He looks so blocky. His torso, the legs. The knees end up uglier than usual. I remember that deep crouch they had him in looked bad. I guess there's a price to pay for such a clean design.

They're pretty good especially if you get them at discount. Of course getting them today you can't help but feel that they are too small. But Revoltechs and mecha toys in general were smaller then.

>>10630131
I know I'm getting ripped off but fuck it. Yamaguchi just keeps upping his game, and I want to support that even if his corporate overlords are greedy. I mean, virtually every other Japanese toy company is already way overcharging for toys that rarely evolve substantially. If I'm forking over $100+ per figure, at least let it be something fucking awesome, you know? I definitely don't feel good dropping that kind of money on a Figma.

Is there actually a known way to fix Hawks' visor?
I recall someone saying they did it.
>>
>>10632890
It is PVC, just use some heat.
>>
>>10633135
Won't it return to its previous shape in due time?
>>
>>10633169
Maybe, maybe not. Since it was packaged separately and it tend to be deformed (different from mold shape) I guess leaving it off it will eventually bend back deformed. But keeping it on it might stay the way the mold intended it to be. But once the plastic is cooled they usually stay that way unless it's really soft. Like gravity is enough to bend soft. But the PVC on Hawks is pretty hard. The visor part might've bend because I assume there is some heat involved in packaging? That's why pieces with no joints inserted are hard to put in out of the box. Figma have pegs in those joint holes of option parts to prevent the expanding.
>>
>>10633368
I appreciate it.
The material (I still have Hawks in the box right now, whew) is still fairly rough in terms of texture, right? Not smooth, so it will warp and deform the eyes behind them?
>>
>>10633406
You mean the opacity of the visor? Yeah it bends light a little, but not so bad. From side angles though it looks very cloudy in spots. It looks clear only from dead front.
>>
>>10633420
I wonder if there's anything that can be done about that. I do recall seeing some pics where it looked pretty good, but that was when he first released.
I assume that entire issue is to do with the material picked and the imperfections in the sculpt.
>>
>>10633423
Yeah I think if you want perfectly clear plastic you need to go with something harder, and even then you can still get imperfections. Clear plastic on gundam models still have lines in them you can see.

Crybaby Devilman looks kind of like the manga version if you squint. That means that it will never happen. 70's anime Devilman and ugly redesigns forever. Sorry but those are the rules.
>>
>>10634821
Nobody cares about Devilman. They give the occasional try but they perform poorly. The properties that are inspired by Devilman (Berserk, Parasyte, Evangelion to name a few) have done much much better, because newer is usually better in Japan. Nostalgia for something that old isn't strong in Japan unless it's Mecha.
>>
>>10635698
Devilman is actually one of the only nostalgia properties that Japan keeps digging up. We get a new adaptation every few years in some form or another and we have so many toys of the title character from so many different lines. They just refuse to make toys of specific looks outside of the 70's show for some godforsaken reason.
>>
>>10635840
That's because Nagai Go is realistically only known for two things, Mazinger Z and Devilman. And he only cares about Devilman, so he keeps rehashing it, make other things connect to it, because none of his other works have really taken off. Getter was more Ishikawa's baby.

And these adaptations and spinoffs you are talking about haven't done so well, as I mentioned. Interestingly it is much like all these Western properties that have nothing but nostalgia. They can't come up with new ideas and make them work. Nagai behaves similarly, but it's nowhere near as big or profitable. And these action figures we get aren't best sellers either. If they were we see more. Recent movie, mangas and anime series gave us nothing in terms of action figures, just some statues. Anything can get statues.
>>
>>10635840
>They just refuse to make toys of specific looks outside of the 70's show
And that by the way shows nostalgia is weak from consumer demands point of view. TV show got something made because naturally more people saw and remember that, so it barely made the cut. Also was more like part of the Nagai super robots because of the crossover movie.

Slight correction; the 70's anime is a lot of fun, but should be considered to be its own thing as it's not an adaptation.

Watch devil man crybaby. It's the best version
>>
>>10636813
That's just untrue. Half of it is some shitty track and field drama that the creators seem to rather do but couldn't so they shoved it into a known property. It is sort of based on the swimmers setting from Devilman Lady but who cares about that. They also totally butchered the Satan reveal. It's so bad. It had fancy animation, that's about it. Original manga run still remains the best. Lady is an interesting continuation. Grimoire is a fun take with more anime settings involved. Amon is a good sidestory.

I thought Yamaguchi would really nail Aizawa and make him shine. Looks decent... Accurate I guess. But fucking boring. Why doesn't have a crazy long scarf and a thousand pieces? It's so barebones and "safe". Really disappointed.

He has a boring design though, that's his thing. Not sure what more he could do. Scarf has only two ends I guess. Maybe pieces that could wrap around other figures but that's hard to do right.

The 70's anime is kind of shit and is barely an adaptation. The two 80's OVAs are okay. The Amon OVA is kind of weird and just adapts part of the end of the manga for some reason. The live action movie is awful. The Cyborg 009 crossover OVA is fine for what it is. Crybaby is an absolute dogshit adaptation but your enjoyment may vary depending on how tolerant you are of Yuasa's direction style. The manga is great.

How exactly does Aizawa shine? You fucking retard. He's a boring cunt with a boring outfit and lame powers. The coolest thing about him is the scarf and that's a shitty thing to have being the coolest part of your power set up.
The only thing I would add is a scarf piece that looks like it's circling his head when he has his eyes red. This figure is perfectly mid just like Aizawa is.

>>
>>10637548
It is kind of like the new Trigun where it is mostly liked by a new fanbase as opposed to fans of the original.
Anyway I said it is a dogshit ADAPTATION not that it is a shit series. That is a personal mileage thing. Yuasa gutted the main cast, removed massive story beats and added a ton of awkward as all hell comedy stuff like the boner episode and the rappers. I'll give it points for actually getting to the ending even if it butchered the middle to get there. None of the other adaptations managed that outside of the movie.

Anons throw that word around and most don't seem to know what it even means. That makes absolutely no sense, especially for Kaiyodo. This happens randomly, and not even commonly among different stores. It should affect all MHA or all DC then. And these AY don't have distribution rights outside of Japan anyways like most collectibles unless they have official distributors AFAIK.
>>
I don't know if this has been answered before, but do you know why amiami doesn't have Agent Venom on preorder yet?
>>
>>10638386
>That makes absolutely no sense
t. NEET

Licensing costs money and license holders can be greedy as fuck. What's happening here is that the licensor has broken up the license by region, so that Kaiyodo can only afford the east Asia region.
In order to protect other license holders who may or may not hold the license for Europe, Africa, South America, and North America, they'll stipulate that the east Asia license holder can only be sold in east Asia only. This also means that retailers can't take orders from other regions. If a retailer breaks that contract with Kaiyodo, who has to enforce their license, that retailer can be fined or may no longer be able to carry Kaiyodo products.

tl;dr: SSDD

You see, I'm not buying this licensing explanation because it doesn't fit the pattern. Especially with which stores carry what. You see this more when you compare the Japanese sites with their international sites. What, is licensing so micromanaged character by character, and retailers are following and not following at whim? And not even selling it in Japan sometimes?? And this all started to happen more after the distributor aka Kaiyodo got shitty. Was the old distributor controlling licensing too? It makes more sense it's the shit distribution making certain items not worth carrying, or shipping out of the country. That's why it looks random who gets what. If you consider popularity of each character and where that might be, it looks less random.

And if following this guideline is so important, why do we keep seeing major stores breaking it without consequences too? And I'm not sure how licensing are charged or scaled, but are they distance based? Because when this happens, and it seem to only happen with Kaiyodo this way, they are strangely distance based. That plus America which Japan has special agreements of trades with. So this speaks to me more of a shipping costs issue. Drawing a line to not waste money perhaps. Shipping 1000 to one country might be cheaper than 50 to 20 countries. Something that is more so for the retailers to decide.

Why two or more stores decide to do the same countries at times is a tough one to explain. I can only assume same businesses think alike, and yeah that's not a great answer.
>>
>>10640166
retail is a bitch and a half to control, since there's so many distributors, resellers, outlet, and fell-out-of-a-truck sources to make orders from, so there's many avenues to get "region locked" products from.

Still, licensors are extremely controlling and licensees have to make every effort to comply with their contracts. But sometimes they're lax about it or maybe there's no explicit writing for a listing when making an order or on the box, which a lot of retailers/distributors take as "that restriction must have been lifted" despite previous language that more than implies the entire line is restricted forever.
Just think of it as watching a copyrighted material on XBOXB00BS Youtube channel. Just because the algorithm didn't block it from being uploaded doesn't mean that movie/song is suddenly public domain. Someone just needs to physically report it and it'll get removed.

I'm almost positive Kaiyodo's Marvel stuff was cockblocked in the US at first, but people on /toy/ found a way around that and now it's not hard to get at all. Other stuff that was cockblocked: Bandai's Star Wars models, JoyToy's Warhammer 40k figures, Hiya's GI Joe line.
In the first two examples, they eventually worked out a deal to get US distribution. The latter is still cockblocked, hence people ordering from some previously unknown websites.

Yeah I won't believe "licensing" as an excuse atm. Maybe if they also blocked the Kirishima AY too, but they didn't so we'll have to wait and see what happens with Shigaraki

Hmm, not paint transfer, the paint on her diaper piece would develop hairline cracks when it flexed.

Has anything like this happened to yours?

Steiner was an SS commander who was supposed to launch an offensive during the battle of Berlin. There's a scene from the movie Downfall where Hitler rants, in part, about Steiner's failure to act. The scene became a huge meme, with people altering the subtitles to be about all manner of topics.

Does it happen right away? I'll tell you if it happens (I hope not).
Couldn't be happier right now. I had only one thing that bugged me about her which is that only the first release in black/red had the shocked faceplate while the other two had the bubblegum, but on hobby-genki they gave the original face as a bonus. Absolute win

You guys getting head? Also are Revoltech heads swappable between figures?

I will get head. I can't speak for all of them but some very much can't be swapped, unmasked Captain America can't be put on Black Panther for example.

Devilman crybaby is a neat version but the 90s one is nostalgic if you grew up watching that, the original is unwatchable. Either way if you haven't seen it you're doing yourself a disservice, it's the equivalent of saying you haven't seen ninja scroll, akira, or like the og ghost in the shell.. you're uncultured and devil was where alot of animes copied their concepts from. It is the original.
>>
>>10649495
>seen ninja scroll, akira, or like the og ghost in the shell..
Those are the Western ideas for "good anime" as in it wasn't as shitty as whatever crap they could grab hold of. A lot of them don't hold much regards in Japan, they were one among many, not cherry picked samples for the US. Besides AKIRA I don't think they are considered that special in Japan. Personally SAC continuity are way more interesting overall for example. I think the so called cultured folks go for things like The Wings of Honnêamise, Castle of Cagliostro for that era.
>>
>>10649393
This head is cool but I realized I would only use it for novelty photos now and then, and actually prefer the normal Agent Venom head. Therefore it would be dumb for me to pay an extra $40 for the head.
>>
>>10649543
>don't hold much regards in Japan
wat?

The fact they all got sequels and even knockoffs shows that they were very popular.

One thing that most people in the know have commented on is just the fact there isn't much nostalgia in Japan. They don't have shit like Star Trek and Star Wars conventions like in the US. They want to enjoy new thing instead, albeit sometimes based on previous series like Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Inujyasha, Naruto, or Gundam.
And this isn't to say that old series are forgotten about or not cherished, but there's not a giant active fanbase like in the US, where fans clamor for a re-re-remake of Firefly or Battlestar Galactica, or new toys from them, despite 3-50 years having passed since their cancellation/ending.
It's rare for a one and done series or movie to get more shit after it ended in Japan and, like in the US, this doesn't mean it's actually great.

>>10649393
I will if I can find a good price for it.

guys the stand that came with Harley is super tight on the peg. How do you deal with this? Do you sand the peg so it fits? I don't wanna force it in.

>>10649600
This is honestly why manga/anime are more successful than ever while Western comics and animation are dead. You just can't keep milking Batman and other characters that are like 70 years old with endless reboots forever. Making new things from the ground up is healthier in the end.

if you dont read the bible youre uncultured and bible was where alot of animes/movies/books copied their concepts from. It is the original.
>>
>>10649803
uh, did you ignore the part where stuff like Gundam, Dragon Ball, Naruto, etc etc are also milked? Japan is no better than the US.
And McFarlane's DC line outsold Hasbro's Marvel line the other year, according to the largest sales tracking company in the world. So western shit is still super popular... hence Kaiyodo needing the DC and Marvel licenses to fill up their coffers. which allows them to make cool shit like >>10644990

i've seen clips of crybaby and i feel like i'm doing myself a disservice if i watch it

Now I have batman and the 2.0 spiderman. I should probably secure the catwoman preorder too because shes probably the third revoltech im pretty interested in. Im a difficult customer for this hobby because I dont give a shit about 99% of gay capeshit or animeshit. Only shit shit that ive liked since I was a kid like the aforementioned two that I already have, or videogame characters that dont seem to be a big thing for amazing yamaguchi at all. I guess there have been big boss and raiden but those are ancient by now
>>
Do you guys think there's a chance for AY Fantastic Four? I wonder how Yamaguchi would handle Mister Fantastic.
>>
>>10650467
Hopefully not, leave the lame shit to MLs
>>
>>10649495
Nobody gives a shit about Ninja Scroll and that shitty Fwoosh campaign right now is evident of that
Akira the movie is overrated and cuts a million things from the manga that are more interesting so experience the manga instead
>>
>>10650264
shouldve started collecting at least 3 years ago. Revoltech Raiden was just 7000 YEN and was considered pretty good for a rare figure. compared to the 16000 YEN he is now.
>>
>>10650518
>compared to the 16000 YEN he is now.
What the hell?
I thought he was expensive at 10k used 2 years ago.
>>
>>10650518
I dont even really want him, I never particularly liked how the character looks in revengeance nor do I even like the game itself. Id pay out the ass for an amazing yamaguchi gordon freeman, isaac clarke or ryu hayabusa
>>
>>10650264
I have zero interest in most media (I've got stuff on preorder that I didn't even know what franchise was from) and I got AY Harley just because she looked so damn good. I didn't even think much of the jugallette design before I saw the figure. Grew up with TAS so Harley was always jester Harley to me. Completely sold me onto the new design. I'm probably the worst possible customer because I don't have a nostalgia/hype attachment to what I buy, I just look at quality and what personally appeals me.
>>
>>10650467
Depends on how big a thing MCU can make the FF. It has to get to like Iron Man level for AY to use up 4 spots for them.
>>
>>10650467
Likely same as this: lots and lots of extra limbs and maybe the odd weaponized giant hammer fist.

Ever since they fired kenelephant prices suddenly exploded across the board. I don't know the details of what exactly happened bts but the last few figure announcements have been completely fucked in terms of distribution and locking exclusive parts behind an outrageous paywall.

It's like kaiyodo doesn't want our business anymore.

Is there a reason that the reverse flash didn't go up on hlj? Is it a store exclusive?
>>
>>10650600
Oh yeah, Harley and maybe Joker are others that I actually might be interested in, especially Harley because she just looks damn good. I just intentionally try to avoid buying a lot of things even if I can so I don't fill the space with things that I don't even have a big connection to
>>
>>10650467
>>10650911
An AY Mr Fantastic with crazy stretching add-ons like that is unironically my most wanted figure out of this line. That thing would never leave my desk
>>
>>10651639
Best guess because this crap happened after AY lost the distributor company, is that certain AY are no longer profitable for stores to carry or sell overseas. HLJ don't have them at all, even on their Japanese side because nobody use them in Japan. No DC there for a while now and looking at movie performances you can see why. Most interesting example is AmiAmi Japan. DC AY and MH AY are not getting discounts. This to me say that the stores are not getting enough of a discount from Kaiyodo to pass onto the customers. Marvel and MHA still get discounted. DC used to too prior to dropping the distributor. If one of the biggest site can't get by without charging full price, smaller places are likely not to even take the risk.
>>
>>10650911
if mr fantastic gets an AY treatment, it'll probably the closest yamaguchi can get to making a luffy figure.

and it'll be hundred times better than shf luffy.
>>
>>10651639
They're not exclusive but it seems Kaiyodo badly wants a piece of the P-Bandai market and this is their attempt to see how much they can gouge customers wallets by cutting out the distributors.

I can't wait for this to blow up in their faces when they realize they've effectively cannibalized their own profits by making it impossible for people who want to buy their products to do so.
>>
>>10651737
Gaijinbros... How can we cope...
>>
>>10651765
Only option is to bend over for the nin-nin/HobbyGenki rape train and hope to God you don't get a dud.

I don't think they will bother mailing replacement parts if you do.
>>
>>10649588
That was my attitude too. I’ll never display Agent Venom with a Venom head, so I passed. Still not thrilled that this is just how AY works now. Wasn’t a big deal for stuff like extra webs for Spidey, but alternate heads is a pretty lame thing to lock behind an extra $40.
>>
>>10650467
Low, if only because I assume they’d test sales of someone like Thing by doing a Hulk first.
>>
>>10651929
AY Hulk sounds pretty fucking great.
>>
>>10651737
I don't think it will because it doesn't affect the local customers that much. In the meanwhile they are releasing more characters for AY than ever before. What will do them in is the general inflation of prices. I'm curious to see what desperate plan they will come up with for that. Last time this happened they thought Revol-Mini was a good idea.
