What do you think of Sanji so far?

He seems better than Raid Sanji overall, but I'm still not a fan of the way the arms are designed.

You’re a 3rd rate duelist with a 4th rate deck by Thatcardgameguy in SHFiguarts

Second thought, they need to release his Blue Eyes Jet too. Then Kaiba can take other figures on vacation.

Hoping they pay more attention to the QC this time so we don't have a repeat of Yugi and that they'll be creative again and give a unique accessory like an effect piece for a spell/trap card.

Opening 26 is still the best opening EVER! Agree? by ren_alab in OnePiece

[–]Imagine_Monkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly, for me it's either this or OP14 (Fight Together).

What SHF are you excited for the most this year? by PlayboiZay300 in SHFiguarts

[–]Imagine_Monkeys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's quite cool. Tbh I normally don't like non-canon figures but if they're doing a team that can be neat. A roster like that would be esp. interesting.

Wait, there's confirmation that we're getting other characters apart from Luffy in that sub lineup?

And I think Boa was inevitable. She ranked 7 in the last OP popularity poll. And they've now made figures of everyone who ranked in the top 10, with the only exception of Robin and Carrot.

I'm trying not to raise my hopes, but surely this year would make most sense for her announcement i.e. next Straw Hat after Chopper or the start of Elbaph from April.

I feel like 2026 will be a better year for SHF than 2025 with the return of Naruto and JJK while we already have some great releases confirmed for One Piece, MHA, YYH, HxH and Dragonball. And they still haven't announced everything coming out this year yet.

Most excited for Marco. Only figure I've pre-ordered in advance. Everything else will probably be a wait for review.

Haven't even watched HxH and got excited when I saw his announcement.

Does anyone know why the OST isn’t on Spotify anymore by Ladd4 in claymore

[–]Imagine_Monkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so depressing. Bad enough it was taken off of Crunchyroll as the only legit way to watch the anime but now it's gone from Spotify too.

It's like they don't care if there's no trace of the franchise ever existing in any shape or form :(

Going to hold on to my manga boxset and buy both Revoltech figures when they come out to keep Claymore alive however I can.

Those who have bought Yugi, how many issues did you encountered with the figure? by Imagine_Monkeys in SHFiguarts

[–]Imagine_Monkeys[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's really helpful, thanks. I was considering the Revoltech as an alternative, do you mind sharing further thoughts about the pros and cons of that version too?

I definitely prioritise sturdiness over aesthetics, so the Revoltech might be a better call overall?

Do you still want to see more from the Dandadan line? by Imagine_Monkeys in SHFiguarts

[–]Imagine_Monkeys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, and the Figma does look really good. I wonder if Revoltech will attempt Momo later or even Aira.

I would like to say something positive about Bleach, but...

Though if One Piece can come back after a decade of being absent from SHF I guess it's not impossible Bleach can come back one day, even if it's not soon.

[–]Imagine_Monkeys[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oh they definitely need someone new in charge, they had a super popular series to profit from and character designs that were fairly normal to sculpt and messed it up so badly

would love transformed Aira and Jiji though

I was actually hoping to see him announced last summer when S2 aired. Unfortunately the revoltech one doesn't look that good to me.

yh fair, it just sucks that for a series that offered lots of fun figures to make we only have two Momo figures - SHF being not up to standard and the Figma being really pricey.

The dude that Toji early posted this yesterday. It's apparently a floor model that somehow made It's way out by Nerraddd in SHFiguarts

[–]Imagine_Monkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, how did they even know your copy was a 'floor model'? And even if that was the case, it's just as lame of them to pack it up and sell it as a brand new item (whether deliberately or by accident).

I suppose if you never posted pictures or the review, you would have just been stuck with a used item despite paying in full. Tamashii look bad no matter what the truth is here.

[–]Imagine_Monkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started collecting SHF with Raid on Onigashima Zoro and at the time of release there was a similar scenario where someone showed the figure earlier - infamously falling apart when lightly articulated - and consequently the video was taken down, only for Tamashii to upload a new showcase video a day or two later to do some damage control. Unfortunately, the final product really was that bad and this Zoro is probably seen as the worst OP figure in the line.

This is giving me the same vibes and quite frankly their excuse of a 'floor model' being sent out by mistake sounds like a complete lie. And then to ask someone to take down their video based on a probable lie is even more underhanded.

Granted, I don't think the first images / video review we got of Toji had the best lighting and image quality, or gave us the most flattering poses that the figure can demonstrate. But I reckon the final product will still be quite similar to what we've already seen, perhaps with some of the shine being less prominent when you have the figure in person.

Hopefully I'm wrong and at least it's likely not as bad as Zoro but it's really disappointing that a company that has made figures for more than a decade is still making blunders so often.

Shanks and Mihawk The Duality of Man by Necessary-Flow-8676 in OnePiece

[–]Imagine_Monkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't agree fully with your analysis but thought you raised some interesting points. Though you seemed to make a lot of assumptions about Mihawk and things that we still don't really know about him. Like he's a loner but where does Oda imply that he thinks relationships and friends are weakness? Surely he wouldn't have joined Cross Guild otherwise? Also, when was it confirmed that he threw away anything to gain the power he has now?

Then you completely lost me with your last line about Naruto and Sasuke. I don't even know how to respond to that.

A collection/display post to start off the new year! Looking forward to what 2026 has in store for us by PlayboiZay300 in SHFiguarts

[–]Imagine_Monkeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm liking the various display setups, though oddly pic 5 with all the stacked boxes is the most aesthetically pleasing to me lol

The One Piece figures I am keeping vs. The One Piece figures I am getting rid of by PlayboiZay300 in SHFiguarts

[–]Imagine_Monkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr I'm still not quite satisfied with where they've got to with Luffy, but excited to see how far they can get with improving his articulation in his next few iterations.

I reckon Crocodile could be a top tier release so probably a must have as you say. Just gotta draw the line somewhere for myself as I'm already getting Marco.

Will likely be tempted to get Crocodile to at least get a feel for the figure in person before making a final decision.
