S.H.Figuarts Thread: G4!

It might be because it's so easy to make the OOO effect parts. At least for bandai it is.

I just realized something very interesting when it comes to these dots on the figuarts. I was told that the dots represent the number of releases of that particular figure. I dont have any re-issued figuarts to make the comparison so I dont know if the dots decrease or what. Does anybody know?

But what I realized was that all figuarts have the dots. That goes for the exclusives to. Every exclusive figure that I have has those 4 dots located somewhere on their body. This makes me think maybe the reissue thing really isnt what the dots stand for. Because like I said I dont have a reissued figuart to make the comparison. I just thought it was odd they were on the exclusives to.

Does anyone have a reissued figuart with 3 dots?:hmm:

It's not a feature of Figuarts, first of all. All sorts of Bandai products use them and always to designate how many times a particular figure or mold has been put to use. Also, your new theory is indeed wrong. I have a ton of first-issue Figuarts with, naturally, four dots, but every time I end up buying a reissue, it has three dots. Dark Kabuto, my only reissued Kabuto SHF, for example. I've never had to wait for a third issue to get one, I don't think, but other people own two-dot Figuarts, even.

The only thing I've found is that the dots are either difficult to find or not included with some of the DX toys I've owned. I can't seem to find it on the OOO Driver, I couldn't find it on the TaJa Spinner before I sold it, and while one medal from Medal Sets 1 and 2 indicate the number of issues (Kuwagata and Sai), I can't find the dots on 3 or 4.

Thats what I was asking. You answered my question. I dont have any reissues in my collection to know if the dots decrease. My main point was the dots appear on the exclusives as well which I had never realized which made me curious because they dont get reissued. I didnt know they came on most bandai products. Makes more sense to me now that I know they come on more than just the figuarts. Thanks for pointing that out.

I only have that sort of "tone" because I recall telling you exactly what those dots are and do last KRG! :laugh:

A couple of mine have the 3 Dots that are reissued. Like Baltan said, all Bandai products use them, and they simply show how many times it's been made. Supposedly when the 4 run out, they switch to a new shape.

The only exclusives that should have three dots are:
- Agito Storm Form
- Agito Flame Form
- Kuuga Rising Mighty
- Kuuga Rising Dragon
- Kuuga Rising Pegasus
- Joker

Those were all store/event exclusives that seen a second release.
