S.H. Figuarts Captain America (and fellow Avengers) Review

S.H. Figuarts Captain America (Avengers 2 version) has a nice sculpt, great paint apps, and excellent posability. The options for shield play (posing) is better than any other attempt by other companies. He comes with 2 facial expressions, mulitple hands, and 3 eye options ( to look straight, left, and right). The focus is on Cap, but I'll quickly say S.H. Figuarts Hulk is another nice figure by Bandai. Nice scupt, decent articulation given it's bulk, 2 facial expressions, and 2 set of hands.

S.H. Figuarts Iron Man Mark 43 Review

This figure is damn awesome: beautiful mold, perfect paint apps (on mine), incredible articulation, and the tightest joints I've encountered in any SHF figure. I mean really tight joints. For a moment I thought I was going to snap the right shoulder joint. Speaking of shoulder joints, they move in and out for more poseability. Figure includes extra hands and effect parts.

Sen-ti-nel Armorize Iron Man

Sen-ti-nel's second Iron Man offering. While it has a striking look, it's not as well planned as their Re-Edit line. I think it's because Sen-ti-nel has different groups working on projects. Some better than others. Re-Edit is done by Chemical Attack who are their best team in my opinion. Armorize was done by T-Rex.

I want to like this figure more than it deserves because of its aesthetics, but unfortunately it has poor paint quality that chips, and hindered articulation when Armorized. It's this very gimmick, placing the armor on the figure that's the main selling point. Posing is not it. If you're not into posing, fine, but I like dynamic posing and it can't be done here, and that's a shame. Main parts hindered by the armor are the ankles and shoulders (armor pieces can pop off and even cause paint chipping).

On the plus side, Takayuki Higashi did a killer job with the sculpt. I especially like Tony Stark's head sculpt. Nicely detailed and appropriately expressive with articulated eyes.

Sentinel Re:Edit Iron Man Bleeding Edge Armor Review

The collector's market is filled with Iron Man figures. Most offerings are strictly movie based, but Sentinel went a different route by reimagining some of the iconic comic based armors. Their first entry is the Bleeding Edge armor. It's absolutely fantastic. It has a great amount of articulation to pull off some kick ass poses. There's also a light up gimmick that lights up its eyes and arc reactor. The color apps are pretty much flawless, beautiful, and varied.

My only complaint was that the hip joints were a little loose so I had to tighten them up with floor care finish. Nice and tight now.

Disclaimer: The pink neon blades are from Kotobukiya. I sanded down the insertion tabs to fit into the blade gauntlet pieces. The blades were sprayed with a flat coat spray to give them a nice glow like effect that picks up light nicely. If you're interested in these, they are called M.S.G.
