Yeahh, I canceled it; you saved me money. If the face had looked like the promo pictures, I could’ve forgiven the cape, but it just looks so weird. I know the body has better articulation than the Legends one, but for $85 I was hoping for more. And to get a good third party head will make the total cost even higher, so that’d need to be factored in too. That being said, I hope SHF or Mafex make both Defender and 838 Strange, bc I really like those two designs. Actually, I think I like 838 Strange’s design more than our 616 one. So that’d be cool to get in figure form
In some livestream that preceded and is mentioned in the survey linked earlier in this thread, they did apparently say they plan to hit all 3 eras: original Naruto, Shippuden, and Boruto. There's soooooo many characters I want before anybody from Boruto though... So since that survey made me pick a top 3 lol, guess mine right now are Shikamaru, Orochimaru, and Tobi/Obito. Though Hinata and Neji were very strongly considered as well..
I’ve got one on the way from Amazon Japan and one I can ship from Amiami since my Diaclone order came in. Now I can cancel my EE and Amazon backups.
Shikamaru for sure, after all he is the advisor to Naruto. Orochimaru is also about due. I wonder what type of accessories he will have? A huge pack of snakes would be dope. Tobi/Obito is ok, I would prefer Akatsuki members first. Kisame, Deirdra, Hidan, hell I want them all.
Looks like Buzz is getting delivered today. Pretty excited to mess with him. Only downside is it's hot AF here and so the box is probably going to bake a little before I can get home to it.
Ahhhh, loving Wade so far! Only limitation is I was going for that pose on the rug but there’s no give inward on the leg range, but that’s an incredibly niche pose to attempt. Nothing besides the Desert Eagles to find fault with though!
First impressions of buzz are extremely positive. The sculpt is great, the paint looks good, he has good accessories. Interestingly enough there might also be metal in the joints of his hips? I'm not sure, but he feels weightier than any of my Star Wars or DBZ figures. I don't own a ton of Figuarts, but Buzz might be my favorite.
Completely caught off guard with the Tech On Venom Symbiote Wolverine and Kakashi that went up for preorder tonight. Not a big S.H. Figuarts collector, but preordered one of each. When it rains it pours releases, preorders, and catching up on released figures. My wallet is really hurting this month.
Everything is still up on AmiAmi as of typing this! AmiAmi [Character & Hobby Shop] edit: UPDATE AS OF 7/2/2022 2:10 PM CST
Those MOFOs gave me sold out status within 3 minutes of opening the PO. I just wanted to get an extra set but gave up after all those checkout errors and sold out status. Didn't get to go with HLJ as usual as I eventually fell asleep. It's a sign I'm getting too old for Bandai's PO method. Maybe time to hang it up. Lol!
Didn't even see Loid and Yor go up for preorder last night, as I was so focused on IWSP pack, Wolverine Venom, and Kakashi. Surprised that Spy X Family is even getting Figuarts treatment, and that there is such a demand for them. Do you guys think the Spy X Family figures would be good investments? I hardly ever resell and don't even know if I want to purchase but looking at demand, I don't want to regret not purchasing these, or potentially missing out. Spy X Family is my top anime for the season, just never imagined that they would be turned into action figures.
