Action Figure GAF |OT| Articulated figures murdered my wallet

I'd buy a HAT Shuma Gorath, but it has to be base on the comics.
I see. Good to know that they upped their game.

Looks great.
Hell yea. Wish they did Sherlock now.
Hey Action-Figure Gaf, I have a question for the Macross Experts. I have a coworker in Hong Kong right now and was hoping to have him checkout the prices on figures out there.
Im looking for a transformable 1/60 VF-1S Super/Strike valkyrie. I know the Yamato's have been out for a long time, are there any other brands or specific models I should have him look for?
thanks!

Y'know, I thought I was more or less free. Before this week, I hadn't posted in this thread at all in nearly the whole calendar year. I've been selectively picking figures up here and there instead of compulsively trying to buy everything, and slowly caring less and less about even those.
And then the last seven days happened, and I'm all the way back down the rabbit hole again.

Yamato is now Arcadia. If you're looking for a 1/60 scale VF-1 then tell your coworker to look for Arcadia products.

I'd really like to get a diecast HT Iron Man figure to replace my Power Pose one.
Anyone know which ones are running cheaper second hand? Not looking for any particular armor, but would like something more classic/representative of the character.

The Mark III Diecast would probably fit the bill. It's the suit from the first movie, doesn't get more representative than that. However, the figure's feature-set and articulation isn't as strong as other Diecast releases, which is probably why the resale value is pretty low (I saw between $225-$250 before shipping under "used" "sold listings" on eBay).
thanks! i noticed the arcadia figures on Hobby link japan and was wondering about them.

The Mark III is readily available but is also probably the weakest release in the line. Weirdly short, shitty articulation. Out of the ones I have now I'd probably say that the Mark 42 is my fave, but I think that'll change with the 46 tomorrow, which is the armor I'd probably recommend you get since it's readily available and the newest.

It looks like my local Walmart might have the exclusive Ultimate Batcave playset for $20 (normally $100)...hmm...tempting...
Edit: Watched a review...don't think I even have space for it. It's massive.

The new PacRim designs went a little too anime for me.

Did anyone here order those Articulated Icons: The Feudal Series ninja figures on Kickstarter? They're finally shipping after what feels like forever.
They should've gone full Gundam
When we first saw that poster I was hoping they were just stylized but this confirms that no, they really did change the mecha style.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I've been looking at diorama pieces.
You can put a display cabinet in your display cabinet.

1/12 and 1/6 motorcycle prices are very reasonable. For die-cast, no less. Cars, not so much.

Cool. I got a coupon in the mail from Toys R Us for "15% one item" that expires on the 30th. Would be nice if shows in store then I can use my employee discount on it as well.

I bought the Final Chapter version of Jason from NECA and it's the only figure I've bought in the last couple years for less than $50 that has completely straight accessories. It shouldn't be amazing, but it is.
It also came with the mask from Part 3. Why? I don't know but I'm not complaining.

Did they release an Palpatine figure before?
They teased it when they teased ROTJ Luke and a Royal Guard back at Celebration. This is the best look we've gotten at it. Hoping there's a deluxe version that includes the throne.
I cannot imagine them not including the throne. So iconic.

I purposely avoid the fuck out of Hot Toys because thats a rabbit hole I don't need to go down.
But I NEED this Luke, which means I'll NEED the Vader, which means I'll need the eventual Emperor, which means I'll NEED Darth Maul, which means I'm down the fucking rabbit hole

Give in.
I thought I was only going to purchase one...I now have 8, and maybe half a dozen are preordered, and have to set myself limits as to how many I can purchase in a year. <_<

I'm still trying to determine what Vader is in that photo. Is it the Rogue One figure or an actual new ESB/ROTJ Vader? I can't tell. Sheev is probably gonna hit sometime next fall.

Hmm...the chest box isn't rogue/new hope style and looks like empire/return
Edit: Definitely empire/return after seeing more pics. Knew it was coming eventually

UPS needs to get to work so I can close my office door and open my Mark 46.

Bespin Luke is still the best overall figure set HT has ever done. Love that thing to death.
Mark 46 arrived at the office. Heaviest 1/6 scale figure from HT I've gotten I think.
I've looked at reviews of the Bespin Luke set and judging solely on value alone at the time of release, it's a pretty staggering set. $300 for essentially two complete Hot Toys figures seems like a steal now but even back then it was still a pretty good deal.

That and the piece of shit DX-12 dropped like three weeks apart and it was staggering that $60 more (I think the DX-12 was $240?) got me a huge base and a second whole figure.
Fuck the DX-12. Most disappointing figure I think I've ever gotten.
The DX12 looks weird, like it's eyes are really big or something. But maybe it looks better in person? I dunno I've never owned it or any HT Batman figure.
It's interesting to me it took 5 figures to get that particular batman "right" (TDK/TDKR), but their first try with BvS Batman was nearly perfect.
