It was the Shfiguarts Obi Wan series Darth Vader. it sold out in it's first run, only released in Japan. they're supposed to be rereleasing it under the New Hope tag sometime in the future. I'd check hobbylinkjapan or hobbygenki to see if they have it for preorder or if theres any stock available

Some beautiful work here, it is very cool to have an actual head underneath the helmet where normally with 3D prints it is just a full one piece, sculpted head, and helmet.
@boredfigures15 күн бұрын
thanks man. yeah, I wanted to make something that kept the toyetic nature of their helmets. having one solid print of it all combined might help improve proportions, but once you've got used to the black series proportions with the way they put helmets on, it starts to feel weird if it isn't that size. thanks for checking the video!

I picked up the regular Shredder, and the "battle ready" Turtles from the IDW run, and the Krang in the Walker. They have generally been improving their quality over the lines they make. Things are still a bit ugly here and there - the elbows and knee joints need major work; their choices for when to use harder vs softer plastic could use some work - and maybe even a bit more of a harder plastic for their softer parts as I find they flex a bit TOO much. Then some parts I don't understand - like the straight cut for the bicep on Shredder, and his upper torso - it's solid plastic and barely moves on the swivel. A lot of that could be redesigned to look and function better. If they keep improving like they have been, then they will really be making some great action figures. For now, I think they are okay - not the best, but surely not the worst.

TLS have improved massively. They still have work to do but I’m happy I got the Raph today.. he’s so much better than the last LTS figure I got.

I’ll support them. They just have to keep improving. They’re getting there. I’d still get these guys over ML tho.. which I dropped over a year ago.

Otherwise people who don’t have any “hobbies” don’t really know what to do with their free time or feel like they have no drive of ambition when it comes to anything. I don’t care if your passionate about buying and selling cars, pocket knives, spoons, watches, comics, whatever. We all need something to give our attention to and give us an escape.

Hell yea!! Nice to see my boys Malgus and the “kenobi” Vader in your top 10 bro! Malgus was second in my top ten for Black Series of 2023. Just an imposing and amazing sculpt. For him being a bigger guy the articulation is AMAZING. And personally I find it to be the best softgoods in the entire line (imo). The way they glued/engineered the hood to sit on him hooded AND sun-hooded just looks great and has a natural flow with the cape. That kenobi vader is also just a great representation of him for newer collectors or people who didn’t have a chance to get the ESB or ANH Vaders. That is a figure in the line that should be regularly available year round. Such a iconic character and design. Not gonna lie those DBZ figs were pretty dope and the Master Weng was insanely dope!

man don't worry bout it! comment away haha, doesn't bother me one bit, and you know the KZread algorithm loves the engagement 😂 but I agree, Malgus was just so good in every regard, when I started collecting I didn't think they would ever do him, let alone so soon and so perfectly. Ahsoka probably would've been on my list had my preorder come in, but I'm still waitin on BBTS to get her in.. and man, that Shfiguarts Vader is unreal. I was rocking the Black Series ESB Vader before, and it's great, but SHF blew it out of the water. shame it is so hard go get now and the resell prices are so high. I managed to get mine for under it's retail on a last minute sale on HobbyLinkJapan, $68 shipped. a bit pricey compared to a Black Series, but for my boy Vader, a perfect figure at that price was well worth it. And Master Weng is an original character from Maestro Union, I'm just a sucker for Eastern mythology and anything in that vein. highly recommend checking Maestro Union out, they're bout to go hard in 2024 with their own original characters, and tho they're pricier than a Black Series, they are packed with accessories and big ass chonky figures.

I love to see the messy process, very essence of Larson. TBS best line of the year, pretty unique choice, but I agree they're really honing in articulation. People dog on no accessories but overlook excellent wardrobe and (usually) really good likeness.

absolutely agree, the end of the year waves began to drop the ball a bit, but there were still some gems sprinkled in here and there. I think I'm partial to the price point too haha, though more accessories and extra hands it always welcomed. Not everyone's choice, but I think more than anything the line just surprised me, as my previous black series experiences were pretty lack luster. lots of great figures this year from all companies, but as far as a line with many great figures in the year, it felt right for me 😊 thanks for checking out my channel! love your vids and the longform appreciation of the artform that is figures!

man don't worry bout it! comment away haha, doesn't bother me one bit, and you know the KZread algorithm loves the engagement 😂 but I agree, Malgus was just so good in every regard, when I started collecting I didn't think they would ever do him, let alone so soon and so perfectly. Ahsoka probably would've been on my list had my preorder come in, but I'm still waitin on BBTS to get her in.. and man, that Shfiguarts Vader is unreal. I was rocking the Black Series ESB Vader before, and it's great, but SHF blew it out of the water. shame it is so hard go get now and the resell prices are so high. I managed to get mine for under it's retail on a last minute sale on HobbyLinkJapan, $68 shipped. a bit pricey compared to a Black Series, but for my boy Vader, a perfect figure at that price was well worth it. And Master Weng is an original character from Maestro Union, I'm just a sucker for Eastern mythology and anything in that vein. highly recommend checking Maestro Union out, they're bout to go hard in 2024 with their own original characters, and tho they're pricier than a Black Series, they are packed with accessories and big ass chonky figures. Thanks for checking it out! try not to fall into the figure rabbithole like I did 😂 but I can't promise my videos might not make you haha
@@boredfigures lol. Damn straight to the algorithm part. I feel ya bro. Yea that padawan ahsoka was absolutely perfect to me in every way. She was #1 on my list. Hasbro straight COOOOKED on this one. She deserves it too! Man iv been trying not to touch the shfiguarts but it’s becoming more and more difficult lol. Eastern mythology is interesting! I don’t know much about it, I’m more of a Scandinavian/norse mythology guy myself. But I can’t not acknowledge the genuine authenticity of eastern culture. I’m gonna check Maestro out some day.
Yooo if you still got the file for that Hobart brown headsculpt I’ll pay ya to print one for me lol. It doesn’t need to be painted I could whip that up myself
for sure man! I'll hyu soon about it 🙏🏼
Dude. What a beautiful collection. Brought a tear to my eye lol. This is a damn good video man. But you know that already. You really got me inspired to up my editing skills soon. Iv got slot to learn and this video shows me that. Can’t wait to see more my friend.
ay man, that's just a skill that comes with time. authenticity is alot harder to find and you've got that 🙏🏼 if it inspires you, then you'll get there in due time. you ever have questions or need a point in the right direction, don't hesitate to ask. I ain't no gatekeeper 😂 I wanna see everyone make art and videos that represent who they are. thanks for checking my channel out brother 🙏🏼
@@boredfigures much appreciated man! Thanks for the offer! I will definitely keep you in mind as I learn and grow as a “KZreadr”. Hakuna Matata man! No thanks needed. I plan on checking out more. I really dig the vibe you put off and I like how much respect you have for this hobby and you make that very clear in your demeanor. Your knowledge on the many lines is also so dope to me. I’m mostly a Star Wars guy. But I do like some of the marvel legends and McFarland stuff I see sometimes. I can just tell you live and breath this stuff. Looking forward to checking out more of your content man! And new stuff! MTFBWY.
@@TheStonedMandalorian and also with you man 🙏🏼 haha. Star Wars is my bread and butter, but I just love characters of all kinds. This hobby took a strange hold of me, for sure haha
das our goat!
Nice! I have a similar setup. It's sorta "organized chaos". Great video and insight into your collection 🔥🔥🔥👍
thanks man! like I said in the vid, the chaos tells a story haha. feeds that creativity in my eyes. also thanks for showing the Instagram some love! haha 😂
Excellent review job. I still prefer the black series 😂
fair enough! still not a bad figure at all, outside of this one it's my second preference! It's a great figure!
Sick! Started lookin at the joytoy frontline chaos series and they’re so sick
I think you'd really like em 🙏🏼
This one was worth the wait! I loved that ssj4 Vegeta as well, but the legs had a similar issue to the trunks, loved him too but the QC made it hard for me to consider him. That son wu kong figure though! I may have to order that book you suggested off of Amazon after I pay all the bills this week lol. Keep it up fam, awesome video.
damn man, thats unfortunate. my Vegetas legs were perfect, all his joints were the right level of tension to be sturdy but move easy. Hate to see yours have the problems my Trunks had 😭 if they hadn't had a weird QC issue with alot of their figs this year, I think SHFiguarts Dragon Ball line might've been my figure line of the year too. Damn.. And yeah man, I love the Wukong sm. When you manage to get that book, lmk what you think!
I just love that it feels like bored figures used the whole “top ten” list as an excuse to showcase and gush about all his fav figures lol. #wholemood
you already kno 😂😂
Super interesting picks! And loved the amount of figures shown off. Sticking to a strict ten is so limiting imo, so a larger selection was more interesting to see talked about. Will def be looking into JoyToys for future releases!!
glad you enjoyed it! they're definitely worth looking into
hope everyone enjoyed their holiday and is ready for another great year of figure collecting! excited to see what 2024 yields for us! this was definitely a long one haha, but it could have been much longer. for spans of minutes I'd sit there pondering trying to decide, so I tried cutting out all the silent bits of thought to make a more enjoyable watching experience. I hope it wasnt too much 😂 thank you guys for an awesome end to the year of 2023, can't wait for another year of fun!
I love to see the messy process, very essence of Larson. TBS best line of the year, pretty unique choice, but I agree they're really honing in articulation. People dog on no accessories but overlook excellent wardrobe and (usually) really good likeness. What let me down was rushed Ahsoka waves, mid RoTJ 40th, and whatever is causing their release dates to stretch to 3-5 month windows. Love the channel, looking forward to more in 2024!
absolutely agree, the end of the year waves began to drop the ball a bit, but there were still some gems sprinkled in here and there. I think I'm partial to the price point too haha, though more accessories and extra hands it always welcomed. Not everyone's choice, but I think more than anything the line just surprised me, as my previous black series experiences were pretty lack luster. lots of great figures this year from all companies, but as far as a line with many great figures in the year, it felt right for me 😊 thanks for checking out my channel! love your vids and the longform appreciation of the artform that is figures!
interested to see something about the art of making a great figure, if lacking some details/accessories, within a certain budget 🤔🤔🤔🤔
We need the slight long barbell joint for his neck for the proportions of the cape and neck
that would absolutely send it over the top. the limited head articulation is probably it's biggest downfall imo. proportions wise I'm not so sure, but a longer barbell to get more range for sure
Got mine before Christmas it is one of my favourites in my collection for sure the best Vader figure at this scale for sure
preeeeach
Great review, especially appreciate the tips for posing the cape. Cloth tunic gives him an easy W for import Vaders, but I wish they reworked the codpiece and ankles to account for increased lower body range.
agreed, ankles could have been much better. def can be a bummer. I don't find the codpiece to obstructive, but it is a bit phat 😂 Vader packin I guess haha
Perfect? The cape is a disaster 😢😢
I disagree! but I can understand the frustration for some! it's certainly a challenge to wrangle in but I've got everything I've wanted out of it! thanks for commenting!
It’s not that bad in person I was anxious about the cape when buying but when he came he looked awesome
@@MiataManDan Such a shame I can’t share pictures of my custom cape on youtube all I can say is you guys are way too optimistic It’s definitely not the same cape as the promo image it’s already a scam and you guys still think it’s fine this is outrageous haha
Not the cape but the short barbell joint on his neck sir. We must get the slight long one to prevent the proportions of his cape and neck
This is a good review and you're a good reviewer. Just found this channel today and subbed up. One suggestion. Grab yourself a backdrop to hide the background 😁
thank you! I'll definitely consider one for situations like this I can pop in, but I do enjoy the vibe of just a guy playing with figures at his desk, so that'll likely be my vibe. one to have for specific scanarios would be great tho! thanks for checking me out!
Your custom Luke that you show in the size comparisons looks really great ! Did it require something special except some heat ?
thank you! I did have to model and 3d print a peg that was shorter. the one in the Dagobah Luke was too short and the one that came on the Mando Luke was too long. I like the dishevelled look it gives him! like Jedi/possibly Sith Luke fighting on Kamino or somewhere with rain! thanks for checking it out!
@@boredfigures not something I can do on my own then 😞 thank you very much for your answer anyway ! Yeah, this headsculpt makes it look like he is actually getting into some action !
@PyRoAnThraaX even if you can't get a hold of a 3d printer, using some sticky tack on the peg is always an option if you're really attached to the look!
@@boredfigures I think I'll try it !
