Tamashii (Bandai) S.H.Figuarts Star Wars Figures

The S.H. Figuarts figures are action figures. High quality, fully painted, uber-articulated action figures. The S.H. Figuarts are put out through Bandai's Tamashi Nations brand which represents their top quality figures for collectors.
The others, the 1/12 Vader and Stormtrooper are model kit figures. Injection molded, cut it from the sprue and assemble it yourself, model kit. Complete with water transfer decal kit and Tetoron sealant. NOT for someone looking to open a package and stick a figure on a shelf.
Jesse James:
OK, making sense... The kit figures look really good, built and everything. I can't imagine they'd be real complex. I wonder if they'll jive well with TBS 6" stuff at all, or no. I think that'll be really interesting to see.
I'm still tempted to buy one of those kit Stormtroopers just to have on a shelf... I've opted out of 6" TBS stuff yet these figures could totally get me hooked in.
Diddly:
Yeah, these figures look better than anything offered by Hasbro or Mattel. I'll probably wind up importing some, but it'll be tough picking between the Bandai Vader and the Revoltech Vader with the funky ball joint cape.

That display background is very cool! I'll definitely have to look into it when I preorder my Vader. Thanks for the update Jeff!
