S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

[matkron]

I'm a stickler for scale. It doesn't have to be PERFECT, but when you put this Chewie next to their Han something IMMEDIATELY jumps out at you as looking off or wrong. So it distracts/detracts from the whole figure for me.

I get it, you do you! Doesn’t seem like Mafex will ever make one, but I’d be interested to see what they’d do. You never know what scale they’re gonna choose. Sometimes they fit right in with other lines, and sometimes they’re giant.

I'd imagine Mafex being way too tall lol. But I was definitely hoping to see them take a crack at it. They've been real slow on the Star Wars front, only two new figures coming this year (announced anyway).

Not sure why they're even making one. The Mafex Boba is perfect.

Literally looks like a small human being inside a costume with a helmet on.

Sounds dumb, but owners know what I mean lol

But isn’t it a small human being inside?

As Robokillah in the Fwoosh review says “looks like a little dude in a suit”

The thing that Mafex does or did right with Boba that almost no one else does is they paint the elbow and knee joints. I don't think SHF does on any I have and the few Figmas (Deadpool) I have don't. It really adds a lot to make the figure look good and honestly shouldn't add too much work to the figure.

Yeah we’re looking at you Mafex SS Deadshot *[emoji102][emoji1375]

That what reckon more importantly as I’m seeing in the Hottoys ESB Boba Fett threads, is just getting the helmet sculpt right. They are still arguing about the sculpt over there, whereas with this smaller 1/12 figure, they’ve really nailed it. It’s the right kind of big. Then there’s rest of the proportions, the correct paint application, etc

ANH Obi-Wan isn't even out in Japan until Friday. Maybe they sent you TPM Obi-Wan instead.

Heh great minds think alike, some of my greatest essays in University came from there - a sort of “think tank” [emoji848][emoji372] of sorts.

You know I never get tired of pictures of this figure, everyone everywhere keep posting [emoji7]

Dangggggg

 

[ShootingtheGalaxy]

Obi-Wan looks a LOT better there. It looked like Obi-Hilter before. But that hood looks terrible still lol

 

[matkron]

Can't find a photo of Chewie yet, but damn. Love the box art and that dirty, dirty trooper.

 

[matkron]

Jk, though the photos are terrible haha. So 3 faces!

Still got the moves!

 

[Silrian]

Lmao!

3 faces for Chewie? Nice, I thought the goggles were removable. Glad Ben Kenobi turned out less hitlery.

(Off topic: I nearly bought that Deadshot, damn I'm glad I dodged that bullet. Same with Bane, what were they thinking!?)

 

[Captain Clown]

Ah man, I'm sad I missed the preorder for Ben at BBTS. He looks so good.

I have a LCS that gets most of the SW Figuarts figures, so I'll try there in a couple weeks.

A photo of this updated Obi-Wan taken in some showroom was posted here a while ago and in that photo the hood looked better. Maybe the hood was not plugged in properly in these photos? There seems to be quite the gap and it looks as if you can push the hood down a bit further for a somewhat better fit. Due to the open Jedi robes they couldn't go the Hermit Luke route and make it more seamless. Still, a great improvement over both the prototype and the BS version.

Please post out of box pics, ideally with comparison to other figures like Figuarts and Black Series Chewie and Han
