Huh, D-Arts still getting reissused?

I will now see this as hope for classic Mega Man and Rush.

I only want Megs & Rush again if they fix the stupidly easy to break legs and elbows. i went through 2 of them before I gave up. A pair of hips that sheared off at the pin joint and elbows that were frozen completely in place to the point they snapped.

Very, very good point. The hip issue was definitely widespread from what I remember.

So... yeah, that happens and then I'll take them.

The only Megaman figure that I want to see reissue is the original Megaman. That's the Megaman that I grew up with and played the most as a kid. I never got into the other series.

X has by far become the one most often associated with the franchise it seems. Honestly it's the one that's most memorable to me as well. I always found the classic games rather boring compared to the fast paced X series. But the Figuart/D-Art isn't that great. I'm tempted to toss in money for that Kickstarter X figure that Truforce is producing.

As much as I'd love a Hime, I'd really like to see them release all the Dokidoki characters first. I'd hate to see this turn into the a Sentai Figuarts situation where we're stuck with incomplete teams.

Cure Diamond seems to have been really popular too, so you'd think they'd be hurrying with the rest of them, even if that was likely just because of how popular Rikka was.

This, in a nutshell. The whole X line needs a renewed approach. If only to bring it's quality up. I own all of the releases as a die-hard X fan, but until SHF Megaman Zero everything was not quite there. Truforce is interesting, but the paint on the final product has to be just right or it's pointless to me. At that point D-arts would remain good enough. They have my attention.

I'd take a Megaman/Rush reissue, but damn Charizard is the one that really needs it right now :/

I need Alphamon to get reissued.
"But he hasn't been released yet."
EXACTLY! I need him to flood the market immediately so his price will be lowered early to something I can afford...

Ah, that is unfortunate to hear so I guess I won't feel too bad skipping out on him then.

On the topic of Megaman releases though, I really do hope they try to tackle the Exe. series. Really my favourite Megaman series ever and they would definitely have the change to milk the mold with all the different styles he comes in. One can dream.

I would actually want a Blastoise more since he's my favourite but if they ever do get a reissue, the remaining Venasaurs might suddenly disappear. Haha.

One quick Google search later...

Damn!

You are so right there.

Buh, according to N-Y, the next two Love Live releases are web exclusives.

Put in pre-orders just to be safe, seeing as I planned to get the first three anyways.

I know that I shouldn't have expected much, but early in-hand photos of Sasuke still have me incredibly disappointed..

Is he that bad of a figure? I don't care for Naruto but I hear SHF Naruto was a decent figure from what I've seen from Youtube reviews.

I haven't seen any in-hand pics of Sasuke yet. I hope he isn't bad. I'm not a real big fan of Naruto anymore but I still would like to get Sasuke down the line.

Two were posted over in the TFW thread.

Naruto was satisfying. Not perfect, but fun and pretty decent in my book.

It's Sasuke's final face and hair - especially that freaking angry face, and I really wanted to display mine with activated Sharingan... They just don't look very good. So it's really a lot in the face just turning me off.

Oh and those ankles...

Yeah, I see what you mean about the faces. He actually looks more happy than enraged.

I like the Metalgarurumon reissue announcement actually. I think I might get it from Bluefin if its around $50-60. But that might tempt me to track down Wargreymon and Omnimon as well....

Man Sasuke really does look bad :( But in all honesty I thought Naruto was a pretty bad release too. The hair on mine looked liked grated cheese just above his forehead. Very poorly sculpted.

The ankles don't look too bad to me. Maybe it's just with the way their footgear is? If anything the shoulders look a little wanky.

Huh. Wonder how long these have been listed.

Retail ZERO releases of Anna and Elsa. Buy the exclusive two-pack and you get Olaf too.

---

The shoulders do look wonky too, but so did Naruto's. And a little fiddling they might look better. But looking at his left ankle, it basically looks like anything but perfectly straight will have them looking like he's broken them something fierce.

All that bad QC on Mega Man turned me away from him sadly as I really would like that Rush he came with.

But I have the Kotobukiya poseable model kits for my Mega Man fix otherwise. Plus they made Protoman and Roll (able switch her between her looks in Mega 1-7 and Mega Man 8).

Ha, just got the same alert from Amazon for Sasuke that I did Luigi earlier in the month. He was supposed to be delivered by today... which I just realized was ridiculous anyways since he just released last week in Japan lol.

Still think it silly of Amazon to be threatening cancellation of a preorder for not clicking a button, but whatever.

So amiami has sent out update emails letting people with pre-orders know that new bonus items have been added to Sakura.

So yeah extra stuff, makes the choice between it and the Figma even harder.

I was pretty ecstatic after that email. I may still getting the Figma though.. I also want the koto stuff
.. xD

Did anyone got their SHF Master Asia yet? I think my order will be shipped from Amazon soon in another week or two.

Nice~
Have some pics alongside it:

Metalgarurumon preorder on Amazon. Don't know when he went up, but figured some might be interested here.

I do wish Metalgarurumon included some missile effect parts, rather than his Cocytus/ice breath.

Elsa and Anna up for preorder, and bleh. I mean they look good, but...but...

Look at their poses...they're in the same exact pose you see them in every single promotional image. How many pieces of merchandise do people need with Elsa holding her hand up like that? So yeah they look well made, but they NEEDED to be in different poses for me to feel that they're worthwhile purchases.

I would have been more interested in articulated versions, even if the movement was somewhat limited by their dresses. I wouldn't be surprised to see Figma versions before long, so I think Bandai have missed the boat by making these Zeroes.

I feel like the only way that they could have made the dresses work would have been with soft goods, which unfortunately Bandai is not willing to do on SHFs. Figma used cloth on Thor I believe, so I think they might do articulated versions.

If the poses were better, then I'd think these were fine, but I think that with these poses, they're a waste of everyone's time.

I don't care how but I will buy that Figuarts Zero Elsa.

So where my Precure figuarts announcements bandai?

At Wonderfest on Sunday probably.

Ah ok thanks for the info, I thought it had passed already with all these new figuarts being released and pre orders going up.

I've been worried that they're just going to show off Cure Melody and Rhythm with absolutely nothing new, but the website has just updated to say that they're revealing a new lineup along with the results of the poll from a few months back.

So do we think the majority voted for figures of characters we don't have yet or for better versions of the more popular characters that have pretty dated and hard to get figures now?

Some how some way I need a Cure Echo figuarts

You might be in luck there.

No idea which of these will actually be displayed on Sunday though, I very much doubt it'll be all of them.
