First glimpse of the painted Mercy Nendoroid
I audibly gasped.

I legit think Messi buys more shit than I do and that's saying something.
What if Haloid finally gets the Hulkbuster and he goes to take it out of the shipper and it falls on him crushing him. He would just disappear and we would never hear from him again and I would be free to buy all the Harley figures hassle free. Not wishing for it to happen but it's a legitimate concern.

Messi's not a quitter.

He is not. But he is also going to be living in a house made of figure boxes if he keeps it up.

I bet that Hulkbuster box will be quite spacious.
That's the damn truth.

That would mean I could actively haunt you Messi. I'm game if you are.
Is homeless a form of quitting? Cause he's gonna get there.
It's gonna be shipped in a wooden crate with white glove service.

I don't see the Hunter Figma selling out. Seems like GSC makes enough of them these days. Hopefully no GSC store exclusive.
Also, Ken action figure is accurate. He's just as ugly as the game counterpart.
God I hate his dumb face
Watching so many Kens in S1 was awful because he legit does not have a costume where he doesn't look like garbage. This figure even has the golden flower yellow pasta hair
I'm taking this to the bitter end

Does anyone know when they are going to release a Breath of the Wild World of Nintendo toy? I am going to try to pick one up for my little boy when it releases. The Skyward Sword figure is going for like 30 bucks on Amazon
ToyWiz says it was supposed to be out last month, but it hasn't popped up anywhere yet. But it was announced and shown off, so it should be out soon...I hope.

Looks a bit derpy. Look forward to Figma announcing a BOTW Link at some point. Speaking of Figma, Guyver 3 is out this month!

His costume is great. His face and the hair texture/graphics (I don't mind the style itself) far from it, though. Speaking of the game specifically. Don't care too much about Storm's figures though.

This looks awful. I'll wait for the Figma instead.

I have ToyWiz near me, about a 30 min drive from where i am in NJ. seems the B&M store now only has board/card game events set up there with a few comics and figures along the wall. i guess all their stuff is in a warehouse for online stuff.ToyWiz says it was supposed to be out last month, but it hasn't popped up anywhere yet. But it was announced and shown off, so it should be out soon...I hope.
ToyWiz absolutely is terrible as an online store. I ordered an item that was in stock and they cancelled the order a week later without an explanation of any kind. Reading their complaints online at BBB and other retailer review aggregates, it's something they do frequently.

They have a store and a warehouse. The website is run out of the warehouse, but when I used to go to the shop to buy comics every week (before going digital) I remember one of the guys frequently running to the warehouse to grab things for the store. Cancellations may have been a stock issue related to that.

^that's a buy for LiK
That's not really fair, considering their target market.
Wasn't it the same in-game?
Edit: Yep

Do Gecco figures look better in person than the pics let on? Their prices used to be reasonable when they were doing the Silent Hill line, then the prices got batshit insane. Now $300 per figure is standard for them.
Huh. I don't remember it being that much of a size difference but I guess so lol
I can only speak for the Hunter statue but I think they look better than the photos. The statue looks fantastic in person, in the photos it almost looks like the lighting they are using isn't soft enough and it makes everything look too sharp.
Like here's a Promo Shot for the Hunter:
And here's a photo during an event:
The more 'natural' lighting for the event photo looks a lot better than the official shot imo

$300 though? That's some polystone-level pricing. Not PVC.
FromSoftware mark-up is a helluva thing. Almost all of their Dark Souls/Bloodborne statues run for ridiculous price tags, honestly kinda surprise this isn't higher.
Probably gonna pass on it myself. Something about her shawl just looks off to me.

That's not it. Quiet from MGS and Guts were around the same price. Ultraman was even more expensive.

I had the MGS Ground Zeroes Snake for awhile it was pretty awesome wish I would have snagged a Hunter the prices are flipper level now.

I saw that. Manda had a few listings that sold at 65k and 80k. I like Bloodborne but not enough to pay that much.

Yo, when the hell did Play Arts get so expensive?
$20-$30
$20-$30
$50-$60
$129.99

About when they stopped looking like they came out of a Hasbro factory.

I'd take the early series over the Kai series any day.
Aqua looks amazing but not for that price, I'll get her because I like the character though and its her only figure.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Like I said a while back, their Star Trek figures were $90 and were sub-Mattel quality. For reference that's $20 higher than Mezco's MSRP for their One:12 Trek line.
Shadow Ranger

$20? On a sale, maybe.
But yeah, they're just keep getting more and more expensive and bigger. And a little uglier for most things not FF/KH.
I'm glad KHII Sora is getting an SHF release. Hopefully it does well enough to start getting more KH, like Terra, and eventually FF on that line (or Figma, I'm okay with either). PAK are just overpriced for what they are.
That said, Aqua does look good...
Because people like Messi exist and will remortgage the house to get more waifu figures.

September and October are death months. There's a lot of shit coming out.
Which retailer? I got nothing from BBTS but i don't recall them emailing about delays.
figma BotW Link when? I know we've had no shortage of Link figures and I'd really like to see a greater variety of characters being represented but dammit... I don't want to have to settle for that World of Nintendo BotW Link... need a figma asap to satisfy me. I'll get the nendo as a short-term solution though.
Send a message that they need to focus on their new Bring Arts line, which is in a way more accessible scale and price-range.
The KHIII Bring Arts Sora just released is pretty great, scales well with your figma/shf collection and won't break the bank.
We need more.

What's going on with that? They didn't even announce the one from her own movie other than the Armor Training one.
