Sep- Darth Maul

Nov-Clones and battle droids
Dec- Kylo Ren and First Order Stormtrooper
Jan- Obi-Wan (prequels)

Jan also has Biker Scout with Speeder.


I'm hoping we get another 2 to pre order in October for a Feb release. I wonder which they will be. My guess is Biker Scout and Phasma.

The release dates for Japan are as follows:

Maul - September 26th
Clone & Battle Droid - November 30th
Kylo Ren & FO Stormtrooper - December 31st
Obi Wan TPM - January 31st 2016
Speederbike w/ Scout - March 2016

approx 2 more weeks till Maul, not bad.

October is a breather for my wallet.

Hello everyone! I've only recently discovered SH Figuarts Star Wars line. Jedi Luke looks really cool but I think my favorite look would be ESB Luke. Him and ESB Han Solo would be awesome. Any chance we might see some of the other characters from The Force Awakens like Phasma, Finn or Poe?

BBTS has some of these back up for PO but they seem to have raised the prices quite a bit.

 

[Silrian]

@Hydeous (or anyone else in a position to do this) could you maybe post/send a picture of vader next to a DBZ figuarts (not broly or 16) and shf luke? I'm still on the fence with vader and I'm just not sure if his height will bother me that much.

@Bran Phasma was already shown, check back a few pages for pictures. Knowing tamashii I think there's a good chance we'll see more TFA stuff. ESB luke and Han I don't know, because we've seen early on protos of farmboy luke and anh Han, expectancy is we'll see them first.

 

[Hydeous]

Hey Sil, I don't own a figuarts vader yet, as I have the same concerns as you do

Somebody posted him with the anakin head next to Luke and he looks alright though, height wise.

 

[Platty]

Can any of you dudes recommend a good japanese ebay seller where I can piurchase luke and maul from?

Cheers!!

Plat, you can just go via yahoo japan. It should be cheaper. Get Luke first, and maul later when he's out.

They're already sold out at $95 pop! LOL

@Platty Why not use CD Japan for Maul? CDJapan : S.H.Figuarts Star Wars Darth Maul Collectible

With Luke, there are some sellers with good feedback on eBay and Amazon, but they're just pricey though.

 

[Platty]

Cheers for the help guys.

Is it worth me ordering obi wan from aim ami? Are they good? What are customs charges like from
Japan?

If this was a china ebay seller for a hot toys 1:6 I'd know who to order from and why, but with these I'm new so have no idea who's the best!

 

[Silrian]

I already asked about amiami and they list everything neatly so, yeah, I took the nigh-certain customs bullet cause amiami asks no payment upfront. Can't cancel PO's though!

Are there any japanese sellers known that mark down?

@Hyd oh haha of course. Hmmm Well it seems fairly okay to me, but some people who have shf vader say his height is really annoying. I actually plan to pose Vader solo, and he's still taller than luke, so I'm kinda like how bad could it be for me? He's the best actual sculpt in this scale imo.

I have SHF Vader and Luke, I love both figures, but honestly I do wish Vader was taller. I'm interested to see what they do with Phasma and her height. If she towers over Vader THEN I'll be annoyed (unless we get a revised version of Vader afterwards)

 

[AIR]

Ordered Maul this morning. Is CD Japan reliable?

 

[Platty]

I nearly ordered maul from cdjapan myself, however just before ordering I read some negative reviews. I don't know whether to take the gamble?

I also went to pre order obi wan from ami ami and went through check out only to be told the pre order is sold out!!

 

[SurlyJ]

I took the gamble on cdjapan. Used an Amex card so if they screw me I'm well protected. Worst case is order isn't fulfilled I suppose. I've read some
Negative reviews, mostly due to bad customer service.

 

[MONK]

What did the negative review read? I've been using them to import Hayao Miyazaki Ghibli Blu-ray disc since 2011 and I haven't had one problem with them, ever.

 

[SurlyJ]

Most of the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. I read about them being rude to someone who had a complaint on an order.
