Promotional pictures are fine and dandy, but there is just something about seeing upcoming figures in a display case. No fancy backgrounds, just the figure to promote itself. And these Star Wars S.H. Figuarts are looking awesome.
Another Akiba Showroom display. At first I thought this was the same as the one from last week but then I noticed this one has Obi-Wan from The Phantom Menace and both the Stormtrooper and Phasma from The Force Awakens. Color me stoked.
I guess I haven’t noticed that Phasma’s helmet is more bucket-like than the usual Stormtrooper helmet. The bottom doesn’t curve in and under, instead flaring out and just stopping. More like a knight’s helmet. I dig it.
Captain Phasma hasn’t went up for pre-order yet, but I am impatiently waiting.
The First Order Stormtrooper is already up for pre-order, and seeing it behind glass makes me antsy.
I also already have an Obi-Wan order secured. These shots show just how detailed his costume is, and that the gold hair may be making another appearance but toned down on top of a brown basecoat.
Maul’s Sith Speeder also makes another appearance. We still don’t know a lot about this. It’s again displayed with a separate placard than the Darth Maul in front of it, so wild guess at this point is that it will be a standalone item down the road. Others have noted that in order for it to be accurate Maul would need his hooded robe, so maybe that will be an option. That’s just pure speculation and wishlisting on my part though.
