I got the Figuarts Frieren today from a local shop and honestly I'm not sure why she got so much hate? She looks pretty spot-on to the character, her faces are great, she's nicely poseable and well built (and, heh heh, "well built"). Really want Fern now.Any other figures that get a lot of shit that don't deserve it?
>>11814728Does anyone even own SHF Buzz? Still the only good toy that came out of that shit movie, but most of the praise are for the spaceships
>>11814728I don't think it's that bad of a figure, but I disagree on the faces being spot on, and there's something off about the bangs sculpt too. I owned the Figuarts since release and recently got the figma, and I think the figma is easily the best figure with higher quality and better joints than the Figuarts. In fact, I'll even say that joints wise it's one of the best figmas in my collection if not the best, with every single one of them bring the perfect tightness, and I own over a hundred of these things.If anything I'd say that the Figma is the overhated one just because it's bigger than what people want. But as a figure by itself is fantastic.
>>11814728Don't worry anon, we hate the figma one even more, at least shf Frieren is cheaper
>>11814753The Figma looks good but I have no idea why they made her so fucking huge. She's supposed to be a petite character too.
>>11815416Saber is supposed to be as small as her and the figma is the same height as figma Frieren, so...
>>11815422But frierens head is double the size. Its not just the height that's the issue, its the proportions. She'll a completely different scale. Probably fits with SHF Gon and Killua.
>>11814753You saying this like the figma is not 2x the price, shf won
Yeah. Figuarts Won.
>>11814728People were shitting on it because they thought 'the competition' would deliver a better figure, but that never happened. Now people are starting to settle for it.As for its flaws, it's more limited in range than one would hope, but at this point, you can just get the soft goods for her and enjoy those if you really want the range. >Really want Fern now.She DEFINITELY needs soft goods. Unlike Frieren, who is still somewhat mobile with her regular plastic clothes, Fern is practically a traffic cone. Now, I guess you could argue Fern doesn't need to do more than stand there and hold a staff, but sometimes I'd like to have her sit and chill, or something.>>11814753I think the faces and hair look better than on the Figma, to be honest. The hair is weirdly cut up and looks kinda mushy, and the faces look more like a typical anime girl wearing Frieren's clothes. SHF Frieren actually makes me think of Frieren. But fair enough, I get that these sorts of things are subjective.
>>11815528I don't want to really feed into shitposting wars about figures and lines, but I did notice the Figma has a pretty noticeable gap/cleft when you use the joint below the belt.But admittedly, the Figma also just gets more range in general there (unless you get soft goods, I think?) so make of that what you will.
>>11814728Depends on the source of said hate. There's a lot of toys here that seemingly get a lot of hate, but it's really a couple of anons shitting on them repeatedly. SHF Frieren was more or less well received pretty much everywhere else from what I remember with the main complaint being people wanting soft goods for increased range. The first SHF Guts on the other hand is a figure that was practically universally hated.
>>11815588I learn to ignore the shitposting here and just go off aftermarket value. If a figure sells out and becomes impossible to obtain it's good. If it tanks and goes down it sucks. If you're on the fence it's best to watch the trajectory closely to avoid missing out.
>>11815454>But frierens head is double the sizeIt's bigger, but double? You're exaggerating by a lot there. Also if the heights are correct and the proportions don't match, that's just the differences in art style between franchises.>>11815495If being cheaper is all you care about, sure.>>11815583>I think the faces and hair look better than on the Figma, to be honestI just can't agree to that. It doesn't matter if I compare it to the manga or the anime art, she looks more off than the Figma to me.Again, I have both, and I don't think the Figuarts is bad. But the Figma is just the superior as an action figure. The built, quality and range of the joints is just better. As it should be given the price, really. All in all I'm glad I'm not autistic about scale. I will just enjoy both figures for what they are.
>>11815638>All in all I'm glad I'm not autistic about scale.You said it. You admit to just blindly accepting the figures biggest flaw which arguable renders it a failure in many people eyes. The same reason people didn't collect Storm, the same reason people didn't collect DIG Action.Although shorter, the figuarts just looks better placed with other 1/12 figures and not like a giant baby.
>>11814728Buying it anyway.Those assholes at HLJ won't let me cancel that oversized figma POS made from shit plastic so I may as well get something to distract me.Not to mention be able to complete the trio faster (And hopefully cheaper if Fern gets re-released).
>>11814728because it's a shit marvel series
>>11815713Hopefully they get Stark soon.
>>11815588>The first SHF Guts on the other hand is a figure that was practically universally hated.with a good reason. it was a hand grenade, like wano zoro.
>>11815636That's usually a good indication, though sometimes a series or character is just so popular and a subpar figure's the only real option so it shoots up anyway while a good figure of a character from a less popular show tanks.>>11815984True. I saw multiple reviews where each one fell apart, so it put me off both.
>>11814732No one hates this figure those of us who own it speak it's praises and how cool it is, the problem is the movie itself isn't good and has no fans so it's hard to justify the figure to most people. But I've never seen anyone disparage the toy itself.
>>11814728Im not paying 80 dollars for import slop that i cant play with.
>>11816827t. hamhands
>>11814753I’m really annoyed that Figma Frieren is so big because like you said, she’s pretty fabulous and feels really nice in hand. However she looks 1/10 so the only characters I can put her with are Snail Shell/Chinese figures. I think it’s not the figma’s height but the overall proportions that make her look too big? Weird. And annoying, it feels very monkey’s paw.
>>11814728this figure isnt "overhated"its just that one retarded anti-SHF spammer that wont shut up about anything SHF. now that figma's is out, it's clear that this was the better figure
>>11815726Marvel does this anime? That's wild man. I've never seen it myself but I guess you must be right and this is a marvel owned and produced anime.
>>11816751don't see why people should avoid it just because the movie was bad. You can hate the movie, but can own the polar opposite great figure. No need to worry about giving Disney money neither since it flopped anyway, and all its other toys became Ollie's fodder
>>11817162It's pretty simple to understand, for some people myself included having a figure on display that reminds you of a character/movie you hate isn't something we care about no matter how good the figure is. I want good figures of characters I like, as that makes them way more enjoyable and engaging than "random figure that's pretty good but I hate the source/character". And luckily enough there's plenty of them out there. I already own hundreds of toys without the need to buy characters I dislike.
>>11817089Yeah, I remember the consensus broadly being: "it's alright", "it's serviceable", and only one person tried to astroturf that it was universally hated by dredging up his own earlier shitposts from the archive and making a collage out of them.Of course it gets way better with soft goods, but that's just the nature of the beast. The alternative, as people have seen, is to make permanently windy and strange looking skirts and disjointed mantles on obvious joints.
