because of the hood and cape, the neck is too long, also by proportion, the head is too big that it kinda look ridiculous when you see it up close, ofc that's just me perhaps.

Can't Bandai get the Chris Evans likeness in this sculpt?? I'm starting to think that the black widow face we see before on tamashii event is going to be the final sculpt

All depends on how much money spent to get the likeness cause remember it coast company's money to be allowed to use the actor likeness.

Yeah, from the trailer it seemed like Cap's suit is the same as the AoU one but with slightly different colours here and there. Less white and red and more blue this time I think. If it includes the Unmasked head, I might get it. Was actually planning on skipping it since the suit looks so similar. Will have to wait to see more images before I decide.

Bah, typical Bandai to include an unmasked head this time around. Oh well, still not enough to make me double dip.

The unmasked head looks good enough IMO. Definitely not really hitting the likeness but better than anything else that isn’t Hot Toys or Sideshow.

Not interested though, don’t want Cap or Iron Man or any of the familiar Avengers. Gimme Ant Man and Black Panther!

Still haven't gotten any of the Avengers Figuarts yet, so this new Cap is perfect for me so far. Wanted to swap out the Figma for the AoE one, but missed the boat and didn't wanna drop the ridiculous cash some places asked for.

If you don't want to get s new figure for the head, a guy named KAI studio makes an unmasked head for SHF cap but it runs around $50 ...

Yea it be cheaper to get new figure

Well, crap. Assuming I can actually grab this one I'm almost glad I missed the AoU version.

Upon close inspection with the image of the unmasked Cap and the AoU one, I think it's actually a little more than just a repaint. There are slightly design changes in the suit here and there. Might end up getting it in the end now.

I think I will get his version of Captain America too also since I didn't get any of the AOU figuarts expect for Iron Man. At least the face is not as bad as looking as Thor. The pictures of SHF Thor made me wonder on what the hell happen. It looked so bad.

AmiAmi pre-order pages:

Civil War Captain America
Trunks
Mace Windu
Brocken Jr.

I'd love to have a figuart of the 2015 Ant-Man design. Has Marvel officially revealed the Civil War version yet?

Some things a hypothetical Ant-Man could (read: should ) come with: Blue/Red discs, Antony, mini Ant-Man, vials of Pym particles. Maybe the keychain too? (Great, now I'm ecited for a figure that might never even happen. :lol )


Also, what does everyone think of the First Order Stormtrooper? I'm interested, but I'm not sure if I really want one.

Look, it's Will Simpson! :lol

Best Star Wars trooper by far that they've done.

Also Tamashii Nation's Civil War page has been updated with some teasers for Bleeding Edge Iron Man and at the bottom is a graphic with all of the heroes in Civil War with the text "and more..." over them.

Thanks for the reply. :thumb:

I'm excited about the possibility of Ant-Man, but I've seen the art of the new design and I don't think I like it as much as the first version. I look forward to seeing what other figuarts we get.

Wow...

So I'm going through checkout with relative ease (pages are still slow tonight though) and I get to the very end and right before final confirmation... And suddenly there are two Maces in my cart?? Well shit, didn't want that! And I swear there was only one when I started.

Had to restart. Luckily I got through again with everything staying in there. Master Windu is mine.

After a brief struggle, got my pre-orders in for SHF Trunks and Civil War Cap. Was almost disappointed when Trunks was closed but it reopened again 10 minutes later. Now I can sleep tight. Lol.

Cap secured right at 11. Wasn't too hard

Looks like Tamashii is really going at it this time, this is on their website:

Now, that doesn’t mean we’ll get all of them but… they’re at it.

Black Panther figuarts? Yeees.

That's the one I look forward to as well, and I think the chances are good that we'll get him.

Might get the Cap, seeing as I'm not going to be able to afford the current AoU Cap. Holding out hope for either a deep discount on AoU Cap, or local release on this new CW Cap.

This figure reminded me how terrible the black series version is

I really hope we get that AoU Black Widow and Hawkeye first. Having at least one completed Avengers team set before moving onto the the Civil War stuff would be nice.

So now that Lucasfilm has confirmed TR-8R's true identity, everyone needs to get a pre-order in for S.H. Figuarts FN-2199 Nines :D

http://www.tokunation.com/attachment...1&d=1452262965

I did.

...

For the Mafex version which costs a lot less and comes with a blaster and a pistol :p

I honestly kind of want to now. :lol I didn't want to get into the variants because I knew they'd be exclusive (scout and the riot confirming this) and didn't want to pay the markup...

But damnit he's an actual character so a part of me wants to ugh.

Oh please. He's an afterthought because they cut Phasma out of the scene, the internet went ham on this guy and now Disney has dollar signs in their eyes.

One line and a made up story after people showed interest hardly justify him as a character... especially since he's dead now. Or maybe they have him survive and have him return once again.

Either way, I'm not paying that much money for a variant just because he's on the frontpage of Imgur 24/7.

I don't give a shit about the TR-8R meme going around. He's also been in a book. He is a character. May not be enough for you, but to others that enough to start garnering interest. You don't have to be a jackass about it because you don't like it.

And is likely to be made terribly as with most all Mafex. Have fun.

You're also completely wrong there. Phasma was cut from nothing. There's nothing made up, do a little research before you act like you know whats up. 2199 is in Before the Awakening and was already speculated to be "TR-8R". Lucasfilm confirmed the HEAVY speculation that existed already. The expansion of that character was always going to be there. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean he isn't a real character. Sure there's a meme, but I genuinely love that scene.

I preordered him a few days ago once I could scrabble the funds together (especially since if my timing is right his preorder window will be closing very soon). Even before the memes and official backstory started hitting it was one of my favourite parts of the film. After hearing such high praise for the retail version its safe to say I can't wait to get him in May.

Same here. The standard FO Trooper is perfection. I'd buy basically any re-release of it, like the Heavy Gunner prototype we saw at Tamashii Nations. But the Riot/Nines trooper was a must after seeing the movie. It's good to see a star wars where troopers are competent for once.

:lol

Great show guys. I admit I'm wrong (apparently?) but I will not go through this shit again.

I'm usually overly critical of most toys I buy, but I really do think the FO stormtrooper is one of the few near perfect figures I've bought recently. No one else has an waist joint with this much range and I totally regret not ordering 3.

But seriously, sorry guys, needed some time to cool down. I’m still incredible salty about the lack Phasma and it seemed logical to my rage self that they did cut her out so they can show her off in the other movies. If that figure is a character for you or you liked the scene enough, more power to you, be happy with that figure. But I don’t really care.

And I didn’t knew he appeared in the books or anywhere else, I didn’t read any of that.

Anyways, back on topic: I hope they add more caracters from TFA to their lineup, a Rey figure would be really awesome.

Reading your praise for it make sme regret not orderign a single one :lol

Oh it's definitely one of the best figuarts to date. What they did with the hip joints and the angled utility belt is just genius. That mold is perfection. Give me a Shadow repaint bandai!

It's cool, no harm done. FN-2199 had his backstory fleshed out in the Before the Awakening Novel, a collection of tales that predate episode 7, but grow it's world a bit. He's one of Finn's squad mates along with Slips & Zero. Slips is the trooper who smears blood on Finn's helmet at the films start. Nines feels betrayed that Finn, who for all intents & purposes was their team leader, turned his back on all of them.

Finn possibly recognizing Nines may be why he couldn't quite take him down in the film. But it still begs the question why he didn't react more to Nines' death after that. But yeah the novel helps explore their dynamic and set up that eventual confrontation at Maz's castle.

I think I really need to check that novel out, maybe before I watch the movie again on home media so I can see the little things hinted in the movie but explained in the book even better.

Thanks for explaining that for me!

I curse whatever reasoning I had for not preordering the FO troopers when I had the chance. What the hell was going on with me then...

GoggleV, your photos are making me want a Stormtrooper. lol. Looks like the SHF is sold-out at most places. Maybe I'll go for the Mafex version.
