Tamashii Features Triple

Overnight, the online event Tamashii Features rolled on with more livestreams and VR Tours. Most of the unseen stuff prior to this event was locked behind a log in, which requires a Japanese location to register (easily). Luckily some fans over there capped and saved what they saw so far.

The biggies are Final Battle versions of – Thanos, Dr. Strange and Thor. Thanos’ armor is a bit dinged up, comes with the unmasked head, non-gauntlet arm, optional iron gauntlet. Dr. Strange has a cloth wired cape, energy sword and new green effect pieces. Thor is in chunk mode, has the braided hair, hammer and axe, and comes with tons of lightning effects.

We will update as they officially go live with product pages and more details. There is still one more day of Tamashii Features so expect some additional reveals for different brands later tonight.

Iron Studios IT 2 Pennywise 001

Iron Studios has opened up pre-orders for a new IT Chapter 2 – Pennywise Deluxe 1/10 Scale Statue. The statue features a diorama sewer base, and Pennywise skipping through the grime, with balloons all around him. It stands over 8″ tall and is cast in polystone. The Pennywise Statue is priced at $179.99, and is set for release in the Second Quarter of 2021. See photos after the jump.

IT Chapter 2 – Pennywise Deluxe 1/10 Scale Statue

Inspired by It: Chapter Two (2019), cinematic conclusion of the adaptation of the work created by the legendary horror writer Stephen King, Iron Studios presents “Pennywise Deluxe Art Scale 1/10 – IT Chapter Two”, a statue that presents the antagonist of macabre tale, a shape-shifting supernatural creature that takes the form of a clown named Pennywise to attract its favorite prey, children. Iron Studios presents the sinister clown running on a base surrounded by his red balloons, as if chasing his victims through the sewer galleries of Derry, a small town, the setting of history, in Maine in the USA. The figure also features an extra interchangeable head.

Played by Bill Skarsgård, Pennywise appeared on Earth many centuries ago, in a cataclysmic event, similar to an asteroid collision, and since then he remains dormant, waking up in cycles of 27 to 30 years to hunt children, attracting them like a simple clown and then devour them and so he feeds on their fears.

– Based on original movie references
– Made in polystone
– Hand painted
– Includes extra head
– Product dimensions: 8.2 in (H) x 7 in (W) x 6.6 in (L)

SHF UI Goku 99

Ultra Instinct – the highest form of power up for Goku (for now) is here, in hand, in S.H. Figuarts form!  I’ve been waiting for this for a while now, it’s the perfect representation of the modern Dragonball era.  And Tamashii Nations did a great job with the figure – IMO taking top spot as the best Goku to date.  He has metallic silver on the hair, full shirtless upper with torn gi above the belt, ripped pants, 4 faces in standard levels of intensity, 4 sets of hands – all standard Goku SHF styles and a Kamehameha energy ball – same one as previously released in a sharper blue clear plastic.   Nothing crazy but the execution is tops.  Smooth firm joints, dense plastic, sharp sculpt head to toe, colors pop.  Feels good in hand.  A worthy rep of Goku’s ultimate form.  Only ask would be a slight wash on the body, as he has a lot of cuts and scrapes built into the mold, but they don’t shine due to lack of paint on the flesh.  We’ve taken him for a spin with a battle against Jiren, so read on to check him out courtesy of TheToySource!  He’s in stock there and shipping now!

SHF Jiren 27

Jiren was the big bad of the final Dragonball Super chapter, giving Goku a powered up opponent worthy of battle.  And now he’s joined the Dragonball ranks in S.H. Figuarts.  Jiren dropped earlier this year, but just like last year, I’m running a bit behind getting all these guys.  I recently got Ultra Instinct Goku, and couldn’t wait anymore picking up Jiren, they need to battle! Jiren is rocking his bulky frame, 4 sets of hands – one of which has Goku’s blue hair bangs attached so you can show him gripping up the Saiyan, 4 heads, a set of folded arms, energy fist and flame effect for that fist.  We’ve run him through the motions and added him to our Dragonball galleries, so read on to check him out along with some additional thoughts courtesy of TheToySource!

Blitzway Jimi Hendrix 006

Collectible company Blitzway has announced a new figure based on the legendary Jimi Hendrix. In the 1960’s, rock and roll music really began to find it’s footing, bringing a whole host of now iconic musicians onto the scene. One of the most influential was Jimi Hendrix. His career and his life were cut short when he passed away in September 1970. However, his immense talent saw him become one of the most celebrated musicians on the 20th century. Jimi Hendrix could play a guitar like no one else at the time (and is still considered one of the greatest to ever play). Songs like Purple Haze and Foxy Lady still get regular rotations on many classic and modern rock stations.

The upcoming Jimi Hendrix 1/6 Scale Figure from Blitzway stands about 12″ tall, and features a fabric outfit, as well as rooted hair. The figure includes multiple interchangeable hands, a guitar, a busted guitar piece, a microphone stand, two necklaces, and a figure stand. Blitzway is also offering his iconic hat as an early pre-order bonus. The figure is priced at $289, and is scheduled for release in the Fourth Quarter. Check out photos and details after the jump.
