SMP line is pretty good for supersentai and toku stuff, the plastic is much thicker than usual bandai modelkit which makes them tougher and more toy-grade to play with. Only issue is they can be pretty stupid with what part gets prepainted and what gets huge stickers.
Yeah Figmas are really hugely expensive nowadays. GSC completely abandoned Figmas in favor of Nendoroids and Scale figures, which is a shame... Meh, now Bandai has an even better chance of stealing the action figure scene !
problem I have with Bandai is they are very limited in selection compared to GSC. Like Bandai only doing stuff like mainstream shonen shows like KnY, JJK, MHA, Naruto, Dragon Ball, CSM and everything . In terms of quality and especially ease, I don't think figure rise can compare to figmas. Since some of figure rise details use stickers, waterslides which flake off, too hard to apply. whereas figma it is painted perfectly
Bandai SHF line is great with a lot of different character from many popular series but the QC is a bit hit and miss....I want to get the Tokai Teio but that qc is horrible...
I wanna sink more into SMP, but they're hella expensive compared to your model kit, and if size is important to you, you might feel they're less bang for your buck. Also, most of them appear in P-Bandai now (at least in my country) so I'm missing out unless I go to a reseller. If you get past all that, know that you do get quality stuff, and I personally think you can treat them more like a toy than a standard model kit.
they are more expansive than the average kit but I built two of the sentai mecha kits (Gao Icarus and Gao Hunter) and felt the price were right given that most parts came pre painted and more hard plastic for the joints and moving parts
I absolutely love the Brave SMP kits but their prices are really hard to swallow. Like I primarily build real grades so it's hard for me to not feel like I'm getting gipped just a little bit
Yeah the price is kinda steep. But for transformable/combiner kits I can trust them better than hg or mg kits since the plastic are thicker and tougher.
I was tempted to get this, but god is that denji face awful… By the by, I definitely recommend minipla and SMP kits to people. They’re very fun. Most of them are super sentai/power rangers, but they have other super robot model kits. Just recently they released a gurren lagann model kit set that’s really well made.
I got the SMP SRX recently, it's expensive but oh boy the gimmick. It's so well engineered. And recently they announced SMP Denji Sentai kits will be reissue, I missed that on the initial release so that's also a must buy for me.
mecha ive been watching you for years, from when I couldn't afford my own figma/gunpla, to now where I can, and you are definitely right about the current state of figma. Overpriced, hit and miss, outshined multiple times from other import figures, just not what they used to be. I didnt even consider the figma denji just from looking at the figure but seeing the shf and now in-hand owning it, I regret nothing. Great video as always!
I agree Figma cost way absurd prices . Getting less and less and less acessories every time and every year now . Plus their announcement recently have really gone down the drain . Looks like they're shifting focus more on Moderoids , some Modelkits , and even those Macross Cockpits Their QC at their China factory is shit as well . some of the newer releases have messy QC paint , poor plastic quality breakage of joints , etc
I love the figma models however I am frustrated with their prices, the prices have gone up unreasonably and the accessories are few, sometimes even with faulty paint, smeared paint
Well the magazine version is OK still need some paint though cause I don't like the way they paint but it does hold up good for 3 years now but it still affordable compare to other
That is really nice with the parts come painted. Stickers can be very annoying. My only gripe with humanoid type model kits is the joints looking a bit too noticeable.
How can I get both in one pack because in the website it says that it is random and it’s making me think that I’m only getting one but that could be Denji or chainsaw man.
I still love and will defend Figma. I'm honestly not sold on the SH figuarts Chainsaw Man, seeing prices from Amazon and BBTS for 64~69 before taxes and shipping and it only coming with just an extra mouth part and slightly different hands. It's a hard swallow especially when they're making a completely separate figure for Denji. For me a grand total of 102 for the Figma and all the parts to switch between Denji and CSM i thought was a better deal. Sure i do wish the Figma was a bit more dirtied up and detailed, but i've made my bad decision and Pre-Ordered the Figma for Power too.
I saw an SHF chainsaw man that was $45 back in box, but even in the lowered price it didn't seem like a worth it purchase for me because of the same reasons you stated. It looks amazing and all that but it seems lacking.
I own this figure and for the love of god don’t buy the figma, the shf is worth it so much. He doesn’t come with much but the articulation, look, playability, and everything is worth it. Besides I got mine for $75 on amiami and it came after a couple weeks. Very worth it
I love your vids dude they are the absolute best. I probably wouldnt buy this cause i dont really like it tbh, thwe chainsawman design itself is cool but i just dont like it too much. I see a Hg Kyrios, hope your gonna do a review of it
I honestly think Figma isn’t even worth buying anymore. I only have 2 and my 3rd I preordered thankfully before they increased the price by a third, but after that I’m done. Honestly S. H. Figurearts I’m not crazy about either, but at least they didn’t become overpriced recently. The Dragon Ball figures are pretty good from the few I picked up, and they feel far less flimsy.
I recently bought a Lancer Artoria and I would say she is worth it for her looks alone. But I usually get my Figma from Mandarake anyway which is way cheaper.
Not just the New Release ones the out of Print ones cost more than the New Figmas. Fuck, some (Inlcuding Lum and Kat from Gravity Rush) cost 100-400$ alone. Lum is absolutely terribly overpriced. Yet, GSC won't even Re-Realease them at all.
These look cool but I remember how much of a pain the clothing parts were on the original DBZ figure rise standard kits. If I see these for cheap I might pick them up but all I'm seeing is $60 to $100.
Figma line really lose me on the Jujutsu Kaisen - Kento Nanami figure It was around 11,000 yen; yet comes out with Nanami having a huge hunchback with the torso with vest, and the torso is exceptionally loose making it near impossible to play with. I'm waiting for a SHF release no matter what. SHF nowadays are having much reasonable price than Figma with better overall quality, which is literally impossible to imagine if it was 5 or 6 years ago.
All Chainsawman merch belong to Mappa itself, so you also support Mappa and animators too and not only figure studio mappa spended million yens from their own money for CSM so pls help them to grow and release season 2 much better
Stuff has gotten more expensive in general but Figma is a different story; I'd wager all these series they're licensing is adding to the cost. Not to mention huge Western demand. Premiums for licensing (because they can) and premiums over demand (because they can.) Meanwhile Gundam kits aren't that different in price and Banda's own Denji figure is $65 and somehow looks better than the Figma!
FOR THE LOVE PF GOD GUYS GET THE SH FIGUARTS ITS HALF THE PRICE AND LOOKS LIKE IT STEPPED OUT OF A MOVIE ,and is it just me or have sh really stepped up there game, it was always sh can’t do anime faces there detail is amazing, cinematic and full of personality while figmas looked like they stepped outta the screen , however I think sh are pretty good now with the anime faces/ features, that mixed with the detail is sex.
SH. Figurarts have the same problem with pricing. Some are decently priced whilst others are just ludicrously overpriced. Like first form frieza for $80? No way it should be that expensive
Isn't this because of those plastic usage law? They had to increase price so people would hesitate to by and in turn phase out the company when it becomes unprofitable? One day figures will be made out of chalk.
I really liked chainsaw man until part 2... part 2 makes it a masterpiece! It’s so great! So much less fight scenes and more focus on the characters. I still haven’t seen the anime, and I never will because anime is boring.
@@DudeOnASkateboard nah, animated things give me headaches. I read all the source material for any anime that look good like manga, novels, and visual novels.
I still have to watch the review...probably thyre not that good of a model kit...but after watching the short you uploaded a few hours ago i bought the model kit....imasucker
That intro caught me off guard, and I almost choked on my coffee. My plamo addicted brain was so inebriated, that I forgot it can be kinda hard to laugh and swallow coffee at the same time... The real question is: where did the figma Katana Man figure go? I was dead set on buying it, and then it disappeared. Chainsaw Man must have eaten it...

Normal Denji looks a bit weird, but the Chainsaw Man model looks amazing.
Mostly the headsculpt. I can’t blame them. Trying to make a human head in a model kit doesn’t always look great
@@topik5900 Yeah, it's fine. Honestly you are getting this at a good budget and mostly for the Chainsaw form anyways.
i think its just realistic style also they have shf which has more accurate i think they just do this because they selling both figures
I feel like whoever gets this kit needs to pose it like those degenerate woodie from toy story pics that made the rounds a few years back
Figma woody with alpaca
Haha, yeah… a few years back…
They already did
the what now?
@@Hexqbe what I was referring to was figma woody (as pointed out by @JONtheULTIMATE, thank Jon)
You have to get the SHF. That is probably the definitive Chainsaw Man figure.
SMP line is pretty good for supersentai and toku stuff, the plastic is much thicker than usual bandai modelkit which makes them tougher and more toy-grade to play with. Only issue is they can be pretty stupid with what part gets prepainted and what gets huge stickers.

"Mecharidge Farms remembers" actually made me laugh out loud. Also, I remember those Figma reviews. Good times
Space Marine cameo! I wonder if Bandai would ever think of doing Space Marine model kits..
They did action figures of them actually but I assume they aren't allowed on making model kits
@@miragebangbravern probably because if Bandai make kits of 40k stuff, people would finally realize how much of a scam the miniatures are.
Guys look, its the funny saw person!

"So you're a degenerate?" Yes.
This is the first I've seen you tackle an SMP.
also they making SMP Make Pose Style kits for Rockman/Megaman NT Warrior which looks more natural as the characters are cartoon-y-looking robots.
15:00 I'd recommend using some pastel for shading and top coating it to settle.
It doesn't require too much work, but the result is pretty satisfying!
Alright MechaGaikotsu, I dare you to buy a second one of these and maybe a random Evangelion model kit to make a Chainsaw Man custom Eva Unit!
Clicked on the video hoping to see a csm review but instead gets spit by pure FACTS!! I like it.
You could do a review of the Rockman exe SMP, there are 4 characters, roll, megaman, torchman and gutsman , @mecha gaikotsu
That intro. New Pom!
Denji in the suit and Chainsaw Man in the topless versions look really cool
Poses aren't the only thing chainsaw man can bust!
By the looks of it, you can also swap the arms in the head, so you can have denji wearing the devil hunter suit And a half naked chainsaw man
I agree Figma cost way absurd prices . Getting less and less and less acessories every time and every year now .
Plus their announcement recently have really gone down the drain . Looks like they're shifting focus more on Moderoids , some Modelkits , and even those Macross Cockpits
Their QC at their China factory is shit as well . some of the newer releases have messy QC paint , poor plastic quality breakage of joints , etc
will you review dimension studio ultraman kit?
Would love to see your take on the Transformers girls Flametoys has put out (Arcee & Windblade)
Wait, was that a firstborn or a primaris marine? That's important info for a size comparisons 😜

Hi! could you please review some the Kamen Rider Figu-Rise standard please? That would make me really happy. Thanks!
i already knew the name SMP as the line where known for having Super Sentai mecha in the line
Since he part swapped, he can now do the pose of the crying genji meme
i love @Mecha Gaikotsu
Is there any news of them making a makima articulated model kit?
I noticed that the chainsaw arm blades on the figma one are facing the wrong way and that's all I can focus on whenever I see it
I just got My SHF version and it’s amazing. If I see this around I might buy it though.
I love the figma models however I am frustrated with their prices, the prices have gone up unreasonably and the accessories are few, sometimes even with faulty paint, smeared paint
When they drop a kobeni one you already know im gonna buy a jar
Sh figure arts?
Well the magazine version is OK still need some paint though cause I don't like the way they paint but it does hold up good for 3 years now but it still affordable compare to other
