Tamashii Nations figu @ HOME Marvel - Black Widow, Hawkeye, Shang Chi, Tech-On Avengers, White vision
The Tech-On figures look surprisingly good IMO, the metallic colors really pop and the sculpt is great.
Dark Nights Metal - Everyone is Batman. Tech On Avengers - Everyone is Iron Man.
Interesting reveals. Generally underwhelming. Good Black Widow but they're milking that excellent Johansson facesculpt they've had the past 3 releases. But no Scarlet Witch? Would think they would, considering much like Black Widow, they have an excellent face sculpt already.
Vision doesnt wow in terms of paint and detail as compared to what we've seen from ML, so its "debateable" (difference is not the big).
Hawkeye is improved, just a bit tempted.
Tech-On is interesting but will probably not dip my toe in considering it makes me think some of these are Iron Legion units Tony created during a very Batman-esque paranoid state. Why not make a robot versions of rivals/enemies with some tech upgrades?
Japanese sculptors: Ya can't do real life faces. Just stop. Stick to your stylized faces. You're great with those. Perfect even.
With how Hasbro and other western companies are perfecting their face-print tech, I'm honestly not seeing any point in collecting these, outside of line-completionists.
There's always something off. Shape of the face, nose, eyes, mouth. Like you see the likeness, and from certain angles or if you focus on certain parts (like only the eyes, or only the nose and mouth, etc.) it looks great, but as a whole, they just never work.
I don't know what it is.
Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Wolverine, Red Skull, Loki, and Venom will be part of this Tech-On series.
Also, Widow booty is lookin real good!
I had no plan to get any but the Hulk. But maybe I need more lol! Tech on cap looks awesommmme.

Even with Hasbro's face print tech, they still miss a ton. Infinity War Scarlet Witch, Crimson Dynamo BAF Black Widow, the upcoming unmasked Rescue, to name a few, look terribly inaccurate. To say nothing of how they STILL can't get a Luke Skywalker figure that looks remotely like Mark Hamill.
It's honestly best to mix and match lines, as both Bandai and Hasbro have hits and misses here and there.

That being said SHF which has been in the past the most consistent in accuracy for this scale, however last 2-3 years they have dropped a notch giving other companies less of a gap to close but there isnt consistent perfection in this scale especially in terms of "realism."
Could get into a whole discussion especially with just using the example of Samuel Jackson likeness across various companies.

Hasbro perfecting their face-print tech? Don't make me laugh.
Nah, they're mostly correct. Hasbro's face printing is generally better. Though Tamashii has been improving lately. But the likenesses on the recent Falcon and Winter Soldier looked off and so does that Shang-Chi. For whatever reason the Marvel likenesses seem to be a problem.
Marvel's comic figures are 100% inaccurate in terms of faces. They just keep reusing the same face. Nothing like having an Asian character like Silk with a 100% white lady face!
Their 6 inch Star Wars stuff is massively hit or miss. Each Luke looks progressively like Mark Hamill's stunt double in drag. There hasn't been a single Rey that looks remotely like Daisy Ridley. The upcoming Mattel Ellie Sadler seems to put the Admiral Holdo figure's likeness to Laura Dern to shame.
But then they put out a Bo-Katan or Moff Gideon that looks very much like the actor.
Granted, Figuarts has problems as well. Their Captain Marvels look NOTHING like Brie Larson for example.
New Tamashii Nations Pre-Orders - Godzilla Ultima, Shang-Chi, Harley Quinn - The Toyark - News
$120 for a Godzilla we know nothing about. Ugh that is steep.
Marvel's comic figures are 100% inaccurate in terms of faces. They just keep reusing the same face.
And we're discussing movie figures since that is what Figuarts' Marvel output mostly is, and there I stand by my original statement. The recent Sam Wilson Cap figure from Hasbro has a better likeness than the Figuarts Falcon.
I decided Im gonna pass on this Godzilla. Im a huge Godzilla fan and collect Monsterarts and X-Plus, but I dont buy every figure, and this new Godzilla isnt worth the money IMO. Not a big fan of the design, and the cartoon looks okay at best, so no loss.
