Well as awesome as he looks I may skip Thanos this time because, you know, we'll see him again soon-ish, with the one accessory he needs to really be Thanos we know and love.
But Ronan would be bought so hard.

Anyone have Black Series Chewie? He's on offer on Amazon UK for Star Wars day. Was thinking of getting him - then again there'll be a new version for the Force Awakens if those leaked prototypes were anything to go by.

So excited for that Rocket/Groot set. Been waiting on it for what seems like forever.

Finally we get a Dean Ambrose figure that actually looks like him!
Yeah Hot Toys will be getting all the big properties for sure. I can't wait to see the different Batman figures they're going to release next year.
Standard Batman
PowerSuit Batman
and supposedly he has a third suit right?
Suicide Squad 1/6 figures depends on how the movie does I guess. I'm sure we'll get Joker, Harley and Deadshot or whatever WIll Smiths character is lol.

No they haven't updated the date. This is US only. The Asian Markets they may already be released?
I'd say we get those 3 regardless of how the movie does. We know it wont fail out the gate due to people just wanting to see Joker and then Harley to a lesser extent.
Batman figures and Superman are a given.

Considering she came out in march you're probably out of luck, unless a US release is coming, you'll have to pay scalper prices.

Got some new Figmas in.
Akagi is one of the worst Figmas I have so far. Her posability sucks there are quality issues. Her flight deck doesn't stay on and she doesn't hold the arrow well.
Kaga however fixes all the issues I have with Akagi. She has better posability and she holds the arrows. Plus her paint is better.
You can't have one without the other though.
My whole fleet so far.

Set will most likely be $400+. Batman alone will be around the $200+ mark.

I imagine itd be in the same ballpark as the Cap STRIKE Suit two pack (which is stunning and everyone should buy it).
I can't help but feel the face sculpt just hasnt quite nailed Keaton's likeness. It'll probably get tweaked before release. What I'm excited about it what or who else is in the Batman Returns line...this is going to get expensive.
God dammit, now I have to get this one too??? Arrrgh!Batman Returns finally announced
In the case of the DBZ SHF, all were JP web exclusives with the exception of SS Goku and Piccolo. The US is the only country where all the DBZ figures were easily available at one time. Bandai Japan doesn't reissue JP web exclusives which is why they've reissued SS Goku and Piccolo multiple times but didn't do the same with figures such as SS Vegeta and Future Trunks.

Absolutely and I think we are all well aware of that, but the question here is why. Hence the idea of maybe changing the packaging or a few accessories on the reissues to keep the "value" of the premium/web exclusives/first print/whatever and make substantial money by selling figures that would definitely sell well.
Lol true enoughTheir scalping skills are top notch though
I consider it payback for Gaijin who travel to Japan to snatch their good retro games, and their women (Not like they're doing anything worthwile with either of them nowadays.)
But I digress.
Still amazed about the markup in price of the Pink MMPR and the Mattel Hulk Hogan figure.

Yeah they tend to fix headsculpts if the backlash is strong. He'll look much better for sure when released.

Does Hot Toys still do the PERS?
I'm so afraid of breaking it on my Joker and Batman.

Here's a comparison of DX-08 and the new Batman Returns figure.
I already have 89 but I'll get this as well
I don't think they've done it in a while. They only do them on the DX figures
Price listed at $345, which is a pretty good deal I think.

And $220 for just Batman. For modern Hot Toys pricing, that seems surprisingly reasonable.

They've moved to a system where each eyeball is movable independently I believe. Cuts down on breakage.

I passed on 89(but got the Batmobile & Joker) because I knew this would come someday.
God I love this suit so much more than the first.
Hot Toys Bruce Banner for $113 is pretty damn tempting.

I second this vote! I picked him up for a similar price in the UK and I think he was worth it.

Man the detail on those Hot Toys stuff is just nuts. Amazing what they can do.
I never really got into the Jurassic Park figures when they came out back in the day. Which is somewhat surprising considering I was huge into Dinosaurs growing up. I sort of wish I had at the time. I still have a T-rex from the first movie but he's missing the little exposed skin part covering his battle damage. To this day I consider it a well done representation of the Dino.
Over the past two months or so I have picked up some new Marvel Legends. Some really great strides have been made by Hasbro as of late.

Some cool shots I've seen with all 4 Guardians figures so far.
So, so good. Now I need to get a Gamora too, no matter what :/

Got a Black Series 6" Darth Vader for retail price today. Great figure, no real complaints, especially considering that I didn't have to pay a ridiculous price.
Did you guys see what the Black Series Darth Maul is going for? Jeez.

I like Vader but his helmet's a bit off in my opinion.
Tell me about it, just got my Starlord and Mk3 construction. Should have Gamora coming in two weeks and I got Groot and Rocket on PO but it all depends when it arrives with my distributor.
