someone with no model building or painting experience, that adds a lot of extra of time/effort/money on what should be a simple purchase.
The Revoltech is ugly, Figuarts is too short, Black Series is a sad walrus.
Mafex is the lesser of all evils.
Steering people towards the model kit isn't helpful, especially when you're telling them to buy the black series anyways just for the cloth cape.
>>5720248
This is the greatest picture I have ever seen
>>5729465
Hasbro should be fucking ashamed right now. The entire line is shelf warming aside from a couple figures that are being scalped to hell and back. What's their solution? Release a 5 pack for 25 dollars to get Rey. They are fucking retards, the solution is as simple as loading Rey 6 per case when Force Awakens launched. How fucking stupid do you have to be to not realize she is going to be the most popular character?
The Target near me stocked up on 4th Friday and all the Reys and Phasma were scalped at midnight. I predict the entire line to disappear or shelf warm with no updates due to awful sales until the next Star Wars movie releases and they can fuck it up again.
>>5732351
That anon already had the model kit and built it, that's why I suggested getting the BS for the cloth.
However, if someone asks about the best 6 inch Vader available, I always say Mafex, but I still mention the model kit. I was recommended these myself, and I had a lot of fun with the experience, which then led me into model building entirely as a new hobby. So I don't advocate getting it over the Mafex, I simply mention that imo it comes out as a more satisfying piece than the Mafex if someone is interested and willing to indulge in it.
>>5732394
> 5 POA nonsense
> Literally taking figures back to the style of 35 years ago
It's kind of bull shit.
And collectors are on to this because if they follow the previous patterns every character will get a gimmick figure next then another figure with good articulation and sculpt, so why bother with the shit now.
>>5732497
Yea that makes no sense. I compare it to Marvel Universe going up in price from 8.99 to 14.99 in a fucking year and they are the same quality figures with even shittier packaging. The gravy train is running on empty.
>>5733012
I saw the price increase after the quality decreased, it was awful.
what r2d2 and c3po should i get?
>>5734038
Mafex should be coming out soon, comes with some good accessories. Wait for reviews though, quality might get fucked cause Mafex.
>>5734046
alright, i was going to get the bandai kits, at least for r2.
Posting my Figuarts collection.
is there a difference between the R2 from the R2-D2 & R5-D4 bandai kit and the BB-8 & R2-D2 kit? From the pictures the BB-8 version looks a bit lighter but that could just be the picture.
>>5735023
Left is the BB8 one, lighter dome seems to be the only difference.
>>5735027
the R5 one looks much better, thanks. Same accessories though?
>>5735054
Yes
>>5734434
So glad I didn't buy manlet Vader or the horse faced stormtroopers.
>>5735027
it's worth noting that the BB8 kit's gray plastic is also a slightly softer peat, making it easier to cut (and fuck up).
>>5689801
These are pretty neat.
>>5735096
Vader is actually a pretty good figure as long as you never bring him around any other Star Wars figures ever.
>>5735303
I don't know. His arms are too long, and his helmet is misshapen and tiny.
Resistance Rey is up on Amazon for anyone that has never seen her at retail.
>>5737289
for $15.
>>5732267
how did you attach the cape?
>>5737818
or really just the skirt
>>5689737
why the emperors wrath one and not the normal black series?
So is the Black Series Kanan any good? The face looks a little off to me but I haven't seen it in person so I want a second opinion.
>>5737797
Slice a hole in it, quite simple
>>5737818
Remove head, snip two small strings holding it to shoulders. To remove skirt, peel off shoulder armor from back, cut off belt, and careful not to tear the fabric when removing it from the body.
How you put it on him is really up to you, there's no one way to do it.
>>5737964
It was just more readily available at the time I did it, while the regular release was going for like 60
So all Star Wars is on Clearance at my Walmarts. Not by a huge margin (Black Series 6" is $15 a figure now). I want to be happy, but there's just no moving Finn and the black rebel trooper.
Ever.
>>5739650
He's nice. I only got him to go with ahsoka, but he ended up being the better toy by far. He's got pretty solid joints with good range (except those goddamned elbows), nice paint and sculpt, and good, if rubbery accessories. He feels a lot like old han, if that means anything to you. He's also surprisingly tall.
Hey all you gay faggots, I found an old box of star wars toys I had as a kid, reckon they're worth like a couple of bucks?
They're all unboxed obviously because I was a little shit who had no idea they would age like wine
>>5740133
I got this weird robot one still in the box, I think he was one of those bounty hunters vader sent out to cuck Han, fuck knows why I bought it
Star Wars figure newfag here. What's the best Yoda in terms of sculpt and articulation that would fit 1:12 scale?
I was looking into the black series one, but I don't like the hair and sideburns. I also hear the articulation is shit with no wrist swivels.
I was considering grabbing one from the vintage collection.
>>5740148
Black Series is literally your only option. Vintage Collection is way too small.
>>5740133
I will pay you to take my potf figures away
>>5740141
how bout some if this shit? They all got different years on them, of that means anything
>>5740158
Shit, I was afraid of that. Thanks, anon. Maybe I'll try my hand at repainting the head or something.
