Action Figure GAF |OT| Articulated figures murdered my wallet

. Actually nowadays the Classic Punisher goes for higher than the Deluxe version.

I didn't realize deluxe came down to semi-reasonable levels. Unfortunately I missed both the classic and regular.

They only made 400 classics, which honestly annoys the shit out of me.

Yup in the same boat. It sucks and I'm not gonna drop $320+ on a Classic Punisher.

If you guys aren't picky and want to use the other heads included with the Mezco Punisher instead of putting them in a box or getting the Mezco Classic Punisher, I recommend picking up the most recent Marvel Legends Punisher, which is done in a Classic style (you can also grab a white thigh holster from ML Nick Fury). The Mezco head fits perfectly on the ML neck without modification.

That pillar with sparks on it is a cool accessory, what's it from?
 
I haven't been to Ebay in ages, but I took a chance with two HK sellers for Transformers Legends Tailgate and Seaspray. It will probably take ages, but I don't want to pay too much shipping for two such small figures.

I used to have a strictly G1 collection but after MTMTE I'm putting together a Lost Light crew. Swerve and Tailgate would never be on my radar without it, but I guess that's why they had recent figures. It's just annoying when they intersect with other lineups, like 85 carbots and Blaster's crew.

I know Smokescreen, Inferno, Skids, Hoist and Grapple (and at least Blaster, Perceptor, Cosmos and Powerglide) are on the Lost Light (although mostly in the background so far for me), but can anyone tell me (without spoilers) if Tracks is also there?

The pillar comes from a Kotobukiya Batman Arkham Knight ArtFX statue. It's cool because they give you a bunch of parts to build a small diorama base any way you want. There's one with Batman, and one with the Arkham Knight. You can find them for pretty cheap nowadays. Around ~$30.


As for the sparks, I'm not sure. I bought a bunch of random effects parts from an ebay auction and these were some of the parts. I think they come from a Revoltech or a Figma.

That's pretty cool. Will pick up once I recover from Mezcopalypse.

BBTS down for a site update. Preview pic looks substantially different from their current site. Here's hoping it's an overall improvement.

BBTS looks pretty spiffy now! The flat $4 shipping is nice too. Right in time for my MMC Knight Morpher Annihilator
but too late for Space Ghost
!

$100 is normal. Leonardo is this month.

Seems glitchy, though. I can't cancel orders. I go to submit a cancellation and I get an error saying "Something went wrong during order submission - A shipping method must be selected when pre-order items are not sent to the Pile of Loot."

Everything happens in comics always. For all we know, some random universe has a caveman Venom in prehistoric times that fights dinosaurs.
 
Had to share this because it's just so fucking bizarre. But apparently back in 2007, Medicom released this as part of their Real Action Heroes line. Venom as the Punisher.

That was a weird What If comic. They did the same thing with Deadpool in a What If comic too. It’s actually kinda rare and I own it.

yeah i like Entertainment earth, seems like a underrated site.

They're pretty well known and I used them before but they sell everything at MSRP. Only worth buying from if the usual suspects are sold out.

What is you guy conscious of the RAH line ?
It seems there Kamen rider figure always around 200-300$

Depends on the line. The Rider ones are def some of their best. I have some of them. Their MGS figures were also amazing. I feel like they overcharge everything considering what you get. I used to buy their stuff a lot when Hot Toys didn't exist. If you want anime/video games 1/6 figures now, they're your best bet.

New BBTS coming? Was never a fan of the current site design so hope the new one is more functional. It's so cluttered right now.

Akon didnt go exactly as planned but im pretty happy with how it turned out. I got two fujiko mine figures including the figuarts release. I picked up the bishoujo Spider-Woman and the new movie motoko kusanagi figma for much less than ive been seeing online too.

How much did you get the Bishoujo Spider-Woman for? I've just started collecting them last week, went on a tear, and have bought about 11 of them. I ended up picking up Spider-Woman for $85.

I got her for like $80. The only other one i have is mystique despite a ton of my favorite characters making it into the line.
