S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

[markecho]

The speeder bike that came with my Scout Trooper is annoying the hell out of me. I've had it for almost a year, and all of a sudden the bike is pointed all the way up. I can't pose the bike anymore. Anybody have this problem?

The socket isn't that tight and loosens over time.

While heat and cold water can bring it back, it's temporary.

I used a half-centimetre piece of black twist tie (very fine wire with flat black plastic coating) as a shim and it LOCKS the bike in an arrow-straight position.

Just don't force it or overdo it to avoid warping the socket completely.

Have you heard of the super glue trick? Google or youtube super glue to fix loose joints.

You are not gluing anything but basically adding a little glue, letting it dry and that adds friction. I have not tried it personally but read it works wonders on tightening joints.

I was thinking about trying a hot glue gun. Thanks for the suggestions.

Just looking at the figure release dates on the Tamashii site. Including Padme we will have had at least one Star Wars Figuarts per month for a year, and 17 figures in 12 months. Fantastic release pace!

If we assume that December and January will have a number of EPVIII releases, I expect the rest of the year will look something like this:

July - nothing
August - Stormtrooper Finn
September - Deathtrooper specialist
October - TFA Han
November - R2/3PO

My Kylo Ren has shipped.

There's old Ben Kenobi too. Or has he vanished from the trade shows like Rey?

He and Rey look like early prototypes, so maybe we'll get them in 2018!

I dig it. I hope they slip something in for July. And would love to see some new reveals! Finn and Han look great, but not necessarily my most anticipated figures.

My Kylo Ren has shipped.

Heck yeah. I can't find any photos yet! Was it Hawkeye that got delayed? I've heard some people's Kylos haven't shipped because of some sort of delay, guessing they were shipping with Hawkeye.

No news for the Specialist? I need that figure so bad.

Nothing yet. I'm also hoping that we get the other 2 Shoretrooper variants at some point.

Did anyone order Kylo from Nin-Nin? I haven't received any payment request or invoice. When I paid by card it put a temporary charge that dropped off, so I haven't been charged. This is my first order with them so don't know what the process is.

I believe they automatically charge when they receive their stock. I have loved them so far and their reward points are incredible. But I received this email from them when I wrote to double-check on the Early Bird Anakins I ordered the first day. I noticed they had removed the bonus pictures from the product page and was concerned. Still waiting for another response because I'm going to be pretty bummed/mad if I'm reading this right.

"Hello,

We sent a message about that.
Our supplier cut our pre-stock, we can't get the limited edition with special parts.

From now, there two solutions:
1/ We will ship the normal version
2/ We will refund you

Please tell us which solution you prefer.

Thank you and best regards

The Nin-Nin team"

And they definitely did not "send a message about" this...

I bit the bullet and pre-ordered the Ren ex. un-masked from them as well. No emails from Nin-Nin yet requesting to take my money....

That's why I cancelled the 2-head Anakin from Nin-Nin and preordered again on MyKombini. They really didn't care about the two versions, just want to sell the figure. I was the guy that ask them to put the second head image on the product's description, they did it, but they removed it a few weeks later.
This is not good.

Is Kylo releasing today?

Ah man, I should have done that. Ugh. I'm gonna be super bummed if I miss out and have to shell out $100 for the figure later.

Woo! Please do!

 

[Evil_Ash]

Man, still nothing from MHtoyshop.

This is crazy, I should have Deathtrooper, Shore trooper and R1 Stormy by now.

 

[DjBoogaloo]

Just got him and quickly took some pics
