Hmm... Depending on price, don't want to miss this one like I did the last.

Yess!! I need more Iron Man Figuarts in my life!

So, wait, Gaim is happening?

MINE!

ALLL MIIIIIIINE!

I mean, all the Mark 42s are mine. You guys can keep the rest of that crap, I don't need it. Except Gaim and Hibiki, I guess.

But Mark 42! I've been wanting one ever since I got Mark VI and War Machine. Hopefully we can get Iron Patriot to, or Mark III, so I can have a Figuarts from each IM movie. And though the VI is my favorite, I'd buy a Mark VII Figuarts, and whatever he wears in Avengers 2.

Come on Bandai, you don't hate my money, do you?

Edit: I just remembered I'm getting the Figma Mark VII, so I don't need one from Figuarts. But I'd buy a couple of the only-briefly-seen suits in IM3.

Preorder came and went already man

But I thought... *double checks image*

Nevermind, thought this had something to do with Bluefin.

*sigh* Back to the Refrigerator Box of Perpetual Disappointment...

Don't know if anyone noticed this but, Shishioh's review on Normal Goku is online.

http://shishioh-image.sakura.ne.jp/i...OKOU/bnr-5.jpg

yeah I'm all over this.

I skipped the Super Sayain version in hopes of a black hair version and I'm glad I waited. Kind of a bummer that he is just the old Goku though because those elbows man…

They look super odd in any pose where he's just standing still.

Does he come with that wing? If so, then that's really cool!

He doesn't, like any of his reviews, Shishioh uses extra items & effect parts when he does :p.

Bluefin mention possible Terminator figuarts. I think next year will be good to release them with the 5th movie coming out next summer. I can get rid of my old T-800 figure from NECA in the near future.

Oh! I want to buy an Arnold and the Anti Piracy guys, so I can have Governor of California Arnold. :lol

I also got SHF Cure Blossom today! :D

Daichi ni saku ichirin no hana!

I managed to get her standing up on her own (In a terrible pose).

She comes with a hand for spinning the Blossom Tact (It actually spins).

Or you can just use it for slappin' fools.

She does come with her Perfume, but it's SOOOOO tiny!

She has a ball joint in her head, which was a nice surprise.

How's the QC on yours? I love the sculpt for Blossom but the two major issues I have with the mold are the fact that the faces are really hard/terrifying to swap and my Blossom's wrist joints like to come apart when swapping hands.

I also don't like how the ponytail piece is a solid hunk of plastic that weighs just as much as the figure itself, but when it comes to Precure balance issues'll plague most of them regardless.

That is quite possibly the best face I've ever seen on a figure of any kind ever. :lol

QC on mine is pretty good. The faces are terrifying to pull out. Why in the world did Bandai put those on mushroom pegs? Other than that, she's perfectly fine.

and I totally agree with you on the ponytail. Figma Labrys being the only other figure I have with a large ponytail, pulled it off much better by being made out of a much lighter material, and I know Bandai has the ability to make large things out of light materials (See: SRC GaoGaiGar's Diviging Driver). So, I question why Blossom's ponytail is so heavy.

Seriously. :lol

Huh... Somebody actually came up with a use for that face. I could never think of anything and thought it a waste... even if it is a somewhat common one for her.

Hmm... Do I want to pay an extra $10 to EMS my Omegamon...

A point was brought up about TWE reissues in the MonsterArts thread that has me thoroughly confused.

Since when was he TWE? He just got a JP reissue last year. And based on AmiAmi's listing, they're participating in the upcoming re-issue as well.

You missed my "Figuarts Zero" edit for the sake of clarity, since I briefly forgot three different SS1 Goku were floating around out there. And like most DBZ releases of late, that was a Japanese exclusive but a North American retail release.

Huh...

Nobita (and the Robot Spirits Doraemon) are also getting a Bluefin release, which is neat for those who missed them both.

Ooooooh. Gotcha. Now it makes sense. There's enough demand for a reissue? Interesting.

Now, if they could just reissue the SSJ3 Goku, then I'd be set. Though, I'd like for them to wait until they release Super/Kid Buu before they do that. If they're planning on it. I'd be all over those. And Goten/Trunks/Gotenks.

I don't know if I need Doraemon or not.

I'd like to see the DBZ Figuarts reissued if only because it'd make getting them here in the UK easier. We've only started getting Tamashii Nations products with the Sailor Scouts and the forthcoming Goku and Piccolo reissues. Hopefully any newer DBZ figures will follow suit.

Bluefin is holding a poll for which Naruto character we'd like to see next.

All of them are characters that should get made, but you just can't have a Naruto without a Sasuke. And Kakashi would be perfect too. But of course Rock Lee is destroying the competition because he's silly amounts of popular.

I just want Sakura.

Or Hinata, but she's not an option.

What are the chances of Bandai being interested in making Star Wars SHF? If Bandai do want to make Star Wars SHF, what are the chances of it getting the rights to release them.

I've seen some of the black series releases and they look quite good but if it were to be made as a SHF it would be amazing. Vader and some Stormtroopers would make some display.

Star Wars as Figuarts would possibly suffer from the same issue Iron Man did, in that Bandai intended to get an international release at first but ultimately realized they couldn't release them anywhere but Japan thanks to the existing license agreements between Marvel and Hasbro. A major international license like Star Wars only makes sense to do if Bandai is able to market the figures to their Asian and Western markets, and that's probably not possible at the moment.

I'm not a huge Naruto fan so I don't really care what character comes next but I definitely can't wait for the next Iron Man and Megaman figures to come out.

I noticed that places still have the D-arts Omegamon in-stock and I am so tempted to get him. Also the upcoming Imperialdramon is also so tempting. They were, to me, the coolest Digimon back when I was still into them but I don't know if I want to spend extra money to get them or not....hmm...

Isn't Mafex releasing Star Wars stuff though? It'll be interesting how those go over.

Wow, I didn't know that. Wow, that'd be sweet. I'd love to see what they do. Plus, having figures in scale with Figuarts would be excellent! Then, think of the vehicles......gah...........:thumb:

You know the Omegamon renewal is coming, right? Might be why you're seeing stock out there like that, like first run Sailor Moons. Just letting you know.

Btw, I liked Omnimon too. Wargreymon was my fave, then Omni, Imperial, and Gallantmon CM.

The Omegamon rerelease (not renewal) actually released last month, hence why there's still stock. ;)

I already got mine in and it's absolutely glorious. My favorite bipedal D-Arts by far.

Oh, I was aware of a rerelease, I guess I was just surprised that he was still available since he's probably pretty popular if he needed a rerelease in the first place. Haha. A bit bummed that I missed out on all releases of Wargreymon though.

Bluefin said on their twitter that a few American video game franchises are in works for Figuarts. I guess Injustice is getting made into figuarts, Mortal Kombat won't be that far off. I will buy Reptile on day one if that happens.

Sub-Zero and Kitana. SUB-ZERO AND KITANA!

Also, can I get a link to that tweet?

Mortal Kombat? Eh...maybe I'll buy a Raiden or an Ermac, because I like their designs.

I think Assassin's Creed might be a possibility as well. Dark Souls or Elder Scrolls would be cool to see.

Mass Effect. I want a Commander Shepard that looks like Commander Shepard, not a friggin zombie.

Mortal Kombat? Eh, nah...If this was 5 years ago, I might say something like Scorpion, Ermac, or Cyrax, but now, I'm just not feeling it.

I was going to say Mass Effect, but it got Play Arts, so I don't know if it'd happen. I'd like it to, but I'm just not sure what the possibility is.

I don't care. Those things were hideous, and the shelf demands Garrus.

The shelf must be appeased.

Er, other than that, how awesome would TF2 Figuarts be?

I know, I'd like a Garrus too...I was just being realistic.

NECA has figures that aren't too bad, but if that were to happen, hypothetically...I'm not sure how they could pull of Heavy with their jointing system. Spy and Scout I could see working no problem, though.
