S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

Here, I know what would make those Black Series Chewies better for you guys saying that they're crap and that the SH figuarts is better!

What is the consensus on picking up the 40th Leia and Obi Wan vs holding out hope for an SH version?

They are good figures (not Figuarts quality mind you) and definitely some of the better Black Series humans I've seen. I was in the same position as you and I went for it. At the very least I would get Leia as Figuarts hasn't even hinted at making her, and she looks good next to the Figuarts Luke.

What would bother me about SHF Leia, is if they made her with plastic tunic, like give into the fabric meme already, look at Mafex, Kylo Ren looks awesome.

Same goes for Obi Wan, I can't stand his robe.

So what's the chances if I look back through your posts in this thread that you will be criticizing everytime figuarts brings out a new figure DiFabio? Quite high I will guess.

Are you even a fan of figuarts or are you just here to troll? Gaspar is giving decent discussion at least but I'm yet to see anything but trolling from you.

It's fine though, next troll post from you and I'm setting you to ignore anyway.

Lol keep thinking the BS is better. Save yourself 40 bucks and get an inferior figure by all means. It's all subjective but for the life of me I can't see how you can honestly say the BS is a better representation of Chewie. Next you'll say that Han is better than the Figuarts [emoji849]

It seems there needs to be a Figuarts safe space thread.

We don't want an echo chamber either....

I definitely think the Figuarts is better but I'll admit, I had a chuckle at this.

The Figuarts isn't a perfect figure and my biggest issue with it is the more disjointed look it has in those key areas you have pointed out. That is where the BS beats it for sure. However, besides that the Figuarts takes it for me in almost every aspect (from what I have seen). Once I have the figure in hand I will be able to give a more concrete opinion.

 

[jye4ever]

People are so sensitive in this thread, low tolerance to opposite opinions, no wonder why mods have to step in often.

/\This/\

 

[Big Deano]

Well, it IS a thread dedicated to figuarts star wars figures, go figure if our tolerances are stretched because of how often they get criticized over the tiniest of things and how often the BS figures (which really shouldnt even be discussed here, a general figure thread is for that) get praised just because they are cheaper and can be hand painted to look MAYBE on par to figuarts out the box.

Details arent everything, and what folks continue to fail to realize is that figuarts is just as much about articulation as they are paint apps. Its in their motto for goodness sake.

Now im dropping it, im tired of having to defend these figures on a forum supposedly dedicated to them. /rant.

 

[GasparZizou]

The fact that it's dedicated to it doesn't mean unconditional praise nor that there's a limit to the criticism allowed.

You don't have to defend it that's what people don't get, you don't have to refute every single criticism people make, if you don't agree you can just ignore them, you don't have to start a debate, and if you start a debate doesn't mean it has to become an argument, and if you make it into an argument, at least don't make it into a personal one, but if you do, then suck it up (not pointing fingers at anyone)

Lighten up people, Jeez

 

[illproxy]

feel like we in kindergarten and boring teachers are explaining the debate team.

anyways interested in seein more of the obi SHF, wish they cranked out more OT figs in general. bespin luke, hoth leia etc my list of SW SHF wants is HUGE.

 

[piprox74]

I thought I told you peasants the score earlier...SHF 7.5, BS 6.5. now drop it....

I thought all that stuff went without saying.

My SHF wants haven't changed in a long time:
- Dooku
- Maul speeder
- Sheev, but for the love of god, no plastic robe.

My main want was Qui-Gon, but when the reveal (and price) happened, the interest bottomed out.

Lando or a flightsuit Luke would get my moneys. ANd after recently picking up SHF Harley Quinn, any Leia post A New Hope would be excellent.

This. Someone needs to make a Dooku.


I'd also like an SH Bespin Luke to complete the trio of farmboy to Jedi. If I had one gripe about Farmboy Luke, it was the choice to give him a blastshield and even a lightsaber instead of other stuff like the stormtrooper, belt, blaster, grappling hook, etc. Had SH dropped the blast shield and smiling face and added a swap out belt, gun holding hand and blaster, it would have been perfect.

Bespin Luke is the perfect blend of soldier and Jedi.

So for Black Series Chewy too look good, it just needs a professional paint job?

For the people who can't paint that well, how much does that add to the figure? Have to find someone that can paint well, ship it to them, pay them and etc. There goes the value it had over the Figuarts. Still has the crappy articulation though.

The people calling the Figuarts people sensitive could say the exact same thing about the Black Series folks lol. You **** on one of those and they'll say ''uh, but it's a 20 dollar'' and they'll go on and on about how good it is for the value and all it needs is that expensive professional paint job that 9 times out of 10, they can't do themselves.

I love Black Series, I collect them all but their paint apps is the worst and the praise their getting in this thread is laughable considering just to make them look good, all it needs is a professional paint job. I don't paint very well, as most of us in this forum don't, so that doesn't help us at all.

Then you consider most of them have limited articulation, cheap warped plastic and etc.

Figuarts comes out the the box looking good.
