So... Figuarts based on the 2019 Ne Zha movie are a thing now. I really did not see that coming.

I'm not much of a sucker for Chinese folklore but the sculpts of these translated perfectly from the on-screen models. Makes me wonder what Tamashii could deliver if they made some Disney Pixar stuff.

That and a Hulk or Thanos-sized Shrek. :lolol
Seriously though, now that I say it I want a figuarts Shrek, Po, Woody, Buzz, The Incredibles, etc.

So I was just checking out SHF's Acrylic Logo page to see if they'd made any more since Ultraseven. And... and they sure have! ... of Dorohedoro!

Final battle Thanos and Thor going up for pre-order tonight and both release in December 2020.
Was considering picking up the new Thanos but that price is telling me no. lol. Might just pick up one of those custom arms and blade sets instead.

Thanos, 15400 yen:

S.H. Figuarts Omegamon Special Color Version, February 2021 release.

Very conflicted on this one. I bought the original when it was released (which by the time this new one is out will be 5 years ago - Jesus Christ) and I like it, but I do feel a bit cheated because this one has a proper white cape which appears to be wired.

If you're not familiar with the original release, it was one of the very first Figuarts to have a cloth cape. Without wires though, it instead included plastic rods you could clamp under the cape and "articulate" it that way. Which does the job. Very fiddly and weird, but it works.

But what screwed up the original release was although advertised with a proper white outside and red inside cape - every single figure produced had a miscolored pink cape. They even went so far as to photoshop the stock images after the fact to reflect this. I was pissed at the time. Probably one of the biggest fuckups I’ve seen coming from Tamashii.

So... will I buy this? Eh... I want to? But I know I don’t need it? I'm kind of over the pink cape at this point. And space becomes more of an issue the more I collect so... nah. Plus, not sure I dig the metallic paint job as much as the flat animation colors of the original.

But this figure is indeed excellent, and now it finally appears in the form it should’ve had in the first place. If you haven’t gotten a Figuarts Omegamon yet I highly recommend this one. I hope it has all the accessories of the original as well, the translucent tiny figurines of Taichi and Yamato you could have sitting on Omegamon’s shoulders are adorable.

This deco would have definitely matched better with the D-arts Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon (or the SHF reissue) but I don't think I'm interested in rebuying this figure. It's a good figure but due to the lanky-ness of the design, the figure feels a bit more fragile to handle than the typical SHF figures. Nice for those that missed out on the first release though.

I have heard a lot of great things about the Digimon Figure-Rise Standard (Amplified) line.

Maybe that would be a better buy? They've already done an Omegamon and the cape is very red!

I've only built the original release of the Omegamon kit which the Figure-rise version improved on with some slight design changes and better colour separation. It's a pretty nice kit but you won't get the same painted finish out of the box compared to the D-arts and SHFs. But that is sort of expected when comparing model kits to figures. The other thing is that the Figure-rise kits are more of a mecha-esque redesign compared to the more anime accurate figure. Depends what people are looking for.

Not sure if people are still interested in MCU stuff but more new stuff has been revealed: 新作映画『ブラック・ウィドウ』のスノースーツ、『アベンジャーズ／エンドゲーム』アイアンパトリオットが「S.H.Figuarts」から参考出品！【魂ネイション2020速報レポート】ワールドキャラクター編

They're also showing prototypes of SHFs of the upcoming Back-Arrow anime. The cowgirl looks nice but their mechs look even better.
