Can it pull the crabwalk pose?

I bought this guy a while ago, and I'm really happy with him as well. I've been trying to decide on a couple more Aliens (Big Chap is the only sure purchase) but there's so many variations. As for Predator figures, Scar is awesome, but Neca is doing ultimate versions of their Jungle and City Hunter figures in the future. You might want to hold out if you want more "classic" Predators.

I was happy enough to keep my v2 of SSC Boba. HT version is awesome though.

I have the v1 SSC figure and I'm happy to retire it, was never happy with the vest even after I modded it. And with the HT Boba being a scaled down version of the amazing 1/4 I already own I'm excited.

Diggeh, I'm OG FigureGAF. I once woke up at 5am the second my unconscious body heard my cell phone's email sound for a FigInStock notification.

Freezy can you come back and run alerts we'll kick Diggle to the curb you seem more on top of it.
I think they all look great. Not my pics. SS Left.
How many Bobas is too many Bobas?

I know you are, Freezy! LINE is just too good in comparison to alert websites though. Having Toy LINEGAF and a separate toy alert group when something we all want goes up is awesome, especially since I stalk AmiAmi nightly. Gotta be on the lookout for those figures that go live at a designated time too!
Sure, it's mostly AmiiboGAF, but we have lots of cool people like--

Hot Toys Luke in my dimly lit cube at work. Need to study how people pose their figures, I am going vanilla to start. Proportions look warped a bit on my phone cam.

Secretly you have nothing and just run all the collectible groups to live vicariously through us.
There's a Jango coming? Aww man he will be mine.
Check out this incredible Age of Ultron Hulk statue/maquette review.
Wonder how much this costs.
Edit: $3000

Holy fuck it's 1:3 scale, Hulk is what 9 ft in the MCU?

Kind of surprised that second Scarlet Witch Hot Toy is wait list already. Feel like Marvel stuff hasn't really "sold" out as quickly in a really long time.
Received my Leia Hot toy today. Briefly opened her at work, seems much smaller than say, Black Widow, Gamora or Maria Hill but I'll compare at home (Probably cuz she was only 19 here? ). Really beautiful sculpt, they nailed how cute/pretty Carrie Fisher/Leia was at that age. Definitely one of the best likenesses on the Star Wars Hot Toys side.
Ant-Man, Boba Fett and Vision are all next week too I think. My credit card be blowin up! Tax refund is coming so I'll dump a chunk towards paying for these via CC payment.
Sadly I'll be moving in a few months so none of these will be on display for a while!

This Scarlet Witch version was fairly limited it wait listed on the first day as did the limited Cap from Civil War.

Ah, thanks. I didn't know they were limited. The fact that she is tempting me to waitlist...I have the first one from AoU. Maybe I'll grab the Civil War one instead but really I try not to get more than one of the same character if they're not an A-listers (Iron Man, Cap, etc).
Debating on pre-ordering the Black Panther or waiting a few years and see how he looks in his stand alone film. Hoping for a cape and some gold.
I will buy double dip on Guardians of the Galaxy Hot Toys for Vol 2 though. Star Lord with sideburns! Drax with...new pants?

The wait listed Scarlet Witch was a promo figure so she's more limited than the regular releases. That's why she sold out so quickly. Same with the battle damaged Cap.
Good points. While I still find the High Resolution extremely appealing, I am going to pass on it for now. I haven't built any kind of model since high school (when I had built some Gundam Wing models and other non-Gundam models). I think I agree that I would be better off dipping my toes back into modeling with some of the lower priced sets first to see how passionate about them I really am.
Btw, please let me know if Exia appears again. I'm kicking myself for not getting it when I had the chance.

if you want to save a few bucks, there's a MB red frame @cdjapan, only one (must be a cancellation)
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-163488
i'd grab it and cancel the bbts order to save a few bucks.

I don't even care for Gundam but that MB stuff is damn cool. Had to resist getting the Red.
Put an order in for SHF Panther, woop. Come on Spidey for 2017 release!

I'm probably being silly, but I don't want to risk something getting messed up in the process given the minuscule inventory we're talking about. I just had mishap recently while trying add/drop classes for my MBA program (the one dropped, but then the other displayed as 'full'). Again, I know I'm being paranoid, but I am just going to sit on it.
Thanks for the heads up though.
You know you want it.
I'm not a Gundam fan either, but I like the design of some of them, like the red frame
GChat is so much better lol
The good thing about these SH figures is that if you miss them they usually turn up on Amazon for what you'd pay for it + EMS and the $10 profit from the seller. I managed to snag ANH Luke from one of the sites (I forgot what one TBH) but he's already on Amazon.
Is it 2003 again? What's up with all this Yugioh stuff?

Edit. You know what, I kinda got disgusted with myself looking at that. Lol. That's $4000 in a year. I just canceled my WW HT and ate the NRD. Sticking to my plan as Gotham DC characters only. Bats, Joker and Harley for this year.

you won't regret getting one. v
yeah, it's not too much of a difference as BBTS has it for decent price.
you guys should try to get exia reprint if you're fans of the design and more open up.
blue frame will be coming out soon as well so you guys have options.
You fool! You were 1/10th of the way towards paying off that WW Hot Toys! Why would you give up now?

My CC was getting a little scary anyways. Had some unexpected expenses come up and was unable to pay off the SSC monthly payments and my balance was going up.
