S.H. Figuarts Asuraman

I really cannot believe Bandai is working on a figure this complex, but I couldn't be happier. Makes tracking down Warsman all the more important.

And they just announced it on facebook! Huzzah!

Oh cool. I'll need to get this. I'm only collecting Buu Saga figuarts. Outside of the main early fights I already have. Goku vs Frieza and Gohan vs Cell. It's pretty much certain that Bluefin brings this one over.

I was just about to post that too! Sweet!

No info from then on release date and pricing, but there's no way it'll be as bad as going through a middleman for an accessory pack lol.

I'm just waiting for kid muscle figuart. Sorry I have no attachment to serise with his dad king muscle. Even though it been on my to watch list for awhile

Wow that guy has more arms that he would put Goro from Mortal Kombat to shame :D.

I'm extremely hyped for Asuraman, I was not expecting him at all. I'm surprised the direction Bandai is taking with SHF Kinnikuman. I guess it must be doing very well. Hopefully we see Terryman before much longer.

Has anybody here gotten any of the Kinnikuman SHFs? If so, how are they?

I have SHF Kinnikuman and he's pretty good. Some people may be turn off that he is bare bones but I think the articulation on him is worth it. The articulation on him is solid in my opinion and he can make some amazing poses with him. Despite not being released by Bluefin, you should still find him cheap on sites like NY and AmiAmi the last time I check.

That is awesome. I always loved Asuraman's design and the fact that Bandai's starting to get more complex is just the sweet, sweet icing on the cake.

Here's hoping we'll get more Kinikuman SH Figuarts down the road.

Not able to link the image right now but Maul is out in September, 5940 yen.

Cool. Retail release or web exclusive?

Retail.

Nice! Bring on the pre-orders.

September, eh? Same month as Thor, so not too bad of a month for me yet.

...Oh, and Tridoron. Yeahhh glad I'm not getting that heh.

It would be nice but I don't see it happening. Tamashii likes to produced DBZ figuarts cheap as possible knowing that they can always reuse molds for their figures. With Goku's body, they can reuse it for possible figuarts like Future Gohan, Super Sayian God Goku and maybe Bardock. If they ever do another figuart of Future Trunks then they can reuse Vegeta's old body for Cell saga Future Trunks since they both wear the same armor.

So Vader's arriving to some. Hopefully I'll awake with a shipping invoice for my April order from AmiAmi tomorrow.

With it, of course, is the first run bonus. And good lord, look at the size of that box!

1) Love Vader's box
2) Holy shit look at the box size for the bonus

My Vader and Stormtrooper are in stock at Anime-Export, I told them to ship 'em, so I'm just waiting for the shipping invoice. :)

Sigh, guess I'll be getting a customs charge with Vader then :(

Grah. Still waiting on Vader and the Stormtroopers (and Drive) to get in at AmiAmi. Me wanties. :D

Bah. Because of Vader's bonus my order of Drive/Vader is too big for SAL small packet, so the minimum shipping cost is 3850 yen for SAL parcel :/

I might as well just pay 4600 yen and get EMS at that price.

And the official pictures for Maul are up:

Looks awesome!

Huh, no email from AmiAmi... So... checked and...

That's odd. :/ My order still has Lucina and Snake in it. They didn't get automatically split. That's probably holding them up for some reason... Don't know how to fix that.

Man, shipping just cost me $40 for my order. HOLY ****!!!!!

Where did you order? AnimeExport only charged me 1900 for SAL shipping for Vader, bonus and Stormtrooper.
(by contrast, Iron Man Mark 43 and Renewal Kuuga only cost me 1800 for EMS :/ )

Amiami. And IIRC they have a reputation for using unnecessarily big boxes so that probably didn't help matters either.

Yup, that's AmiAmi for you. They like passing the savings back to the customer when they're able to.

Soooo whom among us is gonna be crazy enough to try and replicate this with Figuarts Storm Troopers?

http://a.dilcdn.com/bl/wp-content/up...rs-resized.jpg

People with too much time and money.

BTW, can we like please get Figuarts of the Imperial Guards?

I think we will be due to the way the look are figuarts like

Yeah, I hope we get the Imperial Guards as well. I would not mind grabbing a couple of those. Not exactly on topic, but the Movie Realization IGs look sweet.

Same thing is going on for me. This actually happened to me as well back when Saber 2.0 was delayed in November, I had other items in the order and it never got split. Eventually I just had to email them about it to get the November stuff to ship. If it doesn't split in the next day or two, those of us who also have Snake and Lucina will probably need to just email them.

Anyone know when Mini Moon comes out?

Other than just "May" the exact dates for next month's stuff haven't gone up yet. Will probably happen sometime next week.

After looking back at the designs I gotta say I really want Figuarts of the Mighty No. 9 characters & bosses. That'd be awesome. Plus I can actually see them attempting at least Beck & Call since Tamashii Nations has had a recent interest in gaming & all.

Japanese toy review on SHF Vegito

He looks pretty good. I will probably pick him up.

Damn it. I've been hoping for a standard Goku with school emblems for years and he's exclusive to mexico? I mean who the hell came up with that bright idea?

I guess Tamashii is trying to sell their figures to other bigger markets outside of Japan besides the United States and Canada.
