Action Figure GAF |OT| Articulated figures murdered my wallet

I am happy to be proven wrong!
 
It looks like the whole Justice League DC Comics Multiverse figure wave popped up on eBay. They switched the regular Batman with the Tactical Suit one, which a Mattel employee said would be exclusive to the remote controlled Batmobile a few months ago. I guess maybe the regular one will now come with that instead...or will be a store exclusive.

Flash's design actually looks alright in figure form.

It happens, though. I bought the BvS Wonder Woman statue that DC Collectibles put out. It came out literally ONE YEAR after it was originally supposed to. Not from the date it was initially solicited, the actual release date. It was just continually delayed until it finally released this past April. It took so long that they just swapped out the base and are also using it as the WW Justice League statue.

One:12 is a killer line for delays too. They have multiple figures approaching one year late.

Really? Better than figuarts? That would be something that might get me to collect legends.

I just meant the quality of the face printing. Hasbro has been experimenting with it for a while. Gamora was where they got roughly in the same ballpark as Bandai, where it looks great until you get close to it and then it has a gritty look to it. With the Ragnarok wave it's so detailed that you can't tell it's a print.
 
Nnng! There's no specific Marvel/DC/Star Wars character that I care about enough to get a $200 figure, but unless the movie is so horrible that I want to cleanse every memory of it, I must have Laureline. And then maybe Valerian as well. Goddammit, Hot Toys!

Haven't seen the ragnarok wave yet. I almost bit on a few of the GOTG2 wave, but held off in the end.

It's beyond me how the Marvel Legends line is getting better and better and the Star Wars line is.. well this. The faces are dull and it's clear as day that there is going to be another Luke, since this one has no accessories at all.

Target has the 6" Black Series figures from Force Friday 2016 for <$5 now. Maybe they'll finally get rid of them just in time to clog their pegs with figures from another movie I don't care about.

DAT ROCKETEER

Makes me wish I had gotten one of those cool Mondo Rocketeer prints. Not sure how much I'd want to lug that giant statue around though.

I've never heard the name of the company before is all. I did see Kubo and the Two Strings, though.

I've heard of them but I thought they went out of business recently.
Daddy must be very, very supportive.
