sounds good, thanks! Pre-ordered and if anything comes up that's more Canada friendly I guess I'll just cancel.

Fucking hell Mezco Punisher is the best figure Ive bought all year. Too good.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
They'd better do another variant and make more than 20 of them.
They made three Spocks so far and noone even buys that line.

Are those the 1/12 scale figures? Aren't they tiny?

Man, if they made Star Wars figures, I could switch to one:12. They make such great stuff. PM me the payment info if you could.

Theyre fucking amazing because I actually like posing them unlike HT figures. Seriously I spent like an hour and a half just posing with accessories way too fun. Totally not doing this drunk either.
You got a kid on the way consider it a baby shower present or whatever. Enjoy!

But how tall are they? Are they the same size as like, Figuarts and figma and all that?

Price wise? Definitely not as the shipping plus customs will sting. Any local comic shops in your area that sell Hot Toys or Sideshow product? They might be able to give you a better price.

Slightly taller but similar scale. Ill post pics tomorrow when my brain works. Seriously though I love the thing. Havent had this much fun with a figure since the Mezco TDKR Batman.
I'm too poor for the Hot Toys version of Spiderman: Homecoming so have to settle for the Nendo instead.
DAMNNIT!

Freeza did you see the Joker I posted last week? That's he Mezco one:12 line. They come with fantastic packaging, a 1/12 figure with quality articulation, nicely tailored cloths/armor, and usually lots of accessories and hands and multiple head sculpts. I would say they are the equivalent of Hot Toys in the 1/12 scale. I will also backup what Haloid said and say they are actually fun to play with. Like I said, if they made Star Wars figures and I owned as many as I do of my Hot Toys plus I guess double because one:12 is less than half a HT I would have close to 40 figures and I would be in heaven playing with them.

That's cool, it's just that $80-$100 for a 1/12 is kind of mind-boggling to me.

Wasn't that version like $200?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
All of mine were $45-63 (from Forbidden Planet NYC and Entertainment Earth) but the Star Trek line must not be selling.
Their normal range is $70-80 with two (?) at $90 and then that superdeluxe Punisher. One of the other $90 figs was also Punisher.
I feel like they're worth more than the usual Japanese import suspects, especially if you're one of those people who can't do without reasonably fast shipping.
Yes it's so amazing. I've bought like 4 more one:12 figures after it but Punisher is still my favorite of the bunch.
I only wish I got in on that deluxe version, but oh well.

Tracer pre-ordered...this is gonna be very bad for the wallet. Want Hanzo, Genji, Phara, D.Va and Mercy... but by all means take your time to allow the wallet to refresh!
Hot Toys Spidey and the Nendo look really good. I usually don't care for the HT movie stuff, but Spidey is oh so tempting.

How much did you just commit to spend on a random He-Man statue that doesn't even move?

Just preordered my first Hot Toy, Spider-Man Homecoming Deluxe version, from sideshowtoy.
Holy crap that estimated arrival time. Waiting is going to be the hardest part...

Preordered Tracer fig. Finally have a real official OW action figure.
Don't be surprised if it gets delayed either.

Everybody complaining about that Spidey wait time and I'm just sitting here waiting for Hulkbuster.

I agree, it sure as hell didn't had anything to do with some character, there wasn't much to begin with but she was pretty much the Darth Maul of the EU (I would say he was even more plain). Regarding the comic, I personally think it's better then everything we got so far since 2013 and most of the stuff before wasn't that good either. But even as a Star Wars Fan I would say the brand barely has any authors or stories woth mentioning of, no matter the media.
She doesn't look shabby (in her prototype) but I am still a bit hesistant. I like Tracer, even though she's not my main (it's Mercy) and I am not so sure if the final product will look as good. I am trusting Nendos more then the Figmas. I also think MF/GSC could be less parsimonious (yes I got this word from a translator). Three faces, her guns and the bomb aren't that much of accessories. I wish they would put shooting effects in the box if a figure has guns, it adds a layer of dynamic.
That is what they wanted to do, I don't think its confirmed whether or not they succeeded.
Spider Man is up for PO, got the Deluxe - I just wish they would time these releases so they'd happen around the movies, not a year or years after.

My Mezco One:12 Flash is ordered and on its way. Black Adam, Doctor Strange, and Red Son Superman on preorder.
The most pointless bit of extra engineering ever. It already comes with the Iron Man torso and head that sticks out of Hulkbuster. You never see more than that in the movie.

Look at this shit.
That one was $130 though, not $80.
Now it's about $400 after market :-/
Edit: if there's a lot of interest in Mezco figures I have most of them, and can (eventually) post pictures. Unfortunately, most of my figures are boxed up at the moment. I've been working on organizing my office but my wife has other more pressing projects, so I keep putting it off

Not $400 more around $250 thats what theyve been selling for and how much I paid for mine.
Yeah. Actually nowadays the Classic Punisher goes for higher than the Deluxe version.

Thanks a million to FigureGAFs finest Haloid for picking me up the Star Wars Celebration Exclusive Luke Skywalker figure. Now I'm Mr Anti-box and planned to display it with the rest of my Black Series figures but once I saw the super nice packaging with reflective material and cool art on the back, I decided to hang him up for now. I have the regular Luke in packaging hanging up in my sons room so it seemed neat to have our own. Really proud to have it and once again I can't thank you enough.
My Mezco One:12 Joker arrives Tues. The stand really helps sell it, looks fantastic as a complete package.
He'll be joining my other Mezco One:12, which currently consist of:
Modern Cap
BvS Batman
BvS Armored Batman
BvS Superman
Green Arrow
Shazam
Daredevil
I passed on Flash which I'm not yet regretting... but I might have to pick him up so I can continue building a Justice League.
I have a ton on pre-order too. DC Universe Superman should be next to charge. Pretty excited for him, some neat accessories.

TBH I'm gutted I missed that Green Arrow. Don't want to pay that aftermarket.
TBH, I think it's the worst one. The costume looks great. It his ankles are criminally bad at that price point.
FYI, you can probably still order arsenal which is very similar, but red. I'm planning on passing that one up but... it's an option.
