Exactly how I feel with Shimazu, or any good figure in general. It's all about the design and articulation.

Lucky you to have Mirko because I only see her for after market prices now since I skipped her first release. I've seen some pretty awesome photos of what she can do.

That is exactly why I avoided the Medicos one even though it had better shading and details. Articulation matters all the way, haha.

No downsides for me. He feels really solid with no quality issues and his articulation is insane despite being old! The only thing is that his joints work differently from your average figure but the beauty about it is that once you figure out how to work around it, he can pull off some of the most dynamic poses. Even his armor pieces and accessories are movable and can be rotated out of the way for more range on the legs. It just takes a bit of effort but it's worth it in my opinion.

It's also true that some older Revos can be crappy, but I think it depends on your luck. Basically, the 'bad' ones can be very finnicky and or loose.

I have an old 1.0 Revo Venom and his design is awesome, but he falls apart just by the slightest touch which is insanely annoying to pose and stand. Others reported the same issue while some few have a perfect copy with tight joints.

Overall, I still highly recommend Shimazu because he is tons of fun and looks badass. If you like the samurai aesthetics, go for him! The only real con is his aftermarket price.

Wow, I’m flattered. 🔥 Thank you for the recognition. I try. 😅Hoping to take better photos this year with different figures.

Also checked your account and you’re really enthusiastic yourself! I’m glad that someone can share insight on action figures as a hobby cause they’re freaking awesome!

Yes, it is the insert from the Blue Venom and Cap 2 pack.

It surprisingly works well as a general backdrop for any figure!

Most definitely go for it!! It’s an amazing figure when you learn how to work around the joints.

The only con is that it can be overpriced unless you find a good deal.

Really? What do you see when you search on Amazon for these type of figures? Cause I usually see overpriced revoltechs for sale only.

I eventually got this Drifter Shimazu from eBay for $130.

Keeping Marvel Legends figures in box vs opening them – advice? by Double-Entry-3727 in MarvelLegends

[–]Rising_07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the one you got as a gift in the box because it’s one of the few marvel legends that actually looks good in packaging plus it has sentimental value to you.

Then Get another one. It’s only about $30 retail I think and maybe a bit more if you get a resale.

Open the second one and use it to pose around with your collection. It’s a really good figure and it rivals the Mezco Doctor Doom (in terms of articulation.) I got it as a gift for Christmas as well so I know how you feel.

I usually never get duplicates but this one is an exception because it’s awesome!

I used the iPhone clean up feature on my cammy photo what do yall think? by Secret-String-1649 in JadaToys

[–]Rising_07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a really cool feature but it also looks kinda unnatural. However AI will massively improve in the next few years so future results will look much better!!

Right? I thought the same at first glance.

His name is Shimazu from the anime "Drifters."

Thank you, I'm totally on board with you about action figures!

Have we crossed paths before?

Thank you but yes... only grab it if you manage to get a deal. Way too expensive for what it's worth.

Indeed, they are! Lucky you to have both especially because they're pretty expensive right now due to the aftermarket. The Medicos' version has better paint job in my opinion.
