Ugh, yeah, the lower neck looseness seems to be happening to more people than not. Why didn't they make both necks the same so they could be swapped? Why did they make the masked neck unable to move at the bottom of the neck? So weird and unnecessary. And I STILL love the figure. I'm such a sucker.

[@VictoriasCantina]

I imagine the Figuarts team sitting in a darkened room scheming and discussing what they can do to make the figures at least a little frustrating for collectors. It's like the loose torso on Jango or the removable hair and faceplates on Luke. I see little logic in some of these decisions. But what can you do? It's still an enjoyable figure for sure.

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, yup, agree. Almost like "Hey, we can't make these perfect, that's no fun."

[@Linkie1313]

Great review! Did you try black series kylo cape on this kylo?I am very curious if it fits him...

[@BoyG10]

The SHF saber blade looked more realistic in comparison to the Mafex’s. The former had the ignition and flickering feel while the latter one looked more like a toy kit.

[@TheAwkwardSilent]

Interestingly, looking at the promotional material, Kylo's belt in TLJ doesn't seem to have any silver elements to it, and that it's all black. So maybe Figuarts got that bit right?

[@THE_PATMAN_87]

Thanks for showing both necks and heads switched i was looking for someone to show if that was possible thanks! Love your channel!

[@VictoriasCantina]

I'm glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching!

[@GlassesnMouthplates]

Seems like mine is probably the only few that didn't have that loose lower neck issue, although it does easily pop off when I try to turn Kylo's head on the lower neck joint. I somewhat believe that lower neck connection wasn't meant to be for articulation considering the whole neck does seem to be design to fully fill in the neck socket with almost no clearance for it to have the neck rotated or bend around.

[@GraphicIllusionsStudios]

Has anyone tried putting the masked head/neck from this one on the Force Awakens SHF Exclusive unmasked version and conversely used the hand with the helmet attached to the new TLJ Kylo? I have both, but haven't had the time to hunt down the pieces and to play Frankenstein yet. Loving this figure and the Rey that arrived this week. Also for the first time EVER I "double dipped" and SHF SW figure by buying another farm boy Luke to keep in the "training ball" pose/getup while using my original one with the SDCC Landspeeder if I ever open it. lol

[@mariogl5381]

SH Figuarts Last Jedi Luke Skywalker just leaked a few hours ago!!!!! Hope he is not a Web exclusive though.

[@VictoriasCantina]

Yup! Saw it and the new Vader. A little disappointed in Vader but Luke looks pretty nice.

[@andresmoralescabrera3516]

I have like two options the force awakens Kylo ren or the last Jedi kylo ren which should you say is better Victoria (talking about accessories and moving and stuff)

[@VictoriasCantina]

Honestly I think The Rise of Skywalker Kylo Ren, if we're talking SH Figuarts, is the one to get. I did a review of him a few months back. The costume looks better and he has more accessories.

[@andresmoralescabrera3516]

Victoria's Cantina oh ok thanks

[@TrioPack2222]

Black Series with SHF face print technology is probably the best type of figure that will be available.

[@Snowmation]

The head sculpt for the unmasked head is what really sells me with this figure. Not a huge fan of the butterfly shoulder joints though. They stand out a bit too much for me. Same goes for the elbow joints. Still a really nice figure, just not a home run.

[@VictoriasCantina]

Yes, same here for sure. Without that head it's still a good figure, but not quite a great one. The unmasked head helps push it into great territory even though there are other flaws. I'm kind of mixed on the butterfly joints. They don't look great, but they allow more movement. There are always pros and cons with these figures.

[@m.c.l.a_studios]

Would you recommend getting the mafex force awakens Kylo Ren over the tlj sh figuarts Ren?

[@Love.043]

Is there anyway we can pop the head and use it with the black series one? The body seems small for th head. Thanks for providing detailed review.

[@BoyG10]

Pretty correct if you should look at how large a head Adam Driver has. I almost thought he was paintbrushed when he first appeared in TFA.

[@NiteOWL82]

Great review. The helmet looks good. I love my mafex kylo but the helmet looks big compared to the sh figuarts. Figuarts looks more screen accurate

[@VictoriasCantina]

Thanks! Yeah, it's hard to compare them justly since the scales are slightly different between the two. I feel like the MAFEX is more film accurate and has better detail overall.

[@martinanderson8815]

Unmasked head is great great accessories but what can I say im a hasbro guyove the black series great review

[@VictoriasCantina]

Thanks for watching!

[@mr.romovik7877]

Someone can confirm me, if I can use the black series cape in the sh kylo ren ?

[@VictoriasCantina]

Mr. Romovik Yes

[@eliotdesousaprat2275]

Hi ! Good review as usual ! Could you give me a secure Japanese import site where I could buy this figurine and others ?

[@VictoriasCantina]

Thanks! I usually order from either AmiAmi (where I got Kylo Ren from) or Hobby Link Japan.

[@jamesharbold]

It is ugly at the elbows where the bend is, especially front on.

[@jamesd.5301]

I love kylo ren figures but this one looks horrible. those joints are hideous. I can't stand collectors that are only about articulation. Don't get me wrong, articulation is important but To a certain extent. I much prefer the black series to this garbage. I don't need my kylo to do the splits or some incredibly ridiculous pose that he has never done. And those butterfly joints though... 😩 Sorry just had to get that off my chest. Love your channel! Keep up the great reviews.

[@mgvillanmp478]

Looks like he got lipstick on though ...and the arms look thin compared to the waist ..don't look too bad but I got to agree ..few more highlights would make this guy pop ..yea that peg looks too short that's unfortunate maybe they will improve that as time goes on still looks kinda cool ... nice work always enjoy watching your vids

[@BoyG10]

Not too bad on the lipstick here if you should look at those recent Hasbro VC Luke figures. It’s madness. 😁

[@gasti_musri]

Sbody knows in which physical stores are the shf figures?

[@VictoriasCantina]

Not in the US due to licensing issues. Hasbro owns the 6" market in the US. Most collectors I know import them from Japan.

[@gasti_musri]

@@VictoriasCantina i asked cause i seen a picture with mafex and sh f figures at barnes & noble

[@VictoriasCantina]

@@gasti_musri Then why are you asking? LOL. I think they had an exclusive deal for a little while but I don't know how many they carried, and if it's still something they're doing.

[@gasti_musri]

@@VictoriasCantina thanks, i wanted to make sure

[@VictoriasCantina]

Gaston Musri No worries. I don’t mean to give you a hard time. Just in jest. Let me know if you go and find anything.

[@darthkamen6564]

Ok, I feel stupid for thinking this but....It looks like Snape. I'm serious, that's what I think of when I see his face sculpt.

[@VictoriasCantina]

A lot of people have said that about this figure.

[@NiteOWL82]

Will you be getting the kylo throne room figure?

[@VictoriasCantina]

Yes, if I Walmart.com ever gets it back up. I missed it when it went up briefly recently.

[@Sammy1970]

It a pass for me I’m afraid! Great review though👍🏽

[@VictoriasCantina]

Cool. Thank you for watching!

[@mgvillanmp478]

Wow that's a huge difference between the mayfex and the figurarts ...the mayfex one looks better

[@VictoriasCantina]

Oh yeah, big time.
