Great video! I have the figure and love it a lot. However, I`m the only one bothered by the chain of the cape? Is too visible. I think that the figure would be aesthetically perfect with a black chain.
are you referring to it's opacity? being somewhat see through? definitely an issue I can understand bothering some, but that's a pretty common trend with capes at this scale, so I'm not too bothered by it myself. I think in most scenarios where you're posing it for a photo, it is negligible. only time I notice it really is when I spread it out and really try and make it a point to see it. and I absolutely agree, a black chain would have been ideal. I'm already in the process of painting mine 😂 other than that, a great figure especially at the price I paid, best option on the market imo! thanks for checking out the video!
Definitely a good looking and honestly impressive amount of articulation. I’ve been holding back on hasbro black series earth Vader. This looks very promising.
Great review, especially appreciate the tips for posing the cape. Cloth tunic gives him an easy W for import Vaders, but I wish they reworked the codpiece and ankles to account for increased lower body range.
agreed, ankles could have been much better. def can be a bummer. I don't find the codpiece to obstructive, but it is a bit phat 😂 Vader packin I guess haha
Thanks for your video, my friend! I struggled for about a week whether should I take this one or Mafex R1 1.5 but thanks to your detailed look, I decided to pick SHF version.
that would absolutely send it over the top. the limited head articulation is probably it's biggest downfall imo. proportions wise I'm not so sure, but a longer barbell to get more range for sure
This is a good review and you're a good reviewer. Just found this channel today and subbed up. One suggestion. Grab yourself a backdrop to hide the background 😁
thank you! I'll definitely consider one for situations like this I can pop in, but I do enjoy the vibe of just a guy playing with figures at his desk, so that'll likely be my vibe. one to have for specific scanarios would be great tho! thanks for checking me out!
I think the "springiness" of the shoulderpad is unnecessary. A balljoint into the top of the shoulder itself would have been sufficient and given it a chance to keep the uniformity of the shoulder pauldron altogether. The rest of it is mighty impressive for the scale. TBS has struggled with the Vader helmet as of late so SHF does take it. But the one reason it is better objectively? Additional hilt. ;-)
it is a small hinge, which the springiness is just an unfortunate by product of. definitely could've been better with a simple ball joint, but I rarely find it to be hassle myself. I just know other people have had nitpicked or mentioned themselves. thanks for checking out the video!
I thought only mine had problem on his right ankle rocker/tilt because left ankle can move just fine. But after saw your review, it looks like it is factory defect
it was only available in Japan unfortunately.. I got mine on hobby link Japan, but it's since sold out. they have announced a rerelease in the "New Hope" colors and accessories to come out later this year though, so hopefully that one will come to amazon
It was the Shfiguarts Obi Wan series Darth Vader. it sold out in it's first run, only released in Japan. they're supposed to be rereleasing it under the New Hope tag sometime in the future. I'd check hobbylinkjapan or hobbygenki to see if they have it for preorder or if theres any stock available
I disagree! but I can understand the frustration for some! it's certainly a challenge to wrangle in but I've got everything I've wanted out of it! thanks for commenting!
@@MiataManDan Such a shame I can’t share pictures of my custom cape on youtube all I can say is you guys are way too optimistic It’s definitely not the same cape as the promo image it’s already a scam and you guys still think it’s fine this is outrageous haha

Hell yeah man congrats on a awesome figure. Merry Christmas 🎄 hope your having a great one my dude
thanks brother! hope you're enjoying the holidays too!

Excellent review job. I still prefer the black series 😂
fair enough! still not a bad figure at all, outside of this one it's my second preference! It's a great figure!
having a lightsaber that is smeared is sick
I watch all the people shartimus swoosh and Anthony's custom and I must say this is a well done video
thank you! 🙇🏻♂️

We need the slight long barbell joint for his neck for the proportions of the cape and neck
that would absolutely send it over the top. the limited head articulation is probably it's biggest downfall imo. proportions wise I'm not so sure, but a longer barbell to get more range for sure
Great review man!

man 7:35 🤣
where you buy it and when will it be on amazon????

Where did you order this figure from, and do they ship to Canada?

Perfect? The cape is a disaster 😢😢

It’s not that bad in person I was anxious about the cape when buying but when he came he looked awesome

Not the cape but the short barbell joint on his neck sir. We must get the slight long one to prevent the proportions of his cape and neck
