ThreeZero.

Man, As cool as these look ThreeZero and ThreeA takes forever to release anything. Jon Snow took over a year, my Titan from Destiny is going or about a year since I pre ordered. Was supposed to be released in January. I ordered from Bungie directly and they charged ASAP. I think I might ask for a refund since I don't even have any hype left for that game anymore.

What's the release window for most the Civil War figures? I'd imagine that they are the best sellers for Hot Toys so they get fast tracked compared to Star Wars which keeps getting delays unless it's a trooper.

it's prob good to check bandai's page daily or if you're lazy like me to check some asian toys sites that have some people hawking the companies twitter and web page etc.
I usually see them while looking at Macross releases bc they pretty much release them at the same time.

i saw vegeta but didn't think there was much interest in him on here so i didn't post.

I finally got the Figuarts Luke Skywalker (Jedi) and am pleasantly surprised. First, very posable, moreso than the other two Figuarts I have (Phasma and Kylo) so really dig that and may have to end up getting the Vader with it. Secondly in person the sculpt looks far better than the pics - particularly the hair which has an almost metallic shininess to it that pics don't really capture.

Had sat on getting it for a while but saw it up on Amazon for $60 and went ahead and bought it. Really dig it. Also bought some museum putty so I can put these guys on a shelf. I wish they came with stands of some sort.

I usually check Nippon-Yassan daily but didn't check a second like usual. I noticed Nin-Nin had Vegeta up last week but was confused and thought it was the Premium version. Ah well. Secured one through Amiami even if don't prefer to use them. For others waiting, just check NY and CDJapan on release. They had Trunks again at release.

Wolverine Legends looks real good. But having never purchased a Legends, it's one train I don't want to get on!

oh, i was referring to asian toy forum sites or direct jyp SHF site for news as they announce ahead of time when they will drop.

i'm pretty sure myfigurecollection has a forum dedicated to SHF but i rarely go on there.

checking import stores daily can be painful.

Post all the figuarts, brother!

Whats the difference between that Vegeta and the recently released Premium color version? I could only glance real quick at work.

New Vegeta has the new body type as SSJ Trunks. Hip joints are different, now has torso movement. I have read the shoulders or arms are slightly tweaked as well. It looks kinda bulkier as well, but might just be me.

Got around to opening my SSJGSS Vegeta. It's...pretty basic, it looks nice. I prefer the OG Vegeta from a few years back (the armour is better in that) but they did a good job on this blue hair.

Looking forward to receiving CW Cap, but judging by early pics, I prefer the original release. Lots of cool SHF figs to look forward to for sure.

Marth Nendoroid.<3 Was so excited when GSC revealed his concept art last year in Feb, and now here he is. Honestly the elbow joints irks me a bit (he one of those super posable nendo. The knee joints doesn't seem bad at all through), but otherwise he turned out awesome.

So this just happened . . .

Really trying hard not to order anyone from Team Iron Man, really fiending for Iron Man & Black Widow . . . maybe Vision & Spidey based on sculpts . . . . But 2016 will be a good year for figures!

I believe the Vision from Ultron is the same one in civil war and we won't be getting another figure yet.

That will be a big relief.

Really curious whether there will be any other limited releases or costume variants this year. I'd love to have a Black Widow in the tan jacket from the beginning of the movie. I'm thinking of selling my MK IV for the XLVI.

You're welcome!

NECA posted this cool "behind the scenes" look at the Kenner Clan Leader Predator figure on their Twitter account earlier.

Cj4EdelW0AAw1yG.jpg:large


I think he's going to be my first purchase in their Kenner tribute line. Well, maybe him and Ghost if they hit at the same time. Unless I take the plunge on one of the older figures first. Man, I'm so weak.

This wave is going to be scalped into fucking oblivion. Hope I actually manage to find a Deadpool and Kitty.
Click to expand...

If they don't double-pack Deadpool then it's going to be a total shitshow. I'm probably going to preorder a case since I like the whole wave and the BAF.
EDIT: I forgot about the Havok figure. There's no slot to double-pack anything. Yeah, that wave is fucked.

Really looking forward to the Marvel Legends X-Men wave. Definitely picking up Wolverine and Phoenix. Love me some '80s Claremont X-Men.

Apparently there's gonna be a second X-Men wave later that'll include Colossus and Dazzler.

I'm swimming in damn Marvel Legends, they are coming out so fast.
I have the X-men Wave and new spider-man Wave preordered plus Captain Britain,Iron Skull, Crossbones(Rumored) and Civil War Scarlet Witch. It is a great time to be a Marvel Legends collector.

Hot Toys Iron Patriot is one of my favorite IM3 armors, just because of the color scheme.

Goddam that Kingarts sculpt is bad though.

So, let's say there was talk about some Dark Souls related/inspired figures in the works, on a limited scale release, and around 7"; very detailed and having articulation on par with let's say, Movie Realization/Super Imaginative Chogokin figures, would you all be interested? If so, what characters would you like to see in that line? There are a few characters already in the works in the forms of statues and stuff, so those would be avoided. Those characters are;

Ornstein
Artorias
Sif

Everyone else (including enemies and bosses) are being floated around.

I'll buy anything really but I'd really want an Elite Knight figure because that's my favourite armor in the game.

Wer're getting Artorias and Ornstein statues? Nice. I love the design of those two. Looks like Artorias will be huge, though. Gotta save up.

As for figures, I don't know right now, there's so many potential choices. Right now I'll just say the Havel set, Alva set, Fume Knight set, Fire Witch set, and Gundyr's set. The regular non-boss armor in general is not that amazing looking back.

The Elite Knight has definitely been floated around. :)

Havel is another that has been floated. as are some of the others you mentioned. Thank you for the feedback!

The team is looking to stick to DS1 and DS3, for the moment. But that is not to exclude other potential figures from previous Souls titles. The idea is posability, and the ability to swap weapons with ease through well designed hands. Maybe even stuff like weapon packs in the future, as well?

For sure depending on the price and the quality of the figures. Elite Knight for sure, some of the bosses, Drakeblood armor, etc.
