Totally forgot to pick up the Majima Figma from AmiAmi and now orders are closed. He's selling for a lot more in other retailers now. Thankfully, Hobbysearch still has him which is surprising considering how quickly they sell out stock all the time.


That's quick. Guess I'll preorder for now.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
$40 for a Legends figure and a cheap plastic motorcycle is a ripoff.
This is what $15 gets you when it comes to licensed non-Hasbro 1:12 motorcycles.

^ who makes that and where i can i buy one?

Maisto. It's on Amazon.
I like this one more but it's $20.


This is the sweetest ride I've found in 1/12 but it's fucking $600.
 
They were on the NECA website almost a month ago. They sold out in a few minutes.
They won't be sold again anywhere.

That really sucks, and I don't understand why they would limit them this much.

I'm seeing KO versions of the arcade turtles on EBay, so hopefully they start pumping these out too. Better then nothing.
 
Something cheaper for Messi but cute Harley merchandise regardless.




Marvel Legends Gamora arrived today and it's absolutely crazy how good this looks. I think this is the best looking Marvel Legends I've ever seen, the likeness of Zoe Saldana is like 90% accurate and all the paint is flawlessly applied. There's nothing out of place or chipped or warped. Was there sorcery involved in the making of this figure?

Apologies for the crappy phone pic. Don't have my camera with me right now.

I think I need Nebula now.

The crazy part is that since then they upped the resolution of their face printing far beyond Figuarts level.
Hela will melt brains

Aah, so that's how they did it. It is pretty crazy now that you mention it. I'm comparing Gamora to SHF Han Solo right now and it's amazing how Gamora looks like a better import figure than the actual import figure (well, the face does).

Hela is indeed gonna be amazing.

Someone needs to let the Black Series guys in on the secret, because that puts all of them to fucking shame.

Apparently Hasbro announced the Black Series will start using the new face technique that Legends has used beginning in Spring of 2018,
First example will be
 
I believe so. I think I saw that on the schedule I was browsing yesterday to see when the Kotobukiya panel is.

Thanks, not expecting any Last Jedi stuff but really want to hear about the return of the Vintage Collection line next spring and maybe some new Rebels stuff(still need Zeb, Ezra and Chopper in the Black Series)

Kind of surprised they started wth Legends, since Black Series would benefit so much more.
 
Batman figure is amazing. It looks EXACTLY like the film version, might as well be a replica. Bruce's head sculpt is also amazing. Only thing I dislike is that the head is attached via magnet.

If you're happy then more power to you. I consider it one of the most disappointing figures in my collection. The cowl included on the original release is just bad (fixed in the armory release), the fat suit hinders the lower half in articulation, the chest has a weird misalignment where the lines meet the bat, the pads are too puffy, just one of those that I wish HT would go back and redo. Especially after seeing how good the BvS release was.

One day Haloid will be surrounded and I will not be there to save him from the wrath of his peers

don't mind me just having fun at SDCC
 
Ya, it's a great Ryu figure overall. Were you optional hands kinda lose (they come off easily)? I didn't like his open mouth face, but most of the time they aren't good anyway.

Chun-Li is good, and her face is better in person. Not a fan of the bishoujou look but it was okay for her. Cammy and Mika I guess we'll have to wait and see.. wish Mika's breasts weren't so huge on the fig but, eh "accuracy". Can only imagine what Laura will be like. Might have to NSFW the video of it when it comes to it.

haven't switch the hands yet, but didn't look like it's loose. having a lot of fun just taking photo of some poses, didn't even bother setting up lighting and background. probably do it later when I have more time.

I also end up ordering Chun Li as well. can't wait to play around with that one.
