I'm about as happy with this as I can be given the situation. My favorite look for Ichigo, with effects pieces, updated/better faces, better hair, better head articulation and okay articulation everywhere else. I think other people that were already enjoying the line somewhat feel the same way. By SHF Bleach standards, it's a good addition. The best by far. Glad they added a forearm balljoint. I felt that was lacking in the first place and feel it should be on the lower leg as well. If they update the legs, I'd be absolutely fine with that, though. It's just not a dealbreaker, I got used to it, and I don't think they're as absolutely heinous as some do. But if the people unhappy with them push Bandai to improve it? I'd be happy too. Would probably end up replacing the legs on the older figures if they do end up improving them, lol.
My 2 favorite anime characters are Rurouni Kenshin and Ichigo, but sadly, I can not find good figures of them. Your reviews on them have me hoping one day a company will make good figured of them.
My favorite is the previous outfit(Fullbring Bankai) but this is a close second. This is most definitely the best Bleach Figure so far and it’s not bad. Also you are the first person to pull the ball peg out lol The face is too small. It’s like suction cupped to the neck. Limits head movement. Bleach has single jointed arms and One Piece has single jointed Knees. I am howling because Naruto is the only good one😭
I cancelled mine and I love Bleach so that kinda says a lot lol. I hate that Bandai keeps releasing wanted characters/designs as exclusives and the "premium" is just in the name. The figure isn't that special at all and it looks super plasticky. These releases are also more expensive since you can buy them only in certain sites, that sucks. QotD: Bankai Ichigo with his Vizard (Visored?) mask is my favorite version.
you should buy and try yourself,or check other channel reviews,this guy isn't the best to judge not Naruto figure, 5 out of 10 is hating man, 5 out of 10 don't look that good lol trust me,anyway,if you deleted your preorder bcz of this video check other reviews
@IchigoKurosaki-jz1hx No, I cancelled my preorder way before the video. Bandai Premium Exclusives prices are higher than normal releases and don't really offer anything really "premium" at all.
@IchigoKurosaki-jz1hx Bro, why do you keep neglecting my opinion? I already gave my reasons and you keep blaming Anthony. The figure looks very plasticky and is more expensive when it's pretty much just as good as any other regular figuarts. I'd rather save that money for a version I am more fond of; there was a leak showing that Bandai will make Bankai Ichigo with his Hollow mask, I'd rather wait for that one.
Got mine on preorder on Amazon Anthony appreciate the review and excited about getting in January next year and the pants don’t bother me kind of like them and great movements 👌👌👌
I love Bleach and the creator's draftsmanship but as much as I've wanted posable figures, these designs just don't lend themselves to hard plastic. Zaraki is my favorite and I've passed on the figure unless I see it for cheap.
Narutee is currently the best line on SHF atm xD waiting for the new Berserk Guts, Casca and hoping you review it. Seems an improvement but we'll see... I have high hopes for it. Thanks!
@@dankbuster2181 yeah. Im hoping they fix alot of problems from previous guts especially that shoulder when you pose it looks ugly. According to the pic seems they fixed it.
Idk I haven’t collected any yet so I can very much be speaking out of terms. But the shf yugioh line is looking absolutely killer. Every new announcement or drop just seems better and better. First time I’ve wanted to collect an entire line in awhile.just don’t want to hurt my wallet.
Out of the “new” Bleach stuff this Dual Zangetsu is easily my fav version of Ichigo However nothing beats pure classic Soul Society Ichigo or Full Hollowfication for me
I prefer Ichigo right after he leaves the place where time is disoriented to fight Aizen. Not mugetsu but just base Ichigo with his sword growing into his hand and older looking
I agree with you on the ugliness of the pants and the more limited articulation, but given the design of the character itself, how would you recommend Bandai does it (other than soft goods)? Yusuke and the Naruto line have really good articulation, but the designs of the characters aren't wearing super baggy and flowing clothes afaik. Like for the single jointed elbows. It sucks, but what would they do to make the range better that doesn't also break the sculpt even more? Same with the legs as well. Just curious as to your thoughts.
I would like to see a video with some examples of how to do the best articulation with a few figures as examples. SHF tanjiro is a good example of how they can make good baggy clothed figures without soft goods.
@@TheKiddo400 SHF Geto (Jujutsu Kaisen) is a good example too. If they did that for the Bleach (and Kenshin) figures, it'd not only look more smooth, but also have more range. They just need to make the ends of the pants open instead of bunched up.
This figure is incredibly improved from the previous releases. They even resuculpted new elements, like his knees, the pants, the hair sculpt, and better face printing. Check out some other reviews, and you'll see exactly what I'm saying.
This is by far Bandai’s biggest problem, they don’t improve from figure to figure. Only occasionally and all at once. So if they try something that doesn’t work, you’re stuck with it for years.
Anthony REALLY hates the Bleach legs and knees. And he has every right to, but that meant that this rating was a foregone conclusion. I don't think the figure would have ever gotten above a 6 at best by him with those legs. For those for who the legs aren't a dealbreaker, it was still an informative review. I'll take the rating with a pinch of salt since the extreme level of hatred for the legs isn't necessarily objective (even if I don't disagree that they should be better). I think King Cold for example is way worse and that one got a better rating.
@AnthonysCustoms and i said it's a problem ok, but 5/10? Seriously man? Even judging the appereance of the character in the ARC as a rating in a FIGURE???!
me enjoying the mcfarlane bleach ichigo while watching this i hope shf folds and make the figure with soft goods if they can’t make the pants better out of plastic
@ The only reason why he has whiskers is cause of the fact that he’s the jinchuriki of the nine tailed fox, which is a FOX 😭😭(idk if you jus bsing or nah so I’d appreciate it if you could tell me so I don’t feel stupid 😭)
Fun fact: If you played the game Bleach Brave Souls, this version of Ichigo does a special move with the swords and the effect from one is blue🔵 and the other one is red🍒, and I think it would've been cooler if they went with this approach on the figure, would've gave this figure a lot more charm In my opinion.
Plus I think they should've gave the forearm ball peg to the shins, maybe that's also why the proportions look a little off because the hands look too wobbly and the legs are straight bricks, very disappointing...
@@fuyoutubeyesyou yes it is, the thousand year blood war has had an anime adaptation running for three years, and in that anime his getsugas are yellow.
Eh nah. They’re the most inconsistent though I’ll give you that but they have plenty of budget 35$ releases and more affordable options. They’re also reasonably priced if you’re importing yourself. Still terribly inconsistent though and also doesn’t change the fact marvel legends are 1. Over priced as hell 2. Rarely ever give you enough to justify the price.
Shf has incredibly bad figures for the price but they also have incredibly good figures too. Marvel Legends does not have very good figures ever. They're sometimes just good enough.
I want OG Bankai Itchigo with the Hollow Mask! Version 2 I think with all the red stripes one side…..that was PEAK 😌.
The First time he fought Byakuya n GrimJow
Yes the best One😁
Same 🎉
@@funlitegun2656 YES’ Some of my favorite moments IN anime! That fight was To Good🤓
The next figure is a hollowfied Ichigo but no pictures yet so unsure which version it will actually be…
@ Ah Cool. Ok Good . And thank you for the intel, I’ll be on the lookout for it 😁

Feels like you've had a run of figures that are stark white and black. You do a good job with your color balance and lighting.

However nothing beats pure classic Soul Society Ichigo or Full Hollowfication for me
My 2 biggest issues with their Ichigo is the face plates are OFF big time. And the pants should have definitely been soft goods
they look off exactly as the Yusuke ones to me too, big eyes very close to each other.
Not big surprise if is the same bandai dude who did these 2
I know next to nothing about anime. I just like to tune in to see how they did the knees on the baggy pants differently this time than last time.
Damn his torso looks very tubular
Thanks for the review sir, may I recommend reviewing SHF Kaiju No. 9, heard very good things about him and you may enjoy him
Hey anthony idk if you have ever done this but can you show one of your best figures that you own
I prefer Ichigo right after he leaves the place where time is disoriented to fight Aizen. Not mugetsu but just base Ichigo with his sword growing into his hand and older looking
that’s Dangai Ichigo, so badass👌
@KingFlea121 Dangai Ichigo! That's it, I haven't watched bleach in like 5 years and forgot. Haven't even seen any of the new stuff 😭
I really think the Bleach line just need to release Azien and Yama to get some more hype

@@TheKiddo400 Those pants are drastically different from the ones worn in Kenshin or Bleach it's not the same remotely
EoS Ichigo (this one) is definitely my favorite. Kubo did a great job with his design in this final arc.
I want the one with the giant knife basically his second zanpacto
Damn, they don't improve shit, what a shame
They're already 6 figures deep into the line. They aren't going to change the pants at this point.

Are you going to review the Crypt great wolves?
Yes. I have 2 of them. Probably next week
I don't know if in hands it would be better, but the head sculpt for me is just... off.
I dont get the hate for the pants. Lol
also itachi looks like a doll,Madara too weird,they got no nose ,the fabric cape looks bad,

Looks near a DC multiverse

His face looks bad tbh.
how?
You like to shit on marvel legends, but I honestly think that S.H. Figuarts is the worst in terms of quality/price
Eh nah. They’re the most inconsistent though I’ll give you that but they have plenty of budget 35$ releases and more affordable options. They’re also reasonably priced if you’re importing yourself.
Still terribly inconsistent though and also doesn’t change the fact marvel legends are
1. Over priced as hell
