S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

[Sinostrius]

Yeah I asked 2 days ago if I could drive 10 minutes and just pick it up and they told me "they have to make an attempt to deliver it first". I got my 3 boxed Luke's from Japan & it only took 14 days which was earlier then I expected them.

I have a figuarts Goku knockoff. The body paint and plastic colors are weak but the faces are perfecto.

That cloak shouldn't be hard to make, I plan to make some for mine.

Would like to see it when you do!

 

[redguard]

Got any pics?

@ HYD, really bad cell phone pics? yep I got em. Vader's legs are extended at the hips in these pics, I think it works pretty well actually. Threw in my only remaining black series figs for further reference.

 

[Flintty]

Cool, I didn't know you could extend his legs. I'll give it a try

 

[redguard]

Yeah its pretty cool, I'm new to Figuarts, and I had not seen that type of articulation before. Luke's range of leg movement would have been much greater had they done the same with him.

Good shout, Redguard. I tried it and it massively improves the figure (he's still a ****** to get standing straight on his own though!).
Some photos...

I love these figures!

 

[redguard]

Great pics Flint. I love them too, everything about them really - even the smell of them

Thanks!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes the smell! One of the first thing I do with my Figuarts and Figmas is smell them. It's weird but satisfying

Great pics. I have that Vader and background coming in today, any good places to get a "space" picture to put behind it?

 

[Silrian]

Thanks for the pictures man! Yes the leg extension joint is one of SHF signature ways of providing bigger articulation there (and the extension can be required to enable max use of the thigh swivel), yet being able to hide it in vanilla poses.

It's funny how I'm debating which to buy out of three darksiders of each trilogy: Maul, Vader and Kylo. If Kylo is awesome I'm gonna be annoyed he'll probably unfindable after TFA's release, but I hope he'd get a rerelease. Think I'm gonna go with Maul over Vader if I can still find him for a descent price.

SO are all these releasable except the biker scout? Is that the only web exclusive?

 

[Sebkenobi]

Wonder if they're maybe factory runoffs? Maybe legit but ones that didn't pass quality inspection and didn't get packaged.

I ordered one and received it today also (took about a week to Montréal, Canada, ordered last Wednesday), and looks very legit to me...

Even greater in hand than all the pictures I've seen! The paint aps on the open mouth face version is so-so, but the other one is perfect.
Would have cost me 20$ more to get it with the box.

First Figuart I purchase, not the last... Seems like I'll be joining the others and replacing the Black Series by these...

The above mentioned loose Figuarts Luke available on eBay is 100% authentic and a good deal if you couldn't secure one at the original price! Compared him to my unboxed one out of Japan and its almost a better copy of the figure better face print no factory defects so these may just be a stash some one grabbed off the production line.

Nice find

Looks like IMO Figuarts nails the costume and proportions on Kylo, but the hood and belt look a bit more accurate on HT

Black series is completely off the running

For FO either is fine by me
Can you find one with the Disney Elite version added. Guess we have to throw that in the mix now

Get some comparison pics if you can . Because I've been reading these unboxed figures are bootlegs

Sure hope not, cause I just bought one. I have an original w/box also, and will likewise post pics when the new one arrives.

@Guyver1 I found them on Fwoosh figuarts star wars thread. Forgot who posted them or if that was the maker.

I only go to fwoosh very sporadically, often people from other forums chime in to the sideshow thread and it becomes a enough of an information source. But every so often I check some other places and stumbled upon this.

Yeah I kindof hope SHF kylo's hood is soft plastic so it can maybe be bent into shape. Cause honestly, I'd say that hood shape is pretty close to being the only thing not making that figure a 10/10.

Black Series Ren looks so much better than figuarts. Mask is more silver in person to.

Hot Toys, Black Series, Figuarts for Kylo rankings

Cool pic, figuarts hold their own. Hasbro looks cheap as usual - look at those terrible Kylo elbow joints.
