S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

[Big Deano]

I admit im kinda interested to see if they are showing any new sets past the battle droids

 

[Smudger9]

Ooohh do you have a link? A lot of these cons seem hard to google for some reason.

No new figures, just some vehicles

Ok, so a viewer on my vid just pointed out that the "smile face" actually DOES come from somewhere, its from the ceremony at the end...

 

[Smudger9]

Yup. There it is. Bizarre choice, especially as he's wearing a different bloody outfit!

 

[Big Deano]

Agreed, they could have given us the screaming face from when Obi-Wan was killed, would have worked so much better.

I hope Han has a screaming face for when he runs into these guys.

I seem to remember a lot of pre release media photos from the original ANH back in the day were Hamill was farm boy Luke smiling

I think Figuarts were going for this idea more

 

[Rogerbee]

Havent compared it to Qui Gons or Mace Windus, but Obis and Jedi Lukes lightsabers are the exact same length as farm boy Lukes

I'm sure Mace's is longer than some. I'll have a proper look later.

Where's my damn Count Dooku?

 

[Smudger9]

2 new figures announced. Not exactly what I wanted but cool none the less. Now I REALLY wish I could paint. I soooo need a 501st, shock and Utapau trooper!

Love the weathering on the battle droid. However, the clone head looks a little squashed.

Pretty short PO to delivery window meaning they fill in the October gap.

Sept: Jango
Oct: Clone & Battle Droid
Nov: Obi Wan

I think I'm one of the few who greatly prefer the Ep2 Clone design over the Ep3 version, so that's an easy pass for me. I also held off on getting the infantry battle droids in the hope of getting the security (red highlighted) ones, so I'll be skipping the Geonosis droid too...

 

[koonfasa]

Man, wished the clones had both sculpts, like some of there other figures or even Sideshow. Hmmm, did Sideshow ever do an only Ep3 clone?


Wait, when were they coloured? I've forgotten what's what...

The droids? Most obvious in TPM, but there was a yellow commander in AOTC (on a red body like the rest of the Geonosis droids) - Mace destroys it as I recall. I'm sure there were some security droids at the start of ROTS too.

 

[koonfasa]

I meant the clones, but thanks that was informative too.

 

[JonEl]

I'm down for both.

And pilot droids (and possibly others) were in General Grevious' ship at the start of RotS as well

 

[Big Deano]

By ep3 pretty much all clones were colored by who their commander was, so for example Anakins 501st had blue markings, obi-wans had orange, and palpatines shock troopers had red.

Speaking of that clone figure, the headsculpt is off.

Between the battle droid and 2 clone figures, there are 12 more repaint options! I really hope we get some multipack exclusives.

 

[Smudger9]

Looks like Vader is being re-issued. Just in time for R1???

I really hope they do the same for the stormtrooper.

 

[TheSensationalSean]

I wonder if Vader will be retooled? I have him, Jedi Luke and two Stormies - he's the only one I'm not 100% satisfied with!

Nah, he wont be. Retooling to tamashii means an entirely new figure, they dont do things by halfs.
