You forgot to factor in the "AmiAmi is bullshit with shipping" factor. I swear sometimes they go out of their way to make the shipping charge high to negate the savings.
Really? Last time I ordered from them, shipping was really good. I think it was like $8 shipping for my S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryuki and Dragredder set.
I have to vouch in for high shipping fees. About 3 years or so, my shipping max was 5000yen. (multiple figmas/shf/revo) Last year it went from 7000yen to 10 000 yen SAL. Dumping my images since D-arts seems to be merging with SHF.
You mean size, weight, and international shipping method? Yeah, thats in there.... I paid $22 to ship two Figmas by EMS in December. Thats two small light boxes that weigh less than 1.4 lbs together. I just paid $32 to EMS ship a 3lbs statue (size is about 3-4 figma boxes). So yeah, size and weight difference there.
I got Elizabeth today! Comparison with figma Labrys: (I don't own Thanatos, so Dragredder will just have to do.) I love her. She's my favorite D-Arts so far (The only other ones I own are Megaman X and Zero). Her articulation isn't bad, though her dress hinders it a bit. Also, DAT CHAIR.
Did anyone here know about the S.H. Figuarts release of Imperialdramon that's coming out? It totally flew under my radar. If I hadn't already sold all my other Digimon D-Arts I'd be all over this release. S.H.Figuarts ƒCƒ“ƒyƒŠƒAƒ‹ƒhƒ‰ƒ‚ƒ“iƒtƒ@ƒCƒ^[ƒ‚[ƒhj | ƒvƒŒƒ~ƒAƒ€ƒoƒ“ƒ_ƒC | ƒoƒ“ƒ_ƒCŒöŽ®’ʔ̃TƒCƒg
What's with Bandai? They'll show prototypes for stuff, and never release it, and other times they'll just drop an announcement/preorder out of nowhere. but yeah, that's weird. I never heard of this happening until now. Where'd you get that Satan from? I just noticed this. I can't wait for this!
Nabbed Black Zero yesterday, now to hope for a re-issue of proper Red Zero or something, heck I'm in need of Regular X, Force Armour X and Ver 1 Zero too not to mention Original Rock and Bass... Hmmm, oh well at least I've got three iconic characters from this universe. Black Zero looks awesome too with Ultimate Armor X, can't wait to snap a few decent pics of the pair of them fighting Vile.
It's official. D-Arts, as a separate toy line, is over. All future releases will be SHFiguarts. "D-Arts" is to "SHFiguarts" Integrate!
I'm just missing v1 zero and I don't really want him. I hated that look and the zero I know and love is v2. But yeah get MM & Bass tho. I remember hearing the bass reviews weren't too good, but he's a fun figure. Displays great with MM & rush.
Anyone here think there would be chance of a Ridley figure? I recall a while back that Metroid was one of the poll options for D-Arts even though the line is now integrated into SH.
Honestly, from my experience I'd say no. It LOOKS very nice, but the knee joints are tiny and don't hold up the legs well (on mine, at least). The shield is stupidly hard to attach. The legs are weird in that the black thigh part is a swivel and the armored thigh part is attached to that on a ball joint which always felt a bit restrictive to me. Mine's ankles have also always been weirdly restrictive, but they may just be stuck. Aaaand mine's head is INSANELY loose, but I can fix that with glue someday. And mine just doesn't peg into the stand at all. I had to swap in a claw to hold it up safely. All in all I paid I think $43 for mine and I felt a bit disappointed with it, but it DOES look great sitting there as long as I never touch it. The metallic paint is quite nice. And mine very well could just be a bad QC figure. I never got around to trying to swap it so I can't say for sure. But based on my experience I probably wouldn't pay more than $35-40.
so amazon screwed up on my preorder for reaper of souls, so i ended up with $45 in store credit. bought ultimate armor X as my first d-arts figure and cuz MMX. anything i should know about the figure beforehand? does it come with a stand?
I was really pulling for Iris during the last D-arts polling, but even I was surprised she got fourth place. I can dream.
