SH Figuarts Naruto figures

[Chockles]

Thanks for the pics Lawrence.

Would have been nice to have a variety of facial expressions instead of the standard two in those pics. Those two included are very minor differences.
Anyhows, adding one more to the collection. Wish these weren't bandai online specials, just limits the choice of where to get them from.

 

[Lawrence]

No problem Chockles.

Because it's Minato, & there seems to be rarely (if any) a Minato collectible that I've wanted in my collection, I'm pretty excited for it.

Can't wait to see more of sage naruto

 

[TBlake]

Minato looks decent. Mostly getting him for completion purposes though.

 

[Chockles]

Surprisingly, they never showed Rock Lee at the recent events and then boom, more new ones instead. I hope they have more in the works.

No word on itachi just yet?

Sage Naruto!!!!! I am buying today my Naruto at my comic shop. Argh I am so confused because I own most of the S.H DBZ Figuarts but I don't like the line 100%. This is because I discovered the Medicos SAS figures and the paint job and sculpting looks fantastic.. what to do, what to do.

 

[Lawrence]

He seems to have another face.

You guys think big bad toy store will have him? Or only the webshop?

 

[Chockles]

Sweet. That laughing face is great.

I ordered him locally from my retailer in hk.

 

[Lawrence]

How much did you get him for Chockles?

I think Sasuke was some type of exclusive, & he's on BBTS. Not sure if they are both the same type of exclusive though. Might depend on that.

I want to pre order from Amazon if he goes up on there.

Sasuke was exclusive, and Minato is also exclusive this time as well. Just Naruto wasn't.

I got a good feeling the rest will all be exclusive

Theres really no difference at all, just higher prices and limited places to order.

I preordered at 435hkd which is considered expensive for normal SHF but being exclusive webshop, prices are set high

 

[Lawrence]

That's around $56US. That's similar to how K@kashi (is K@kashi also an exclusive?) & Sasuke are priced on BBTS.

Yeah dude. K@kashi was also exclusive too. Íve got him preordered and he cost a little bit more than Minato

 

[Lawrence]

K@kashi is priced nicely at Anime Island ($39.87), but I don't really buy from there now. My 1st purchase was alright, but later, communication wasn't to my liking, so I order elsewhere, even if the price is higher.

Yeah sometimes its the quality of the packaging/product sent (if purchased online) as well as the service that counts.
Theres always that first time you have to give the shop a try, but if it was that bad, then move onto somebody else.

If these naruto figures weren't web shop exclusive, I would not of gotten them from my local. Id rather just sit at home and order through amiami instead.

So I take it you got naruto and sasuke? Plan to buy more of them? I hope they continue with more down the line, even if they do become web shop exclusive. At least they have shown us Itachi as well as another Naruto. Plus the previous Rock Lee.

I wound up not getting Naruto, even though I liked it enough. Didn't buy Sasuke simply because I wasn't overly impressed with the way he turned out. I have both Medicom Naruto & Sasuke, so I was okay with my decision. But now there are more figures being added to the line (put Rock Lee up for pre order already), so it's kinda making me want to go back & get them. I don't feel I need to rush that much with this line. Naruto & Sasuke are still readily available even now, months after release.

I see. Lucky for you that you didnt buy instantly, now that you can wait for some discount deals and buy them later. Different in HK though, sometimes when they are sold out, which they do eventually, the prices jump up. Hence now Naruto is harder to get hold of in HK at a cheap price. I preordered one at full price when he was first announced, and then after release he went down to a very low price of 200hkd so I bought a few more of him.

For Sasuke though, maybe cos he was a limited web shop release, his prices still hold well. I can see the same for ****shi and minato. These shf arent the best, but its ok, as long as the price is reasonable. Thats why I wish they were released at normal prices.

The medicom figures are a totally different thing. haha I wish I had though but I was late to the game. I however collect the Gecco statues though, they are imo the best representation of the characters in 1/6 scale. Not articulated which is a shame though.

 

[Lawrence]

I'm kinda doing the same thing with the Gecco statues, that I'm doing with the SHF line. I want to see more of them before buying. Hokage version Naruto might be a bit pricey now, but the regular is still cool, & still available. I have the Gecco Snake, so I know they make quality statues.

200HKD for Naruto sounds cool. Amazon had a similar sale for maybe a little more at around $27 at one point. Maybe I should have got one then, but I think that was before seeing all the other SHF proto's, so I don't think I was bothered enough, even at that price.

After watching episode 421, I really want .....

Night Guy

I like not reading the manga, because I can be surprised by things like that in the anime.

 

[Chockles]

Yeah, Gecco shown an unpainted ver of ****shi awhile back and it looked great. Wished they showed more of him during the last few toy/figure events. Love that idea where they connect with each other.

If you see that price again, you should pick him up.

I dont follow the manga, just the anime and its been a long time since I followed the series. Im so far behind - haha must catch up. the same goes to one piece. damn it.
