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?
>>
>>11814728
Does 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
>>
>>11814728
I 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.
>>
>>11814728
Don't worry anon, we hate the figma one even more, at least shf Frieren is cheaper
>>
>>11814753
The Figma looks good but I have no idea why they made her so fucking huge. She's supposed to be a petite character too.
>>
>>11815416
Saber is supposed to be as small as her and the figma is the same height as figma Frieren, so...
>>
>>11815422
But 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.

People 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.
>>11814753
I 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.
>>
>>11815528
I 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.
>>
>>11814728
Depends 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.
>>
>>11815588
I 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 size
It'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.

>>11815495
If being cheaper is all you care about, sure.

>>11815583
>I think the faces and hair look better than on the Figma, to be honest
I 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.
>>
>>11814728
Buying 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).

with a good reason. it was a hand grenade, like wano zoro.
>>
>>11815636
That'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.

>>11815984
True. I saw multiple reviews where each one fell apart, so it put me off both.
>>
>>11814732
No 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.

I’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.
>>

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

don'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
>>
>>11817162
It'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.
>>
>>11817089
Yeah, 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.

It doesn't show in that pic, but the figma hair still has sculpted lines, they're just fewer and less pronounced. It looks closer to the show art most of the time to me.

At this point every single post talking shit about the figma just feels like Figuarts buyers grasping at straws and trying to convince themselves they got the best figure of the two.
>>
>>11818501
Talk about projection. There is only one person on this board grasping at straws and glazing the figma despite its numerous flaws being pointed out and that's you. You're as bad as necafag.
>>
>>11818501
So you're saying we shouldn't trust our lying eyes?
>>
>>11818101
For the smiling face, I'll actually say the Figma looks more accurate. Mostly because the eyes are more closed, giving her that more patronizing look, and the smile is wider. The one on the Figuarts is just a regular smile.
For the neutral, though, I honestly feel like the SHF captures Frieren better. I also prefer the darker outline on the eyebrows.
I kinda hope SHF plans to make more Frierens after other characters. Maybe one in her nightgown, or something. A good excuse to give her extra faces.
>>
>>11818101
Figma looks like Frieren has been kinda stretched horizontally, which I think is why she looks so disconcerting.

I actually feel the same way. I think the Figma is better overall, but the size isn't ideal unless you plan on displaying her with Marvel Legends. As a figure of its own, it's far more ambitious, like articulated hair which actually looks great when posed dynamically. The SHF is still pretty decent even though people kept shitting on it retroactively for being a supposed "traffic cone". So I guess you could say both figures are overhated.
>>
>>11814728

Seconded. I really thought SHF Okarun looked good when we saw promos. It kind of looked like a statue made into a figure, and I liked that quality.
Then it released, and wow, what a stinker. And then Momo released, and again, wow- what a stinker. Complete, unmitigated Ls on SHF for those.
But companies seem to trade good and bad figures like that. For instance the SHF Gabimaru vs the Figma Gabimaru.
Or the My Hero Academia lines.
Or Chainsaw Man.

I honestly don't think the open mouth face can be compared since they're not the same face, but I'll take Figma anyway because I've always thought the face looked weird on the SHF
For neutral, I think it's SHF

I agree, but it just feels to me the SHF is going for that face when she's being scolded, and the figma when's she's seeing someone being silly. I guess it's the mouth and ears position what gives me that impression.

For all the other faces I like the figma better.

Figuarts Frieren doesn't really get much hate, it's fine. Figuarts Fern on the other hand, is a plastic traffic cone with a blobby face.

This one is pretty true. I think her face is fine, but a little soft. (Maybe ok if you matte spray it)
But she definitely needs soft goods if you want her to do more than just stand there.
I really wish Tamashii would just release 1.5s or something. Reissues with soft goods built in.
We know they can do it, because they did it for that one Voldemort fig that shelfwarmed.

I see no issue other than being too big. I saw the Figuarts in person (boxed, mind) and passed up on it seeing how much more dynamic the figma looked in photos.
>>
>>11821861
>I see no issue other than being too big.
I think that's the main problem and it seems especially weird because Figma have done figures smaller than the SHF Frieren all the time. It's not like she's "Chinese 1/12" huge, she still looks OK next to other Figmas but she's supposed to be quite short. Also annoying because it means any future Figmas for the series will be similarly oversized, so if both lines continue you can't really mix and match.
I'm not even a massive scale autist, but it just seems a weird choice. It's not even like a Sailor Moon artstyle situation (if SHF Usagi was scaled according to her official measurements she'd be 11cm tall, same height as Figma Madoka Kaname, but because of the artstyle she's much taller), and the SHF looks good next to most Figmas, so...
>>
>>11821885
I don't see her next to my other figures and think she looks oversized, but Fern will surely stand out if they ever make her.
>>
>>11821885
>and the SHF looks good next to most Figmas, so...
Frieren by itself sure, but if you add Fern to the mix you can tell how undersized they are in comparison.

>>11821861
As someone who owns both, the figma with her better articulation and flowing clothes is way better for action poses, and the Figuarts works better for relaxed poses. Quality wise the figma is superior (one of the nicest figmas I own in that regard) and I think most of her faces are closer to the source, but the Figuarts is still a nice and cheaper alternative, specially if you care about her looking small with other figures.

At the end of the day, having both options is a good thing.

Better range than either the Figma or vanilla SHF, actual yellow trim and not the random gold and no windy pre-posed skirt.

>>
>>11821990
>I'd rather just get soft goods for the SHF t b h.
>Better range than either the Figma or vanilla SHF
Not really. Shoulders, elbows, neck, ab crunch and hair will still have better range on the figma. Also the cape is moveble enough on the figma to not hinder arm articulation.

The only thing better on a figuarts with added soft goods would be the hips. And funnily enough the figma hip joints also have better range, so that figure benefits even more if you change the skirt for a soft goods one. To make it even better, you don't even need to cut anything, as the figma is designed so you can easily remove the skirt, contrary to the figuarts.

yeah, uh, problem.. the back of the capelet on figma frieren is stuck to the back
and even if it wasn't, you can't find any soft goods with that stupid gold trim
>Shoulders, elbows, neck, ab crunch and hair will still have better range on the figma.
Fairly sure that's only the case for neck and hair.
>>
>>11822037
>yeah, uh, problem.. the back of the capelet on figma frieren is stuck to the back
As I said before, the cape doesn't interfere with the shoulder movement due to being articulated, so you don't need to replace it.
>and even if it wasn't, you can't find any soft goods with that stupid gold trim
I'd argue that it's easier to find gold soft goods than dark mustard (or whatever the figuarts color is called) ones. The figma gold isn't even all that shiny in person, I think people are being fooled by the promo shots and pics under strong light/flash.

>Fairly sure that's only the case for neck and hair.
I own both and checked before posting. Shoulders, elbows and hips also have more range on the figma.
>>
>>11822073
>Shoulders, elbows and hips also have more range on the figma.
Forgot about the ab crunch. She has a torso joint like the figuarts but also the hated "marvel legends" joint. The cool thing here is that you can't tell it's there due to her shirt design, and gives her more articulation in that regard too.
>>
>>11822073
There's already soft goods out there. I don't know if there'll be any for the Figma.

Pure jealousy, he really wanted to be liked by /ctg/ lel

I kinda wish I could remove the cape to mod it because I’m autistic about the collar, but I really don’t want to mess with such an expensive figure like that. I’ll definitely be trying a soft goods skirt on mine though, her range is already pretty good without it but I want moar.

If you weren't so keen to defend the Figuarts no matter what you would have noticed that the conversation is about dynamism, not how good the figure looks to you. Unless you're trying to argue that the Figuarts sculpt is more dynamic, proving to everyone here you're deluding yourself hard.

Not replying to you directly now, but I must say that after reading comments about this matter for several days here I just don't get why some (not all, I'm sure) of the Figuarts owners are so incapable of accepting that the Figma has some advantages over the Figuarts. Do you really need to believe that the figure you bought is superior in absolutely every regard to be content with your purchase? And this kind of behavior happens in some generals too when there's a character with several figures, people NEED their figure of choice to be completely superior to the point of grasping at straws. At the end of the day it just feels like they want to convince themselves more than anyone else. They're just toys, and in this case the Figuarts is a nice figure anyways so why having a problem with the figma being better in some regards and people saying so?

Anyways, as an owner of both Frierens I think both of them are enjoyable and have their own merits. Having options isn't a bad thing.

I dont own both so I have no horse in this race but I really dont see what the figma has in terms of advantage over the figuarts here other than being bigger if your collection is geared that way. both are bricks. from what I can see, figma has atrocious hair but a better looking smiling face

exactly so why are you taking it personally?

>people NEED their figure of choice to be completely superior to the point of grasping at straws. At the end of the day it just feels like they want to convince themselves more than anyone else
Yeah, looks like someone really need to prove the Figma is superior, is almost like he's trying to convince himself that he didn't waste a lot of money just for a slighty "better" figure and hates when people appreciate the Figuarts more

I don't really pay much heed to popular opinions. I gather most people dislike Bring Arts for being mediocre and overpriced, and I've never really heard praise for any specific figure, but I really love Erik. Some of his joints are weird, but they definitely nailed the look and feel of the high-agility thief archetype, plus twin daggers and a boomerang are super fun accessories. A sword would have been a nice bonus, but I can deal.

he's got a great silhouette, too. I'm in love with the articulated sash.

>No you
Thanks for proving the point with these replies.
The only reason I'm saying the figma is better than the Figuarts in some regards is because I'm able to compare both and I feel most of the figma criticism is way too forced and nitpicky, that's all there is to it. I'm not a brand loyalist and I don't need to come up with excuses to justify my purchases, the fact you immediately act like that's the case speaks more about you than me.

>I really dont see what the figma has in terms of advantage over the figuarts here other than being bigger if your collection is geared that way. both are bricks
The Figma isn't a brick at all though. The shoulders are unimpeded, the neck and ab range is good, and the flowing skirt doesn't block the hip joints all that much. All of that is better than the figuarts. Nonetheless I wouldn't call the Figuarts a brick either, even with the worse overall range. Maybe if you compare them to revoltech they suck articulation wise, but I guess or concepts of what a brick is differ.

Personally, I'd have been much more interested if we got a Pencilgon. She carries the show for me. Then maybe I'd have gotten Sunraku to go with her.

If not for the third act, I'd have bought the entire party. It was on track to be my favorite DQ until then. The figures had a lot of bang for their buck compared to current Bring Arts, too. Rereleasing the FFVII figures just for a single alternate weapon is some bullshit.

but the third act is literally the best part of the game

>>11824945
Strongly disagree. Basically undid all the consequences and character growth that made the story so good. Introducing time travel is almost never a good idea.

>>11824915
>No you
Well, yeah, because it does apply to you. You're (seemingly) projecting your insecurity over your purchase on others.
>and I feel most of the figma criticism is way too forced and nitpicky
Ok. You feel that. Doesn't mean people need to agree.

Unsolicited, off-topic blog incoming:

I think the reason so many people hate the third act is because they treat games like movies instead of games. In a movie, sure, having a final act that undoes armageddon/consequences/character growth is an awful idea, but in a video game like Dragon Quest which is supposed to be a heroic power fantasy about the power of friendship, why WOULDN'T you want to go back in time and undo the suffering/death of your friends, family, and in fact the entire world?

The best part is if you're an obsessive NPC-chatter like me, you notice all the little stories happening in the background as you revisit towns throughout the game, and one of the things that hits real hard after the cataclysm is that so many of these silly filler characters are just gone because they fucking died, and you see their friends and family mourning them. Then in the alternate timeline, you get to save them all and see the effect it has, firsthand. It's very entertaining and rewarding, from a gameplay perspective.

Besides, if you hate the true ending so much, there's literally nothing stopping you from putting down the controller after the first ending, especially since it's a long game to begin with. The third act is clearly reserved for those of us who actually want to save everyone. I think this prioritization of more gameplay in the name of heroism over narrative and character development is specifically one of the things that makes DQ11 stand out as an amazing GAME in a world of movies where you hold a controller.

That's a fair point. From a gameplay and wish fulfillment perspective it's always good to have more of something you enjoy and it's not like I hated everything about the third act. Personally, though, I've always found the story of games just as important as gameplay in RPGs/JRPGs even going back to the PS1 era before the success of games like TLOU started making more cinematic games the norm.

The bittersweet ending of act 2 was just so fresh and unique, especially among more recent JRPGs, that I loved it. Stripping that away and going for a more traditional happy ending(which is technically canon since it ties into DQ3) left me very underwhelmed. If I was to play it again, I probably would stop there, but on a first playthrough you don't really know the full extent of what's coming unless you've been spoiled.

Staying on topic, did you buy the whole party or just Erik? Always thought it was a shame they never made Hendrik. His armored look would've made a really cool figure.

I get where you're coming from. As much as it's a douchey thing to do, I think the final act should have been released later, as DLC or even a free expansion if you'd already cleared the game to promote DQIIIHD, just to create a sense of separation and to build up to it. DQXI's release was already kind of botched because of how much top-tier content wasn't even in the day-one version.

>did you buy the whole party or just Erik?
Just Erik, because he was my favorite. Also because they were already stupid expensive when I bought him, and now prices have doubled or tripled. I was definitely salty over the lack of Hendrik because he was my second favorite.

Gotta be careful putting soft goods on her. Weakest joint ever is holding her hips and torso together. I broke one and then bought another and hobby knifed the damn dress off and was able to barely slide the winter outfit over. Her feet aren’t the best either kind of flopsy and unbalanced like some revoltech. Otherwise the soft goods makes a huge difference.

>>11826285
Never heard of that problem with her. Thanks for letting me know.
I got an original one and a reissue because I wanted to keep one unmolested, but good to know that if something breaks, I got a second one.
(Certainly hope nothing does break, though.)
