SHF Dark Trio Restored My Love For Toys. The dark trio are a group of dark manga/anime that SHF is doing:
>chainsaw man
>hells paradise
>jujutsu kaisen
I really love these 3 lines. Earlier this year I genuinely had ran out of things to get. I have a lot of interests, but I had most of the main characters for each line (full ML avengers, gundam, all diaclone transformers, all the MP Transformers that I liked, kamen rider, lightning collection etc.).
The dark trio brought completely new toy vibes that I had never felt. For once, there was 3 new properties with original ideas, that got decent import toys. I really don't remember this happening post 2020. All 3 properties are toyetic (basically meaning action heroes with cool fighting styles.) I really hope import companies take more risks on new shows.

Overall: 10/10

(I hope we get the plant trannys next.)

(Also I bought naruto, sasuke, and sakura but I haven't had time to open them. Thanks shf. This year has been fun)
>>
>>10738021
Chainsaw man was very depressing. I expected something silly like OPM
Sadly I skipped SHF Power over the gloss finish and terrible jacket and I regret it.

I can see that for Chainsaw Man but the other two shows have boring as fuck designs and characters. At least the ones available in figure form right now, but it's not like Bandai's ever gonna bother with monster-looking characters for most series or lines out there
Them finally jumping into Kaiju from Ultraman was like pulling teeth and even Chainsaw Man they probably only did it cuz he's the main character so they're kind of forced to do it. Would've been weird as fuck to only offer human form
If anything, the highlight of SHF for me right now is the Dragonball line. Toriyama's designs for villains and aliens are really cool and we're finally getting proper action figures of them. We have to deal with constant Goku repaints and reissues but it's worth it in the end to have figures like Imperfect Cell, Dodoria, Cui, Frieza's various forms, etc

>ywn hand-feed thinly sliced ham to Power
>ywn brush her cheek with your fingers and kiss the faint flavor of salt off her quivering lips
Real life is too cruel
>>
>>10738141
>you will never eat egg salad and pickles with some roasted ham with power
>you will never hear her straining grunts as she shits it all out half an hour later
>you will never move in to sniff her unwiped anus as she sleeps exhausted from the dump she took
>you will never pick up the different tastes and flavours of dinner off of the shit crusts on her butthole
Why even live bros

I'm close to pulling the trigger on SHF Power but her Figma is out now and I want to wait a bit for the rundown on that one. Anyone have any thoughts on it?
>>
>>10738146
>thank fucking god the anime was a fucking failure and the studio is collapsing as a result
You're thinking of JJK, retard
>>
>>10738162
Some anon made a comparison between figma and SHF, think you can still read it on the current figma thread but it's not super detailed
I think the main points is that figma has a matte finish which looks nicer but derpier and less faces. One extra weapon but it's a bonus pre-order thing. And also the figma is weirdly noticeably taller than the SHF, for some reason. Usually figma are tiny and SHF have been scaling up so it's weird that they ended up like this

>it's weird that they ended up like this
my money's on intentionally fucking with cross-brand scaling
so you get figma power but she'll tower over shf denji, gotta get figma denji for a correct scale
I'm just thinking what a complete jew would do
>>
>>10738191
Why did you quote me for? It's canon that she doesn't wipe, that's one of her appeal fetish points
Power's the filthy girl you do unspeakable things with
Makima's the dommy mommy who ruins your orgasm
Kobeni's the mentally ill girl you think you can fix until the day she stabs you in a panic
Himeno's the lazy drunk you have casual sex with and end up developing stronger feelings for but are too afraid to actually commit to
>>
>>10738244
Cope and seethe
>>
>>10738200
You don't know what your talking about.

Power is your sister, denji has no feelings for her after the bathroom thing.

Kobeni is never described sexually. There's am entire video essay online about how denji never has feelings for her. In fact she finds it disgusting, based on the prostitute comment.

Makima is a manipulator.

Himeno is complicated but ends up being a friend that denji sees himself in (loving another person)

The only people described sexually after their initial arc is makima and the girl who appears later.

My Denji has all kinds of QC issues. Like the paint on his head was all kinds of fucked up and his arms and legs are wobbly and keep popping off. Probably the worst figure I've ever bought. SHF kinda killed all joy for toys for me for a while. Haven't bought anything from them ever since.

sign of a shit line. I just checked and all you talk about is how shit the releases are and how a schizo got banned. I'll just assume you are the schizo.

The Dark Trio also reinvigorated my love of action figures. Love getting some brands from shows that are aimed at all the anime fans entering adulthood instead of the elementary school stuff like One Piece
>>
>>10739948
Why does everyone have this visceral hatred for CSM? The way it's painted on here makes it look like it's fucking rick and morty. I got actually memed into nkt watching it 'cause I thought it was about some comical retard MC being a pervert, some kind of OPM style comedy.

Riiiight because there's absolutely no reason why a shitposter would lie about owning a toy. Does the term "pics or it didn't happen" or "proofs" mean nothing nowadays?
>>
>>10741241
Not the spammer but FWIW a while ago I posted pics of my Revo Harley turning blue from the shitty paint they used, and while everyone recognized it was a QC problem I still got told I'm supposed to keep buying Revos 'cause it's normal to waste $80 on bad figures with bad QC and getting ignored by the company. The spammer is retarded but the coping attitude is real. The base idea is that you just keep buying and pray that you don't get bad QC.
>>
>>10741241
yeah right. I mean look at you seething and being a faggot already. Why would anybody even put the effort in it. SHF fucks up with literally every figure they make one way or another.

That was before I said I'm never buying anything from Kaiyodo again.
>Have you committed to full smurfette?
I haven't taken her out since 'cause I get annoyed when I look at her. She's been stuck with the D: face too, so she's become the retarded child locked in the attic of my collection. But I miss how much fun I was having when it was the synth girls and Harley. I think I'll eventually get over it when I'll have more figures, or find the time to strip the whole topcoat and then matte spray over it, or maybe I'll just buy SHF Power since I wanted her and she's the same type of character, but now that this happened I'd feel shitty to get her as a stand-in for Harley.
If it were a minor smurfening I'd ignore it but good gracious she gets bluer every time I look at her.

Any other of my posts you want to copy? Again I'm just using this thread as a dump for my pics. Your rants about QC don't even stop this guy >>10742958 from buying SHF Power. Keep losing.
>>
>>10742958
Ah ok my bad I probably only read the earlier parts of that thread then. Its rough and 100% something you shouldn't have to do but you may have to go the strip/spray/repaint route. Maybe experiment with some cheapo figures first

>she's become the retarded child locked in the attic of my collection
lol, buy a 1/12 zoo cage to lock her in and pose a bunch of other figures around it taking pictures and throwing peanuts at her
>>
>>10742958
also SHF Power is a nice fig. Only issue I have with her is one side of her jacket fell out, but I haven't seen anyone else have that issue. People complain about how glossy her coat is but I don't really mind it, its easily fixable with some coating too
>>
>>10743130
What kind of issues did SHF Power even have? I've only seen something about tight joints with is this most easily fixable thing in the world
>>10743320
Every time she gets posted here I just wanna get her. I hope she'll still be available somewhere by the time I decide to pull the trigger. I'm getting my first figuarts soon (Sagiri and Yuzuriha) and based on those I'll decide if to get Power too and probably the Forgers from Spy x Family

Finally, back to topic >>10743317 Power has very little issues it's just as you and others have said. I'm convinced she'll go on sale around the time Human Form Denji releases so I'll grab her then. Maybe I'll buy her an extra blank body and 1:12 Heidi Ott clothes to replicate her other outfits. Also as I posted before fingers crossed for Kobeni.
>>
>>10743861
Im hoping they advertise a 1/12 diecast fiat 500 and just have kobeni as an accessory for it
>>
>>10743886
I'm actually considering buying a 1/12 Fiat 500 while I'm waiting for her announcement
Only thing holding me back is the fear both companies will drop the line before they get to her and that the yellow Fiats I'm seeing have a sun visor which isn't accurate to the one she has

It's funny how other than hair being blond instead of pink the SHF seems like a 1:1 depiction of Manga Power in color scheme, eye detail, and exaggerated facial expressions while the Figma has the desaturated colors and "realistic" darker eyes from the anime.

Why is the figma so big??
>>
>>10746731
because with big power comes big responsibility
>>
>>10738162
Personally I think the Figma's faces suck. The coat design is better. SHF has great articulation and the faces are really nice. Same goes for Nobara but in that case the figma is just plain better except the faces suck. Faces are a dealbreaker to me and SHF tends to be more expressive.

yep! gonna try gluing it in eventually, will take her torso apart so i dont accidentally mess up her ab crunch with any of the glue

for now Ive got her posed with denji and the jacket kinda slots in and stays if you leave her alone. I wanna fix it soon though, her and denji are such great figs and are so fun to mess around with

I have samurai sword still in his box so I've gotta make sure I fix power before I open him
>>
>>10747174
I'm gonna remember to be careful with those bits
>>
>>10747181
Main thing is probably just making sure she isn't left in a pose on your shelf where shes kicking out to the side putting constant strain on it. And even then you might be fine, like I said before, I haven't seen anyone else have this issue specifically. Hope you enjoy her either way, I don't see myself getting Makima, but the CSM figs are great so far!

>>10746603
Holy shit, I started looking at the two of them and assumed the taller one that doesn't look exactly like Power was the SHF. Bandai is fucking pounding. I'm glad I ordered SHF Chainsaw Man and Power this evening instead of the Figmas. I know the shitty diaper looking crotches on Figmas don't look that bad in person but they put me over the edge going for the SHF instead. Having to buy a second Denji feels retarded but SHF Chainsaw man looks so awesome.
>>
>>10757371
>Having to buy a second Denji feels retarded but
See it this way:

The Figma retails around 12k yen (might have dropped, but that was the original price) and give you Denji parts to work with, but suffer from being two in one, because you have only one set of Chainsaw Man arms and no blood.

The SHF both retail for around 6k to 7k yen, so in a technical sense, you can get both for just a bit over what you would pay for the Figma on release. This gives you not only an extra body to fuck around with so you don't actually need to bother with swapping back and forth, but SHF Denji also comes with a few more accessories than the Figma. Two more faces for Pochita, the magazine, and I think a few more hands and expressions. The SHF Chainsaw Man is also bloodied and has multiple hand options to go with it, rather than just the one from the Figma.

Personally, hell yeah I'll pay 1 to 1.5k yen extra for a full SHF body (which is one of their better engineered bodies this year) and the accessories that didn't come with the Figma.
>>
>>10746603
>tfw my Power order is with AmiAmi
I'm gonna fucking die of old age before I get her but the more I look at the Figma the happier I feel with the SHF. Mostly because of the face. Figma just doesn't match the character at all.
>>
>>10757467
As someone who really likes the SHF, I admit that it doesn't capture the character either. Neither are 100% accurate, but to me, the SHF at least has the right vibes. The Power spirit.
The Figma kind of just looks like a weird, drug addled hobo with half rotten teeth giving me a weird creepy smile from across the street. And that's meant to be Figma's forte, you know? Likeness.
>>
My impression so far is that GSC is really good at the more moe-looking anime faces, but tends to mess up with different art styles. CSM has a fairly mature art style. I think the SHF looks a lot more like the actual character.
I don't know what the articulation is like on the figma, though. The SHF has great range despite the clothes.

Strong Power vibes from this description, especially of her earliest depicted moments.

Well, yeah. She's kind of weird, but she's not meant to look like an actual guy sleeping under a bridge with cracked, yellowed teeth.
>>
>>10757522
It's like they tried to moefy her. The figure's body looks cuter and with all the foot swivel they gave her I think they meant her to look more attractive and strike cute poses. SHF played her straighter as an action/fun character.
figma face legit sucks though
>>
>>10757533
Honestly, the Figma looks kinda mushy too. Like the jacket folds just look so soft and not in a good way.
>>
>>10757542
It's much tidier looking which isn't really what you want with Power
My concern with the SHF is that I'll become way too frustrated trying to fix those shoulder flaps in poses for a seamless look. Certain photos I've seen were truly horrific but it might just be that they didn't know how to pose her well.
Her feet seem to have pretty limited range too. The figma has amazing feet
>>
>>10757560
Yeah, the arm engineering probably wasn't the smartest decision. Might have benefitted from just conceding that it would be impossible to properly represent that look and aping the Figma instead.
>>
I'm tempted to do what I did in the Figma thread and make sketches as a posing challenge for Power. Figma or SHF doesn't matter. There was one anon who was happy to post pictures of her in an older thread, not sure if he's around.
I'm not even sure if any regular here has the Figma yet. Maybe I should wait, but it would be fun.

Sounds like it could be a good challenge. If nothing else, it might be fun.
I think everyone who was going to get the Figma regularly got it by now, though.
>>
>>10757827
now the problem is that every drawing I can think of uses props or is hard to match with the faces that exist in either release
CSM guy draws so well, especially girls
>>
>>10757797
Sounds fun, I didnt have Samus but I enjoyed watching other anons imitate the sketches. Be careful how you word it so it doesnt turn into another figma vs shf cringefest brand war though lol. I know 100% that isnt your intention whatsover but some people (or maybe just one in particular) are just rabid for that, or will just get pissy about an SHF being posted in the figma thread regardless

I'd love it if we could have a separate thread where people can request specific figures in poses with their sketches but idk if we have enough people who'll want to submit drawings. That other draw thread was really fun for a bit, I submitted the amazing yamaguchi christmas venom drawing there, but it already is running out of steam. I suppose simple sketches are more accessible and take way less time though

Regardless I have the SHF Power so if you do post some sketches I'd be happy to participate :)
>>
>>10758097
nvm sorry Im retarded I misread part of what you typed and thought you meant youd be posting the power drawings for the shf in the figma thread, thats why i warned about the brand war cringe. Sorry my bad!
>>
>>10758105
No I meant to post them here
but I can see how this could turn into a shf vs figma flamewar, all it takes is one person noticing the thread
>>
>>10758122
Yeah dw dw it was just me skimming over your message when you said "what I did in the Figma thread". Hopefully people will know at this point to just ignore that and not engage, its usually relatively easy to tell when people are trolling or voicing genuine grievances with a fig

trying this pose rn, unfortunately the back of her jacket is hard plastic that protrudes down just past her butt, making it difficult to arch her torso baclwards that much or get her to sit down like this
>>
>>10759615
I imagined. You could try giving more of a twist so she's learning more on her side and the jacket is out of the way
It was easier with Samus because depite the bulk she doesn't have anything that gets in the way of posing
>>
>>10759615
You could also use a prop for her to sit down on or lean back against

Best I could do
Trying to lower her arm into the position in the drawing just keeps making the whole shoulder pop off from the chest. Might just be an issue on mine but oh well
>>
>>10759666
twist the chest to the left if it's possible, the arm should be able to drop down while keeping the legs unchanged
always give a twist!

Sorry anon best I could get. You were righr twisting her torso helped, but her jacket and her hair going down so far make it a bit too awkward for me. She can't tilt her head or her torso back as good as pic

hmmm. I'm gonna think about other poses considering her jacket

maybe if the back segment is soft like the sides are? We'll have to see because even that could get in the way, plus the hair. Here's another pic of the side to show how it gets in the way. That back piece has no articulation at the torso like the main body, it just goes straight downwards from the upper back

The torso adjustment helped with the arm but now it was too far forward for her butt to touch the ground since the jacket keeps her "hovering"
I think the Three-Zero would be able to get poses like this since it's all cloth but with the plastic jacket of the SHF and some joints being a bit limited, it's hard
Also factoring in I don't want to break her and theses poses are making her joints squeak like hell lol

Couldnt match the straight posture because she needed to use her torso to get her arm across properly. Other anon is right again about the jacket difficulties and ditto on those squeaks lol

I think it could be circumvented by sitting her somewhere
maybe I'll do these back-leaning poses with a sitting prop like a chair
>>
>>10759719
this one came out nice! shame that she can't seem to bend her wrists down
>>
Another general tip on posing: covering part of the face with a hand can sometimes get you a different expression. I'm not sure about it because I don't have the figure, but the claw hand against the mouth of a scared/embarrassed face should get you some kind of nail-biting effect. Same with any serious/sad face and covering the eyes with a fist get you a sobbing crying effect

The more you twist, the better and more dynamic your poses tend to look. In Renaissance art this was called Figura Serpentinata (lit. snake-like figure)

well 'suggestion' it was more of a tip wasnt it. And it was a good tip, I havent really used hands to get more facial expressions before, most of my figs are in action poses

This is why I love figures with movable eyes. Between faces + hands + eye position you can get a ton of different expressions

I absolutely love the big sneakers they wear
>>
>>10759615
I was gonna say. Of all the poses, that one is probably Power's anathema because of the way they did the jacket, lmao.
>>
>>10759818
I was hoping that the back was as flexible as the side flaps. I wonder if you can cheat it somehow by removing the side of the jacket that isn't visible and leaning on the flank a bit more. I think they're removable because of >>10759702?
>>
>>10759824
Nah mine broke lol. Had her in too crazy of an action pose for too long where her leg was pushing the soft plastic out. All the pics I took here with it in are me posing her then slotting it back in place, it falls out if shes moved at all now

Got two other things I need to fix too I should get round to them soon
>>
>>10759719
it being broken gave me a bit of extra range in some situations like here

>>10759689
and made this (a little) easier with slightly less jacket in the way
>>
>>10759830
>>10759832
Hmm... I'd try to turn it into a feature instead of a bug. Maybe you can put some nail polish to the peg and plug it back in and out a few times, so that it's tight enough to fit and be removed but not loose enough to fall off on its own.
>>
>>10759690
>I wonder if the figma can get around that?
https://youtu.be/ht5NAbiHrsQ?t=328
I don't think so? It doesn't seem to have a lot of backward range either.
>>
>>10759833
Hmmmm worth a try, I'll give it a go before the glue
>>
>>10759834
I think she might pull those poses off a bit better simply because her jacket seems to be shorter. She should be able to lean back and sit down more nicely. Figmanons??
>>
>>10759837
I am completely clueless, get better info before doing that. There's a chance that using nail polish might screw up actual gluing for good

She came out this month, so I'm not sure if anyone has her yet.

>>10759728
Yeah unfortunately she doesnt come with another set of holding hands for a deeper angle knife hold like in the drawings
>>
>>10759811
honestly an underrated part of the figures

they do make ankle pivots in some directions a bit iffy but thats only if i want to be mean nitpicking, theyre good
>>
>>10759871
I'm not acquainted with Figuarts. How's the wrist articulation? I assume it's a ball hinge thingy like on other figures I have. In that case you can just pull it up and then turn it on its axis, then turn the hand so it's leaning down.

yep you can get extra range doing that, just with some figures, like the last figuarts trunks, they include a separate set of hands to hold weapons at angles like >>10759443, usually the hole the wrist peg slots in is different at a different anfngle
