Banpresto 2012 Naruto Figures

Been waiting and debating which Naruto series I should consider getting for my new collection. Banpresto just announced their new Naruto series, which include Naruto, Minato, Sasuka, and Itachi. They all look pretty amazing, though some are still in their prototype phase. I have yet to compare these to the Bandai line in terms of their quality and final outcome. The Bandai version of their Naruto series still look pretty awesome and the sculpt/coloring are fantastic. I will have to wait and see how the Banpresto versions match up with Bandai's version once they come out. For more photo's on the Banpresto Hobby convention check out AkibaHobby Blog link below.

2012 Figure Update

Master Star Piece: JoJo

Starting the first 2012 blog post of some up coming figures in the coming months, although they are not One Piece related. I found a few figures online that some people may be interested in adding to their collection. I will be posting up a few One Piece figures soon since I have received a few awesome Christmas gifts and some Banpresto figures as well. I will update those in the next post; For now, here are a few figures by Max Factory, Ichiban Kuji, Figma, Banpresto, Figuarts, SCulture, and Master Star Piece. If there are any figures you wise to see or want to hear some updates on those, feel free to leave me a comment regarding those selections. Enjoy!

Master Star Piece: Naruto (Sage Mode)

Banpresto decided to make another Master Star Piece: Naruto, but this time with his Sage mode. Although I just got his regular Shippuden version, I'm contemplating whether or not I should get this or just pass on it. I will decide based on the price he comes out as. If the price is cheap enough, I would consider getting him otherwise he's not too much of a character I would care about. If there was a Kyubi Chakura mode or a 4th Hokage version of this, then I would definitely buy it!

Finally my Banpresto Master Star Piece: Uzumaki Naruto has finally came in and without a doubt the details and coloring on this figure is just amazing! Got him off Otacute for around 15$ which isn't too bad considering the clean finish he has on him. Even though I don't collect a lot of Naruto figures or anything, I still like him as a character and he goes well with my Portgas D. Ace as well. Here is a small gallery of the figure itself. Enjoy!

Banpresto has started making more of their new Master Star Piece collection line, which is another quality above the DX series. The Master Star Piece figures are around 25-26cm tall, which is 2x taller then the regular DX series figures (average heigh 14-16cm tall). They just release the pre-orders for Master Star Piece: Naruto on otacute and hopefully they will have a nice time skip version of Luffy to go along with it. They made a re-release of Master Star Piece of Portgas D. Ace, which has a matt finish and a flame item that goes along with it.
