Japan toymaker S.H. FiguArts is setting a new standard in small-sized action figures representing the state of the art of sculpt design technology from Bandai Toys, the fourth largest toy company in the world. Designed to mimic the range of motion of the human body, the series aims to focus on “Simple Style” and “Heroic Action.”
Arguably the best of these new designs is the S.H. FiguArts new Doctor Strange figure, designed specifically for the U.S. market, available later this year. The “Doctor Strange & Burning Flame Set” is a high-end 6-inch figure, about 1:12 scale. Doctor Strange’s facial expressions are replicated with superb detail utilizing Tamashii Nations’ digital coloring technology, a printing technique that enables reproduction of minute details in the creation of expressions–in this case–true to Benedict Cumberbatch’s portrayal in last year’s blockbuster film, Doctor Strange.
The figure is available for pre-order now from both Amazon here and Entertainment Earth here. This set is sold by special arrangement only in the U.S.
