Very cool figures, buddy! Was thinking of getting the entire series myself, but for some reason I passed on that idea LOL! The only S.H. Figuarts figure I've had the chanse to look at so far is the Bruce Lee figure. They make some exellent figures usually, but for these Super Mario figures I guess they had to sacrifice something to be able to keep the esthetics. Kids would probably not give a damn about the esthetics though, and just look at them as toys. For us collectors its a totally different story, and we tend to complain a lot more and be critical about what we get for our money. Its quite funny actually LOL! I complain about the articulation on a figure, knowing that I will be displaying it and not be playing with it anyways, hahaha! But if I wanted static figures I would buy statues instead. The whole point of having highly articulated figures for me, is to be able to pose it and display it however I want myself, though I somehow tend to put my figures in poses that the same figure in statue form would have anyways LOL! But its a matter of having the option, even if I don't utilize that option. Its the condom/gun principal, you know. Its better to have it and not have to use it, than not having it and have the need of using it LOL! Great review as always, my friend!
Some SHFiguarts figures are getting pretty expensive these days. Luckily these are still on the cheaper end, and the kids love them. They go well with the Wiiu amiibos they have too.
Yeah, but to be honest for me I don’t really care about that, it’s actually easier to make Mario or Luigi punch Bowser in the face because of that but I know it’s an issue for some people, oh well, at least it has good detail
I just ordered set c with the piranha plant, completing all the Mario figuarts sets!!!! I love them so much! It's great posing them all with the pipes and floating blocks (I'd recommend getting them)
It's a decent standalone display piece, but yes they could've done better. I havent seen any new figures in this series for ages, so this might be as good as we get though.
