Shoulda preordered Future Trunks but I'm sure I'll be able to snag him from BBTS or Barnes and Noble when he launches.

I was really thinking of getting this but that's a bummer. Is the Ant-Man any different than the single release? Still worth getting if I don't have that?

There’s no difference other that the extra pair of hands to hold the ant. It’s an awesome display, I just don’t get why they had to go super sharp on those.

I’m kicking myself too, I missed a pre-order from a Japan eBay seller for 48 bucks each with free shipping. I have the BBTS pre-order going but it’s a little more expensive.

Hmm, I really want it but I'm trying to figure out where the hell I'm even gonna put him. Plus they have Falcon coming out and I'm pretty sure he's gonna take up some major real estate as well, but I can at least put him on a flight stand. Might be time to start hanging Goblin gliders and Annihiluses (Annihili?) and such off the ceiling to clear some shelf space.

Thanks for the info though.

No problem! Lots of great figures coming. Can’t wait!

SHF Hulk IW should be dropping any day now. Really looking forward to the darker shade of green used on this figure. Initially I was looking forward to getting Bucky but the head sculpt just isn't working for me. I'd like to to see this at retail before buying.

Yes! Release day for Hulk is tomorrow! Mine’s coming from Japan to the states so, it’ll be a couple of weeks at least. Can’t wait.

3233rafael · 11-16-2018, 10:27 PM

^ And...just to add to this last post. I just got notification that the IW Rocket Raccoon just shipped! I had forgotten about him. He’ll arrive before Hulk then.

3233rafael · 11-17-2018, 08:24 AM

Photos are starting to come out of the cards...

kollekxon · 11-17-2018, 09:34 AM

Hulk looks great. Those face sculpts look significantly better than the first release.

redfox · 11-17-2018, 01:36 PM

Looking forward to the Scarlet Witch figure reveal that's rumored for Tokyo Comic Con. I passed on the Legends repaint for IW, but I'll probably go ALL-IN for SHF.

Tomax · 11-17-2018, 01:43 PM

hulk height?

He’s to scale with the 6’ figures but for actual height I’ll have to wait until I measure it personally.

ok, i did some research. he is slightly taller than apocalypse/legends. apocal measures 8 1/4" so this Hulk will be 8 1/2" perfect scale for me. i have a feeling this will be the new definitive Hulk for collectors. the last legends hulk was too big and the last SHF hulk was weird

Nice! Really looking forward to it.

No pics yet, just a tease on Tamashii's website for a reveal at Toyko Comic Con on 11/30-12/2.
https://tamashii.jp/event/376/

The tease on their site is in Japanese, but roughly translates to:

"From the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) work group, including [Avengers/Infinity War] that was recorded blockbuster, "S.h.figuarts Scarlet Witch (Avengers/Infinity War), etc., will be exhibited at once a number of lineup including the first announcement!"

Oh wow! After I replied to your first post, that’s the first website I looked at but I couldn’t translate on my phone. TCC is from Nov. 30 - Dec 2. I am dying to see this figure. I’ve been waiting for her since they have hinted she would be part of the lineup way back when. Thanks for the info. That made my day!!

3233rafael · 11-17-2018, 03:40 PM

I wonder if she’ll be Civil War or Infinity War? Either way, it’s great news!

EDIT: Traslation says Infinity. What outfit though?

3233rafael · 11-17-2018, 04:04 PM

The traslation for the Iron Man article seems interesting too. New stuff coming!!

I’m having issues with my phone. Can’t copy n paste for now so I took a screenshot.

3233rafael · 11-19-2018, 03:49 PM

Found a Japanese article with photos that compares the height of the two SHF Hulks (Versions 1.0 and 2.0). Here's a couple of photos from that article and the link if you care to see this because it has a lot of cool pics!

LINK: S.H.??????? ???(???????????) ???? : ?????

The Hulks are about the same height so I threw in some old photos with the 1.0 Hulk and you can see that they will scale well.

That’s so weird. The video clearly shows how much taller he is but in that photo for the Japan article they appear to be even. For now, I’ll go with the video. In photos, sometimes knees are bent and you can’t tell from a straight angle.

Lol...but SHF only does MCU. She’ll either be wearing the burgundy jacket or the grey trench coat with the blue jeans.
