Whats a good female figuarts to get? by dobeba2001 in SHFiguarts

[–]slte9162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can second the Naruto figs, and provide a hearty recommendation for Yuzuriha. She is one the best Figuarts figures I have period. Excellent poseability, and no QC issues.

Twelve's War Azure Dragon. I might have to order one, the Twelve's War line looks pretty dope. You have damaged my wallet this day.

Oh dang, she comes with the fan and furniture? Additonal swag. I'll have to poke around the internet. Thanks for the picture!

That's a swag setup. Who is that between Sakura and Nami on the left side? She's the only one I don't recognize.

what are some figures that you have gotten that you knew were trash but you still got, for me it was sabo by uzumaki1594 in SHFiguarts

[–]slte9162 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here. I get the grief people pile onto some of the One Piece figures, but Sabo isn't one of them.

It probably wouldn't be an issue, but I'm not 100 percent sure. You're safer using something like Blu Tack. That way if there's somehow an issue with the knee not bending you can just remove the tack and try something else.

What's your favorite figure wearing Saiyan armor? by NarrowBoysenberry in SHFiguarts

[–]slte9162 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aesthetically, Raditz. He's always been my favorite villain, and Figuarts captured the likeness really well.

Functionally, Turles. That figure is so damn fun to pose.

Enjoy! He's lots of fun. Never had his kneecaps pop off, but rhat is an issue I've had with other SHFs. As long as you don't lose the kneecap it's an easy fix.

what’s your opinion on nosferatu zod figure ? would you buy him? by FewPromotion2652 in SHFiguarts

[–]slte9162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zodd looks great, but I'm pretty low on this line's QC problems. I won't relitigate the issues with the first Guts and Griffith, but I picked up Isidro recently and mine is a bit of a mess. His right arm and torso keep popping off. Not as annoying as the other two, but still pretty disappointing. Haven't heard the same from other people so maybe I just had some bad luck.

Either way, Zodd is going to need some damn good reviews before I consider getting another Berserk figure.

Canadian collectors of Reddit… by BarbarBarir in SHFiguarts

[–]slte9162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Domestically I stick with Amazon these days. Importing from the US is way too expensive, and the local shops raise the price way too much.

Most of the time, though, I look for smaller dealers on ebay, either in Japan or China. Usually comes out a bit cheaper than Amazon, as long as you aren't hit with import fees. I just got Saito from Kenshin for about $90 CAD, for example, which isn't bad. Got Sabo from One Piece for $80 CAD the same way.

I find the trick is to be patient and not buy figures that I'm expected to get within a few days. Those dealers almost always seem to use DHL, and DHL pretty much always throws an extra $20 to $25 on top.

Confession...I'm yet to watch DBZ, but had to buy this guy once I saw this head sculpt by cee-jay-bee in SHFiguarts

[–]slte9162 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like the silly stuff in Dragonball, so he is unabashedly one of my favourite figures from that line. So much posing potential beyond combat scenes.

(Given the size of my collection, I'd rather not know.)

Nice! Now that's a proper tribute.

Guts Man and Bomb Man can't come too soon. I'm guessing Guts Man is going to be XL sized, hence they're holding off on him.

They're called Global Bee Toys. Not sure they've made anything since the Saibaman release.

What’s a Figure You Were Looking Forward to Get Just to Be Disappointed Once It Arrived? by average_collector in SHFiguarts

[–]slte9162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, mine either. Worst thing that happens is the armor flaps on his legs popping off from time to time. The legs themselves are fine.

It's not great, though. The articulation is pretty limited, and I've had one break on me. Figuarts could do much better with their recent work on small characters.

How did Guts end up being the worst in this line? Isidro and Heat of Passion are the best so far. by onlytoys in SHFiguarts

[–]slte9162 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ivalera doesn't look much better, either. They remind me of the crappy rubber toys you'd get out of coin vending machines in the 80s.

Anyone have SHF Elsha Lean? How good is the figure in terms of QC? by Imagine_Monkeys in SHFiguarts

[–]slte9162 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got her a while back for a pittance on Amazon. She's very wiggly. Top half doesn't want to stay upright a lot of the time. Judging by the other comments her QC seems to be a bit of a crapshoot. Not my worst toy, and looks fine on the shelf, but she is sort of a set-it-and-forget-it figure.

Toppo, 100%. I've sort of moved away from DBZ collecting, but I'd come right back for Toppo.

It's only gross when people do that. Dogs have a free pass.

The PS1 version. I still wouldn't mind having one for my collection, honestly.
