If I did, I'd sell them to Diggeh
I'm gonna wait and see but I'm leaning heavily towards the MAFEX.

Me too. The SHF's suit pattern/texture is too pronounced. The real suit has that texture, but not that obvious. The Mafex suit looks much more natural and accurate.
SHF Left, MAFEX Right.

Not really feeling SHF Spidey even though I have pre-ordered. I don't like the textured look or the dull colours. Expected much better, really.
I feel like that's just the lighting.
They def put more effort into it with that accessory alone.
IMO both come off as a little dull. I like it more bright, like MvC. Not a fan on where the torso joint is located in the Mafex, either.

That's the MSRP. Most places were offering early bird discounts but that's over now. Happy hunting!

semi hopeful news, my contact in japan might be able to secure a mp-36 for 18000yen.. hopeful it'll come through. =)
Good luck!
Just in time for the sequel! When will Vol. 2 Drax come?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
It isn't.
The pattern is finer on MAFEX. Count the rows in each section.

I added more. Hit the post button too soon.
Sakura is by Phat, Ann and Niijima are Amakuni (meaning they're exclusive), Caroline and Justine are by Aquamarine, and MC is by Kotobukiya.

And since we're talking about Kotobukiya, pics of their 1/6 ArtFX movie Wonder Woman came out of nowhere the other day. The likeness is spectacular.
She comes out in July. First release run of the figure will also include her sword and shield from Batman v. Superman.

Sure.
Nijiima not sculpted yet:
Damn, those are some legs.
Looks stellar, moreso due to the expression on her face actually looking determined and stoic, unlike the majority of DCEU WW figures having a blank gormless look on their faces.

If you cancel the shitty Suicide Squad figures it's pretty manageable.
Dude, just stop. I think you're taking the hobby too far.

Only one figure was a figma. All the ones I posted were scales. Deliciously expensive scales with none of those disgusting joints.

Figma Atlas from Portal 2 is up for preorder. Price seems pretty steep at 7,120 JPY, and that's with Amiami's preorder discount. Anyone going to preorder it?
Freezasaurus
Member
I was thinking about getting the two of them, but they're pretty steep in price considering their sizes (Atlas 4.9" and Peabody 5.5"). A little odd they didn't open pre-orders for both at the same time.

I really don't want to say this as it might come off as condescending, but if you take a loan, even a small one, to pay for toys then you might want to reevaluate things.

I'm like 99.9% sure Messi is fucking with you guys.
That's possible, but I've seen a few examples of people who took on significant financial burden to feed their habits so that sort of talk freaks me out. However usually they wouldn't talk about it on forums.
What I've seen if his place did make seem to be well off, but you never know.
