Where are you buying from? I managed to get the last lot of phase 2 clones and geonosis troopers for about 48 NZD shipped per figure here. I can imagine these will go for around 60 aud or under shipped on ebay when they're out.

Hlj mostly, I'm including shipping in that price though because I often just put the one item into the cart to see the true total price

Anyone use https://www.premiumcollectables.com.au/ ? They recently gave me a credit for an issue with a shipment. Probably won't go with them anymore (shipping prices went up to the US), so looking to sell the credit. Sorry if it's weird to post, but figure it could save someone a few bucks and also get some of my money back too!
Bandai model kit is by far still the best looking sadly.

Is that really something to be sad about?
Sculpt is far and away the best, it has the proper shine the armor should have, its cheap, and has an excellent range of articulation plus multiple weapons and hands. I'd say it's perfect for army building, until you factor in that you have to build it yourself. But if you're going to only have a couple, the model kit Stormtrooper is hands down the best 1/12 Stormtrooper on the market and rightfully so.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ugh the prices of these figures just keep getting higher and higher. Anakin and Han for $85. I'm surprised Chewie is in the $60's. The troopers are killing me. I'm gonna be way behind on those. Gonna have to slowly get them.

I got my Clone Wars Obi Wan 'Noel Edmonds' Kenobi today.
Definitely the most disappointing so far. 1, he looks like Noel Edmonds (Deal or no Deal?), 2 his saber is slightly bent and 3 his right sleeve is missing weathering on the part that is hidden when the arm is straight. Overall, the quality is a massive drop from Ep 1 Kenobi.
He looks ok from some angles though.

CD Japan has Anakin for $66.15 USD, Han for $45.94 USD, and Chewbacca for $47.52 USD. If you are in the US, then that would be the place to order them.
The high-waisted belt really bothers me. I'm hoping it can be pushed down.
Yup plus you can use your points to lower the cost even more
but you better hurry only 4 Left

Sad to hear. It hasn't escaped my notice that as the line's gotten more popular and the production batches larger, the quality has dipped accordingly. I've got a ton of stuff I foolishly preordered at AmiAmi (so no cancellations) - two shoretroopers, three stormtroopers, a tank commander and Han Solo. If they aren't up to par I think I'm done with this line.
Same. The early figures were mostly spot on - I hope this isn't a downward trend. If it is, I'll be committing Amiami account suicide.

Exactly this. I only have one Figuarts (ANH Luke Skywalker) as I'm only interested in main ANH characters from this line. However I've been following the entire line quite closely and lately Figuarts seem to be dropping the ball. Same thing that happened with Play Arts Kai. Prices go up and quality drops. Lately there seem to be more misses than hits.
Meanwhile you have Medicom's Mafex line greatly improving. If Bandi doesn't start fixing it's Figuarts line, Mafex may take the #1 spot.

No doubt. The last 2 figures have been complete garbage. (Fett/Kenobi)

Fett had some looseness issues but it was 3x better than anything else weve had, and I dont know what you guys received but my obi wan is pretty well perfect, likeness isnt 100% but its closer than sideshow or hasbro ever got

I think it's premature to worry too much about SHF quality.
I'll grant that Jango and this Obi Wan are underwhelming, measured against the high bar of the line as a whole; but the RO stuff looks good so far, as do what look like production models of Han and Chewie.
They do have their misses, more so I think in their MCU line, but overall I don't see a general decline.

Let's not go crazy here. Both are less then perfect (actually Fett is one of my favourites yet!) but calling them garbage is rather hyperbolic

Yeah you guys are over analyzing this. Tamashii has BY FAR the best figures in this scale. Not all of them will be perfect but I don't think their overall quality has decreased just cuz of a couple of figures. Tbh I don't even see what's so terrible about Jango and Obi Wan. I think they're great

I thought you guys would have loved Obi and jango, they look great, especially with a little modding. I know you might say we shouldn't have to modify expensive figures, but one look at any hot toys thread shows how much people enjoy it
