Wait... you lost me?! Did they tease Sunshine?! I used to read the manga sonif he’s released, I’m getting him!

 

Speaking of Frieza, I really want his 100% power buff form

 

First teased 3 years ago, then the line went dormant.

 

^You and me both pal, we need those last 5.

 

It's not figuarts but this just came in. I played with it for 5 minutes as I didn't have the time. My brief impression is to stick with the figuarts.

 

Never thought that I’d get the whole decade crew.

 

Let me copy your homework but blow it up a little...


I'm somewhat surprised this is an officially licensed thing.

 

Loki isn't perfect, but not bad. Ankles are damn-near useless, no hand for solidly holding the cube. Likeness is a bit off. But not bad overall. eKnightMedia came through for me once again.

 

New teaser revealed by Tamashii... Maybe Janemba is coming!.

 

Oh ok, I thought it was a recent (like within a week) sighting.

I really enjoyed the series and I’m left with Big Budo, Brockenman, Ramenman and the Ninja from the series? The problem is I can’t decide between the anime and manga colours.

For example, I like anime Robin Mask but like manga Ashuraman. :/

 

Naaaaah. Bandai is doing tentacle hentai characters now.  

 

I see, everything have sense now.  

Aaah... Those pervert Japanese...  

 

Confirmed to go up for pre-order Nov 6, 2020 JST

 

Just put in an order on Omnime, finally getting DF Goku Black, along with Orange's SSJ2 head. Will report on the quality on the latter on arrival.

 

As perfect as the Dragon Stars version was, I'll definitely be picking this up.

I wonder if this will be available in P-Bandai USA. Anyway, I'm still waiting on my Eternal Sailor Moon.

 

I got my IW Goku today.
It's... apples and oranges to Figuarts. I wouldn't necessarily call them either/or. Based on this figure, I don't get the feeling that Bandai is trying to develop a comprehensive line, I think this is more of a showcase series concept.
Whether you want this is going to come down to your expectations from a figure. While the articulation is quite good, it's not QUITE up the the level of a Figuarts 2.0 body. This is mainly due to limited outward movement in the hips. You will find yourself wanting just a bit more than you get. Which is unfortunate, because the range of movement in the ankles is excellent. It's just wasted though.
On the other hand, the shoulder butterfly movement is better and smoother than on a Figuarts, more natural looking. Elbow articulation is about the same, but the wrist and hand movement is superior to Figuarts. The hands have a cutout on the palm side to allow the hands to move inward more while retaining natural-looking positioning.
On the detail and aesthetics side, this blows Figuarts out of the water. Not to knock SHF, it's just that IW has more room to work with in incorporating extra detail. The paint, sculpt, and presentation are all top shelf, second to none.

Overall, I'm left with the impression this is more a display piece, a poseable statue, than a play piece. I think this line is going to highlight select characters rather than trying to develop a comprehensive cast run.
If you're looking for a next-level display piece, then this is right up your alley. If you want a more dynamic, play-capable figure, I don't think this is going to be to for you.
