I kinda like Luke. That dorky smile is so much win.

And completely accurate.

Better than having gold hair.

No, I'm never letting that go. They ruined one of the few Star Wars Figuarts I was looking forward to.

and actually, I'll be disappointed if ANH doesn't have similarly gold hair. :/

I just actually looked at the SW page on tamashii.jp and saw that luke comes with the training remote and blast shield helmet. Awesooome!

and in comes Ant-Man!

He includes exactly what I wanted, too! :lol
Mini-Ant-Man! Gimme gimme gimme!

OMG, can't wait! Looks like Antman gets a new suit too. Will have to wait to see more photos to see how well he translates into Figuarts form.

GIVE ME IT NOW.

And Black Panther. Please reveal him Bandai

He looks awesome!

Definitely going to have to get a pre-order in for him next week.

So we got a 1:1 scale Figuart? Has this ever happened before? :lol

I'm conflicted. On one hand, I like it (and I love the mini-ant-man), but I don't know if I like the new suit that much. I really hope one day we'll also get the 2015 suit. Can't wait to see more pics, though.

Yus! The unofficial Kamen Rider Ari is finally here! :lol

I wasn’t sure if I liked the Civil War-version of the suit either, but seeing this figure I definitely do! Must-have for me, also great to see this in July, will be a late birthday present for myself.

Anyone know what this is? (From the SHF Civil War page.)

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

They mention that other DC stuff is plan at the moment which is why the Injustice line has died out after the release of Superman.

Hehe, quite observant.

I guess, technically, you could say Itasha Boy was a 1:1 scale release. :D

Anyone want to buy an articulated version of a foreign baseball team mascot for about 30-40 bucks + shipping?

http://i.imgur.com/JRS39jz.jpg

Yeah me neither.

It will probably do well in the intended domestic market. I don't imagine they're expecting that one to break records for export sales.

Really digging that Ant-Man. I normally stay clear of comic related figures (with the exception of Man-Bat), but this Ant-Man will be a must buy for me. Loving the colors.

Actually yeah, I do want it. Because I love the hell out of Japanese mascots.

A waste of a figuart there are so many better Figuarts to make then this.

They make figures to appeal to more people than our demographic. I imagine the Japanese cultural obsession with baseball might make this a profitable figure for them.

It's called "diversification of your demographic". Or something to that effect.

And it makes good business sense.

Especially since SHFs are a pretty big deal in japan.

No it's not. It's a popular Japanese mascot, this is a Japanese company.

And it's not like they throw away a finished Rider or Sentai Figuart just so that they have enough plastic to make this.

It is I was not aware that baseball is popular in Japan good point Kiwami.

Btw what other Figuarts would you want to get that's non toku. I want a Spider-Man Figuart I hope they make one if a new movie comes out.

I wonder if the new DC figuarts mention by Bluefin could be for Batman v Superman. I kinda want a Figuart of Batman's armor suit from Batman v Superman since I always like the design for it.

Yeah if they go through with it and make new DC Figuarts I think its a safe bet that they are going to be for the new movies.

Nearly the end of the month and BBTS still doesn't have Omegamon in. Wonder if any other places have gotten their Bluefin stock in.

When's Ant-Man going up fro order? March 1st?

Probably.

Cool, thanks.

Tonight's AmiAmi pre-orders:

Ran Shibuki

Ant-Man

Luke Skywalker (Episode VI)

Yesss, Ant-Man secured on the first try with AmiAmi! Can't wait!

Lucky. I can't get the checkout page to load as usual. :/ Except this time it's an actual error page telling me to try again later...

Edit: 6 minutes later and finally through. Ugh. I never seem to get fucking lucky with this when everyone else has no issues.

Ant-Man took me two minutes. But yay, adding another avenger!

It won't let me go pass step 2 for my Ant Man pre-order!
