Yo I need those Lupin figures. When are they dropping?Figuarts Zenigata and Jigen are Tamashii Web Exclusives. FANTASTIC. The one company finally making all the Lupin team figures and two of the pivotal cast members are Web Exclusive. Guess BBTS will be getting my business if I can preorder them fast enough. Ugh.
Oh, and guess what? Figuarts Panther is Web Exclusive too, meaning BBTS will probably be scalping him for $100+.
GREAT.

Both are up on P-Bandai (click the names), but I haven't found any middlemen offering them yet for US imports. BBTS hasn't listed either of them and the only ones I can find are preorders on eBay.
Lupin and Fujiko just released this week.

I don't know how badly I need dinosaur toys in my life, but those are really cool.https://www.kickstarter.com/project...c-raptor-series-action-figure?ref=hero_thanks
Kickstarter for Beasts of the Mesozoic: Raptor Series Action Figures has begun! The first scientifically accurate super articulated dinosaur figures ever produced. These things are so gorgeous, I really hope they're successful and we get an accurate quadrupedal Spinosaurus and feathered T-Rex.
Damn. Hope they make it over somehow.Both are up on P-Bandai (click the names), but I haven't found any middlemen offering them yet for US imports. BBTS hasn't listed either of them and the only ones I can find are preorders on eBay.

Jango Fett is up in NY and CDJapan now. The Lupins should be soon.
Bandai going way too heavy with the prequel figures. Why? They are clearly able to do Original Trilogy and Sequel Trilogy stuff, which are likely to sell better.
I just can't bring myself to buy Jango. I have the recent Black Series Jango and he's pretty good for only $20. This would be only a small step up. Plus, these Figuarts figures tend to be a little on the small side for 6" sale collectors like me. Bleh
I have Mace Windu coming later this year, and I will likely get their Grievous, after that I can't imagine any other Prequel stuff that I would want from them. They need to stop this, lol.

I love prequel stuff, I just hate the rate in which these things trickle out. We are still missing:
Grievous
Episode II Obi-Wan
Han
Chewbacca
C-3PO & R2-D2
It's looking like these figures will roll us all the way into 2017, with no TFA Heroes or OT figures like Leia, Boba, and others in sight.
Cool, positive FB is a good thing. At least that's resolved.

Skipping Jango since I don't collect Prequel Figures, Still hunting down Luke Episode IV, he should be available again close to release date.

Is there any making-of-videos of sixth scale figures out there? Would like to see the process.
I usually don't go for figures but I've been buying all the movie realization samurai figures. Couldn't resist this new one:

Hope they do an Iron Man and War Machine in the future.

her eyes look crazy in that pic
I really like the box art
Kind a shame that outfit is only shown at the end of AoU (unless she still has it for part of Civil War before going with the new outfit).
And that boxart is really nice indeed.

Such a disappointingly ugly figure. Might regret not buying but just can't pull the trigger if I can't stomach the way it looks.
Kinda tempted for HT Panther now... One HT is enough though.
OHOHOHO...
That's cute. But there's no quitting Hot Toys. Remember, you are here forever.

I still have yet to pull the trigger on an HT figure without sculpted hair. Scarlet Witch's outfits are so good though. Decisions.
It's the #1 seller on Amiami atm, so maybe they just increased supply to match past demand?
I'm passing, at least for right now. I'm personally suffering a bit of Star Wars fatigue at the moment. I do collect the prequel trilogy, but there are numerous figures I want over Jango.
Next in line is actually the already released Darth Maul. I want to pair him with my Obi-Wan, but I haven't been to stomach paying the $90 he seems to cost everywhere.

As someone who has been rocking the v1 Sideshow Boba on his shelf since release, it's so nice to finally upgrade to a nice 1/6 scale Boba. Pretty much a scaled down 1/4 figure with a different base, but I'm not complaining because it's stellar.
Good luck with that dude! It's quite addicting.
Hot Toys Stan Lee incoming, look at how awesome the boxart is!!! Released today.

Yeah I'm glad I pre-ordered him. Going to have lots of fun posing and shit. Great sculpt too.

Really amazing how fast they pumped out Kylo Ren in retrospect with all these other delays.

Kylo Ren is honestly one of the more simple figures, with a basic body and a pretty simple costume and no facial sculpt, just a helmet. Makes a lot of sense.

That's what I thought Phasma would be like but it keeps getting pushed back.

The chrome finish on Phasma is gonna give HT hell, and I'm super concerned how the end product is going to be, considering that other instances of HT chrome has had flaking and durability issues.
Yeah Phasma isn't easy. The chrome is gonna cause issues.

Got my Ant-Man. Among who I received this week and a half (Leia, Vision, Fett) Ant-Man is my favorite. Man, this might be one of my favorite Marvel Hot toys. I love the movie suit so much.
I think the biggest and best surprise for me is that the helmet is one functional (manually) piece. I thought he was coming with two head sculpts. Don't really follow blogs so this was probably revealed before
The tiny Ant-Man I believe is my smallest to date. After legends and selects

That detail is amazing on Ant-Man.
