That Lawmaster is Awesome!
Yea Batman and Harley were the two I was looking at. Reviews seem to be all over the place and I am a bit conflicted about the scale and funky articulation choices. I think I could fudge Harley with my DCUC figures but I know Batman would be the odd man out. He does look kinda cool though.
Yeah, it's pretty sweet. Also since the DX version is very limited AND being told a copy would be held for me..

The AVP warrior Xeno is a great figure. Really detailed and so much articulation. Just like Scar, he feels sturdier and more substantial than the older NECA figures. He was my first Xeno, so I couldn't really appreciate just how well constructed the figure was until I started getting some more examples of the older body style.
I don't collect the DC Icons line. I'd like to get into them but suspect I have pretty much the same reservations you do. I really don't like the scale. I understand they're meant to be "true six inch scale", but it makes them so small. This isn't helped by the sculpts, which are way too thin and their torsos look too long. Finally their articulation is really lacking. It doesn't come close to the Marvel Legends. Which is a shame. I love the look of their Dead Man figure and that Demon figure coming out next year looks great.
Wolverine is such a great figure. They absolutely nailed his sculpt and his scale. Those butterfly joints give him so many posing options. Every couple of days, I find myself changing his pose. So happy I waited for this guy instead of buying an older figure.

Don't usually go with a side profile for a figure but it really suits Phasma so well.

Those golden girls are amazing....and scary hahaha
Picked up another hobgoblin to black out his face like he's sometimes shown. Was worried it might look a bit like black face >_<, but doesn't look too bad. If you can't tell, hobgoblin is my favorite character haha

Is your Phasma bow-legged? Can't tell from the side profile but just wondering if yours have that issue, since mine does.

Good, good. It'll look great next to Skyward Sword Link and Twilight Princess Link and probably Breath of the Wild Link
TP Link looks absolutely fantastic, one can only imagine how good BotW Link would look.

I paid about $20 more for the DX version, and I thought it was worth it, because I really like accessories. £20 might be pushing it though, I dunno.
I'd probably pay $100 for an Ocarina of Time Link figma if it came with with every piece of equipment in the game.
For the first time since I moved from California to New Hampshire (in late April), I've got some new figures on the way! I've ordered the Figuarts Ultraman 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition and the Monsterarts Godzilla GMK (2001)! So so so excited for both!
I think I'll just get the standard version. I wasn't really too hung up on the accessories and saving £20 would be pretty nice.

This looks so good. Tempted to pick this up rather than wait for an ESB version.Feburary 2017

Finally. Been waiting on this one forever ever since I saw a slight side-shot in a photo a year ago on a prototype. Even then I thought the facesculpt looked incredible. Does not dissapoint.

Oh no, they didn't fix the one issue I had with the prototype, his long elbows.
Any comparison photos with the original?

Just done and ordered the standard Link ALBW Figma.
I'm sure I won't miss the accessories and Lucina should be here soon to fill any regret
I'm thinking of just the standard also, I'm likely not going to pose him outside of the sword and shield anyways, but the DX version isn't that much more off of BBTS...
Decisions.
If it's like a £5-£10 difference, you may as well get the DX version. I only bought the standard version since the accessories would of been £20 for me. I didn't feel it justified that price.
There's also the fact that I remember paying $50+ for the Skyward Sword Figma and you can now find that for 20 bucks new off of ebay or $30 at a Gamestop. So I'm a little hesitant on that angle also.
If the Play Asia coupon I have works, I'll get the standard there for about $40. If not, I might as well get the DX version off of BBTS for only 10 more or so.

I did post it somewhere in this thread when it was unveiled.

Diecast figures are the most expensive hot toy figures they release in 1/6. I paid 160 bucks for War Machine when it was first released. This one is 360 bucks!
Oh my gosh. I need this.
I have a black law master in a pile of loot. Think it would still go ok witg the Cursed Earth bright blue Dredd? I wanted the poncho

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Just opened up my Figuarts Ultraman 50th Anniversary Edition!
The accessories are super awesome! Quick and dirty pose and photo showing off the figure and the accessories. Everything shown came with the figure (though there are quite a few accessories that came with the figure that aren't in the photo as well).
Especially love the new Figuarts buildings and that road piece! The road piece is just a flat plastic deal that connects straight to the baseplate thing, so you can turn any baseplate into a city road basically. Absolutely love it.

Yeah but that's the prototype, I was hoping one of the Asian bloggers would have done a comparison in the new photos that just went up.I did post it somewhere in this thread when it was unveiled.

But that image illustrates my problem, look at the elbows on the 2.0. When that photo was released I was hoping that the elbows had a retracting system that wasn't being used like some of the Iron Man figures do to allow correct proportions vs enhanced articulation. After seeing the blogger pics, my hopes were dashed. You might even notice that there are very few photos of "museum poses" and the ones that are show the elbows bent almost as if to hide the long elbows, like so:
Compared to how the suit appears in the movie:
Maybe I'm weird for being fixated on such a minor detail, but my eyes are drawn to it and it makes the arms look weird to me.

I totally want one of those
Harley is listed as January there I thought she wasn't released until September next year. Why the huge delay between Japan and USA for her.

I'm thinking of getting the Jango Fett figuarts since he's one of my favorite characters but I'm still undecided. I like all my SHF that I've bought but I don't own any Star Wars ones. I've been recommended the Black series Jango but I'm not a fan of Boba or Chewbacca which are the two I own and the pictures don't convince me, I prefer the "clean" look on Jango which he has most of the time and the "dirty" one on Boba. I have a Mafex vader which I love but I don't think they'll get to Jango.
TAJ
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
You should sell your Boba, especially considering that there are Mafex ones coming.
