I want to order this, but all they show are a fully custom painted one or cg renders. I'm no artists, so my kits get left unpainted, or maybe matte coated if they're too shiny. Need to know what this will look like.';

'Already preordered. Might get a 2nd one even just to repaint.';

'>>10982326
Anon...it's a fully black figure. For your level of expertise it would be enough if you drown him in a brown wash for a half a minute and let it dry. If you want him to be shiny like in OP just drybrush a bit. You don't even need to paint it and if you fuck up you can just start over without conequences.';

'>>10982326

'>>10982308
Because Japan makes the toy and then sets the price. Western countries set the price then make the figure to meet or fall under that price.';

'>>10982371
Yeah, the shf armor is incredibly fragile. I have it and it's the worst figure I own. Tons of people seem to have broken joints already. I'm actually afraid to touch it.';

I'd still prefer to see it first. Like will the bandage on the sword be white, will the eye on the helmet be red? will there be any decals?

I've bought kits before that have ended up looking pretty cheap after i've assembled them. For the price I want know know that this will look good next to other Berserk figures and not stand out.';

I thought I would like this liney textured look but after seeing OP, smooth armor is the way to go. This armor is already so complex and layered, adding all that texture just makes it a visual overload. The engineering and tolerances are also not good. I am hoping the light weight of the model kit makes it a better prospect for posing.';

the proportions are also the right size. Especially the helmet isn't as small as on the shf. I'm looking forward to see some repaints honestl. It's definitely the best gut we'll get in a while.';

They are not being bogged down by sjw “culture”
That’s really it
I mean just look at this one
>”a story about some mercenary in some white country and no brown people, but then brown people attack and started genociding white people, and then a very Uber white guy comes to save white people and kills brown people”
Now is this the story? No. But sjw will see it as that, and either guts going to come out as negro, or Griffith, or kushans going to turn white. And call it a “massive success” while at the same time deliberately produce shitty ugly toys because they genuinely hate the ip and its fans because “how dare the story lacks diversity and how dare people like it”
Look at state of magic (not toy sure, but is influenced by the same horseshit) and look how they take a look at lotr, said it’s not diverse, turn all the bad people white and all good people black.
Or look at state of 40k
Japanese don’t shit on their modern legends.
And so their toys are higher quality , because they want to satisfy their customers, instead of teaching them a lesson.';

'>>10984145
Except guts and the kushan are teaming up now. White and brown unite to take down aryan oppressors. Art imitating life at its best.';

'>>10984237
lol ye, teaming with what’s LEFT of Kushan, after what Griffith(and their own king) did to them.
That’s the issue though. Until they get to THAT part, they need to show a lot of “brown man bad and oppressor” thing, and that won’t go through with sjws, would it?';

I feel like just delivering your shit doesn't make you a "trustworthy shop".

The real test is what they will do for you if you have an actual problem with your order like serious QC(missing part/fucked paint/duplicate parts,etc) or shipping damage. If they won't help you out with replacement parts or return shipping, they are not "good".';

>>The real test is what they will do for you if you have an actual problem with your order like serious QC(missing part/fucked paint/duplicate parts,etc) or shipping damage.
I slightly mentioned it here >>10985232, basically they shipped me the wrong item and i let them know but yes that is also a valid point.
They asked me to ship the wrong item back with their prepaid label AND they shipped me the item via express mail at the same time. I sent them an email saying that i'll ship the item a week later than expected due to irl shit and they were cool with it.
Other anons got replacement qc shit from them before. Shipping damage though, i read that if it's a fucked box than youre outta luck, damage ditem during shipping they got your back.';

This was the smartest post that would be in the thread before it even got going.

Back before brand unification between Hasbro and Takara, Takara did this to some degree. Same toys (usually) but they'd go the extra mile on painted detail, so the price of a deluxe there would bounce around while it was a fixed $12 or $16 or whatever dollars here. Made Hasbro's offerings look like knockoffs half the time. Especially when Takara would go all the way with improved molds or additional accessories.

Another reason I think Japan makes better toys is because this stuff wasn't so stigmatized over there. Up until Bazinga Man became a popular meme, being into this stuff was nerdy and nerdy was uncool. So people associated toys with children and since there's still some of that Victorian era "children aren't people" mindset around, they didn't really have to be that good to be considered good enough.';

'>>10985321
Wow the head is bad .... and that paint? SHF really can't make toys it seems.';

'>>10986928
I'm not gonna pretend Bandai is shit at everything. Their last few years of Kamen Rider SHFs have generally been quite good. But 9/10 times they drop the fucking ball when it comes to anime. They must have some guys there with tenure or something, because they keep churning out these shit-ass products and nothing seems to improve. You'd think a company as huge as Bandai would kick them to the curb after a few figures fail and hire someone better.';

I actually was about to post when the thread was made how ugly the figure looks from afar on the shelf. It's just way too dark. Up close not a looker either but from afar it's a complete blob. If not for the cape you wouldn't even be able to make out what it was exactly. Glad to see he noticed it too. The color choice was horrible. They should have taken a different black for sure. The wash on the otherhand is a complete insult to any fan. This was the most expensive shf I've ever bought and probably the last.';

My dude, it's a just a mid figure at best. Even at a lower price point it'd be mid but at the high price point it's unforgivable. The anatomy is just shit. Reminds me of some early SHF Rider stuff where the anatomy just sucked ass then they got new versions later that looked fantastic.

'>>10986049
I’ll expand on that. Besides the fact that toys and collectibles are marketed in a different fashion, culturally Japan has a long history of making extremely high-quality curiosities for adults. During the Meiji era, metalworkers responded to the declining demand for weapons and armour by producing okimono, beautifully-crafted metal statues of animals, insects, crustaceans and mythical creatures. The very best, jizai okimono, were fully articulated using a complex system of pins and hinges. In many respects they’re an antique precursor to the highly-articulated and meticulously-engineered collectibles we’ve become used to buying from Japan in the modern age.';
