It feels like it's been months since we had one of these, but with people starting to get Hot Pants and Rei due out next week it felt like a good time for one.Discuss SAS here.
Got Rei on order. Just gotta wait for delivery. Also picked up some bootlegs of SAS BIG Jotaro and Star Platinum. Overall quality isn't actually that bad. Would recommend for how cheap they are. Can post pics later if anyone wants.
>>11167577Just got my hot pants funnily enough.>>11167618Oh neat how much were the bootlegs? I saw SP going for 10k yen which was tempting, but honestly for me the scale is just bad. I'd rather they just redo part 3 in 1/12.
>>11167701Gyro 3rd is nice as well.>>11167577>>11167618Rei is out Friday I believe.
>>11167701She looks nice.
>>11167701I like how Araki designs a character for the 1800s by dressing them like a 2200s sci fi character.
Rei is out in Japan.Does nobody collect this line anymore? Seems there's more interest in Skibidi toilets.
>>11170320I got Jagi, I missed the preorder on Rei due to IRL stuff. The others don't interest me as much
>>11170320I do. I have Rei on pre-order, but probably won't get him untill November. I hope we can see painted versions of Toru and Wonder of U by next WF.
>>11167577Scary monsters is also up for PO. Not articulated, but it is being promoted alongside the SAS.I like the look of it so ordered.
>>11167577damn i’d collect these if they weren’t so fucking expensive on EbayI got like 2 of them, DIO with the worst fucking hips ever, SPTW (p4 star platinum), and a green star platinum that is separated at the waist.
>>11171670>ebayBuy on Mandarake or Amiami, my dude. 9 times outta 10 they're wicked overpriced on ebay
Anyone here getting the dig action hnk figure. funny how small they are compared to the SAS.>>11171706This
>>11170320I recently got into SAS, mostly for JoJo but wouldn't be opposed for some HnK stuff (mostly for the punch effects). I really like the effort put into the paint jobs. Wipes the floor with Revoltech, Figma and SHF.
>>11171927Yeah. The punch effects for kenshiro were done really well. I have most of the jojo line, only skipping the clears and swarovskis as they do nothing for me.The painting has always been nice, along with all the tiny accessories and attention to detail. My other problem now is the older sculpts and articulation feeling dated. Especially for part 3. I really want a new Jotaro since he's my favourite joestar.
Not really the colors I was expecting. I really wanted Orange Gappy.
>>11173216Soft and Wet does look pretty neat with all those different colors.
>>11173218Purple Joesph. WF exclusive along with Ringo Roadagain
>>11173230
Well it's only taking 7 years, but Part 7 is slowly coming together. I'll probably have to eventually do some major shuffling to get the display down with Ringo and Wikipedia coming out, but it works.
>>11173216Out of these 4, this is the only one I'm disappointed in. Medicos really loves their blue color schemes I guess.
>>11173216>>11173218I was expecting blue based on the cutouts as they always give a clue with that. Was hoping >>11173230 to be a bit more pink though.>>11173233Can't wait for this!
>>11173230These were THE Joseph colors for me when I read the manga. Shame it is locked in WF jail.
>>11173216>>11173218>>11173230>>11173230Forgot to mention that these are all going up for pre-order in October.
So those Funny Valentine and D4C colorways are stuck in purgatory for another few years huh?
>>11173548Gappy and S+W are the only standard PO's. Joseph and Ringo going up for WF lottery though. I hope I win again.>>11173507Just enter the medicos lottery and hope for the best. That's how I got everything so far. I think the one I didn't win was green fugo and had to buy off YAJ.
>>11173705Same. I managed to win Black Fugo, Weather Report (stand), Hot Pants and Gyro 3rd through the lotto. Here's hoping I luck out again.
>>11173705Is the lotto easy to enter if you don't know Japanese? I've bought from Japanese-language-only sites a number of times, so if it's relatively straightforward I should be able to manage
>>11173894The previous times I've used it, I managed with just Google Translate. The only thing you need is a Japanese address however. Any credit card will work, I never had any trouble with them.
>>11173903Sweet, thanks. May try my luck one of these days
>>11173233Holy fuck he looks incredible
>>11173918Best of luck to you. I use Big in Japan as my forwarding address after an Anon in a previous thread recommened it.
hey guys noob here. Does this line still hold up or is it one of those things that is just mediocre-OK compared to modern figures from likes like Figuarts, Figma, etc. I feel like this used to be one of the more popular lines on /toy a couple years ago, but line seems to not pumping stuff out? Anthonycustoms hasn't done a review on one of these in years.I've been looking at getting a Jotaro. maybe a couple others. going to do some more research, but just from the getgo my initial impression is this line is just OK, while also being stupid-expensive at the same time(at this point anyway). which in that case would be a good cue for me to just abort from the get go. would highly appreciate any more knowledge anons sharing their insight.
>>11175240My only issue with the line, for better or worse, is they never embraced the "2.0" formula. Considering the line came out in 2009 (at the same time as SHF DB), buying the Part 3 Jotaro now is the equivalent of buying a 1.0 SSJ Goku.The scale, sculpt, engineering, etc. has improved with later parts, particularly part 7, which only started 7 years ago, as opposed to 15, but by this point we're really due 2.0's and not just repaints.At this point I can only recommened the Steel Ball Run figures, and maybe Stone Ocean,
>>11175279Thanks for your take. DB SHF is actually the main thing I collect and your definetly right that they look like 1.0s from that era. think I'm just going to chill then. I assume it's only a matter of time before they or someone else starts doing "2.0s" which would be a much better time to jump in. Just seems way too popular of an IP for this to be the best ever especially with how much shit gets figures these days. whether thats a year or 5 years from now though, who the fuck knows. Thanks a lot again
>>11167701I got mine for about $25 or so each. I was expecting them to be loose, lightweight shoddy pieces of shit but to a point they can actually be decently posed and played with. YMMV of course but I'm satisfied enough since I already own a legit Jotaro/Dio/The World to go with, so not as angsty over not owing Star Platinum.I get what you mean about the scale. They're practically old Play Arts Kai before they majorly shifted to 10-12 inch. Not much to put them with so they're basically their own display pieces.
Well I got an email telling me that Rei arrived at my warehouse. Still going to be a while before I get him.
>>11178843Nice. Mine shipped on Saturday, but it's airmail, so probably won't arrive until the middle of October.
>>11175807Eh, I think the issue is blown out of proportion. Granted, I don't have many part 3 figures, but the ones I have are gorgeous. The articulation is limited compared to other lines, even the newest releases, but they're still plenty expressive and fun to pose. YMMV of course.>>11173444This is really nice. Think I've seen it somewhere before - are you active in the discord/reddit?
>>11179342Another Rei-fag here. Mines on the way, but why does DHL keep delaying my shit? It was on the delivery truck yesterday, but got put on hold. It's supposed to come today, but they suddenly changed the time.
>>11179534As someone who owns them all including all 4 jotaro colors, I don't think it's blowing it out of proportion to say they look janky by today's standards.
>>11180178I think it's only really Pol and Jotaro 1.0 that look weird. The rest still hold up for me
Look at this smug son of a bitch.
>>11181518Neat! Wish I'd paid dhl now.
>>11181518More pics please!
Joseph third's WF bonus.
>>11184488Also a speech plate
>>11184490Ditto for Ringo.
>>11184488I hope the Fist of the North Star line will get WF exclusives or different colors. Rei in his movie colors would be cool.
>>11184523I'm not seeing a huge different outside of the darker belt and green wrist gauntlets. I think i'd prefer a purple version like the old 200x
>>11184523>>11184565Like this, but at the same time it would have made me getting 2 to display with separate heads redundant, lol
bump
>>11173606They going to do a pink Funny Valentine? White is nice, but pink is the color I think of when I think of him.
>>11192268Not really pink, but this is what Valentine 2nd is going to be.
Got my Rei figs. Thought I'd play around and try 200x Bat accessories on one and they work surprisingly well. I also got the Dig Actions. They're sooooo tiny!!
>>11193373Rei looks great. Modern SAS figures are so underrated it's criminal. Some of the best figures coming from Japan in terms of paint and accessories.
>>11193695Agreed. They've come a long way since the early releases. The screaming faces in particular have improved.
Comparison next to digaction kenshiro. I can't believe the amount of articulation for such a small fig. Just wish the prices were more reasonable as I'd love the army build the zeed members.
