S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

Darth maul is BACK UP ON AMIAMI.com Grab him quick.

Thanks for the heads up, managed to swap my order over from HLJ to Ami2, means I get to combine with Thor... Extends the wait for Thor a couple of weeks but hopefully will save some money!

No problem dude, glad it helped.

 

[Sinostrius]

Awesome! Thanks for posting. Those droids look jam hot. My most wanted!

I need the droids like no other! Will be cool to finally have a quality set of R2 & 3PO next to Figuarts Luke on my shelf. Hoping for Empire Luke & Vader, Return Fett, Return Leia not bikini, Han & Chewy, Old Kenobi, Old Master Skywalker & a Shaw Ghost Anakin. Hope TFA is awesome so I can get excited for the new characters.

Darth maul still available pre order on ami ami. He's gone back up.

Thanks for heads up..ordered!

Now the wait..

 

[GasparZizou]

Dude, thanks a bunch, I also cancelled from HLJ and went with Amiami instead.

Has anyone preordered the speeder bike? I've seen a couple places and was wondering were to get the best price? Best I've seen is around 140.00 before shipping.

Bad iPhone photo time!

Is it just me, or does SHF capture the spirit of Star Wars really well?

Yeah. That Vader especially. He's severely underrated in my opinion. Nice pics!

@kenny I ordered the biker from Nippon yasan - that was the best I found that did not require upfront payment.

They have this vibe I can't put my finger on.

I do think both Vader and stormtroopers are flawed, but I also think they're great. Can't explain it, maybe it'll come to me. Vader takes a lot of futzing to arrange his articulation and centre of gravity properly, possibly why he's underrated.

I find them just a tad stylized, where as Figuarts have seemingly changed directions to more movie accurate approach, so it makes vader and stormy seem off, imo

Definitely...love 'em but they're visibly different from other offerings. Not drastically, but you see it. Not sure if that was an intentional change of direction...

Can't wait to pose vader with Luke. Still undecided if I want to pick up a Stormtrooper.

Kinda want the stormy even with its accurate shortcomings, but what's really throwing me off is the fact that the company itself has acknowledged that the product will/might yellow!! Not cool. Plus their model kit is pretty nice (even though I'm kinda not fond of the shoulder gapping) and are a fraction of the price, AND WITH MORE ITEMS!

As excited as I get about most SHF releases, I think I prefer the revoltech trooper.

Great photos! People say the Stormies are flawed but I don't see it. They look perfect to me but then I don't compare them with real costumes. Vader is also very very good, especially when you pull his legs down longer. The only issue I have is getting him to stand can be tricky.

I wish figuarts had a release rate same as Hot Toys. I want my 1/12 FO Squad leader and FO Snowtrooper squad!!!

As excited as I get about most SHF releases, I think I prefer the revoltech trooper.

I've had all of the 6 inch stormtroopers to date, and Revoltech was my favourite, but upon reconsidering my earlier rejection of the SHF, I changed my mind.

Revoltech is very expressive and does things no other figure can, and has a great finish...but for neutral poses and naturalistic proportions, SHF wins, plus they're more durable.

Still waiting to see the MAFEX offering.

This is the first I've heard of this. Where and when was this said?

I was under the impression the trooper is painted; paint can yellow but it's less likely than bare white plastic.

@redguard, when preordering at Nippon you said you don't pay till when it's released right? Can I use PayPal and they won't charge till later? Or will it right away? Thanks.
