Star Wars Figuarts!

I've been hoping for good news. HJ charged almost $40 to ship the new Boba Fett, which was about $20 more than I was expecting. It would have been a lot cheaper to go through BBTS. As a result I canceled a few other preorders I had through them and went with BBTS (Amazing Yamaguchi pre-orders for instance).

$110.68 plus $37.96 shipping (total of $148.64).

HLJ likes to overcharge USD. If you pay in Japanese Yen it will be $123.93.

You can change the Payment Currency under Payment Method in your account.

Wow! Thank you for the tip!

BOBF Boba is stuck in Nin Nin Game's preparation stage so here's my favorite look for Boba from The Mandalorian.

I repainted TBS Deathwatch Mandalorian helmet which for me is the perfect marriage between Boba's OT helmet design & the recent continuity.

I sanded the DW Mando's lower ball joint to fit the SHF neck, added the dent to the helmet & made a cloth neck warmer from an actual old neck warmer & super glued micro magnets to each end.

I'm really happy with the result.




Shameless plug as usual.

Man, I’m loving this guy, have hardly put him down since he arrived. Leaves me wanting/hoping they’ll reissue some of the others now.

One of the very few Star Wars figures that can hold their lightsaber in both hands with straight arms. The shoulders (drawer joints) move really far.

[Amazing_Spider-Man]

The butterfly joints on my original and reissue get no range, because they crash into the back of the tunic.

EDIT: I stand corrected! I was able to get the left arm to swing out all the way. The right arms is still stuck, the arm pops out of the socket and I can't get leverage.

And now I freed the right one by tugging at it with a paper clip. Seems like they were just stuck to the torso, because they work smoothly after the first full use of that joint.

I never saw the full extent of those joints in any reviews, back when it originally came out, so thanks Benedict!

No problem, glad I could help.

Kenobi!

[Amazing_Spider-Man]

Glad to see Kenobi is coming. They're also rereleasing Mando Luke. 2/9 is when they go up for order in Japan.

[TheSameIdiot]

Not seeing much of a Ewan McGregor resemblance there.

[Yo.]

The neutral face has a good likeness, they captured the eyes in that sculpt but it seems like the beards have always been difficult to capture digitally.

Not sure about the other heads though.

Hopefully this is another Crait Luke situation where people complained about the Chuck Norris likeness but in hand it was more accurate to Hamill.

I thought Gideon would have been solicited by now before season 3 of The Mandalorian because you know if they show Bo Katan & other Mandos he's getting pushed indefinitely.

[Amazing_Spider-Man]

I agree, I think the beard is throwing off the likeness.

I'm gonna wind up with TBS version and this one. Hasbro has done a good job with their Kenobi's from this series.

I did pretty much the same thing!
I pulled off the black series ROTJ helmet and repainted it, so it slips over the unmasked SHF head on mine.

Kenobi’s on nin-nin-game now, HLJ is sold out and amiami is 11am Tokyo time tomorrow.

[Mahtion]

Just got him on CDJapan but I imagine he will be up on Amazon JP.
