Hot Toys Phasma is too short by kind of a lot. Either that or Finn is too tall.

Right up to her nose, kinda on the money.

A painting.
Anyway she's seven inches taller and the armor has heels and extra room in the helmet that add three inches.

Finn looks bad. His dead expression is what kills it for me. Something about it just doesn't capture the actor's face that well.

Did you really expect them to design a new mold for her and not recycle the regular Stormtrooper?

Might as well. Parts of the armor are very different anyway, especially the helmet and around the crotch.
I understand the thinking behind the how-big-it-seems approach but I'm not a fan.

I see where you guys are coming from but I doubt most companies consider that important enough to begin anew. No matter how high-end they are companies won't miss a chance to save a few bucks. As we've seem with Hasbro it seems retooling a kit is easier than before (some very extensively) so this seems like a practice that's here to stay.

Oh, and we're nearing the end of the HLJ.com sale so now's your chance to make sure you got everything you want.

I'm working out in the boonies and stopped at a Walgreens during a break. They still had BS Leia in Boussh disguise somehow. Score.

Why is it so hard to find a Darkseid action figure and why are the ones that exist so damn expensive?

Right!? There's never been a decent classic Darkseid figure. There's that one classic Darkseid that was in the same line as an Orion and other New Gods, but even that one was just a cheap $15-20 figure; it looked nice for what it was, but it definitely wasn't a high-end figure. And even with that, it's super expensive now because it's pretty much the only one that exists. And then of course you've got the awful figures of Darkseid's New 52 design...

I would absolutely love it if DC Icons did a classic Darkseid. Or better yet, a classic Darkseid Figuarts. That would be fantastic. Now that I'm thinking about it, I would give anything for a Figuarts classic Darkseid and classic Orion, or some other foil for Darkseid to pose alongside him.

Any news of any new non Toynami Voltron figures? I coulda swore Mad Toys were in talks with WEP so they can prevent another Miracle Productions debacle.

Don't think I heard anything. It's crazy the licensing difficulties surrounding Voltron and other mecha shows. The Toynami version looks nice but it's too big for me and not worth the asking price.

Payment for Sherlock Hound Figma has come, and sheesh still $85 even with the preorder discount and SAL registered (which I was a bit worry there that the car would put it up to EMS shipping lol, but it seems the package weight isn't that close to that point).

At least it's easier to estimate the actual cost since it's basically on the dollar now!

The likeness on Ford here is blowing my mind. Crazy how spot on it is. Shame they couldn't do the same on the ANH version.

Terrific head sculpt. Like, really fucking eerie. lol

$520 though?! Fuuuuuck that. I'll just get Han. EDIT: Scratch that. $250 for Han?! Fuck that too. lol

Kinda crazy though that Chewie is spiking up the price and I got both BvS Batman and Superman, Special Editions, for nearly $100 less off of Sideshow's website. lol

So at least one figure sitting on my Amazon wishlist has "frustration-free packaging". That's the first time I've seen that for a boxed, collectible item. I've only bought once with this label, and I think it was an SD card or something small like that, and came in just a small plastic packet.

Anyone order a figure off Amazon with this packaging to know what it's like for that kind of item?

So excited to get these 2. Both look great.

Very cool display.

Is that a Detolf with IKEA's LED dioders? I need some lighting for my Detolf, are the dioders worth it or does anybody else have other suggestions? I'm liking the lighting look in those photos though!
