I do have the A5000 but I also picked up the A6000 body last year which I have been using a lot more lately. I picked up the Sony 30mm F3.5 Macro lens.

I have a 6000 too but I'm using a FE 50MM 1.8 lens.

Ooh, for most of my photos I have been using an adapted Canon FD 50mm F1.8 from my parent's old film camera. Haha. It's a nice sharp lens but I found that sometimes I can't get as close to the subjects as I want because of the minimum focus distance so I wanted to see what I could do with a macro lens. I think my next step is to get some flashes and start experimenting again.

Endgame Thanos looks great and I love how you can head swap with IW Thanos. The only small issue I have on mine is that the right shoulder ball joint is a bit tight and creaky. Kind of scary to pose. I also wish his legs had a better range of articulation.

Cool, I need it. Wish I hadn't sold mine when it was originally released.

Yeah, he's a nice little figure though a little fragile feeling.

Also cool that he came with a little Groot.

Yeah, it looks great. I was stupid to sell mine. I didn't even open it before I did (I knew if I opened it I wouldn't want to sell it, but I felt I needed to be more responsible at that moment, which I have been making up for during the past year where I have been highly irresponsible).

I do have an extra I need to sell, although it's missing one of the little Groots...

All it needs now is either a figure of Pikachu, Deadpool, or Samwise Gamgee from Lord Of The Rings next to it. :lolol

Looks like a new Vader and Stormtrooper are coming.

https://tamashii.jp/special/sw/lineup_shf.html

They're both pretty awesome looking, but that Vader is freaking gorgeous.

Really? Huh.

I don't like this Vader at all. The helmet looks awful and the cloth cape and plastic robe combo looks really bad IMO.

The removable helmet gimmick (if that's what it is, could also just be a swapable head) is nice but I'd take just a good looking helmet sculpt over that any day.

For anyone that missed the original D-Arts Blastoise, following Charizard, he's finally getting reissued under the SHF name: https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/772270/

(Really following Mewtwo.)

And unlike those others, he's not just a repaint, he actually has new parts too! His feet have 3 toes on the front now instead of 2 and teeth were added to his mouth.

I kinda want him now since it looks a lot better... Those toes always bugged me with the first release.

Oh yes, you're right. lol. Forgot about Mewtwo because it hasn't released yet. lol.

I'm definitely gonna get him because I missed out on him the first time and the water line was my favourite gen 1 starter. I also didn't notice those differences but I'm glad to know there are actually improvements!

It actually looks like he'll come with an alternate looking to the side head too!

I didn't notice the different eyes, that's awesome. Definitely worth it if you don't have the original and I've decided for sure, for myself at least, it is even if you do lol.

Next Avengers Endgame figure revealed and it's Hulk! But he is a Web Exclusive.

IW Scarlet Witch and Stealth Suit Spidey have been announced and they are both Web Exclusives releasing in Jan 2020.

Scarlet Witch is 6600 yen: https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000135485/

Stealth Suit Spider Man is 7150 yen: https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000135495/

Scarlet Witch looks pretty good though the face looks a little off and she does come with some effect parts. Stealth Suit Spidey looks a lot more detailed than I initially expected. I think I'll end up picking both of them up.

Jiren is going up for pre-order soon but looks like he's gonna be a Web Exclusive. January 2020 release with a price of 6050 yen.

next MCU SHF revealed and it's Black Panther with purple highlights and an additional unmasked head. Web Exclusive with Feb 2020 release, 6600 yen. I don't really think I need another Black Panther but this one is a little tempting. The purple accents and unmasked head are different enough for me to consider.

My latest non-Toku SHF is Android 21, which has proven itself to be very divisive amongst fans, I've noticed. And yeah, it's got a handful of flaws, but I don't think they're big enough to say the figure is bad, just could've been done better. Honestly I just wish the blue eyes had atleast 1 more facial expression and that her hair was hollow plastic, like figure-rise did for SS3 Goku.

Really hoping we get both her human form and an "evil form" repaint of her in the future. I really liked her character in FighterZ and I wouldn't mind having more.

oh nice! I need it. I don't have the previous Black Panther anyway, so this would be an entirely new figure to me.

My IW Cap finally has shields! After increasing the thickness a bit to retain the details on the surface of the shield I've settled on the final version. It's a little on the thicker side considering the scale but I'm fine with it. Haha.

Not a lot of activity in this thread lately but some good news, MCU Avengers Loki is finally announced for release! It is a Web-Exclusive though with a release date of September 2020 for 8800 yen.

Wow, it looks fantastic, I NEEEEED it!

Following Loki, Avengers 1 Cap also announced! Also a Web Exclusive I believe with same price and release month as Loki. September 2020 release for 8800 yen.

Since I already have the Figma version I'm not sure I need this one. It does look pretty nice though especially with the unmasked head and the folded down hood. The bouncing shield effect is also cool.

Oh those jerks. Watch, next they're going to finally do a The First Avenger version and I'll be doubly screwed.

I need it.

I did a bad thing. I bought a local OEM Iron Man. I need an Iron Man so bad and thabks to the pandemic my Mk 85 won't be arriving until October.

With them reissuing the core 5 Sailor Scout figures, I really hope they also reissue Tuxedo Mask. It's one I always wanted but haven't had the chance to get.

Just noticed they added some more Web Exclusive MCU figures for November 2020 release:



First is the "I am Iron Man" version of the Mark 85, 8800 yen:

Next seems like a repaint of the Mark 7, an "Avengers Assemble" edition, 7700 yen:

https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000146873

And then an Endgame version of Scarlet Witch, 8800 yen. Looks like she is the same as the IW version but with a new face plate with red eyes

https://i.imgur.com/6qvBdcx.jpg

That Mark 7 repaint is really tempting, but I already nabbed an order of their Mark 3 repaint, so I'm good on Iron Man figures, haha.

Goddammit no wonder I can't find this thread on the Toys & Collectibles section lol. Been wanting to talk about Marvel Figuarts.

Yeah, that section is for toku-related stuff only. lol.

Is it bad that I want the Dragon Ball stands far more than any of the new figures they announced?

...And Bardock, because Bardock rules.

Should I get Mk 3 or 7? Mk 3 is better for that authentic Iron Man look but Mk 7 has better engineering.

It depends on which suit you like better. Both are probably the best Iron Man SHFs to date.

I feel like if, IF I had to choose, I would go with MkIII just because that's The Iron Man suit, the one that started it all.

MK III I guess as well since like Talisman said, it was THE definitive suit of the first Iron Man movie. Now if you prefer the Avengers movie as the more iconic moment of the MCU regarding Iron Man, probably MK VII but personally MK III.

Yeah I'm gonna go with Mk 3. Preferably I prefer Mk 4 & 6 for that classic Iron Man look, but Mk 3 would go nice alongside Mk.85
