Its a new figure. It may be a new mold but theres no way to be sure. To me, it looks like its using the old ssj goku mold.

My guess is that the remaining figures are going to be web exclusives. If im not mistaken, Rose is.

Rose and fire emblem are available for preorder on BBTS. I'm assuming since Tiger & Bunny have officially made it over via Viz Media, bluefin is treating all the main figures as non-exlusives (ala power rangers, dragonball figs).

Ahh thanks! It was hard to tell without the original Goku figure in hand at the con.

Seeinga s how I just bought and watched both BD volumes in a week, yes, yes they are out and the dub is god damn fucking fantastic!!! Even one of my friends who hates English dubs praised it.

Yeah in the US the T&B stuff has been non-exclusive.

Sailor Mars, December Release for 4200 yen:

She's looking quite gorgeous(realizes she's a high school aged girl, and hangs his head).

Now if only they would pump out some Kyatto Ninden Teyandee figuarts, my nineties wish list would grow smaller and smaller.

Me: (Realizes she's a high school girl, raises head, remmbers she is an anime character, hangs his head)

So I thought I no longer had the Ultimate Fighter Freeza Bandai released back in like 2007, but I guess I was wrong. My g/f found him today. As such, I took some shots of him with the FIguarts Freeza.

Looks like Sailor Moon has her own Tamashi stand…that's a nice unexpected bonus!

I'm so jealous of everyone with this right now. I didn't realize she had a metallic sheen.

Wow, Bandai nailed it on landing- Sailor Moon looks perfect. I wasn't sure how much the quality would differ from the proto, as some of the Z stuff drops a notch. Sailor Moon is a huge hit though, everything looks right and the stand is an awesome touch. I hope that also means each subsequent Sailor Moon figure will come with a stand too.

I can't find any stores that has Sailor Moon In stock. She was released yesterday, but all the stores still listed as "Preorder" or "Order Stop."

How good is Figuarts Frieza?

Hacchaka has kept the Sailor Moon love flowing for us poor saps who neglected to pre-order or otherwise waiting for parcels.

While the Tamashii Stand looks good, a Stand isn't enough for me to risk eviction by missing rent to buy Sailor Moon. I can be patient, I can wait, and pick them all up at once for a discount later.

Maybe.

Isn't the stand coming with Bluefin's release?

Got Takuto Tsunashi from Star Driver today and I can see why I've kinda avoided anime Figuarts now. I imagine the newer ones are probably better, but this guy is a floppy mess than can barely stand up. Just as well there was a stand included with him.

I like it and glad I finally own him, but more because its one of the few poseable toys from one of my favourite series rather than it being a good toy.

Tamashii Nations Exclusive. Gotta say it looks pretty great in black.

Iron man can be class a toku as in japan toku includes super hero like iron man

I'm well aware what the definition of tokusatsu is thank you.

This has come up NUMEROUS times already, we're putting Iron Man under "non-toku" simply because it is a Western comic property, while "toku" when it comes to this website generally concerns heroes from or adapted from Japan.

Isn't toku defined by special effects made in Japan? And don't most of the Japanese shows outsource their special effects? So is nothing toku? Haha.

Toku is defined as Special Effects, nothing about where it is made

So then everything is toku? Wow, I guess the fan version of 'toku is defined by Japanese superhero shows' really does work a lot better.

Hmmm. Looks nice, kind of an odd choice for color scheme though. The Marvel Now armor colors over the Mark 6? I'd have to see what it looked like in hand before I could bite.

And on the what's defined as toku subject, Iron Man and other western comic based super heroes of the like will stay in general discussion. Tokusatsu literally refers to the way special effects are handled classicly in Japanese media but more broadly it encompasses Super/Henshin Hero Live Action shows, no animation or anything like that. Basically if it was made somewhere in Asia using live action heroes or was adapted for broadcast from those regions to be shown elsewhere, or is an emulation of those programs (like Mystic Knights Knights, Tatooed Aliens) then it classifies as Tokusatsu.

That's what I'm thinking. There'll be plenty of time between it coming out as an event exclusive and then reappearing on the web shop, so I'll certainly be checking out reviews.

Since I'm going Figma for a standard Iron Man (for Avengers sakes), this definitely appeals to me more as a sample of the Figuart mould.

So much better.

Got this from Amazon today: http://imageshack.com/a/img824/4552/b3yt.jpg

Better figure than I expected, definitely in for the others, I actually like their designs much more.

Mine arrived yesterday, and I can say that while I was definitely over the moon (ya I went there) before, when I got her in hand I was even more impressed. Bandai really out did themselves with Sailor Moon. She's undoubtedly one of their finest and most accurate representations of an anime character yet. The subtleties really make the figure stand out, like the pearlescent paint and the slight transparency on the end of her hair pieces. There are some really cool things going on, and your picture captures it all very nicely bluesparrow.

Lunatic for $20 before shipping... should I go for it? I don't even have Barnaby yet but Lunatic is definitely one I said I wanted.

I like my Lunatic. I say go for it.

Lunatic is pretty cool. I'm not a big fan of how his cloak was handled, but the rest of the figure is awesome.

Well, I've got Lunatic on hold for me at least. The guy selling him hasn't heard anything from the other person who wanted Barnaby, so depending on how that goes, I could even end up with him for $20. ^_^ Didn't expect to be buying even more Figuarts right now beyond a few preorders, but I think I'm okay with that.

Injustice Batman:

The prototype is gonna be at NYCC.

Really? Injustice Batman? :\
Damn. I thought Batman's Injustice design was one of the worst Batman costumes...

All the Injustice designs are pretty awful. I have faith in Tamashii/Bluefin to create good figures. But man that's a bad game :(

It looks more like Arkham Origins Batman in the reflection though.

It doesn't matter though, as outside of Flash, I'm probably not going to go for anymore non-PreN52 DC figures.

my biggest worry is about Batman is the cape.

Eternal and Leulouch can be quite heavy what with their plastic capes and all.

Indeed, the reflection doesn't really look like Injustice bats.

The only Injustice design I liked was Ares...
There's no doubt that the figure will be good, but I just wish they picked a better looking suit. :\
I liked Injustice as a game, though. It got to be tolerable once they DLC'd classic costumes in.

Trust me. They'll fuck up the cape here like they did for everyone else. I still can't stand Omegamon's cape.

Yeah, I'm not feeling the Injustice designs at all. I much prefer SQEX armored DC heroes, so I see no point in picking these up. If Superman turns out really nice despite the design I might pick him up, but I've got DC covered.

I don't know, Tamashii isn't really picking up any new licenses that interest me. DC pass. Aliens vs Predator pass. It seems like the other lines I liked are slowing down or dead, leaving me with just Gundam, Sailor Moon, and DBZ. I was really hoping they would pick up some more interesting properties, but they seem to be doing the same things everyone else is right now.
