Just the EX version, which was limited to 750 units. The regular is still available. The EX included an exclusive grinning portrait (which is what they call alternate heads), though.
Is there any way to get it at it's original price now, though?
Kinda interested, I won't lie.

Yeah, I liked that one. They really put in some effort.

guys, i hate to break this to you, but that's not a real april fool's sale. it's fake.
the giveaway is the shipping. i tried pre-ordering a cat but shipping is ridiculous. so it's probably a joke. maybe a special holiday in japan?

Danny Choo reveals the 1/2 scale Mirai Mannequin Machine...on April 1st.
I've been having a rather crap week so I was especially happy to receive my Mezco Daredevil yesterday and even happier that he turned out so well. I love this thing! Really lifted my spirits. I just really dig how stacked this figure was. The prices are steep but Mezco really loaded this guy up with goodies. I was particularly impressed by the battle damaged sculpt. Really knocked my socks off. I'm having too much fun with him I had to share:
From what I've gathered, Bandai Tamashii (or Tamashii Nations) is more like a brand umbrella that houses various lines such as SH Figuarts, MonsterArts, D-Arts and the like. Damashii is for mechas, I think, but I don't have much experience there.
Mafex will reportedly start using face printing tech like SHF so there's a chance that their Tom Holland Petey head will look close to the promo pictures, but who knows.
Honestly I prefer the look of the mafex spidey to the SHF one.

I was looking pictures for SHF Ryu and found these 2 set of pictures, are these supposed to be the same figure just in different angle and lighting?

Yeah they're low on stock.
Looks the same. The angry open mouth face still looks derpy so I'm gonna say they didn't make any changes.

Quick question for anyone that knows Power Rangers merchandise.
What are the biggest scale Dragon, Tiger and Falcon Zords out there,
and what line is the best quality versions of those?
Other than Figuarts Green Ranger and the movie Pterodactyl I haven't bought a single thing since I was 6 when MMPR ended so im completely out of the loop.

Where did you get your Green Ranger from? I'm looking around and i see it for over $100

I had it preordered back when it released, only reason I noticed and immediately bought it was because I was already buying

Yeah the after market on the MMPR Figuarts is insane. Glad I bought all of them when they were out. One of my favorite displays.
Amazing.

Nice collection^ I have the bandai GX megazord pre order. After seeing how amazing Voltron turned out.
Funny, I remember when Amazon had a bunch of sales for them. I should've just bought the full team. I only bought Green Ranger.
Right now the best versions are the Legacy versions of those figures, which are pretty close to the size of the originals. The Tigerzord is now out of stock and overpriced but you can get the other two close to MSRP.

New DC Multiverse Wonder Woman 6-inch and 12-inch figures. These look much better than the Batman v Superman versions.

Also, here's Damian Wayne.
Welp. I'm gonna take the plunge. It'll be a slow process for me but I'm getting the MMPR figuarts.
Some are a bit on the affordable side. The ones I'll most likely get last are the White, Green Blue and Pink rangers.
Going for the Yellow, Armored Red, and Armored black to start off with. Got the Soul of Chogokin Megazord on preorder and then I'll get the Thunderzord at some point.

Just wondering, where do people preorder like these? Directly from manufacturer?
I'm from Indonesia and I know a couple store that accept preorder for toys and figures, but I wonder if they actually get better price somewhere so they can some profit selling preorder.
I'm interested in trying to open a store selling toys and figure and curious how it work.
That depends on what sort of contract you get with the manufacturer/distributor and the regulations of your country, etc.

Holy crap that was the fastest pre-order i've seen go on HLJ. literally 30 seconds. i guess now that users got their hands on the initial VF-31J, people found out it's a solid figure and the demand is there.
EDIT:
S.H.Figuarts Spider-Man Home Coming at hlj
from places like amiami, hlj, hobbysearch, they're all import stores.

It's sad. I wish i was collecting these when they first came out. I only have Red and Black with Dragonshield. Doubt i will ever get the rest.
Btw do you guys have tips on cleaning figures?

Yoda has released, finally!
He wants to open an import store, not ask for examples =p
I doubt Hobby Search sell in bulk.

Man back when I was buying the Akibarangers I remember Gokai Yellow 2nd hand going for like $120.

I still gotta grab the Gokai ladies to complete that display. I actually think the Gokaiger Figuarts are the best Sentai figures that Figuarts have done. All because of their shoulders.

Hot Toys Han Solo in Stormtrooper disguise: http://news.toyark.com/2017/04/03/star-wars-han-solo-stormtrooper-disguise-hot-toys-248066
Color me surprised. Other than AmiAmi I didn't expect many online retailers to sell in bulk. How can they cover for stores when they can barely handle individual​ consumers 😂
Just don't wait on it for too long. They can sell out in any moment and good luck when they do. I've been waiting over a year for the upcoming Dragonzord reissue.
Oh shit. The got rid of the sculpted hair.
I may have to get this now, that was one aesthetic on the early photos that I really didn't like.
Also both love and don't love the new Stormtrooper Han. I actually think the likeness is better than the regular Han but the expression is a bit much.

I know! It was a pleasant surprise when I saw the pics this morning. I think HT did a good job considering it cost $200. Two head sculpts with real hair, diorama base, bunch of accessories, some with light up features.
Don't worry fam I'm taking the plunge too on this Power Raner stuff. This is my next "project".
Already got an idea on what figures and Zords I want. It's just going to take a lot of time and money lol.
