Released in HK. Can't wait for Luke and Vader to hit the states. They should ship out from Sideshow roughly the same time.

Not feeling that face, it looks off to me.
Unboxed the threezero 1/6 scale Commander Shepard last night at work. Pretty nice figure.
OMG, I didn't know it came with such a badass helmet. I might consider it now.
As some say elsewhere, he resembles more Tom Cruise than Mark Hamill. It's not bad but yeah.. it's off, I would point out the eyes and the hair.

How good is the leg articulation? I canceled my preorder after the Master Chief fiasco. Still kinda tempted to get it though.

The bottom half also detaches so you can have the mouth exposedl.
The full unhelmeted headsculpt was only included in the Exclusive edition, the Retail edition only includes the helmeted head.
I didn't have any trouble getting it to do any of the poses I was trying, but I also wasn't trying anything extreme like crouches or the splits. It feels like standard 1/6 leg articulation, which is fairly good. The undersuit is fabric, not rubber.

I would pay good money to get some custom pinballs that look like that.

How was his face though?

He's got his Empire saber rather than his A New Hope one. Weird.

The Retail edition doesn't come with a face. Here's everything included with the Retail edition:
The most you can do is remove the lower half of the helmet to expose the mouth, which looks fine, but I think I prefer the full helmet.
I finally got a preorder in for the clone trooper... Still trying to get in on the first order stormtrooper.

good, I still looking for a Figarts Kylo Ren, my best bet will probably be close to release or on release date.
Didn't want to annoy you guys and girls but I figured if you have any interest in ThreeA stuff I would let you know that I have a handful of figures up for sale in the B/S/T thread.

In case anyone was interested, I have an extra NYCC 2015 Truforce Mega Man Kai-X that I'm selling in the sale/trade thread.

1/4 HT Boba comes tomorrow! Super excited. I don't do 1/4 scale figures very often due to price, and the only one I'd buy from Star Wars besides him is a Phasma.

Thanks to Battlefront, stayed up way past my bedtime for work and saw the figinstock alert for Figuarts Kylo on Amiami. Have everyone pre ordered now. Can't wait to blow up Instagram with pics of these guys.

Man, this might come off as racist, but I pretty much avoid anything from Hong Kong for fear that its a bootleg or a factory defect for higher end figures (Figma, figuarts, etc).
This is based off of experience ordering from hong kong sellers where a figma I ordered pretty much fell apart. I have bought from Hong Kong sellers on ebay and amazon for army building figures such as Stormtroopers or Mandolarians for the 3 3/4 Star Wars lines and even bought the TMNT NECA knock offs so I can keep my originals in box. The Turtles had some iffy joints if I got rough with them but were a great substitute. I couldn't tell the difference from a store bought Hasbro trooper vs this "factory defect" one.

Is it usually like 4-6 weeks from Hong Kong release to Sideshow release for Hot Toys?

It's pretty pointless trying to predict when they'll drop at this point, Sideshow is all over the place with shipping dates nowadays.

My TruForce Mega Mans just got here. I never even got a tracking number for them. I'll post a pic later tonight when I get home.
yea, i don't even keep track anymore.

Lol I think everyone that orders their first HT online goes through this. Once you order enough you learn to forget about it and then stress when they all ship at once. That's how the game works.

Finally bought shelves for these cabinets. Need to order two more and fix the lighting. Little too dark on the top shelves.

The fuck?
Slutty female Aliens figure?
Apparently this is going to be a new line of figures too under the Hot Angels banner.
I feel like the only person excited about buying this

If its based on H.R. Giger's source material (as it is) then you can be sure that it'll be pretty phallic in nature.

Dunno, a friend just linked me to it, but doing a quick search I found it on here:
http://www.shopfourhorsemen.com/mythiclegions.html
hell yes, bless you. their other order page for it still says sold out.
Those figures are all so rad.
I'm always super skeptical of quality and articulation and whatnot on seemingly no-name figure manufacturers though.

No problem! Post some pics when you get it.
They are pretty cool, but I'm with you. Who knows what the quality is like. I really like the vulture and the rooster though, heh.
