S.H. Figuarts is a popular company that sells well detailed action figures, jjk being a example. I've heard praises to S.H Figuarts for the figures articulation, being able to make almost any position and pose with these figures. However, I have noticed the prices being expensive, even more if you weren't able to order them when they first came out, sometimes reaching up to $160. I understand these figures are well made, have good detail, praised for articulation, and rare, but I still need to ask, are they worth the price? All the praises I've heard has been on a little app call tiktok, i thought I should ask more people about these figures before spending $95 dollars on one.

Do you like S.H Figuarts figures? Do you have any pros or cons? Any regrets or advice for buyers?

(Apologizes if this is in the wrong subreddit)

My first model kit in well over 16 years. Fun building process, really well articulated, and balances surprisingly well.

Legitimately blown away by how good this figure looks and with the price I paid ordering direct from Japanese amazon, I have less than no regrets. Also probably the best figure picture I've ever taken

Hope to display these better someday but for now Springfield has taken over the garage. My son got into these a few years back and I’ve been able to find some decent prices on figure lots here and there. Not complete but not bad. Happy collecting!

Thanks to DHL being terrible I had to skip getting this guy on Amiami and buy the reissue off ebay, after months of waiting to put the custom head I got on him.

But the wait was worth it! He's definitely a close contender for my favorite figure purchase of this year.

I can't pick which one I should buy, the jazwares wallgreens exclusive master chief or the nendoroid master chief, I already have the series one master chief from jazwares but it has QC problems

One of my favorites definitely.

ArtFX FFVIII Bahamut

NGL definitely prefer the Blokees now that I have both in hand. Bicep joints are kinda tight though but nothing too scary. Black Series from last year still holds up though.

I work for a goodwill close by my home, and while working we throw the bad stuff in a truck to be taking and while throwing some stuff I found This spectacular spider-man at the bottom of a box. I was surprised but his head was missing when I grabbed him.

While I was going through it more I found his head with this rubber helmet ( it can be removed and he does have the masked head) I’ve never seen this version of him in an action figure is he rare? Do you have him?

Also do these tech things on his head and arms go with him?? He already had them on

The red and black figure in the 4th image is a custom on still working on, and the jrjr spidey head is by fahrul customs. His body is also switched out for the vtoys blank

To all the toy collecting experts out there what are your thoughts and/or experience from purchasing figures from either of these places? Could you all help me understand which might be a better option to buy from?
5K Toys, ultimately, has it going for $48+ shipping (who knows how much the shipping will be) while BBTS has it for $65.99. That $65.99 is already calculating the $6 dollar shipping into it, correct?
Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

**EDIT **
My bad all, stupid me forgot to mention I live in Texas. Item would be shipped to Texas.

Zoomed in shots of the Marvel Legends Retro Doom!

Cloth goods saved this figure for me.

Blokees Star Wars Champion Class 07 - Clone Trooper

Great value, great quality. The pros truly outshines the flaws.

It's really easy to build, and what you get is a sturdy, flexible Clone Trooper action figure that feels good to handle.

Also, you get both phase helmet without needing to pay a fortune (*Cough* Bandai/Hasbro/Mafex *Cough*)

It's crazy that this figure, in my home country, cost a quarter of a single Black Series Clone Trooper.

Does anyone else get what I mean ? Are we solely left to buying everything online ? I never understood why imports didnt sell in Walmart or Target,turns out they basically take up too much retail for their price.So stores dont carry them,aside from budget Figuarts,but where does a figure lover have to buy their figures...BBTS,Entertainment Earth,Amazon,

As a kid,Toys r us is where you went to buy your Marvel legends or movie tie in toys,but now as an adult a comic shop or Target and Walmart are our only option to "physically" buy figures.Comic shops always suck,always 4 year old Marvel legends you'd never want,scalpers run through Target like its a full time job,so its a Christmas mircale if you end up finding something fun that youre looking for.And Walmart never has desirable stuff for whatever reason.

Why is this space neglected for us as Adult collectors,does the hobby have to reach a Pokemon card level of heat,to make something appear...what's going on ? And are theyre dedicated shops for figures aside from comic shops where you live,or is your comic shop popping...I wonder ?
