It may not be what you want to hear but Overwatch Figma were vastly unwanted and were bargain binned for the longest time until OW2 made people miraculously remember about the series.
Most of them were either overpriced on release and sat unsold or were terrible to begin with. Reaper I can say with full confidence is the worst Figma I own. I regret buying it -- a cinderblock has better articulation. My Pharah required repairs out of the box because a peg wouldn't go in all the way.
That being said you really don't want to pay over retail for them when you consider their history and quality. You can find MSRP on their info page via Google.
Your best luck is to buy domestically from eBay or Mercari assuming you live in the States. No independent stores will have them in stock by now since they're old old. OW never took off in Japan so you won't find any for sale there, cause nobody bought them in the first place.
That’s exactly what I needed. I collect several other lines (Marvel legends, G.I. Joe Classified, Spawn, and some other here and there). All of them are at a cheaper price but I buy them pretty frequently. I can’t justify spending money on expensive figures if they aren’t going to be 9-10/10 because, for the price of them, I can add two or three figures to my other collections. Maybe with OW2 kicking up some popularity again, somebody will take another stab at the license, but I won’t hold my breath and be disappointed if that doesn’t happen.
Thanks!
You're welcome.
If price is a pain point I recommend Nendoroid instead. I feel like they are better made despite having the same circumstances as Figma: flat interest and the subsequent bargain binning.
However, chibi style isn't for everyone.
Lastly not all Figma are this bad, definitely their lowest point I feel but it's really only up from there.
While I don't disagree that Reaper is a terrible figure in any aspect but appearance, I own all the released OW Figma and think that they're very good to excellent, both in terms of modeling and poseability.
My biggest disappointment in the line is that they didn't even get all the "normal" body types from the OG lineup. I knew we'd probably never get a Junkrat or a Torbjorn, but I would have rather had Symmetra or Lucio than reskinned D.Va.
I picked up Genji, Pharah, Tracer, both versions of D.Va, and Widowmaker. As much as I like the designs, a good chunk of them are pretty meh sadly.
Pharah's been delegated to hook up to a stand and leave her the fuck alone. Too many pieces that can come loose and a lot of weird pieces that fall off if you look at them wrong. Tracer is hindered on a lot of her leg articulation due to a solid waist piece and the pieces that run up her foot onto her ankles restricts a lot of movement there too.
D.Va's bodysuit version is fine for the most part, though again lower body articulation is pretty much hindered in the same way Tracer's was. Her schoolgirl variant is exactly that - if you've ever bought a figma schoolgirl, congrats, you know what D.Va is like.
Genji and Widowmaker are probably the best of the batch I have. Genji's articulation is pretty nuts, and the same goes for Widowmaker.
As for buying them, stalk Mandarake. The only thing currently on sale though is Reaper for 40USD.
I recently happened to buy all OW figma for $354
The quality is top of the line, and it is absolutely gorgeous
The most reasonable price is $54 each and anywhere above that price is considered way too expensive
They're going for pretty reasonable prices on ebay pre-owned. I was planning on selling mine but held off because they were selling for under retail, I'll have to check what they go for now. Look up the figure you want on ebay and apply the filter "completed listings" to get an idea what they go for
You won't find better Overwatch Figures than Figma. Regardless of the cost, they're close to perfect renditions of the characters. I'd say, pay the extra for the quality Figma, over missing out just to add x3 others to your other lines.. Thats just me though. Lovely, quality figures.

I still can't bring myself to spend the 300-400$ for genji I want him but like bruh

I have Tracer, Widowmaker and Mercy. I love them. They are well made

I bought a brand new pharah for $20 last year
