S.H.Figuarts - News and Reviews

Maybe a little too fast. They took their time and Gaim came out excellent. I don't want a repeat of Wizard if Drive ends up being a rush job.

Gaim was first seen exactly the same time last year.

Hrm, I wonder how they're going to do the tire change on Drive. Is it going to be a tire you slip over his head, or is it going to snap off into two pieces... will it be functional or not?

i imagine 2 pieces with interchangable wrist braces for each one. Basically SHF Fourze but with Drive xD

The tire snapping off into two pieces would make the most sense. I reckon they should do it that way. I hope Drive won't be rushed lol

SH Figuarts Sakura Kinomoto is here!

I think it says her release is March of 2015.

^OMG So Cool, I want one.

Wow.... that actually looks better than the Figma so far, color me impressed. And sold.

Wow. I don't believe it. I'm surprised that Bandai is actually trying to compete with GSC on a human figure.

Wait, wait, wait. How does this look better? Looking at her hair and her frills, there's so much less detail and intricacy in the sculpt. I think it's just the fact that it's colored.

Honestly, I don't want to jump the gun as to which is the better figure. After owning a ton of human S.H.Figuarts and a hundred figmas, I can say that the quality of the figmas are much better.

Still, I'll most likely be getting both to review or something.

For comparison sake:

Not bad. I dig me some CSS Figuarts.

It's hard to judge which is better when the Figma hasn't been painted. The Figuarts version does look great and she'd fit in better with all the other magical girls I currently have. But their female characters often don't look quite as good as the prototypes indicate and they tend to have more engineering problems than Figma stuff.

I'm probably going to end up with both :laugh:
