Who's ready for another Marvel Legends flood? Spidey (Absorbing Man BAF wave) wave in stock at BBTS. Unfortunately they're off until the 28th, so I don't expect these to be in hand until after the new year what with all the holidays.
So stoked for Spider-Gwen.

Paid 32 bucks in a comic shop for a Black Series Greedo 6 inch fig.
Was that....too much?
And I love Greedo!

Can we get some more Vader pics
Why is there a Clint Howard action figure on the right?
I'm hyped for almost finishing the Superior Foes and for Jack. Marvel Legends next year is going to be scary.
Bought my first Hot Toys figure last black friday and boy I sure knew that was the beginning of a new addiction, now I'm planning on getting Kylo Ren.
I notice you guys use some great display boxes, any recommendations on where to get them?
The only ones I've been able to find are these from the container store.

I've bought so many Vader figures that I was going to pass on mafex vader. But... as it turns out he is quite possibly the best 6" scale Vader. All of them have small issues, it's just a matter of picking one that you feel has the best balance. For me, I love the Bandai version except that it's a tad short and the Vader helmet looks a too small.
I have the Figuarts Vader, Black Series Vader (normal and Emperor's Wraith Walgreens version)... I might add the Mafex to my collection. But I'm skipping the Model Kit (overrated IMO, body looks characteristically 'model it' to me) and the very odd Revoltech version.

already pre-ordered. hoping the majima preorder comes up not too long after but it's a figma so i imagine it'll be a while
Got the new SSJ Son Goku in. Where he's all beat up and his clothes are ripped. He looks amazing. Figuarts just continues to kill it with their DBZ line.
Not a fan of the face, but pre-ordered.Kiryu Figma pre-order up on amiami

Fantastic price, preordered. All I need is Poe and Han/Luke and I'll be done with TFA.

Preordered just Finn. Giving the lightsaber to someone else though.
Damn that price is crazy good! You get the best character in the whole film, and Finn, for the price of one.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Phasma should've had that wicked weapon.
Looks better than the promo pictures.

I need to get that Rey and BB-8. Goddam.
I find the promo pics are always photoshopped to hell and don't do the figures any favors. These pics and Secret Base pics always look better.

You mean you don't want figures of
Phasma who did absolutely nothing?!
Let this be a lesson to all hype trains.

With all the STAR WARS things i noticed there is too much R2 D2 (specially when he barely appears) and many other things but no BB 8 or Kylo Ren. :/
Barrow Roll
Member
And yet this happens pretty much every time with Star Wars, dating back to Boba Fett. Except that Boba Fett at least does more than
Phasma.
Still, I thought TFA was pretty good. There was some stuff throughout the movie that made me raise an eyebrow, but I enjoyed it overall. Finn, Rey, and BB-8 are fantastic additions to the Star Wars cast.

I'm still excited for my Phasma Hot Toy. It just looks incredible and she is confirmed for episode 8. I don't care if she is another Boba, just a cool looking piece.
It made me want to buy more actually.
Enough so that I might even dip into the Hot Toys pit. Previously I thought I'd just pick up an Iron Man and that's it.
Barrow Roll
Member
It certainly is.
Iron Patriot hardly did a thing in Iron Man 3, but it's still one of the best looking Iron Man figures that Hot Toys has done if you ask me.
Any more impressions or pics? I'm tempted to get it as my first figuarts dbz figure.
Got this guy for Christmas!
Best part though:
So one of the legs was a little wonky. The joint was loose and it seemed like something was kinda messed up with it since the gap was quite a bit bigger than the other leg. So I contact Amazon with the intention of exchanging it for a different one. Instead, they issue me a FULL REFUND. Not a return, just a straight up refund. Soooo I'm totally just keeping the figure, because I can live with a loose joint for the price of FREE.
Only sort of lame part is that since it was a Christmas present, my parents benefit from the refund, not me. But still.
But yeah, really happy with him overall! He's pretty badass and has the best articulation of any Monsterarts Godzilla.

One of my biggest disappointments.
I don't jump on them so fast anymore. I wasn't going to buy anything until I watched the movie.

I've decided when I get a job, I will preorder Rey and BB-8 as my first Hot Toys.

I've been thinking over that one. It's definitely very tempting.
