Bandai Figarts
By: Neumatic Date: July 18, 2013, 8:49 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I'm obsessing with these at the moment since they're showing
them off at SDCC. I'm just cheesed that toys didn't look this
good when I was a kid, but I guess that's tech and progress (and
the realization that those "kids" have a lot more money now).
I REALLY wish I could do some shopping there, if I remember
correctly, when I was looking at getting a Kamen Rider W figure
I would up getting an SIC figure (which are ALL kinds of
awesome) because the price difference between SIC and Figarts
was very slim. I'd like to see what these are going for
stateside.
SIC figures are redesigned, hyper-detailed and PACKED with
ridiculous amounts of extras, my Cyclone/Joker figure can pretty
much be entirely disassembled to become a DIFFERENT character.
It's nuts. The Figarts figures seem more streamlined and
simplified, but I'm just diggin' 'em right now.
And the big thing they're pushing is the new 20th anniversary
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I know it's kinda cheesy and a
little lame but it was one of the only shows on when I was a kid
and I have a soft spot for it (now I'm more interested in the
Japanese version, cause it feels like I can take it apart and
"play" with it more).

(I love the box design too, a little more collectable looking)

Yeah, he comes with the Sword of Darkness, ****!
And coolest is that the Gokaiger figures are coming out
stateside as well. The best looking designs over the past few
years and diggable characters to boot (I honestly think you
gotta like the person INSIDE the suit to buy the toy of the
suit, which I think the show doesn't totally get).

And the Shinkenger/Samurai suits look pretty sweet too, also dig
those designs and of course the show wound up sucking.

(Oh man, while finding the images for this thread I found the
Figarts for Rider W Cyclone, CLOSE to what I have but not quite,
and he looks darn good too)

I'm not a fan of Power Rangers, never watched an episode. But
even I know those look sick.

I was kind of hoping that the Saban buy-back of Rangers would
have been a bigger deal but between crummy writing, lackluster
production and just not fitting in with the Nick schedule
(that's been their problem for a long time now, the show doesn't
FIT next to anything else) it's been a whimper. Which sucks
cause as an artist, I see the potential in the concept (a
lighthearted sci-fi superhero show that reboots EVERY YEAR) and
the design of the Rangers is a great blank canvas, I keep
thinking of those artistic Darth Vader helmets and think the
Ranger helmets are perfectly suited for that.

I'm gonna hit the Sideshow booth as always. I will see how many
pics I can come away with and post when I get back home.

F'in A I love Sideshow. Not that I could ever afford it. But I
dig Sideshow, DEFINITELY wanna see what they've got going on
there.
I'm sure there's gonna be an SIC stand near the Bandai stand, if
you've never seen those before-- they're NUTS.
