S.H.Figuarts Marvel MCU General Thread

Dr. Strange is up for preorder at NY. I am getting this one, as I am not sure that the non-exclusive US version will include 2 headsculpts like this one. The US version is supposed to come with a "exclusive accessory".

Wait if the US version won't have 2 headsculpts what is the exclusive accessory?

I'm sure the "exclusive accessory" is the second headsculpt. If not I honestly don't even mind, they look exactly the same other than the eyebrows, so it wouldn't be a huge loss.

This says 2 likenesses plus a bonus! I hope that's not a mistake.



Edit: Sorry for the tiny photos, I'm not sure why it's doing that right now. Here's Bluefin's FB https://www.facebook.com/Tamashii.USA/?fref=nf

Also!!

"In the U.S. only"? That's pretty interesting, it would be really cool if it was a hand with that whip-like construct.
Great to hear they're doing Guardians 2, I hoping for a Star Lord with Pratt head, and a nicely articulated Rocket would be nice to get.

Yes I would like the whip too. It'd be really cool too if they did the sanctorum window dio kind of like what they did for SHF Vader. Or maybe a portal effect!

With the Guardians, only thing I'm mildly disappointed with is we most likely will get a Groot jr. and not the full Groot. SHF Groot that's as tall as the Hulk would be awesome.

Yes ! I was right, i'm so happy for GotG ! i can't wait for a Sh figuarts ROCKET RACCOON ! Star Lord and Drax !!

 

[ryanc_]

so it sounds like the US version is superior and there is no reason to buy the Japanese version?

 

[ryanc_]

also very excited about GOTG2, but would have loved an adult Groot, hopefully at some point

 

[DrewYojimbo]

Rocket would be a 100% buy. We'll see how the other characters turn out.

I got a feeling he'll be grown by the end of the film as Hasbro has a bunch of merchandise featuring big Groot. Of course that could just be trying to cash in on that versions popularity, or reusing old moulds

In Spain is going to be released along with a flame set. Could be this the "exclusive accessorie"?

[ryanc_]

if they were to release 3 different Dr. Strange sets I'd be pretty annoyed

 

[Billion]

Isn't that just the Tamashii burning flame effect in yellow? It's not exactly the most exciting extra...

 

[paintpot]

It is...Maybe it's just a special bundle? Would look cool with the purple one I got for my custom kaecilius

I got my first Mafex figure today, the Mark 45. Its pretty dissapointing, and I definitely won't be getting another of these. The first thing you notice once you get him out of the package, is that he is extremely light, cheap and plasticky feeling. It just has a very low quality feel to it. The joints are all extremely loose and he cannot hold about any pose without a stand to support him. I bought him because I liked the sculpt and the unmasked head. But in person it is apparent that his arms are too short (whose hands don't reach their crotch?), and the unmasked head looks like he has a black eye. The paint is no where near as good as Figuarts. He's too tall to fit in with Figuarts, but would work well with Marvel Legends. The worst part is that this guy costs almost double what a Figuarts does, definitely not worth the money. I do like that the helmet looks like an actual adults head could fit inside, unlike Figuarts.

Maybe you should have read the instructions before reviewing lol. The figure's arms extend out and aren't at all too short.

His arms ARE extended and they are ridiculously short. Extended they are shorter than the Figuarts Mark 46 arms even though the figure is 1 inch taller. Perhaps you don't know much about human anatomy. Or maybe you have unusually small arms and can't figure out whats wrong with the figure because of this. But good try smart guy, you are an internet hero.

Hey, pretty sure he was just trying to help

 

[guyver1]

Seriously aside from Selection of character choices, I would stop collecting Legends figures and go straight to Figuarts for Marvel. The detail is amazing , but the price point is unappealing

Wow, look at you getting all riled up because you were wrong. No, your arms aren't extended out, so don't get mad at me. Also, no the arms aren't smaller than the figuarts one... you're lying there. Your picture doesn't have the arms extended out. You're supposed to press the elbow joint and they extend, I know what I'm talking about.... unlike you.

Also, telling me my arms are small? Dude, you're seriously a joke. You're a little snow flake who can't take criticism or take someone's advise on helping you and for that, you come off like a child. Here, watch this guy's video, don't take my word for it. In the future, read instructions.

I was just trying to help you.

On the left, the figures arms are extended, on the right is your figure.... not extended. You're welcome
