S.H. Figuarts is killing the game with their very accurate and perfectly articulated figures, the unfortunate thing is that they're extremely expensive. Excellent review as always, Robo!
Unrelated/related to the review. Robo I just gotta say you seem like such a sweet guy I subscribed because you just have such a nice, and kind demeanor and passion that I admire.
Thanks! Yeah, I just love action figures and like to talk about them. Endlessly, haha. I believe in enjoying the hobby because if I ain't having fun, I'd rather not be doing it.
Yeah. There was a couple of times that I didn't get them seated all the way and they fell of when I moved it, for a split second I'd think "damn, broke it!" Because that's what I usually do, haha.
I haven't commented awhile but I still been watching (albeit less then when I had more time) I especially like that you mentioned your a Transformer guy over a Go-Bot guy. NOT cuz of the Go-Bots I love Go Bots but because it's nice to hear about Transformers 😂 (even know I research daily on them for way more then 20 years. It's just about the mention lol) Love the Figuarts Rocket and Starlord!
I wish I had the money for more Transformers, one of my favorite properties of all time. But there is just SO much out there. I've had the page for the Toys Alliance MAS-01 Prime open for several days now though. So tempting...especially with Megatron coming.
The things I like about S.H. Figuarts are TMNT, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers & Mario, But not fan of the other figures they made, anyway have fun with them, and Thanks for your awesome videos, Keep it up!
I am going to wait a bit to see if S H Figuarts does more of the team before purchasing these. I wanna buy these now but, wanna see what the future holds for this line. Wicked Review and straight to the point ! Thanks !
I honestly want to get these but I worry (and don't want to) that they might do/release a Starlord or Rocket in their Infinity War outfits or Guardian Of The Galaxy 3 outfits, which would be outdating these. I don't want to repurchase the same character basically.
I think at this point that's normal. They change the costumes, all costumes, movie to movie, seemingly for the reason to sell new merchandise. You wait for Infinity War and then do you wait for GotG3? GotG4? It's an endless wait.
Robo, I recently picked up figuarts Star Lord and mine has the super tight, squeaky shoulders too. Should I be worried about potential breakage here, or is it just a loud, tight joint?
I've never had any trouble with the squeeky joints. Not sure if they ever loosen up, and I've had people tell me to lube them, but I never have and don't have any breakage.
I prefer SH Figuarts. That Chris Pratt head is perfect. I've ordered Star Lord. I've already got Tony Stark, Iron Man mark 42 and Doctor Strange. I love the detail and the smaller size works for me. I hope Bandai makes Gamora and Nebula figures.
Right. I have the Figma models of Captain America, Iron Man, and Hulk. Then I have the SHF Ant-Man, and the Marvel Legends Star-Lord. But based on this video, I just ordered the SHF Star-Lord. He's GORGEOUS! Also ordered the SHF Doctor Strange. Best looking Strange besides the 1:6 Hot Toys IMO. I'm really thinking most of the SHF models are the best looking, next to the Figma. But Figma only has a few options. I pre-ordered the SHF Thor Ragnarok too. Wish he had a detachable helmet, but oh well ;) My Deadpool is that crazy Revoltech bastard LOL SUPER fun to pose but WAY taller than all the figures, I think he's even taller than the Figma Hulk. I have to decide on a DP that will fit into this group's size. Oh yeah, I also have the Medicom Batman. He's the only DC I have, as he's the only DC character I like.
Besides Joker. Batfleck is my favorite Batman, and Ledger's Joker is my second favorite DC. Oh dang, I may also have a movie Daredevil (yes Affleck again). I need to get my collection out and refresh my memory LOL
I don't live in another country though. Do you mean these Bandai exclusives? I ordered through Nippon-Yasan, they take the money, buy the exclusive, and then ships it out of country.
Great review brother!!! I really like these but right now I'm satisfied with my Hasbro versions. If these were cheaper than hell yeah I'd be all over them. However if they do the rest of the team than I'll pick them all up. There's no way in Hell I could say no to a Gamora...
God dammit, I'm gonna have to shell out 70+ for a tiny articulated Raccoon. It looks SO much more accurate than the Legends one, which looks like it has rabies or something. Star Lord looks great, but I'm too happy with the Legends one to shell out the dough for it. If they make an SHF Drax and Gamora though, I may just have to invest.
Yea,h that's a good plan. Hold off to see if they go any deeper. If not, you're set with an expensive ass raccoon. If so, you'll only have to backtrack for one figure. Win.....win?
Rockets guns look like ass. Thats odd for figuarts and i definitely agree with you about the fur on rocket it could have most definitely been more defined its really soft. Great review Robo keep up the great work man.
SHF Starlord and ML Starlord are not even in the same league, the latter being very toy-like. ML Gamora & Nebula are much better renditions of the characters. Anyways, it's a bittersweet victory that they nailed Pratt's likeness this much, considering his masked face is so cool this is the ONE SHF they could have screwed up the human face. Other than the size being a tad small even compared to other figuarts, very solid release. Rocket is kinda meh, the body's sculpt & paint is kinda shitty.
Well, Rocket's like 1/3 the size of a standard 1/12 scale action figure. Seeing him up close in photos kinda gives you the illusion that he should be huge enough to have more sculpt and paint details that he already has. You had to have him on hand to notice the absurdity that some dudes in the Bandai design room actually tried to work on something smaller than a thumb nail.
Haha, yeah, I usually get the main head with some kind f QC issue, this time around I couldn't be happier....but I can't decide which head to keep on there.
S.H. Figuarts is killing the game with their very accurate and perfectly articulated figures, the unfortunate thing is that they're extremely expensive. Excellent review as always, Robo!
Yeah, they definitely aren't cheap. At least with these two they came with a lot of useful, important accessories. And looks sooooo good. Thanks!
Kɪɴɢ T'Cʜᴀʟʟᴀ • Tʜᴇ Bʟᴀᴄᴋ Pᴀɴᴛʜᴇʀ and their out of scale 😥😥 I have been trying to find a good in scale mk 45 but I can't
Oh my god, this is gonna be great! Fwoosh always brings the best reviews!
My girlfriend made me take a dance class with her, and she doesn't know why I keep mumbling, 'forward, back, sahd, sahd'.
Haha, you gotta throw in a "hinge hinge, swivel swivel" in there every now and then!
The Burning Sensation no
The one thing that sets your reviews apart from others is your sheer excitement at the toys you get c:
Hey, I can't help it, I love the plastic, haha.
The Fwoosh I can tell c: it's amazing and inspired many a Marvel Legends purchase from me
Dang they gave Groot articulation? Not bad not bad
Rocket looks good but the sculpt is waaay to soft for the arms
Yeah, like I mentioned, the fur could be more sharp and detailed. But that's about the only problem I have with him, besides the heavy tail.
Dude, love the crossed arm rocket pose! Great review as always
That almost didn't make it, I was almost done and kind of accidentally put his arms like that. Ohhhhhh, yeah!

Hi Robo. Just wanted to see you I I could use a couple of screen shot from this video on my video review for the comparison with the legends. Thanks
No problem man, go for it.
Thanks The Fwoosh 😘
it's a shame neither the figuarts nor hasbro versions of these characters come with their jet packs from the film
Nightwing Josh aero rigs*
This might be my one and only Starlord.
"Figuarts whore"
Finally I have something to call myself as, proudly.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that!
Dude awesome i could mix and match groot and rocket, sick review!
Isnt it scary robo? Every time you switch hands for rocket or groots head, they have the tiniest ball joints and they arent at all cheap.
Yeah. There was a couple of times that I didn't get them seated all the way and they fell of when I moved it, for a split second I'd think "damn, broke it!" Because that's what I usually do, haha.

Thanks for this! I was holding out on a Star Lord until I saw your Figuarts review. Now it seems I'll be going with Hasbro!
Not a bad choice at all, that set looks fantastic together!
The things I like about S.H. Figuarts are TMNT, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers & Mario, But not fan of the other figures they made, anyway have fun with them, and Thanks for your awesome videos, Keep it up!
You don't need to ask if I like the review I always love the reviews
Haha, at this point it's just habit.
I am going to wait a bit to see if S H Figuarts does more of the team before purchasing these. I wanna buy these now but, wanna see what the future holds for this line. Wicked Review and straight to the point ! Thanks !
Sounds like a good plan. I probably should have done that but if nothing else comes I can always put them with my Avengers or something. Thanks man!
When you said: "Nearly the complete movie cast in Legends form," which figures do you think are missing? Ayesha? Anyone else?
Taserface. Kraglin. The classic GotG. I mean, we got the main characters, but I'll take any and all.
Good call! I'd love to get a classic Guardians set, Ving Rhames Charlie-27 would be especially badass.
Yup, exactly!
Man they always stand for you on camera! Hahaha
Haha, it's a conspiracy!

I can't wait to get them
WOW,man great review!!

I've never had any trouble with the squeeky joints. Not sure if they ever loosen up, and I've had people tell me to lube them, but I never have and don't have any breakage.
@@TheFwoosh Alright, thanks a bunch for the response.
His guns look a lot like the guns from the movie The Black Whole..
I prefer SH Figuarts. That Chris Pratt head is perfect. I've ordered Star Lord. I've already got Tony Stark, Iron Man mark 42 and Doctor Strange. I love the detail and the smaller size works for me. I hope Bandai makes Gamora and Nebula figures.
Oh yeah, they do look great together as their own entity. And I'm right there with you, need more of the team.
This straight up looks like a miniature Chris Pratt... it's crazy!!!
Yeah, in some of the pics it's scary how close it looks.
You should upload these vids in 1080p
I totally would but it already takes over and hour to upload a 15 minute video in 720p over my slow backwoods internet. Someday.
Will this size Star-Lord work well size-wise with my Figma Captain?
Captain America? He's just slightly taller than Star-Lord, and a little more stylized, but they look pretty good together.
Right. I have the Figma models of Captain America, Iron Man, and Hulk. Then I have the SHF Ant-Man, and the Marvel Legends Star-Lord. But based on this video, I just ordered the SHF Star-Lord.

Why does starlord have a beard and not his iconic sideburns and goatee
How got a mezco exclusive when you lives in another country ?
I don't live in another country though. Do you mean these Bandai exclusives? I ordered through Nippon-Yasan, they take the money, buy the exclusive, and then ships it out of country.
The Fwoosh No, by exemple the mezco black ascending knight batman how can i pre-order them when i live in another country ?
Oh, that I don't know. I don't think there is a site like the one I described above for US exclusives.
Great review brother!!! I really like these but right now I'm satisfied with my Hasbro versions. If these were cheaper than hell yeah I'd be all over them. However if they do the rest of the team than I'll pick them all up. There's no way in Hell I could say no to a Gamora...
You can't lose with that plan. Keep what you have, and if Bandai does decide to move forward then jump on these.
Awesome
Great review robo, now I have to add these to my wishlist..

Hey Beardy you dont want em I will be happy to take them off your hands
Oh no, I definitely want them. Definitely. But they would be much sweeter with teammates to display with.
Hey fwoosh so if you have multiple versions of the same figure. One goes on the shelf for display but what happens to the others?
Usually goes to a secondary shelf or the misfit shelf. Or sits in a box until I need another comparison.
Why double review? You must be getting busy lol.
Haha, that and I couldn't decide which one I wanted to open more.
The Fwoosh lol no kidding. both are great indeed. those boxes surprised me
Im good with marvel legends I know about the articulation just dnt see a difference

Heyy
toeley mage alsum love garedeuns
Great figure but not worth price. Especially paying for exclusive mark up price.
