S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

Interesting stuff there, looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I'm thinking that the Mafex ROTS Vader may be a useful starting point for other Vaders, unless SHF knock a Rogue One version out of the park that is...

So what is that new one a combination of? He does look a little bug eyed. It needs the Mafex cloak.

I mean....compared to the little eyes on the Mafex anything looks bug eyed. Haha it's combination of BS EW and Bandai kit.

Interesting, I wouldn't have used anything from that, and would have waited to see what else came out.

Experimenting is half the fun, modifications is what makes me love this scale. It's slowly but surely coming along. I think once painted you will be able to see the details better and look less bland.

It is fun when you can afford multiples in case things go wrong. The most I've done is repaint Luke's hair, put Klear on Mace's joints and the peg mod on my Vader. I'm sure your Vader will look great when he's done.

Oh and I have a custom cloak being made so that will make him a bit bulkier and help tie everything together. Will probably work on the Mafex one after this project. [emoji1]

Sounds good. Are you modding the lower edge of the helmet?

It's funny the only reason I started this was because I messed up my Vader lmao. Accidentally melted his head....[emoji30] [emoji23]
So I found a few vader head cast and had the bandai kit so decided to try. Haha we will see though.

I am wanted it to sit over the armor instead of inside. Going for this style.

At the end of the day it's what you're happy with that counts. I'm happy with my Mafex, though I wish the weather would make up its mind as to what season it's supposed to be. I want to stand him up again, but, as soon as my room heats up, down he goes!

Sounds like a plan!

Is that a thing?! That might be why I don't like mine. I live in Florida so we only have hot and hotter lmao

Yeah my mafex figures worry me sometimes too. Hahaha when it gets too hot, they might soften up or get greasy or sticky.

Im sure by now though that the figuarts ones will be safe.

It only seems to happen to me with black figures, one loose(ish) joint anywhere and as soon as it gets hot they wilt. Vader and Luke are still in the heap they landed in when they fell a few months ago. I just haven't been able to stand them up again as the minute I did they would have been down again. When I know it's going to stay cold I'll stand them back up again. It's also why I haven't done much with Obi Wan and Maul yet as they would probably have fallen a lot as well.

Anyone seeing a tease of a variant for a phase 1 trooper? He comes with red stripes.

A poster on rebelscum mentioned it, but I can't find the image.

The guy on RS said that he saw the image at Tag Hobby, but I couldn't find anything there. I guess we'll have to wait for the official announcement.

But this one is not unexpected, because we saw it at one of the trade shows, if I am not mistaken.

Hopefully a commander isn't too far behind.
