Those OG Turtles figures from Playmates were top quality.

I need Lyndis
Yeah, after "corn on the cob" (god, I hate Corrin's name) is released, I hope the other protagonists will get a shot.
I have all of them somewhere. Even Scratch.
Edit:
Time to find these things! Holy crap they go for a shit ton even out of the box.

Where are you getting her from?
Nice!
I have Ultimate City Hunter and Jungle Hunter ordered. I love NECA's predator and aliens figures, but they do way too many variants for my taste. Still, I'll happily get those two since they are the most iconic versions in my mind. They look fantastic.
Well, if I tell you, then you are probably going to snatch her up.
In all seriousness, I'll be getting her at Metrotown later today. Which is great, as I've been looking for this figurine for quite some time.
Good choice, Lucina's great.
Yeah, she will look awesome right next to ALBW Link and Other M Samus Aran.
Yeah, I want a figurine based off of her Prime design, but what can you do.

Had all those except the last 3. Still got a sealed Ray Fillet. Loved those figures.

Ack thought maybe it was somewhere online. Well congrats on the find, she's a real beauty. The last Figma I bought was Link from A Link Between Worlds, I need to step up my collection.

To this day I'm still sad I accidentally broke the legs off my Ray Fillet the day I got him. It pains me.
Also, I must have this BotW Link Nendo.

Diggeh I bought that Select Hulk and in the process of doing so I came across these two Hulks:
Bandai S.H.Figuarts Avengers Age of Ultron Hulk
Max Factory Figma Hulk (Avengers)
Looks like they are both Japanese imports and both fit in with the Marvel Legends scale. I've heard of Figma before, they make anime figures but I didn't know they did non-anime stuff.
Anyone have experience with both Figma and Figuarts? I am leaning towards the Figma since it looks more like the Hulk from the MCU movies but at $100 each I'd rather be safe and go for the more durable one since this will be a gift for a younger person.
Thanks.

Hard to find non-movie Avengers, especially Hulk and Iron Man.
But I grabbed Hawkeye for 10 bucks from a a Kmart closing sale yesterday! Had to grab the second one I found after nearly checking out and realizing the first didn't come with the bow (assholes)...
Almost bought these myself yesterday in Palatka, FL. They had like 50 of them. Maybe I'll see if they still have them Thursday.

Figma and Figuarts are both really awesome lines of 'adult' toys. I have figures from both but I tend to prefer Figma a bit more.
The Figma certainly has the better sculpt and paint.
I've liked both FIgma and Figuarts stuff (I have Figma Links/Samus and a lot of Figuarts and love them all). No complaints on either really.
Okay cool, thanks. I think I'll just get the Figma one then. Amazon has it for ~$105 which seems pricey but I suppose that's just how it is for import figures that appear to be more "premium" than say a Marvel Legends.
While looking at the amazon page for these I saw a Bruce Lee figure that I might end up getting for myself, lol.
You can even put the shield on the horse. That's cute as fuck.
YES, he turned out awesome from the looks of it. I probably just get the regular edition, even through the horse and hood looks nice.

Both lines are excellent. Figma are usually worse for the more realistic face (see Solid Snake). Hulk wise I prefer theirs over Figuarts. Both make quality stuff for the most part. Both Hulks also sold out so you're paying the higher price for buying late I believe, at least for the SHF.
Get the SHF Bruce Lee over Figma. Superior looking face (now that they've been experimenting with 3D scans). Game of Death Bruce Lee is also out/coming out from them too! Wish I could spare the cash for it, but nay.
Meanwhile, Figma Saitma has is out this month! Was hoping he'd be delayed a few weeks more, like Figmas are! Oh well!
That Nendo Link looks so good! Their Figma should be equally as cool.

Ouch yeah that had to hurt. Till this day I still hurt from selling all my collection at a garage sale,didn't hardly get shit for em either ugh.
Is that why I see that Black Panther and Black Widow are each like $100+? Pretty pricey for 6 inch figures. At least with hulk he's got the sheer size to justify the cost.
Yeah I saw the Figuarts Bruce first. I just looked at the Figma version and it looks anime-like but something went wrong along the way, because I saw Figma Leonidas from 300 on the same page and it looks much closer to what I imagine a stylized version of an actor would look. Figma Bruce just looks weird.

Give that Nendoroid BotW Link. I already have the other 2 and they look awesome.
As others have said, Figma and Figuarts are basically the best in their class. I pretty much only buy figures from those two lines, aside from the occasional Transformer or statue.
And yeah, as someone else said, you're paying a post-release premium at this point. Pre-ordering is the name of the game if you want decent prices. Lots of figures jump up in price pretty quickly.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The reason those ones are expensive AF is that they're web exclusives that can only be ordered from Japanese addresses.
Meh... The Hasbro version of AoU Hulk is way better than the Figuarts one.
Seriously, look at this shit.

I usually have rule about not pre-ordering things, but I just saw this:
Wow! I might just bend the rule just this once.
No no, lol. I saw Hulk(s), then Bruce, then Luke, then Doc Strange, and now I feel like I'm standing at the top of a slippery slope.
What? That's really lame and doesn't make sense for Black Panther, who made a huge splash in Civil War, and Black Widow, who is a core member of the Avengers. Demand from collectors outside Japan has got to be pretty high.
Major disappointment for long time Figuarts fans, I bet.

Yeah, Black Panther and Widow were Premium (online exclusive for Japan) so they were expensive as it is. They were available for much less as pre-order. Pretty sure being female and based on a person's likeness is either going to go 2 ways 1)Super cheap or 2)Expensive. Considering Star Wars Padme for these reasons (and Star Wars brand).

BotW Link Nendo pre-ordered. Ships in June.
Waiting for Medicom Link pre-ordes now.

No amount of enabling is gonna make pay that much for an accessory. I'll just look at it and hate myself.
This is the definition of an insta-buy for me. I just pre-ordered it.Also, I must have this BotW Link Nendo.

Didn't the final version of the Link they did before turn out to be a massive disappointment with a ragged looking tunic?
