Don't worry, they didn't sell out. They're going up about 11 hours from now. AmiAmi tends to open pre-orders later than other Japanese retailers in general, typically the next day.
Never ever skip a programming update, Robo! You gotta keep your software updated so your slowly aging hardware can continue to function at at *least* 75% efficiency. *sigh* but what did I expect, he was programmed with an IBM PC during his assembly. *snicker* Much love, ye ol' robot
Managed to still order Anakin and Yoda this morning on Amazon JP, but will try again when they go up on Amiami later today. I agree that Black Series has improved and will wait for them to do their own Han and Chewie updates one day.
I think I'm in for the new Han & Chewy, they'll work nicely with my general 'movies I like' display. Yoda I might skip, and Anakin is different enough to make me want to seek out the original RotS release. All in all though these look like some really solid releases, and I'm happy that figuarts does this for people like myself who missed out on the original versions. Now if they could just release more of the prototypes they've shown off, not just for Star Wars, but for things like GotG Vol 1. I was hoping that this year being the 10th anniversary of the first Guardians would mean that we'd finally get those figures released, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Hopefully we'll start to see these released in the future, there's some great figures in their vault that I'd love to own.
It's an interesting point about this Anakin accurately looking like a 20-years-older Hayden who's been digitally de-aged. Cause on the one hand, sure, show-accuracy is good. On the other hand, the accuracy in this case is tied to a "this is the best we can do" special effect. Like, if magic was real, everyone would want Hayden in "Ahsoka" to have looked exactly like he did in 2005. So having the toy look like that wouldn't have been show-accurate, but it would have been character-accurate. And I'm curious what the percentages are about who among the fan base would prefer which.
Kinda want the Anakin and Yoda and then I remember I’m poor. Hopefully Hasbro will release an updated episode 3 Anakin soon so I can finely put an Anakin in my collection.
I was surprised when I saw these go up for pre-order, making my SHF pre-order batch even bigger. For me, it's Anakin and Yoda I want. Even though I think Clone Wars Anakin is the best written Anakin, my childhood nostalgia is for Revenge of the Sith Anakin. And the Ahsoka design changes aren't noticeable enough that I can't just ignore them and pretend he's Revenge of the Sith Anakin. And Yoda because... poseable Yoda with cloth goods.
Figuarts weren’t even a twinkle in my collector eye when the original Anakin came out so to get this and pop a 3rd party head on it makes me a happy boy.
If nothing else, new Yoda is perfect for an after market cloak. Theres aspects of hard plastic vs the soft goods that i like, but i think something with a lighter less mass produced fabric will be best of both worlds. Anakin though might be the one I unilaterally like. I havent found my perfect Anakin yet and this looks closests. I also prefer the wider shoulders. Need to get the Rogue One 1.5 Vader still
Thankfully I don't have a big enough attachment to any of these characters to feel the need to shell out import prices, that Anakin is pretty good though. Thanks for the breakdown!
I’m on the fence. Anakin’s a maybe. As happy as I am to see new SH SW none of these are really different enough to be instant buys for me. Plus I’m happy with all the originals. Han would be a definite buy if I didn’t have the casting cave head on my original. But overall I’m glad these are back in circulation
I was only gonna pre order Chewbacca because I only have the solo version. But than I talked myself into also pre ordering Han solo & Anakin because of the new effects & head pieces despite owning the originals😑. I feel like by the end of the day I'm gonna also talk myself into getting Yoda since he still in stock🤦😑. Since they are retooling most of the new hope figures I wouldn't be surprised if Ben Kenobi, princess Leia & Luke also get new retools in the next few months. March is gonna be really expensive especially since I pre-order all of them separately in fear of the ones I wanted the most was gonna sell out fast.
I really want the S.H.F Obi-Wan New Hope Alec Guinness figure but after market is crazy & can't tell if it's real, as you say. So really hoping that gets reissued as it's the only Star Wars figure I now want.
As they’ve redone all the original new hope figures other than Leia and Ben I’m cautiously optimistic that they’ll release him with soft goods instead of the all plastic to make him more articulated
I like how the faces almost have a high end, animation look to them. A little cleaner and bigger eyes. Frankly realistic likeness is overrated because too often real face sculpts have tiny eyes and look dead and lifeless. These pop much more.
I just think they shouldve reused the faces from indiana jones for solo since same actor, sure the faces on indie has somewhat of a beard, BUT just paint over the beard 😂
DID THEY ALL SELL OUT? Amiami says "On Sale Soon" and "Sales Period Oct 02, 2024, 11:00 Japan Time" Does that mean there's still a chance?
Don't worry, they didn't sell out. They're going up about 11 hours from now. AmiAmi tends to open pre-orders later than other Japanese retailers in general, typically the next day.
Sweeeeeeeet. And it's not 2 in the morning either. Win win. Well, maybe, we'll see.
@@RoboDontKnow 11am Japan time is 11am is 10pm est/9pm cst the previous day. So tonight is the time
Already sold out everywhere i know that's trust worthy, dude i keep missing out on anakin and yoda shf😅
Og will remember the green background
Gah, now that's a background color I haven't seen in a long time. A long time....
lol
The happy expression of Anakin is what sold me the re-issue 😅
Dude that Mando Kill em All shirt is amazing! I need one lol Can't wait to grab all 4 of these figs, especially Yoda!!
Nice to finally see people behind the scenes. Hello CameraRobo😅
The switching angles at the beginning making me smile lol
A new capacity has been unlocked : Robo don't know recording 😄
I don’t usually collect shf but that han solo is really tempting he seems to be done really well here
The head can be argued back and forth but the body is solid. I have two with Casting Cave heads and they are my favorites.

*sigh* but what did I expect, he was programmed with an IBM PC during his assembly. *snicker* Much love, ye ol' robot
Han looks like it's the face of old Harrison Ford slapped onto how he looked while filming anh
The Anakin headsculpt, to me, looks more like a realization of Clone Wars animated Anakin than anything based on Hayden in Revenge of the Sith.
Managed to still order Anakin and Yoda this morning on Amazon JP, but will try again when they go up on Amiami later today. I agree that Black Series has improved and will wait for them to do their own Han and Chewie updates one day.
Glad to get your take on the announcement Robo, im picking Chewbacca and Yoda no doubt.
We all know a Robo is waiting for a Flocked Chewie for his shelf!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
You’re the man, thanks for the heads up. keep up the good work 👍
Sold out in a few hours. Can SHF actually print more than 10 figures before actually releasing preorders?
I think I'm in for the new Han & Chewy, they'll work nicely with my general 'movies I like' display. Yoda I might skip, and Anakin is different enough to make me want to seek out the original RotS release.

You know people are going to gripe either way. Companies can't completely 100% win either way so they just gotta make a decision and stick to it.
Why does anakin's neutral face look like Prince charming from shrek 😭
I slept through all of the preorders but I'm definitely going to be on the look out for Anakin.

Where’d you get that mando shirt!!!
“Robo Don’t Know Breakdown” is pure gold! I’d buy the merch…
Figuarts weren’t even a twinkle in my collector eye when the original Anakin came out so to get this and pop a 3rd party head on it makes me a happy boy.
What is the brand name of your hat? Very cool looking.

It would be great if someday we could get a new new hope Ben Kenobi.

When can we order these are they going to be on bbts
I’m on the fence. Anakin’s a maybe. As happy as I am to see new SH SW none of these are really different enough to be instant buys for me. Plus I’m happy with all the originals. Han would be a definite buy if I didn’t have the casting cave head on my original. But overall I’m glad these are back in circulation
It doesn't even compare, that casting cave head is perfection
a red saber fitting onto Anakin/Lukes lightsaber? oh.. that is tempting on it's own.
I'm sure ill miss this preorder if it didn't already on BB.
I was only gonna pre order Chewbacca because I only have the solo version.

Ive been waiting for that chewy reissue for years… finally!
its like they mixed the clone wars and live action Anakin face in one lol
Anakin 😊
Where can i pre order them in uk
Something about the new Anakin faces look very anime to me. Like a stylised animated look to them.
brother PLEAAASE review the black series Darth Sidious
I'm dying to see ur reaction to it 👀👀👀
I really want the S.H.F Obi-Wan New Hope Alec Guinness figure but after market is crazy & can't tell if it's real, as you say. So really hoping that gets reissued as it's the only Star Wars figure I now want.

Hopefully they re release the Padme aswell
They gave Han the Indy face sculpts and swappable hair gimmick, it looks like
what about Padme?
Where's the 'excuse dance'? 😂😂
Yes 20 20 20
I got all but Anakin he sold out in less than 12 parsecs.
These went up at 9 (CST) and they all sold out within 6 minutes....ya boy ninjaed a Chewie preorder. FUCKING SCORE!!!!
New, angry SH Figuarts Anakin looks like James Franco.
Hasbro TAKE NOTE!
Liev Schreiber was Han Solo?
What happened to the other account? Haven’t been here for a while
Man, why does. Chewie gotta look like Groot?
It could be a lot worse. The Hot Toys Chewbaccas look like Troll dolls.
I was scrolling through my Instagram and they pooed up I was like new?!
vintage robo.
I like how the faces almost have a high end, animation look to them. A little cleaner and bigger eyes. Frankly realistic likeness is overrated because too often real face sculpts have tiny eyes and look dead and lifeless. These pop much more.
I think S H Figuarts peaked on Margo Robbie Harley Quinn. Remember when figuarts was like mini hot toys. Remember Bruce Lee.
I just think they shouldve reused the faces from indiana jones for solo since same actor, sure the faces on indie has somewhat of a beard, BUT just paint over the beard 😂
Anakin already sold out on Ami Ami and Nin Nin. Damn....
We only want Anakin to fall so we can build ourselves up lolz 😆
i say use obs over stream yard you can record the video & audio all in one go with a good mic(and it free)
I want to get the OT Star Wars characters from SHF, but I can't bring myself to support Disney any longer...
Are you still the fwoosh or no?
No.
