S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

Sounds like a great idea. Thanks! I'll try tamiya clear coat paints left over from my gunpla days. Brush a bit on the main peg on the arm to tighten it a bit

Just be careful when tightening the balljoints on the hands folks. The ball being too tight can be just as bad as being too loose, even worse because you risk stressing the plastic more and snapping the joint when swapping hands.

If I want to tighten joints on figures I use Future acrylic floor polish. It goes on clear and clean and usually works unless the joint is super duper loose. If I use too much and something has to give the Future will scrape off before the plastic breaks.

FINALLY I got the rikhor robes. Took much longer to arrive than were supposed to. Anyways, they are amazing and highly recommended. Compliments the figures so well and excuse the crappy pics lol

Those do look great, and I'm glad to hear you received yours! I ordered my dark brown robe for Luke on 2/25 and haven't received them yet, and the shipping info hasn't changed since 3/11. When you said they took "much longer" than they were supposed to, how long do you mean from when you ordered to when you received them?

I ordered on 2/25 as well and my status didn't change for a few weeks. Even when it got to the States, it was held up for quite a while. Never had to wait that long for a package from Japan

Oh yeah, forgot about that. There was a time i solely used that as top coat. On my custom transformers and hobby kits. Makes them shiny as heck. Sets perfectly by itself too. So you dont have to worry about putting on too much. I think it's called "Pledge" here hehe. Thank you for all the advice! Yeah, id probably go with future/pledge as it's much safer for the figure.

Got a Phasma for $55 shipped if interested.

Anyone know when the Scout Trooper releases this month?

Also, anyone else display your figs on a shelf? Since I plan on collecting the majority of this line I want something cheap that looks good and is durable I can mount on the wall.

End of the month.

April 18th. I recommend display cases. It's a bit of a pain in the ass to dust those figures.

whys that?

Don't want to do both this and hot toys and for star wars, I find I don't like it as much in figuarts form as dbz, because figuarts excels most with cartoons and video games characters to me, less so with movie characters. I'm going to keep a couple troopers, Maul and Ren and sell off the rest.

 

[12parsecs]

Does anyone think there's a chance they'll release Maul with Bloodfin speeder? I don't collect prequel figures but that would be a definite purchase. Seems like it's a possibilty as there's a scout trooper and speeder on the way. Also, really hoping they release the scout trooper on his own. Also seems probable as they have multiple exclusives of the FO trooper.

One last thing, on an unrelated note, does anyone know if the Bandai AT-AT walker model is a real possibility for a release? I can't find any information on it besides a video.

 

[Smudger9]

My Figuarts FO army just keeps growing! Can't wait for the Gunner and Riot trooper. Wonder if we'll get a Snowtrooper or Flametrooper.

 

[Big Deano]

So, news regarding the model kits, according to fwoosh the next one after Kylo Ren is the clone trooper, apparently coming with BOTH phase 1 and 2 helmets!

Heres hoping we get a decal sheet with Utapau and 501st decals! This is one model I am willing to buy multiples of!

 

[Getter Dragon]

I'm in the same boat as you. I sold off all my Star Wars Figuarts even though I love this line, but I just can't justify collecting these and Hot Toys. Well, at least I made a small profit selling them all.

Picked up Obi-Wan for a decent price at CDJapan. Love the headsculpt.



So, what are the chances of Qui Gon actually being released? I've heard some stories about Figuarts showing prototypes for figures they never release.

Bonus: Kanan Jarrus

After the Rebels Season 2 finale, they could include two alternate heads with him! Spoiler free, but I hope I've intrigued anyone who hasn't seen it.

I'd love to see a Figuarts Sidious, I don't even mind which. I guess the office duel version might go well with Mace.

 

[DeltaTwo]

I'm interested in the Figuarts line, what's the consensus on Figuarts vs Mafex? How often do they come out, how far in advance do they announce new figures?

I don't want a massive collection, just the main characters, it's be nice to have some prequel and original trilogy characters to go with them.

I really wanted to get back into collecting Star Wars figures with TFA, bought a load of 6" Black Series figures and the paint apps were awful, way too hit and miss for me, I don't have a toy store nearby so I have to buy online.

I have a lot of 3.75" figures up to ROTS, so maybe I should just get the 3.75" Black Series, but I don't think I'd be satisfied with that level of detail.

No... must resist... must wait for Episode II or III Obi-Wan...

Speaking of men wearing dressing gowns to work, my Rikhor409 cape finally showed up a few days ago.

I'm pretty blown away by how much these add to the figure for such a low price. They're really well-made.

 

[guyver1]

I wonder how Figuarts will do the Rogue One figures
