Man, I thought that MAFEX had oversized boxes.
The size of a Mezco One:12 box compared to the figure is fucking shocking in hand.

The Legacy rereleases seem to stick around for a while but the Dragon Dagger preorders sold out so I don't have a fucking clue.

I've been waiting over two years for this reissue.

I'm pretty sure the DragonZord is popular so better safe than sorry. I would prefer the Tigerzord first but that one looks to have shot up on the secondary market.

I've never seen one of those. Wow if true.

Yeah they're gigantic, but you're right too the Mezco boxes seem larger than they need to be. A lot of wasted space.

I also think they're kinda bland in design, but that's just me.

Well the 25th anniversary is happening next year I believe. I would hope they re-release the Legacy Megazord, Tigerzord, etc.

Dragonzords for everyone!

Don't let 'em get you down on that statue Messi you buy every cool Ivy and Harley you want

Ordering this Mezco figure and BS Leia at the same time was maybe not the best idea.
The near-supernatural level of craftsmanship in the Mezco soft goods is making Hasbro's effort bum me out.
On the plus side the redone Leia head is surprisingly decent.

Zero idea where the Dragonzord is going to go. My lone 'figure shelf' with the Megazord has no space for that big ass tail.
 
Does anyone have the Wind Waker Zelda Nendoroid?

I want her, she's absolutely adorable and there's two in stock somehow in the UK imported from Japan at a reseller.

Any thoughts?
Getting her in a good pose with the bow and arrow was a bit of a pain, but otherwise a nice figure. If you like Nendos then you can't go wrong with her.

FIGMA PIT

F I G M A P I T


I FINALLY got him! Found a good deal on a preowned one. It even has the special AR cards! Freaking amazing figure. With Figuarts Charizard, I only now need Dark Pit to complete my Missing Smash Trio! Slowly but surely, dreams do come true!

Mmmmmm.

She's good and she comes with the Master Sword and Shield for Link.
 
According to the tracking, my Soundwave was shipped on 05/01, arrived in the US on 05/02, went through customs on 05/03, and has been sitting in "Retention" since 05/04. I guess I don't really mind because I wouldn't have had time to play with it in the last few days anyway but seems odd for it to just sit somewhere for 6 days.

What is this?

TAJ isn't the only one who picked up NECA's Ultimate Jungle Hunter Predator!

Holy shit! I love this guy. So glad I never forked out the premium to get the older version. NECA did an amazing job capturing ol' Anytime. The articulation is exactly what NECA has been delivering with their recent Predators, which is to say it's awesome. I just wish we had gotten a pissed off unmasked head as well! Just an outstanding figure that truly deserves being called an Ultimate.

She's cute as fuck.

My only real complaints are how she can't really look in the direction she's aiming the arrow, and her hip joint is a bit too weak to support her bulky head. Neither is really a big issue though, especially if you use the stand.
 
Posted this elsewhere and figured I would here in case anyone wanted to give it a try. I just put some putty under chewbacca's heel and gave him a little bump. Can paint it black or whatever and it's not really noticeable(who really looks at feet haha). Left before; right after. A minor change, but it works for me

Oh god, I found a new collectable/figure money pit worse than Hot Toys...
Actual props and reproductions.

Help me.

Get into making them yourself. Reverse money pit.
I'm building a spray booth this month. Waiting on a part right now.

Yeah, that was part of it.
Been watching all these Tested videos(Adam Savage, etc) the last few days and im actually thinking of getting myself into this stuff.

I love my figures but man having a full suit in a glass case is really the next level.
The video about the For Honor E3 armor and that sci-fi game were the final straw.

Got tired of waiting for Mezco to make a comic Thor figure so I just decided to hunt for the best one in 1/12 scale I could find, and that seems to be the Marvel Select Mighty Thor, which has shot up to around $100 bucks secondary since it came out a couple years ago. I managed to win one on ebay for $50 new and was very happy about that.

And...he's awesome! Best thing about him is the spinning Mjolnir accessory he comes with, which was pretty much the #1 reason I decided on the figure.
He fits in pretty well with my Mezco stuff. He's teeny bit out of scale since he's a Marvel Select and Mezco's are Legends scale, but keep him slightly lowered and in the back and it works together pretty well.
