BBTS needs to pay their middleman in Japan for these Japanese exclusive figures but still. Oof, dat markup.
Yoda from NY cost me about $85 shipped. So yep Im good with that. I wanted SHM Gamera 95 as well but it’ll wait.
$113 for Yoda?!?!?! Fuck that. I get that he is an exclusive but no way in hell am I paying that much.
Don't know why we gotta keep repeating this If you use BBTS for tamashii exclusives, you got no one to blame but yourself You usually save around 33% or more going with a Japanese source, esp if you're shipping multiple items I mean, NY has it for under $70
This is why I don't have Rocket Racoon. Those tiny figures cost more than the older DB figuarts and the accessories don't make up for it. 112 for a 3 inch figure with barely any accessories is crazy. You can buy the Hot Toys version of Yoda for like 200. Those small figures shouldn't run more than 40 dollars.
That’s why I never considered the SHF Rocket. It’s easier to just buy the marvel legends and call it a day *Endgame hype intensifies* I need Captain Marvel already!
So, I’m thinking of getting another MCU figure, but I’m not 100% on which one. My local comic book store (where I’d like to buy it, ideally) has Wasp, Falcon, Black Panther, Winter Soldier, Hulkbuster v2, Ant-Man and Ant, and Ragnarok Thor. I heard BP and WS weren't worth it, and that Hulkbuster v2 and Falcon weren’t very pose able for their price. So between Wasp, Ant-Man (and Ant), or Ragnarok Thor, who would y’all say is worth it? I enjoyed both Ant-Man and the Wasp as well as Thor Ragnarok, but I think I’d want IW/Endgame Thor. Thoughts?
Well, I have both Ant-Man and Wasp. However, my Wasp has legs with uneven lengths, I checked multiple times and it wasn’t me misusing the drop down hips; so I’m trying to get a replacement from BBTS. All things being equal, I think Ant-Man and Wasp are great, you really can’t go wrong with either. They’re both worth it, however the ant might be a better accessory if that’s your thing
I have to agree with @Megatron118. Based on your preference regarding a Thor fig, i think the Ant-Man with ant is more bang for your buck.
So I'm not sure if I should be happy or depressed there hasn't been a single Figuart revealed in months that I must buy.
Thanks for you input! Yeah, the Ant included looks like such a fun accessory, so I think I’ll go with him first, then Wasp. (But don’t count on it )I personally really enjoy the Ant-Man films, so I don’t mind getting those 2.
Black Panther and Winter Soldier are like 60 bucks on Amazon right now. Winter Soldier is meh. BP is pretty awesome if you like the character. I think Falcon hits all the poses you'd want him too. Antman, however would be my recommendation. If he doesnt come with the ant, he very bare bones, but super posable.
Give it a couple of weeks, I'm sure there's a half dozen or more Avengers Endgame reveals on their way. I'd almost expect them to put out scale-armor Captain America before Hasbro does.
The thing is, I have no interest in the Marvel Figuarts, other than Palpatine I'm done with the Star Wars line, and I'm so far behind in Dragonball/Sailor Moon stuff I've just given up on the lines. At this moment, the only series I have an interest in are Ultraman 66 and Ultra Seven as they're not doing Kamen Rider stuff I want (Black and Blade) and obviously their Setai line is defunct.
I hope they drastically improve their Captain America figure this time around, especially in the facial likeness. But ideally, they’ll knock all the original 6 out of the park, considering the film’s core is about their journeys coming to an end. If there’s ever a time to make “definitive” versions of these characters, feels like it’s now. Same goes for Hasbro, Mafex, Mezco, Hot Toys, etc. After all, it’s the Endgame
I’m hoping they make a killer Ronin, as I’m really digging the design, and I don’t think they’ve made a Hawkeye, right? Honestly, Endgame is the one film where I’ll probably focus on one line in order to secure all the figures. If this is truly the last film for some of these characters, I’d like their outfits in glorious SH Figuarts!
