I wanna collect some FF15 merch but these Play Arts Kai figures keep going up in price. $130 from BBTS for one figure is way too much for the inconsistency of their paint applications and quality control on these figures. Fffff
These things aren't worth the price of a low end discounted Hot Toys due to the quality.

Their size is way bigger now so that adds to the cost. I'm not getting any unless the characters in the game are interesting. I wish they made one for Noctis' dad.

Revoltech enters the fray!
Day one preorder for me I think. They also seem to be teasing Spider-Man and Venom:

Can someone explain to me F4F's flexiplay plan? Are there any caveats? Would I have to pay extra if I use it?
Edit: Just noticed that they only take $30 at first. I thought this was going to be like 3A where you pay upfront. Actually, I'm not sure if I did pay upfront with 3A. Only ever bought the Rex from them.
Edit: Shipping is going to be...fuck. Not sure I want Artorias that much.

everything explained in the payment options. It works a lot like Sideshow's Flexpay. In fact, they straight up ripped it off. I'm glad they added a 6 time payment option. They only had 3 before when they started it.
But yea, there's a NRD and the cancellations fees will go up the further in your payments go.

HT fucking butchered their Finn figure. Gonna see if they'll move the NRD to another figure since I've never asked them to before. If not I'll eat it and buy Episode VIII Finn.
Yea, I spread it as much as possible. Used to HT Flexpays being delayed with SS. I needs Artorias.
I canceled him a few weeks ago with BBTS. Just not loving the original reveal of the face sculpt. This cements my decision. Rey is good enough.
hell yes, let's all go broke together!
What the fuck happened? That is so bad. Makes me worried about Rey.

Finn looks fine to me. Gave him an angry face but still looks like the character.

I think it looks waaaaay worse than the prototype.

I don't. That's all the matters to me.

Heads up Pokémon fans, new Charizard Figuarts is up at Nippon-Yassan. Had no idea this was happening! Preordered instantly.
ArtFX Red is also available to preorder.

She looks way better here than in another pic from a few weeks ago. Pretty hyped.
Charizard Figuarts!? Whoa. I'm totally in.

It's just a rerelease of the D-Arts version under the Figuarts name with slightly different accessories. I am slightly annoyed because my trolling of Diggeh becomes a bit harder.

I'm too weak to resist.
I wish they didn't make the suit so metallic looking again but oh well. Very pleased they gave her the short hair cut. It's a shame they didn't include her harness and ponytail though.

Silly Haloid, you can't troll me! I hold all the cards!
And your Mythic Legions figures
I'm really happy Charizard is getting a rerelease. Now I just need to somehow get figma Pit and Dark Pit for not-$150+-each and the three huge gaps in my Smash figure collection will finally be filled.

Pretty much. Actually comes with more flame accessories. The first one was...one fire ball or something like that I think. Good for those that missed out the first release. I'm happy with the first release, but eh, it's Charizard, so I'm not gonna say no to it!

I'm caught up with the Pokemon D-Arts/SH Figuarts (and decided to get the GEM figures too, which are all so amazing!) but yes, both Pits really really need a reprint! GSC also needs to re-release Kill la Kill everything.

I'm baffled there hasn't been a Figuarts Greninja yet considering he's the most popular new Pokemon in a long time. C'mon Bandai, more for the Smash collection!

Good point. Already have stuff like Mewtwo, Lucario, Pikachu, and even Mega Blaziken. Greninja was only crowned the most popular Pokemon in Japan too. I still think it's a biased vote, because on the last day they held the voting was the day he fully transformed into the Ash Greninja, so the "cool" factor probably overwhelmed viewers and they voted

You could just buy from Nippon-Yasan or Big in Japan and get it a month sooner. :|

Canceled Finn. Headsculpt is really bad compared to the proto. Hyped for Phasma though!

Just received the latest addition to my ever-growing Predator Tribe. This is Snake Predator, aka Shadow Predator from the Lost Tribe that appears at the end of Predator 2.
Really cool Predator. The snake themed paint is gorgeous. I dig his short dreadlocks, which means he's a younger Predator. He has a really mean look. Very savage, which is what made me want him. The animal pelts on him really drive home the primitive feel of this character. I wish he had an extended Combistick, instead of the retracted one he comes with. I feel like it would really make for some vicious looking poses. As cool as the Lost Tribe Predators are, I think Shadow Predator will be the last one I get. The rest are largely going for insane prices in the after market. Now I'm just waiting for NECA to release their Ultimate City Hunter figure to complete my Predator 2 tribe.
