D-Arts Discussion

Guyver Spawn · 01-02-2014, 08:57 PM

The NECA TF2 figures are good, but I want to see TF2 figures with better articulation and more accessories. Also I notice the paint on the NECA figures will chip off sometimes. On my D-Art wishlist, I want to see D-Arts of Ratchet & Clank, F-Zero, Soulcalibur, Assassin's Creed and any Valve video game franchise.

I was hoping we would get Soulcalibur II D-Arts to cash in on the HD re-release on XBLA and PSN. The figure line up could be this:

Retail Release:

Astaroth
Cassandra
Ivy
Mitsurugi
Nightmare
Raphael
Sophitia
Talim
Taki
Voldo
Yoshimitsu

Web Exclusive:

Berserker
SC2 Heihachi
Inferno
Lizardman
SC2 Link (Hoping Figma does not get in the way)
SC2 Spawn
Necrid

I'm hoping I'm not forgetting any.

Eh, I don't think Soul Calibur would work. Outside of Street Fighter, every fighting game has designs change with each new iteration, but with SC, it's like they hire all new character designers for each game. The differences between some characters going from 2 to 3 is like night and day.
This leads into the question, why would a company try to market the versions of their characters from a decade ago, when the franchise is still on-going?

And McFarlane owns his own toy company, so I don't think Spawn would be licensed out to another company.

Anywho, a D-Art I'd love to see made would have to be...Amaterasu

SC2 just got a HD re-release and it's the most popular game in the series. Cashing in on it seem like a good idea to me. Bluefin did had Spawn listed down on their poll on Facebook a while back. Who knows since Todd stop giving a shit about Spawn in the past five or six years.

For those of you still up...

Omegamon reissue.

Should be going live in an hour.

Been a while since I did this... hopefully I get him.

And got him. ^_^

Took like 30 seconds. Fastes AmiAmi checkout for me ever.

Well, I guess...I mean Konohana Sakuya has one, but the only ultimate they ever made was Izanagi-No-Okami. If we were to get an ultimate I'd much rather have Messiah from 3, and-nah I'm just busting your chops. I know who you mean.

I want Mario and Sonic, though I think a figma Mario is more likely given that Max Factory has already made Pit, Samus, and Link.

Pretty sad to not only see no Samurai Showdown figures yet in the line but also no KOF/FF released after Terry Bogard despite a few protos of other characters shown. Was his figure really that bad?

Hope to see Street Fighter(3rd Strike, Alpha or II based), Tekken and Assassin's Creed enter this line. Marvel vs Capcom would make my day too.

I think this would be the only line to do assassins creed right since undoubtedly Tamashii would utilize their vertical hip hinges to enable hip movement without being hindered with the robes

As a big KoF/FF fan.. I was personally very disappointed in Terry Bogard. Though my main complaint lies with his head sculpt and face. It's like they tried to capture the art style from the Fatal Fury movie, and did a poor job of it at that. The face is kind of flat, awkward, and too feminine. He also seems like a bit of pin head. The articulation suffers in spots too I believe. I think, judging from how he's priced online he hasn't sold very well. If there is one figure you should get right out the door, it's the first figure in a new line.

On a positive note, I'm surprised to see Omegamon preorders have stayed open so long on amiami. I had long assumed he would be reissued and I'm glad I held myself to that. For me, finally having MetalGarurumon, WarGreymon, and Omegamon all together at last is a dream come true.

Now hopefully Bandai can finally start moving forward with the Digimon line again and get some new figures out.
