S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

[Gearhart21]

I think the line slows down quite dramatically when completists decide not to, and of course when an army builder is present inflates the demand for an accurate indication of how many people could buy the next release. This prolly inflates the next production unit to over supply. Once drop offs happen it's like the comic book #2 & #3 syndrome. How far would you go before you think demand picks back up?

A slower line would let people keep up and stay all in, but I think companies also want to maintain momentum and the more sales, the quicker they can push the next release. Kinda catch 22...

Sorry....lol I'm guilty of that lmao

I saw on BBTS the Riot trooper is in stock. Any pics?

 

[Gearhart21]

I really couldn't afford to be completist, that would mean getting a squad of OT Stormies to march behind Vader! A Fett is a must though whatever happens.

Vader looks damn cool surrounded by stormtroopers though.

Indeed he does, that pic does remind me of why I went for the Mafex Vader though, he should tower over Luke. There would be a lot of £ worth of Stormies there if they were all Figuarts.

Still fiddling with mine but I was rather disappointed with Mafex just something about it I hate. Hoping I can remember master my Vader to make him perfect.
All but one of those was Figuarts, luckily I got them before the rocketed up.

The Stormies were lucky scores then. I had to have Vader and Luke together and they just wouldn't have looked right if I'd gone with a Figuarts Vader, most reviews I'd seen of the Mafex said it wasn't perfect, but, it was the one to have in that scale. I wonder what the Mafex would look like with the Figuarts head on it. I've seen pics of the unmasked Figuarts head on the Mafex figure and it didn't look too bad, something I'll try for a pic or two when I have both Luke and Vader in hand.

I just can't get behind the MAFEX Vader. Something about the brow on the helmet, and overall build/sculpt doesn't work for me, but it's a piece that's got a lot of praise online, so I seem to be in the minority.

SHF Vader is a touch short, no doubt about that, but I get a little extra height extending his legs, and he looks fine with my stormtrooper squad.

Why yes, I'm a grown-ass man.

(Sometimes I have moments of clarity when we're discussing our hobby).

Looks awesome. Are you planning on mix-matching any pieces to make the perfect Vader? Interested to see what your Franken-Vader looks like.

Finally got my Mace Windu. What an amazing figure. Just perfect.

I freaked out at his likeness when I got the figure. My girlfriend was like "Geeez! Relax!". I literally turned back into a kid with this one. It doesn't help that Pulp Fiction is one of my fav films.

Yeah I'm going to be mixing the Bandai model kit with this to try and achieve my desired figure. I'll definitely post pictures once finished.
If I can't you the kit I'll just extend the legs myself like I did for my Dooku/Tarkin body.

Sadly I don't have room to display everything right now but I'm getting a few more today in the mail so I will be taking a collection shot of all my figuarts. I have a bit of a problem. Didn't think I would army build these.....I was sure wrong...

I Love this picture

That Dooku looks stellar and perfect next to all the others. This is the real Vader with Stormtroopers:



That's the height difference I want. The Mafex isn't the best Vader ever, and neither are the others in the crop, he's the best for my immediate needs. Will another in this scale come out that will answer every need, only if they decide to do a line from Rogue One. I think Vader may be done as far as OT is concerned.

Yeah I bought one as well to replace my figuarts but just something about it I didn't like. I still have it but will likely alter him too.

That picture is perfect! I'm going to use that as reference. Might be a bit of work but will totally be worth it at the end of the day.

The pic came from Dave Prowse's FB page so I'm pretty sure it's him in there. I've seen pics of the Figuarts old man Vader head on the Mafex, what about trying the helmeted Figuarts head on it too?

The Figuarts head won't work on Mafex it's designed differently. When people put the unhelmeted version on it still doesn't quite fit either it's very loose. But the helmet won't fit into the neck hole at all.

Give me an hour and I'll post a side by side picture for you.

Ah, pity,

I'm hoping that, by the time the month is over, I'll have both the Mafex Vader and Figuarts Luke so I can study them for myself. I'd still like to see a pic though.

Keep in mind that there's perspective and lens distortion in that photo. Vader is significantly taller all right, but only a few of the stormtroopers were that short.
