Tamashii Nations Teases S.H. Figuarts Movie Deadpool?!?

I wonder if Bandai would ever consider attempting comic-based figures. S.H. Figuarts often seems to beat out Mafex for high-end 1/12-scale Star Wars collectors money, but theyre not even trying to compete with Mafex on comic book representations. Or is Sentinel part of Bandai? Is that where they tackle the comic likenesses?

I actually think I like the ML version better, I don't like that on this version the shoulder strap is just molded on, and the seem breaks when you move the torso, ML wins for me, I still think that was one of the nicest Movie ML figures we got in some time they did a great job, this figure is still nice and all don't get me wrong.

I guess 3rd party sellers of 1/12 action figure guns will have many orders in coming years, as for figure it does look real good an better than ML but it's not that better to justify paying additional 60 dollars.

As usual, SHF's lines and edges are sharper and cleaner, but almost too clean. Comparing it to the ML version is almost like comparing traditional animation to CGI. That paired with the SHF's standard pricing and the fact that he comes with no guns is a complete waste of money. There is literally no reason for this figure to exist.

Someone told me that guns have been banned with children's toys sold in China (not necessarily manufactured). SHF is considered collectors grade product but maybe the fact that it still has a certain appeal to younger children means they decided to not take a chance and just eliminate them altogether. Whatever the reasoning it's just another of several reasons for me just to hang on to my paper for this one.

Why doesn't he come with any guns?

If you think about this, this would have been the perfect chance for Figuarts to make a Wade Wilson headsculpt. They botch their faces, and Wade's face is supposed to be botched

Good point!

Not the biggest deadpool fan but the figure looks nice enough.

This looks good, but not $80 good, especially when I already own 2 of the ML version. The articulation, eyes and hands are better here, but it just doesn't blow the Legends out of the water the way some other imports have. That being said, if you have a SHF MCU collection, he'd look great in there.
