Wow that Kylo Ren looks amazing. He would look great with that MAFEX Rey figure. Any chance Big Bad Toy Store will have this to pre-order?

Wow, that Han sure is scruffy-looking! Why can't Hasbro get that quality of paint application?

Because it costs money. These figures would be more expensive than Hasbro stuff even without the import costs. Hasbro seems to go after a middle ground between play-factor and collector-pleasing because they still need to make it marketable to kids. SH knows they are targeting only collectors with their products so they can go the extra mile. Even if you strictly compare American toy companies (to eliminate import/export factors the Japanese face) you can always tell who a toy is made for, granted American collectibles only cost a few dollars more than Hasbro/Mattel items they often lack strength in articulation because they're aware their audience doesn't really need that much. It's a juggling game between looks and mobility if you want both done well it'll cost you more.

I'm generally pretty satisfied with Hasbro's Black Series, but I really want that Han(and ANH Luke).

I've yet to see a human figure Hasbro has been able to do right. They are superb when it comes to masked characters and their Storm Troopers are better than the Figuarts versions, but they wouldn't know how to make a good face sculpt even if the actor gave them their face.

I got Han with ease. It took less than a minute. I then went to bed so I could try to get close to 5-5.5 hours of sleep.
I still see no reason to spend $50 on a ST when Hasbro's aresuperior and cost less than half the price.

Finally news on a Rey!
Can't wait for better pics as I can't really tell how accurate the headsculpt is from this, at this point it seems "okay" but I expect a lot more than that from Tamashii! Although I must admit I would have liked a "classic" outfit better, but oh well, can't complain! Hopefully it will come later. Star Wars Movie Realization being one of my favorite line, I'm excited about this Maul. Concept is cool, and I'm guessing HD pics will reveal how detailed the figure is, as they always are! EDIT: The Finn headsculpt seems to be on point! Good job. But as for Rey, I'm a bit surprised that they chose to release this outfit first (maybe in this case it's because they could simply reuse the stormtrooper body though).

Very excited about getting heroes from TFA; they seem really early, just like Obi-Wan. The actual releases will look much better I'm sure.
I really like the MR Darth Maul. They're finally starting to do some new molding. Most of the other releases use the same arms/legs. edit. While not shown at the show, looks like a magazine scan for Attack of the Clones Anakin. I can't read Japanese but heard it says that it's a web exclusive and May release.
