S.H.Figuarts Marvel MCU General Thread

Re: S.H.Figuarts IronMan

So is this now the unofficial official) ) SH Figuarts AOU thread? Can't find the SHF AOU thread. Mods/OP let me know if you want me to move this post.

Anyways, did anyone get their Thor in the mail? Not too shabby Bandai.

Nice detail on Mjolnir:

Had to add some special effects to distract from the poor lighting :

I have mine paid for and waiting in my private warehouse, need maul to come out and ill ship em together, pretty excited to get him though

Thread should be renamed to "Japanese Marvel Products" or sort already

He does have a little likeness to Chris Hemsworth in certain angles, but the dead stare is how I wish it came with an alternate head.







Realised that I have forgot to swap out the eyes for Thor

Tony Stark: Thor, the camera's up in front.
Thor: Oh, is that how it works?

Coincidink! I have my Thor preordered along with Darth Maul (but through amiami). Which explains why I have not received my billing for either figures. I suppose they're waiting for shf darth maul to be in stock.

Speak of the devil! He looks pretty badass, might pick it up! The Revoltech version totally outshines the SHF.

Am skeptical for this. Remember how shiny MIDAS looked in Revoltech's product shots? Compared to the actual product?
Their first few Marks were good in their own game, Marks 6,7,21 and 42 have rather sloppy paint applications and proportions. That's why I sold them off to get my 'first and only' Hot Toy.

I'm not as worried with Ultron since he's all silver. There's also the fact that Ultron and Venom Snake are part of the revitalization of their 6-inch figures, which could hopefully means that they've upped their game and cracked down on their past issues.

Got Thor yesterday. Haven't had time to open him yet. I've seen both positive and negative reviews of the hulk. So still not sure if I should shell out for it.

Re: S.H.Figuarts IronMan

Just opened Thor. Everything looks good. I just don't like the hard plastic they used for the cape. Seems brittle.

Hulk has limited articulations on the arms and all of them has this fading shade of green. I'd say go for it if you're collecting the SHF Avengers line, otherwise just stick to the ML one.

I had the ml one and sold it with the rest of my ml's . I have MK 43, 45, Cap, and Thor. I feel like I'm too far in the line to not get hulk, but then I'd feel pressured to get War Machine, Ultron, and Hulkbuster. Not to mention I'm collecting the Star Ward line too

I have the 43 and it's great, my only gripe would be the gap in the crotch (cue laughter) and within my very small Marvel display, he's actually shorter than MAFEX Spidey although that's remedied by crouching Spidey down low. Really curious to how the MAFEX 45 will turn out but that's going to be several months to drop time.

The only other Marvel SHF I'm interested in is Hulk but I don't feel compelled to get anything else. The Figma Hulk looks like a good option but we'll see.

Re: S.H.Figuarts IronMan

I really wish they included flight stands with these.

Re: S.H.Figuarts IronMan

Great photos! Never liked the Playarts stand, seems to be too wobbly.

Thanks!! the PAK stands can never hold their own figures - but they are pretty good for these light ones...

Have done a video review of Mark 45 :

Re: S.H.Figuarts IronMan

I just broke down and shelled out for the SHF Mk VI. I've had the black version for a while and it's one of my favourite figures of all time.

I've also got the Mk 45 in transit too. Going to make a handsome pair.

MKVI must have cost you a lot! Getting WM too? You have to complete the pair

About £40 with shipping from Mandarake. Decided to jump on it because I've noticed the prices creeping up on the aftermarket and I really wanted a good representation of the classic-looking red/gold Iron Man for my shelf - Hot Toys Mk IV and VI are getting too expensive and I wasn't impressed with the Mk III Diecast. I already have the black version and it's one of my all-time favourite figures.

I'd love the SHF War Machine Mk I, I honestly think it's the best WM any company's put out in any scale, but I've resigned myself to never in all likelihood owning it looking at the current aftermarket prices. Even Mandarake want upwards of £100 for them now, and I can't justify that to myself.

Re: S.H.Figuarts IronMan

If you want to get it, get it soon. Or pay silly aftermarket prices.
