A figuart line based around Go Nagai is always perfect for me. He is one of my favorite manga artist and writers. Too bad he is still rather obscure outside of Japan since most Western anime and manga fans have no idea who he is.

I still welcome other Showa anime and manga heroes into the SHF line as other people mention like the original 009, Astro Boy and Speed Racer. I would love to have a Figuart of Captain Harlock, Kenshiro and Black Jack. A figuart of Lupin with the green jacket would be great too.

Oh sweet, War Machine does have the truncheon!

Yup, definitely going to be ordering him to go with Iron Man.

Also looks like the new Premium Colour Cell and Battle Damaged Gohan are going to both be web exclusives. I understand Cell being one since the other Premium Colour ones were as well but Gohan is an entirely new figure, wonder why they made him exclusive as well.

Oh hey imagine that... The next Star Wars release is an unmasked Kylo with melted Vader head.

Not just him! A whole slew of Star Wars Figuarts are being made, including original trilogy Han and characters from Rogue One!

http://www.bandai.co.jp/sp/character...e/sw_item.html

Oh WOW! Only knew of Kylo thanks to an MFC entry being made for him (which I do think is cool it's being done, just didn't excite me). Surprised the rest didn't get added yet haha.

Yeah I'm going to be all over that Han.

Not one for Trooper variants but seeing them done so quickly is really cool. Might change my tune after Rogue One (though will probably get a Death Trooper regardless) and seeing them in action. Same with K-2SO.

Han needs a charred Greedo Corpse as an accessory...first run pre order bonus maybe? :lol

Well that Han figure makes today slightly less horrible.
Now gimme a Chewie, I need my favorite furball.

I'ma be all over those troopers.

Don't know how I missed there's going to be Monster Hunter Figuarts. Always found the designs from those games neat.

But yeah, Tamashii drop tonight. Little disappointed none of the (coming very soon) Star Wars reveals are going up already lol, because now there's nothing interesting me. Might be saved for Force Friday again this year though.

Devilman and Bruce Lee as well for those interested.

While MH Figarts are appealing, I kind of want MH Monster Arts :lol

And here I was thinking they would do nothing for Rogue One :lol

I'll take a Death Trooper to go please.

Was just about to consider trading up my original Kylo Ren because I liked the option of having an Adam Driver head, but then I noticed

a) He's exclusive
b) There's no hood part
c) While he may come with the mask it doesn't look to be an actual alternate head.

Sneaky variant marketing for completists Bandai, but looks like I'll stick with the one I have thank you.

I am going to need that K-2SO figuart, as long as I love the character in Rogue One.

Yeah seriously... Of anyone didn't already have Kylo and wanted him, they're pribably better off getting the Mafex since that's a complete package on its own at least.

When does Han go on sale on AmiAmi?

And I could go for some Monster High MonsterArts, although, that would require Bandai to get a license from Mattel and they would require them to do somthing that isn't Godzilla.

I pre-order Devilman TV 1972 last night. Pre-Order went through nice and easy.

Why on earth would Bandai even consider Monster High as a viable product?

I think it's still pretty popular.
I'm personally holding out for Equestria Girls, though~

What's popularity got to do with it? It doesn't fit Bandai Tamashii Nations realm of products or general demographic at all.

Are we still teasing or taking this seriously? :lol

Look all I know is that if I don't get a SHF Seihou Barbie then I am never buying Figuarts again.

I'm thinking he mistook "MH" as Monster High and not Monster Hunter when the latter is what we were talking about...?

Oh...my inability to detect sarcasm online strikes again :o :lol

She has enough figures! I need SHF Toy Story Ken!

More than likely it was just a typo. Monster High are just girls based on popular horror and mythology, so Monster High Monster Arts would be pointless. It's clear he meant Monster Hunter, but just had a brain fart or something :lol

We all make those mistakes from time to time~

I dunno, if it was simply a brain fart then why bring up the whole thing about getting the license from Mattel?

Huh. Forgot about that part. I don't know, then. Maybe he was actually talking about Monster High :lol

Meanwhile here I am hoping for a Princess Peach*and a Daisy headswap/color variant*

Rock Lee just got listed for pre-order on BBTS.

Totally missed him getting solicited at all for the Japanese release so that came as a bit of a surprise.

And by the looks of it he comes with literally everything you'd want Lee to have, which is great considering the lack of accessories in the other Naruto figures. Three different faces, and a new head, hands, and feet for him using the eight gates. Pretty solid release.

FiguartsZERO EX SSj4 Goku. For a second, I thought the FIguartsZERO EX line was dead (I remember they only had SSj3 Goku release a year ago):

https://www.facebook.com/Tamashii.US...78867162132446

Still hoping the SHF we saw like 2 years ago will come out someday. Although they could use one of the newer bodies now.

Shishioh's got a gallery for Black Widow already:

http://shishioh.info/SHF_BLACK_WIDOW.php

I think she looks pretty good. Can't wait to get her.

So Bandai's put up images of SHF Han Solo, Death Trooper, and an unmasked Kylo Ren

Great! Now people can own an accurate figure of Adam Driver's ugly mug.

I think the head looks kinda derpy myself, at least when compared to the MAEFEX Kylo Ren

Heh...

Are we going to have another "Gord Drive" so soon? :lol

Anywho, pre-orders on the 30th. Glad it's the weekend so I'll probably be up anyway lol.

Gord Drive?

The SHF of Gold Drive is spelled "Gord Drive" on the packaging, and Han Solo is spelled "Han Soro" on the website ;)

Oh I thought he might've been referring to a "certain someone".

Anyone know what time Han goes on sale tonight? Amiami still doesn't have him listed.
