So this is due out in October!

Police Girl · **Reply #1701 on:** June 21, 2014, 09:21:26 AM

Wow, that one looks like it might be the only competently designed of the pokemon figuarts so far.

Mewtwo was terrible and Lucario was also disappointing.

Police Girl · **Reply #1702 on:** July 17, 2014, 01:53:26 AM

Was I the last post in this thread?

Oh well who cares, posting figures.

I'm liking the Major here.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1703 on:** July 17, 2014, 01:56:05 AM

What company?

Police Girl · **Reply #1704 on:** July 17, 2014, 01:57:05 AM

GSC. Its a figma.

Quickman · **Reply #1705 on:** July 17, 2014, 02:11:51 AM

Blaziken's knee joints are... interesting. Does this mean we'll be getting figmas of the other Mega Evolutions? Mega Mewtwo X would look absolutely great on my shelf!

Speaking of my shelf, I should change up my display. Mewtwo shooting the Shadow Prune at Greedo is getting old. What should they do next?

I'll stop you right there and say that figma is not a term for a japanese figure.

Anyway to answer your question, I imagine they'll do what they have been doing, making figures of things that are popular and translate into figure form somewhat decently. So its a possibility. I imagine the Pokemon line of Figuarts is doing well if they've gotten to planning a sixth installment. I personally am surprised its made it this far, the only two I've picked up have serious balancing issues and I don't think I'll revisit the line unless they put out a 'mon that I really want.

Quickman · **Reply #1707 on:** July 17, 2014, 02:51:16 AM

I haven't had a problem with balancing my figure. The tail makes a nice prop.

Police Girl · **Reply #1708 on:** July 17, 2014, 02:57:16 AM

Yes, but if you want his tail in any pose other than 'Third leg' you need to use the stand and the figure suffers for it.

Most of my figures can stand on their own, I use the stand as an option so they don't fall down.

Mewtwo and Lucario need the stand to do anything. And its a terrible stand because they slip and slide and [parasitic bomb]. I just want a peg stand with a hole in their back. Not very aesthetically pleasing, but its a better option than what is presented.

Quickman · **Reply #1709 on:** July 17, 2014, 03:01:59 AM

I haven't had a single problem with the stand. It's stable and holds well. Mewtwo is in a flying pose, and has survived Mabel knocking around, while Greedo—who stands on his own—is constantly knocked over.

Ringman got the Monsterarts Xenomorph and it has the same type of c-clip stand. When he saw and experimented with the balance of Mewtwo's stand, he was impressed. His Xenomorph isn't displayed, but he could pose it similarly with it essentially "levitating" via the stand.

I'd like to get more c-clip stands as they'd be perfect for the 6" Black Series SW figures. Greedo wouldn't topple so much if he had some balance.

I'm actually beginning to wonder if you happened to have just gotten loose c-clips. Have you tried replacing them with tighter-fitting c-clips?

Police Girl · **Reply #1710 on:** July 17, 2014, 03:06:58 AM

Its not the clips, its his [tornado fang]ing torso being too narrow to snugly hold him.

Also, they sell the same type of stands in three packs on amazon for like $15. Look up Tamashii Stage Act.4 or something.

Perfect. Then it's bought!

Police Girl · **Reply #1712 on:** July 17, 2014, 03:20:36 AM

Yeah, the Major's been pretty poorly represented in a good, affordable figure format. Good to see she'll get something decent.

Where are you positioning the clip on the torso? I have the clip right around the lowest ab crunch joint and it holds fine. For flying poses, the clip is positioned just above that joint, as that's where the figure's balance is.

Police Girl · **Reply #1714 on:** July 17, 2014, 08:10:05 AM

Major Motoko is up for preorder now. She comes out in December so that means she probably won't make it to anybody outside of Japan until 2015.

3,760 yen at AmiAmi. No idea if she'll come with a GSC Shop exclusive pre-order bonus like Ryuko, boatsluts or Saber 2.0 have.

Archer · **Reply #1715 on:** July 17, 2014, 11:43:51 AM

Oh hey look, another Saber up for pre-order!

People sure can't get enough of that overused, milked design.

Police Girl · **Reply #1716 on:** July 18, 2014, 07:57:43 AM

To counteract Revoltech deciding to go all miniature [parasitic bomb]. GSC's pumping out their own solid snake.

Somehow, even chibi-fied Snake looks like a force to be reckoned with.

The cigarette helps!

Police Girl · **Reply #1720 on:** July 24, 2014, 07:15:07 AM

It was teased a while back (Like in May or something) but we finally have some pictures of Figuarts Luigi and Playset C.

I like it.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1721 on:** July 24, 2014, 07:19:17 AM

Yeeeeeeeeeeep. Buying that too!

Police Girl · **Reply #1722 on:** July 24, 2014, 07:34:05 AM

That's also coming out in December.

DECEMBER IS THE MONTH WHERE YOUR WALLET GOES TO DIE.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #1723 on:** July 24, 2014, 07:55:57 AM

Nooooooooope. December is Birthday & X-Mas month! My wallet will be juuuuuuust fine!

Police Girl · **Reply #1724 on:** July 24, 2014, 08:05:54 AM

See? I'm unlucky, my birthday is in the drought of July. I already buy all my own figures because nobody likes buying stuff online for me. At least I've got games I can get for X-mas.
