Well there is quite a few comic fans like myself who also read manga and watch anime. And a lot of people start with marvel legends but the figures as of recent haven’t been the best and they have been really bad with accessories as of late, like it is the cheaper side of figures but some figs don’t come with fists anymore.
The only problem with having the Imagination Works one is that it doesn't scale well with other figures as it is not a 1/12 scale figure. Other than that, it's a lot better than the SHF but will still collect SHF since I plan on making a Shonen protagonist shelf. Nice video btw!
You can call me thrifty because I enjoy finding deals that don't break the bank. This SHF Luffy figure not only looks great on your shelf but also leaves your finances intact, sparing you from questioning your life choices 😅😅😅 It's a win-win! Get the SHF luffy!
Agreed and the shf is a solid figure for the revived one piece line but if they're going to do another luffy then it should be near the same price as zoro and sanji and have afew armorment haki effects,atleast one gum gum effect,face plates,etc
Imagination Works is definitely superior but considering it's waaaay more expensive, as well as being 1/9 scale, it's purely for fans that want just that one figure of Luffy. The SH Figuarts one is more for 1/12 collectors since it's much cheaper and it's in scale with lots of other figures
I think the Figuarts one is the better overall value if you're a casual collector and just want a decent Luffy on your shelf. Is the other one better? Sure. It's just not worth paying over double the price in my case.
I’m not sure, I think if you’re a casual collector the IW Luffy is the better choice. Sure, he’is more expensive and out of scale but he’s probably also the one definitive Luffy you’ll ever want, while the SHF version is cheaper and in scale, the second new figures come up that are better he’ll get replaced in a second, probably costing you way more in the long run. For collectors who want to build the whole crew however and mix and match with other collections, there the SHF version seems the better option. I doubt IW will do the entire crew (maybe the big 3 with Zoro and Sanji, but beyond that I seriously doubt it). More than money and scale, it’s what type of collector you are that informs the choice and for a casual collector I would definitely go for the best version, even if it’s more expensive.
@@jarosbodytko6462 When I said casual collector I meant someone who doesn't want to spend a lot on a figure. Either way, now that I have the SHF one, I can say that I don't regret going that route. He's one of my favorite figures I own. I also got Zoro and Sanji SHF and Anime Heroes Chopper and Usopp. The Chopper and Usopp scale well with the SHF. I'm glad I went with the cheaper, smaller scale.
And the shading is like that because it supposed to look like it came out from the anime. The other action figure looks like that because it’s supposed to look like that supposed to look realistic.
I've never seen someone not talk about the articulation flaw in this Luffy Imagination Works, where the flip-flop bends in the Imagination Works while Sh Figharts doesn't have this flaw.
I'm not going to lie I just got the SH figure arts monkey d Luffy and it has so many QC problems. I'm actually kind of upset right now. The right leg just keeps popping off anytime I try to move it or pose it. It's literally not even holding on because there's no type of anything to hold it
To be fair, SH Figuarts luffy is meant to be an entry figure to the One Piece line. Other figures have more of his accessories which is incentive for people to buy them. Imagination Works Luffy seems to be a one-off so that might be why it has more stuff. Also, it is larger, so cloth goods are easier to do. Knee articulation on Figuarts Luffy is awful though with no excuse.
@@bak1069 since I made that comment, I did get my hands on one and I have to agree. Though I think it’s mostly due to the skirt and that restrictive crotch piece. Sanding the latter and replacing the former with soft goods may fix the problem, although I’d have to find a talented 1/12 scale tailor
Personally I don't like the use of cloth and realistic shading on the imagination works because it makes it look too realistic. I want it to look like a cartoon. Also, I think poseability and articulation are redundant categories. Also, the pricepoint is a huge factor
It’s not hating on a figure if said figure is clearly inferior. I have my fair share of SH Figuarts and it was my favourite company at some point, but now it’s only fair to say their quality varies significantly depending on the franchise and sometimes even within the same franchise. And with prices climbing higher and higher it’s hard to justify buying SH Figuarts anymore. I’d rather have a more expensive figure that checks all the boxes and will be a keeper than a cheaper figure that leaves you wanting for better and will be replaced the second a newer one comes up. Although it seems one-sided, this review is more than fair. I seriously consider buying the Imagination works Luffy now, especially with the interchangeable eyes giving an insane amount of expressions.
Not really. Yes, the SHF is much cheaper but it’s quality is simply much worse than other SHF of a similar price. Their quality varies immensely and when you know that accessory count is what mostly drives up the price, not build quality, than SHF Luffy is simply not a good figure. Zoro and Sanji cost 20 $ more and they’re also not great. Price isn’t enough to justify poor quality. IW Luffy is expensive, but the build quality, face options and accessories are excellent. plus original retail was around 60-70$ instead of what it costs now so that makes the quality even more impressive for that price.
figuarts faces look "evil" instead of angry which doesnt fit the character of luffy, iam figuarts collector but besides the price its clear win for imagination works
Great video and all, but you're comparing a $50 figure to a near $300 one it really isnt fair and obviously the Imagination works figure is going to be superior, kind of a no brainer.

When he said: you don’t want a action figure with no accessories: marvel legend fans
Where did marvel legends fan come from I’m not a marvel legend fanboy

Fits will with dc mcfarlane 😂
It’s also what made him that quality with the eight they can give him really good details
Megahouse vers fits well with luffy Imaginations Works
Start collecting variable action one piece figures, he can scale with them
@@thesenate7710 only problem is I’ve heard megahouse will not continue the line. Also I much prefer SHF as it scales well with other anime SHF lines
Not a fan of the imagination works line but that luffy is a banger, highly recommend him to any one piece fan

The music is here!!! Love it 🔥
Now you just need the subtitles and ur officially on the way to be a big video/short creator!
You don’t need them all the time but just every now and then would be a good touch :)
Thanks for the tips!
you should probably add a category for price, just to make future comparisons more fair
Good video. I was set on buying the imagination works one until I opened the amazon link and it was 300 dollars.

I did not expect sh figures to ever have a bad figure but here it is
its not bad
its not bad its just an unfair comparison
To be fair newer luffy is 35$ and imagine works luffy is like 100$ of course your gonna get something good
I usually go for scale and poses. So for a bigger figure that all makes sense that I'd be better. If it wasn't better I'd be a lil salty. Lol
hehe I got my imagination works when it was newly released here in HK Its so worth it
only thing shf did better was the sandals toe articulation

How did I you get that luffy if it comes out on the 31st?
I got mine from a Japan website, the japan release comes out before us
Bro rlly said don’t buy this $35 buy the $150 one it’s better and the other one is garbage 😂🙊
Real
Also sh figuarts luffy does have some effect pieces and all its just something you buy separately which can be anoyying but they look good
Now I know witch one to get thanks bro.
Np 😉
5:06 "a little bit more money"
add the VAH Megahouse into the Mix
Another w vid
Thanks 🙏
IW luffy was like 60 retail price though and for the quality of the figure it is a great price for him
And the shading is like that because it supposed to look like it came out from the anime. The other action figure looks like that because it’s supposed to look like that supposed to look realistic.
Hopefully the newly announced shf Luffy will be better than the one we have now!
I've never seen someone not talk about the articulation flaw in this Luffy Imagination Works, where the flip-flop bends in the Imagination Works while Sh Figharts doesn't have this flaw.
Can you review toyotarou shf goku?
W vid also I got three new legends which a ultron, captain America and iron man
W pickups
i need one of those🤯
My only problem with the imagination works one is that something about his eyes looks off
hey, can you tell me when the imagination works luffy is back
eey im early :D
You should compare the megahouse luffy with the shf luffy
Yeeeeeeessssssssssss
Tbh my fav is megahouse
You can take out the back of the shfiguarts luffy pants
W video💯
The winner is imagination luffy “punches shf” beating up noises”
The weirdest part about shf Luffy is that every figure in the one piece line is gonna have a Luffy accessory
my brother got a Luffy & Nami accessory from an usopp figure
they really want you to buy this figure lol
4:30 “I wish sh figuarts did more sh**ting to it”
Gread video by the way😅

its crazy how one piece is the biggest anime rn and we get such sucky figures@@GigaPK
@@bak1069 hopefully, that’s turning around. Sanji looks pretty good and seems pretty poseable!
question: if i shop on bigbadtoystore what type gift card should i get
What do you mean
@@dft.collects what we were talking about yesterday with yoshi
Imaginatiin Luffy is the best of Luffys action figure!
W!!!
Where can i get the imagination works one
3:11 the shitting on the pants
There was a leak about a shf Luffy Accesories pack
That would be sick I hope they make it
Amazing Yamaguchi has been doing multiple eyes
Where is the link to buy IW luffy
"Pricing" should have been a category
But what's the price difference? 🤔
Sh figuarts: 35
Imagination: over a 100, maybe more now
Imagination works is better, my only problem with it was the scale
I would the imagination one but he’s to big
Personally I don't like the use of cloth and realistic shading on the imagination works because it makes it look too realistic. I want it to look like a cartoon. Also, I think poseability and articulation are redundant categories. Also, the pricepoint is a huge factor
I have both
i would only want imagination works luffy if he had the same torso as the sh figuarts luffy
Huge issue for me is that shf luffy is expensive where I live
thats good but daym thats a big price
The Wich better is both of them when luffy iss my favorite
this video is like don kreeg vs post time skip luffy

Sh luffy does have hockey arms you just have to buy it separately
Personally I like SH Figuarts Luffy because it's small, has good articulation and the faces just resemble Luffy a lot
The figure absolutely does not have good articulation. It's seriously a bad figure comparison to others
@@Dallas_iskok I absolutely change my mind there's no way I can do stop motion with it, it's legs keep coming off!!!!

Wait a second you're telling me that an expensive figure is better than a cheap one? Shocking if true!
0:04 to figure out😂

they are both accurate?
IW is more detailed
@@spooli06 it’s a joke since imagination works luffy is rubbery
3:11 why is sound like ur saying the shizzing on the pants
Hi DFT
Hi Robbie ☺️
idk why but there's something about the imagination works that rubs me the wrong way, I think it kinda looks like a doll, idk why
BRO I JUST BAUGHT THE SH FIGUARTS ONE AND SAW I COULD HAVE GOT A BETTER ONE BUT I DONT HAVE ANY MORE MONYYYYYYYYYYYY
IMAGINATION WORKS LUFFY IS GOING FOR LIKE $236 RN
Do you think I should buy The Imagination Works Monkey D. Luffy?
This is such an unfair comparison when the IW Luffy is 4x the price
Not really. Yes, the SHF is much cheaper but it’s quality is simply much worse than other SHF of a similar price. Their quality varies immensely and when you know that accessory count is what mostly drives up the price, not build quality, than SHF Luffy is simply not a good figure.

IW Luffy is expensive, but the build quality, face options and accessories are excellent. plus original retail was around 60-70$ instead of what it costs now so that makes the quality even more impressive for that price.
It still doesnt make up for the unfair comparison. Thats like trying to compare a cheaper indie game to a full price, high budget AAA
W
The only thing that Shfiguarts wins in is price. Shfiguarts is about 40$-60$ while imagination works one is 100$+
Imagination works Luffy is better in my opinion, but SHF isn't bad either
figuarts faces look "evil" instead of angry which doesnt fit the character of luffy, iam figuarts collector but besides the price its clear win for imagination works
no way!! the figure that costs way more is a better figure!!!!!!!!!!
If only imagination works Luffy wasn’t so damn big
Fr he’s massive
Dawg. Do not use a screw driver to remove the eyes. Use the given tool

I’m going to watch it too
GARP!!!
Robinson Carol Hernandez Melissa Davis Jessica
Ah yes, $35 vs $150+
A fair battle
Btw what yall think would win in durability a 5 dollar glass mug a 50 dollar steel cup, i think its a fair fight
and yet both miss LITTTERLY the most import thing about a luffy figure. his ability to stretch WHY DONT THEY ADD IT
To be fair imagine works one is more expensive and a little big.
Great video and all, but you're comparing a $50 figure to a near $300 one it really isnt fair and obviously the Imagination works figure is going to be superior, kind of a no brainer.
Imagination works Luffys original retail price was 115, but I get your point
Why are you hating on SH figure arts they’re really good
they did the disparity in quality on purpose. both figures are under tamashii nations.
The imagination works will obviously be better the luffy is made for you to get into SH figuarts hence why it's cheaper than the others
Monkey luffy man
Well ones 35 bucks and the other is like 150 so I would hope imagination works is better
of corus amagination works is better bc its 100$ and sh is 20 or 30$
