The irony of a Tyler Durden figure is delicious.
When did she leave Hot Toys because I feel that as of late, their face sculpture has been off.

They have yet to show anything but it's pretty much a guarantee that it's being worked on right now. They'll probably even do Spider-Man.
It's a big Marvel movie. Meaning we'll pretty much get the entire roster.
Captain America
Ant-Man
Falcon
Hawkeye
War Machine
Winter Soldier
All that's left is:
Diecast Mark 46
Black Widow (Rehash)
Vision (Rehash)
Black Panther
Scarlet Witch
We'll see them as the following weeks go by. Black Panther is most likely taking the longest time due to it being a completely new figure. The rest of the roster is more or less a rehash.
Officially released in HK!
Upcoming and released figures
DAT FUCKING ULTRON!! SICK
I got Ultron Prime, Shotgun, Nick Fury and Mark 45/46 on PO.
Here's the updated Release list. Says HulkBuster is in May but we'll see

Depending on the material they use for Black Panther's costume, he could either be crazy poseable like MoS Superman, or a largely static figure like Black Widow or Wonder Woman.
Out of that batch, I only have the Mark 45 and Superman pre-ordered. Ultron was way too expensive for a design I really didn't like.

Speak of the devil. I'm not 100% fond on the suit's material but I understand it's hard to replicate in this scale. It's a bit too much of a shiny latex right now.
My only real complaint with the figure is that it needs to be way more chromed up! The necklace and forearm pieces are looking real cheap due to them just being a dull grey.

Damn, that BP is too cool for school.
These are like 500+ dollars but cool as heck.

I guess old but I only saw their mechs at wonder fest, I didn't know they had a figure like this.

Panther looks so good. Most excited I've been for a Marvel HT figure in a while.
I imagine it uses a lot of rubber, probably not the best material to paint chrome on.

I thought the same thing. I assumed that the figure would look like he does in the film. I mean, even the Panther POP vinyl got this right.

I'm happy it isn't using chrome HT has an awful track record using it.
Now you're making me concerned about my Phasma pre-order.

I'm both hyped and terrified by that figure.

My my recent Resident Evil figure showed up the other day. Nosferatu is my first Palisades figure.
This is a very cool figure, even if he has zero articulation. The sculpt is amazing, and the paint is gorgeous. When you get his back arm in click into place, he's about ten inches tall. Unfortunately I can't display him with it. The sculpt gives a figure a natural lean, and he becomes far too top heavy with the arm to stay up, even with the display stand. That said, he still looks awesome even without the towering appendage. Couldn't be happier with him.

Code Veronica was awesome
Extremely hard to preorder Metal Build Exia stealth popped up at Gundam Planet, get it while you can:
http://www.gundamplanet.com/metal-build-gundam-exia-repair-iii.html
it's little bit more than BBTS, BBTS is already sold out within 5 minutes.
this seems like really low allocation per store in JYP, hopefully more american retailers open up.

I love my CaRb (order him when they went up on preorder) but he is not worth $500. You can get him for around $300. After I got into this hobby, I learned to start following companies' social media accounts so I can get on top of preorders when they come available.

Photoshopped all the lines that I felt should be more silver since it's the thing that was bugging me the most. Brings a huge improvement to the figure. Gives it the nice contrast that it needs instead of it all just blending together through the black and grey. Looks more accurate as well.
Hope they tweak this by release but I'll most likely touch it up myself if they don't.
Easy to do since it's just minor panel lines and pieces.

I had Phasma on preorder but decided to wait. Gonna wait until impressions from you guys. But yea BP looks great and I can't to see them do Spidey.

Cool looking figure. Nice they gave him a set of swimming / flying hands.

I like how Marvel costume design has accepted the white eyes. This comes from a DC fan.

Oh my god, my fucking wallet. X-Plus already announced a Gigantic 1954 Godzilla that's supposed to drop somewhere around the release of Shin Godzilla in theaters in a few months. Now they unveiled a Gigantic 1962 Godzilla from King Kong vs Godzilla coming next month!
I don't know how I'm going to afford two Gigantics in the span of 2-3 months.

Nice but they charge immediately for preorder. I used my funds For Red Frame.

It's been awhile but finally put some cash together to get this guy. Mr C3PO. Really quality figure from Sideshow. Just need Leia and the Han and Chewie pack and I will have the whole gang minus Stormtrooper variants.

Keeping in line with the Star Wars theme, my Sideshow Biker Scout arrived today. As did Kylo Ren from Hot Toys last week. Here's some shots of the Biker Scout along with his pals. I have the Sideshow AT-AT driver on order as well. Just need to get the Sandtrooper variant and I'm feeling pretty good about my OT Imperial army collection!
Bonus picture #1 is of Kylo all posed out next to grand-daddy.
Bonus:
Finally three pictures of/most/ of the collection. I still have a bunch of stuff in storage and a few 1/4th NECA figures in my other room. Yes, I officially need more Detolfs!
Enjoy!

oh nice, i'm about to ship him and the backpack from private warehouse... just waiting for mp ratchet =)
i love how clean your detolfs look.
Hey Futurevoid, i got a new job this month that pays crazy (well the most i've ever had) and finally saved enough this month to get the HT delorean... was wondering if you passed on the fishtank or decided not to use it.
i'm thinking about getting it but might pass as well.

You can see it in the background in one of the pics I posted. I completely plan to use it but I'm waiting to get a cover and table for it for best display. I also want to print out a diorama to line it with.
I tested the size and its a perfect fit for both the car and Marty!davidwhangchoi
