S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

Tamashii should make Boba already so we can get on to other bounty hunters, like Bossk. I want Bossk.

Yes, SHF Bounty Hunters need to be done asap. Throw in Cad Bane, as well.

Dang you guys have been missing out. I am in season 4; but I wouldn't recommend skipping around with episodes much. Generally any with Jar Jar are skip worthy but Padmes stories really shape the political climate during the wars.

You're completely right. I think I avoided some of her stories in the beginning because the first few were tied with Jar Jar, but Padme's tales do flesh out the social and political climate. It's easy to forget that the Separatists are just as disillusioned as the Republic, both sides being played by the Sith. When the Separatist ambassador's son asked Ahsoka, "Have you ever met a separatist who wasn't a droid or a military officer?" and she answers no. I was like, ****, neither have I.

Yes, Cad Bane would be great. And definitely would love a Ventress too. She's become one of my favorite characters. The Nightsisters are creepy as ****. I wonder if we'll get Clone Wars exclusive figures? I'd be down for a 501st set: Captain Rex, Fives, Heavy, and Echo. The Siege of Umbara (General Krell saga) was incredible. Oh jeez, I need to stop watching the Clone Wars...

Yeah, the series has really opened my mind to accepting both sides as flawed. The Jedi are far to idealistic in their mindset; they have good intentions with protecting the innocent but peace in a galaxy as diverse as it is is NOT possible.

I do think that after reading the EU Darth Bane Saga that both sides are equally malicious. Order 66 just set in motion the retaliation that the Sith had felt just in doing after the Jedi almost exterminated any followers of the Dark Side.

I hope they stick with the movies with their SW line.

Cad Bane is cool and all, but 3D animated. I don't think the 3D characters fit this style.

Figuarts does it again!




So happy that the blade does illuminate in the light

I don't necessarily want the characters to look like they did in the show, just the characters in figure form, like sideshow did with their 1/6 scale clone wars figures:

Hoodless Ren looks great.

There are a ton of figures I'd like to see in this line - especially Rex, RotS Anakin, bounty hunters, etc.

Picked up Revoltech Fett. He looks great on display but I'm not crazy about the joints. The one I got doesn't hold a lot of poses.

Also got my replacement Mafex Vader. Haven't had a chance to open him yet but hopefully no helmet paint issues this time.

He's hard to get good lighting because of the subtle drab colors but he's still a gem

^Same to you, man!

Awesome pictures! I ordered Kylo-Ren with EMS, but I haven't received it yet. Hopefully, it comes tomorrow. Oh, well!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

 

[Kennywr22]

Missed my packages yesterday so I gotta go pick them up tomorrow. Can't wait to set up my troopers around Kylo!

 

[blood]

Although mine aren't sw related

Hello mate, come across these figuarts Star Wars figures too late it seems. Can I ask what the UK seller website is you use so I can get future releases???
Thanks

Clone Wars spoiler:

Spoiler

I can't believe they killed Fives... Man, that one really hit me. I always knew this series wasn't going to end on a positive note but everything is being torn apart at the seams...First Heavy, then Echo, now Fives... the clone wars is a ****ing tragedy, man. I can feel the dark cloud of death hanging over Rex's head.

You might get lucky and find some at Amazon or Lair of the Octopus but it's unlikely. Ebay UK is the other option but be prepared to pay more.
The best way to get them on release is via the Japanese sites like HLJ.com or amiami.com

Glad you're liking the series Fat! You will like Rebels I think, or at least season 2. S1 was a slow start for me.

I heard the tone was more juvenile, so I'm slightly concerned about that. I'm really digging the grittiness of the clone wars; it's grown up so much since season 1. I've plowed through 6 seasons in about a week. My complaints are minimal, but the show overall is too long and takes too much time getting to the real dynamic stuff. Three seasons minus the filler would have been nice. Right now I'm suffering through a Jar Jar/Mace Windu episode, easily my least two favorite characters.

Thanks, how about customs though? I notice most ship from Japan on eBay and Amazon. Don't fancy getting extra charges on figures that are already priced over the top

Has anyone used animuk.co.uk before?

Hi Rtec1, I'm also in the UK and agree that the best way to go is by buying from the Japan based sites such as amiami and cdjapan. Yes, you'll likely get charged customs, but anywhere you buy from the UK will already have those fees taken into account in their selling price. The killer is Royal Mail's £8 handling charge, which is the same wether you are buying 1 figure or 10. I tend to order 2 or three figures at a time (and sell the spares to a friend or on eBay if he doesn't want them) to help justify the handling charge

The customs charges will be approximately 20% (VAT) of your order cost + £8 (the handling charge). Figures end of costing me around £40-£45 each. Not ideal for army building, but for what you get these are absolutely not priced "over the top" - the cost is completely justified. These are streets ahead of the Black Series - I'll never be buying Hasbro again!
