Special Fullaction Body Type-3

[VS1976]

Wow that's really nice. I need to get me a couple of those. Great for referencing when I paint.

That looks insane. I'm definitely interested if the price is not also insane.

Can mods move this to the AF section maybe?

Northwards of USD 314+ (25k Yen) even before shipping

Thanks Bandito. If it is close to that price I may still be tempted, as this is a really unique looking piece. I was close to buying the EB MIB pair for the same kind of money and I reckon this figure blows those out of the water. If the plastics and QC are up to scratch that is. It's a figure that begs for a lot of posing, so it'd better be good for it.

I just had a quick look around and found this: https://www.nekomagic.com/?p=26544

I've sent M-Field an email asking to be put on the Pre-order list. I'll let you all know if I hear anything back.

 

[Lejuan]

Awesome, thanks DeadLeaves

 

[vampirehunterg]

That is a really innovative 1/6 body.

I never got a reply from M-Field. I guess they wanted the submission in Japanese.

From what I've read - which admittedly hasn't been much - I get the impression that this project has been shelved.

If I should find myself needing a "cutie" droid...otherwise,no...PS

Agreed.
Maybe the droid from Starchaser: The Legend of Orin?

Found a couple of ebay listings for this figure, and they're relatively recent. From the same seller there's this one:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/S-F-B-T-3-...=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

..and this one:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/S-F-B-T-3-...=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

$712 and $500 respectively.

 

[DeadLeaves]

Ouch.

I'd like to have one, but, yeah.

 

[Lejuan]

yeah, pretty much... still, interesting to see that they're out there. $300 shipped was what they were offered for, so this is a steep after-market.

 

[DeadLeaves]

I'm holding out in the hope they make a type-4.

 

[Lejuan]

When they do I'll be better prepared with google translate. You brought your Paul Robertson sig back

 

[DeadLeaves]

It rotates, so you never know when it'll show up!

 

[lerath666]

for those that don't already know, this body is intended to be covered completely, OR to have a rubber skin over it. the articulation is designed to bulge and flex like real muscles creating the MOST realistic poses possible.

this wouldn't suffer from "noodle arms" like most no exposed joint bodies.
the "plates" would make it look right for once.

 

[Lejuan]

Interesting lerath. If I were to pick one of these up - though $500 is definitely out of my price range for this - I'd display it as a bare-bones figure. I love the way it's been engineered, for me it'd be too good to cover up
