Haven't seen YYH yet (on my watchlist), but regardless, i'd welcome Figuarts of them with very open arms.
Im a huge fan of Yu Yu Hakusho. It really picks after the first season. the Dark Tournament and Chapter Black being my favorite arcs. The action is rather mediocre but the highlight for me is definitely the camaraderie or animosity between the main characters.
Definitely peaking my interest now, haha. Gonna have to keep an eye on Yusuke and Kuwabara it seems. Now if I may, to even out with what you posted, if I were to choose one franchise to get Figuarts... Cutey Honey, without a doubt. Specifically New/Shin Cutey Honey, which was the sequel OVA series to the original 1972 series. Easily one of my first recommendations for a series that has mainly gone under the mainstream radar, by the way (while i'm case-by-case on the Sub vs Dub feud, this is one where the dub easily wins.). Besides the titular hero herself, i'd immediately jump for the chance to get a representation of Danbei (my personal favorite character from the series). The amount of extra parts that Bandai could throw in with him would be immense (maybe even this one Mazinger reference?), to say in the least.
Kaioken Goku came in and I was pleasantly surprised to find this figure is entirely painted. Since my effect piece is stuck at Anime-Export i had to use the DF one. Scarlet was a good stand in but the Bandai one is amazing even though its just another Goku.
God, does he look awesome. Unfortunately he and FB Jiren are the two POs that I haven't gotten to for this year. Hoping I can pick them up later on. This year imo has really been one of if not the best for DBZ Figuarts if I do say so, myself.
Sailor Moon S.H.Figuarts Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus -Animation Color Edition- Price: 6,050 JPY (Taxes Included) EACH Release Date: Oct 2020 Pre-orders open on the Jun 19, 2020 16:00 JST
If all 5 of the Sailor Scouts: Anime Colour are being released, you know that Tuxedo Mask: Anime Colour will eventually be released as well.
I just decided to get into this line about a month ago and track down all the super version . I wonder what will come with these version
Sailor Moon (Original Release 2015) Sailor Moon (Original Animation Color 2015) Sailor Moon (Animation Color Edition 2020) Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon Crystal)
I recently bought all of their normal versions for good prices, but I couldn't get Jupiter for a good price, so I settled for the Super form for her on Amazon for $40. I will have to get this version of Jupiter for sure now.
For those prices I really hope they come with effects and stuff because that's like twice the price of what they were before. Right now, the only incentive I have to buy Mars is because mine has a crack in her elbow joint (as do Saturn and Uranus), but honestly, I'd rather have the Super versions of them. Hopefully this means a Black Lady reissue is on the way along with the long awaited Wiseman and maybe some additional villains like Demande and Nehalennia.
I actually sold all my normal version to get the super version. I'm still missing Super Jupiter, due to her price. I'm trying to find her for below $45 if possible. I just need Super Jupiter and Chibi Moon and I'm done with the line. The price does seem kind of high. I wonder with this reissue, if they will be reviving the line with some new characters or if this is just another cash grab. A part of me hope the anime edition does not come with effect pieces so I don't feel so bad about purchasing so many set of the Sailor Scout line. I bought the originals then sold them to get the Super version for the effect pieces. I'm just doing all the super scout + neptune, uranus, and pluto.
They're the same just a different coat of paint and the originals prices were 4,620 JPY after taxes it only went up by 1,430 JPY considering they came out 5 years ago that's not that bad unlike GSC reissuing figma Pit and Dark Pit and charging DOUBLE their original asking price when those came out 7 years ago. If anything they're probably restarting the line so they can build up to Eternal's release since SHF's of these characters in 'base form' have been off the market for quite some time, but I can understand where the aggravation is coming from when Tamashii shows off new stuff that you're looking forward to and just shelves it. Good night, sweet prince...
I prefer thousand time the flat DF aura than Tamashii Effect. DF it's more anime accurate, the other one it's a 3d sculpt but for me it doesn't feel like a real and colored aura. But no-one is making flat auras... I made one myself with photografic paper but it's a pain trim the shape with a regular scissors. I was thinking on a flat plastic surface, rigid and translucent, but I would need a laser cutter... that tool is far away of my capabilities.
Yes! I forgot to mention that, the damn space hahaha. Don't know WHY there's no brands making them, they could swim in gold easily!.
That's still nearly a $20 increase for the same figure. That would be like Hasbro selling the new Spider-Man for $20 and then two years from now they repaint him in a lighter shade with no additional accessories but price him at $35. Wait, were they really $46 when they came out? I could have sworn I paid closer to $35 for each Sailor Guardian.
Iron Spider Final Battle Edition releases this week and Isaac Wong on Facebook already has a gallery up: Isaac Wong 的玩具相簿 I'm really glad I decided to double dip on the Iron Spider because this one is leagues better than the first. Haha. Also really glad to see that the included Nano Gauntlet has some finger articulation and has a peg hole inside so that other figures like Hulk and Thanos can wear it too. The unmasked head is doesn't really capture the likeness of Tom Holland that well but does look a little better than Mafex's version.
