Is that Female Guyver in the newer series? I'm a fan but only of the original cartoon series. If Guyver III is next then I'll be well happy with that. But I'd love Guyver II to complete the set.

She's from the manga and the purple Goodsmile exclusive version is from the 1986 OVA Out of Control. I think I'm going to to go for the purple one because she looks better in that colour.

Rey/BB8 have been released. I think it looks fantastic. Can't wait. No pics, I'm on mobile but plenty at Sideshowfreaks or Plastic Enimies.
Really? Thought it was September.

September for everyone except HK at the earliest, because she was released in HK today.
I really couldn't decide so I ordered both.

She looks great alone but next to any other figure, she looks tiny.
Accurate! Does Leia also look small compared to others? Curious
Is she really that small in the film? It's not a detail I noticed the two times I watched it. Another excuse to watch it again
Movies do a good job at confusing you regarding how tall the actors actually are, lol.
Also, just got my stuff, yay!
And man, I have just got to give credit to Mecha Workshop for the amazing job they did on the Bellerophon's packaging. I didn't even mess with the figure much and I feel I got money's worth. A giant bookcover-like box that holds wo boxes inside with highly detailed art on them. And if you put them side by side they show a great piece of art. Really excited to see whatever else they bring.
Gonna post pics of the two later.

Are these two from the same line? Boyega's taller but there's not that much of a difference. Rey got the short straw.Not my pic, stole it from the Sideshow forums:
Rey looks tiny. Face sculpt looking good though.

Hot Toys fucked up is what it boils down to. The likeness is great and I can always fake height differences in displays, but it is disappointing.
Anyway, I should get my case of the new X-Men Legends wave tomorrow. Super pumped! Best wave for a Hasbro line maybe ever.

I haven't really seen much interest in this line here (or much of anything besides imports), but these should be hitting stores soon.
Also, here's a helpful page for anyone interested in the Suicide Squad figures from this line: http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/...s-suicidesquad-multiverse-action-figure-line/
Edit: It looks like they're popping up already: https://www.instagram.com/p/BHuhwjMgIFN/

The thing is, Adam Driver is 7" taller than her IRL, so displaying her next to Kylo might actually work. Maybe that was what HT was going for I dunno, I can't fathom that they scaled her like that by accident.
And seeing more pics on SSF, Finn is too tall, she scales well with the rest of the Star Wars figures so far it looks like to me.

Budget Starks review.
Toa Tak I think may have been right. Finn might be too tall but I did prove he scales with Phasma so who knows.

Hot Toys done fucked up. That height difference is hilarious.

They fucked up Finn more than Rey, since she seems to scale well with the other figures.
Whoa, is that Char mobile suit a figure? Or like a model building thing?
I love Gundam anime, but I'm so ignorant on the figures. I know about Gunpla obviously, but I would love just like high quality Gundam figs. No assembly required lol.
Some of these new ones have caught my interest more than the earlier releases. Namely Zero Year Batman, TDKR Batman, Earth 2 Superman.
Kinda digging a couple of these too.
Hi.
I don't usually buy many Marvel Legends, just the occasional figure. That said, I simply cannot resist the two new Ultimate Spider-Man figures coming up in the Space Venom BAF wave.
They have finally appeared on Amazon, but overpriced. Can I expect them to cool down to a regular price as more vendors get their stock, or is this line just going to be too hot and I should just get them now when they're there?

Wow, that's a pretty major oversight. Why'd they make Finn so damn tall?
I think when they start popping up in more retailers then they'll lower to something resembling the regular price.

They're on third party sellers, not direct from Amazon. When Amazon gets the wave they'll be retail price.
Robert Downey ain't as tall IRL either but....

Any chance Sideshow will have Rey sooner than September now that it's actually out?

Phasma was May and still hasn't made it into our hands, I think September is still quite the generous time frame.
Oh, hot damn. That's awesome. Is there any word if they plan to do any Jaegers?
All they've announced so far are Leatherback and Knifehead. Unfortunately X-Plus as a company is generally secretive about their future plans, so we'll just have to wait and see what they have planned for PacRim. Leatherback isn't necessarily my favorite kaiju from that film, but I'm buying him any way to support the line.
Oh shit, Sherlock Hound is here lol.
Sheesh what a big box for this line, but of course it is with that car.XD I going to leave the car alone for now lol till I wrap up working on my desk where I going to put him with it, along with a couple other figures.
Anyway still checked out Sherlock himself, and man that feeling I was having when holding him for the first time after a year and a half wait.

Yep. A shame it's plain plastic, though. Paint would have elevated it so much.
Those two are models. Good thing there are pre-built action figures available in the Robot Spirits series. There's a huge variety of mobile suits to choose from.
If you want something more high-end there's the metal build line and Metal Composite lines.
Ask and you shall receive!
I had a lot of fun with the Bellerophon. This is one of the most amazing figures I've ever had the pleasure of handling. You can really tell the team put their heart and soul into this. They even included a little comic issue and a CD with cool stuff like concept art and even a soundtrack!
I like the pilot figure. For something so small it's very detailed and articulate. You can even put him inside the cockpit! I like that there's a compartment inside for his gun packpack.
The mecha is even more articulate, insanely so. It has good balance and is rich in die-cast, paint,and detail. There are ports all over the body so you can customize where its accessories sit. They said that if this is successful they'll release more parts so I hope this does well.
If you haveany interest in mecha I can't recommend this enough. I'm talking to you, David!
Yeah, it looks like Finn is actually the one that is way too tall.
Holy fuck, those look bad ass.

Oh my gosh, that figure is indeed a labor of love, congratz, I wish Bandai would make something similar regarding Mazinger and Great Mazinger, I'd love to have a Koji Kabuto and a Tetsuya that go into their Cockpits/Pilders and then on the robot.
Thanks! And to be fair the Bellerophon is much smaller than Mazinger. I doubt it even reaches the knee, lol.
And don't most Mazinger & Co figures include a dock-able Pilder?
I don't trust these things. How do they compare in price to a non-random figure of similar style and quality?
And it seems so fitting that Alfred Hitchcock himself is a horror icon.
Alot of the high price Maz/Great Mazinger do indeed.
Fewture and Doc have combining Pliders.

1/6 scale Shredder and Casey Jones just went up on BBTS. Anyone know anything about DreamEX? These figures look pretty good.
read Krang is also coming too.
