I ordered this a weeks back.

I spent an enjoyable hour putting these guys together.

They are in scale with the Star Wars Black Series in the way that the actual R2 that was released wasn't.

They looked a shade too factory fresh so I gave them a wash of black acrylic and matte spray. I did the same to the Luke too. He was far too shiny out of the box. I also replaced Vader's chain and inner and outer capes.

Also assembling the Avengers. Had to give Thor a cloth cape.

Gave Hulk and Cap a matte spray to get rid of their cheap sheen.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

What kind of matte spray did you use?

Hot Toys Arkham Batman is looking so dope!! though it doesn't look like you can do too much with the cape. It looks wired up and not spreadable like the MoS Superman cape.

HOPEFULLY the rubber used here is soft and durable.

 

[LiK]

Indeed, I rather just check out that sweet AC Batman from Hoty Toys instead that I sure would be way better than this if I was willing to spend that much on a figure lol.

Only $100 and it looks much nicer and less of a mess in design:

yea, i guess they want diehard Nomura fans to buy up that overpriced figure.

 

[GentlemanCrow]

What kind of matte spray did you use?

I'm currently using a spray called Valspar Clear Sealer. I bought because I couldn't find my usual brand Rust-oleum. But I have been pleasantly surprised with the finish it offers and will be getting it moving forward.

 

[moai]

Thanks for the thor figure ideas, i think im going with the figma one.

Which toy company's Cap is this? His face actually looks decent for a non-Hot Toys figure.

That's the one I have, for me is the best in that category, best likeness, best suit, best Cape.

 

[ohhthegore]

wow that Arkham City Batman looks surprisingly good.

Anyword on the price yet? I'm guessing its gonna be around $249.99

 

[ohhthegore]

looks like I found someone to see me a Hot Toys Bruce Wayne from the armory set for $160. YES!

This is one of the best Batman Arkham City figurine I ever seen. Wish I got tons of cash.

It's the latest Marvel Legends offering.

You can get it from AmiAmi for about $60 plus shipping.

Arkham Knight himself looks pretty neat too. Too bad I won't be able to play the game yet when it comes out.:/

preordered both. the discount is worth it and i'm sure i'll love the game.

 

[Apharmd]

I guess the one question I want to ask here right now is who in this thread collects or likes Kamen Rider, Gundam or Transformers? I just like to get to know the other community members into the stuff I like.

Yeah, I mainly lurk but I'm totally down on Gundam and Rider. Though, I mostly collect Robot Spirits/Damashii/Soul/Tamashii on Gundam and Figuarts on Rider.

How much with shipping to US?

 

[SpikedGunner]

How much with shipping to US?

Depends on the speed you want, I recently paid off a Play Arts Kai figure I had pre-ordered and chose the 2nd fastest option (Air Small Packet) or rather the option before EMS...came to about $20, I image EMS is $25, while the SAL options are obviously cheaper.

 

[Omegabalmung9]

How much with shipping to US?

Depends on the weight of the package. You can check out a chart they have on their shipping rates here.

[HazySaiyan]

How much with shipping to US?

Depends on what sort of shipping you want, and they don't tell you until it's ready to go. HLJ let you know at checkout before you confirm your order so maybe try something that's already out to get a decent estimate.

EDIT: I tried it with the PAK Rorschach and it comes out at $14-$29 depending on how quickly you want it and if you want tracking.

Arkham Knight himself looks pretty neat too. Too bad I won't be able to play the game yet when it comes out.:/

I really want both of these but I'm not sure if I have the room for them :/ Harley Quinn is a must buy though.

As for the game, I know I'll love it but I want to wait until I can get a new graphics card to play it. Free Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight is too good of an offer to pass up when you're getting a new card anyway.

Added those super cute Animal Crossing Sofubi to my May order. Figma Snake and Lucina were going to be my first AmiAmi order before they were delayed, but this more than makes up for it.

Nice. I need a double job for that beauty.

 

[Drayco21]

Looking at how great Nintendo figures have been lately has really made me wish there were more quality video game figure out there. McFarlane stuff is just okay, and NECA seems few and far between these days. I'd kill for a nice, consistent 6" scale Marvel Legends equivalent for video game characters.

Looking forward to the Mezco MKX line and the NECA Dante, though.

 

[Omegabalmung9]

Just came in today

 

[ohhthegore]

Just came in today

She looks pretty good

 

[HItman84]

Just came in today

How are her legs and Hips? I had to have two replaced. First ones were super super super weak. Second arrived with broken hips and thigh joints.
Sideshow had me break original instead of ship back and when I tell you the leg peg snapped with almost no force, it was kind of scary. Honestly It makes me really afraid to touch her so she's still in the box.

Yoshi's arms look weird, but it's the mouth that creeps me out. Looks like a puppet.

I'd absolutely kill for a Halo Figuarts or Figma line.

You're not alone.

Both Figuarts and Figma do outstanding work, and I'd gladly pay the premium on them.

 

[Muzicfreq]

I feel like there's a time loop. I see some posts and then *POOF* they're gone.... Wtf is going on today?

 

[Enron]

Here's a simple rule of thumb: if there is something that you previously would've posted in FigureGAF, and you're wondering if since that thread is locked you should post it here instead, maybe don't.

Gundams - those would have gone in the other thread, and aren't little girl fanservice etc.

Are those ok here?

 

[Haloid1177]

I think Gundam will be okay.

you are not a mod unfortunately

 

[Negator]

Seems like if you ever posted in Figure gaf, you are not welcome here.

Did you ever post Gundams in there?

 

[LiK]

i guess boatgirls aren't allowed even in Nendo form.

Gundams have been posted here for a while. i don't see a problem with them unless the rules have changed.

again, need an official answer for this. Because it does seem like the rules have changed.

as anything that would be posted in this thread could've and had a high chance of being posted in the other thread, its not a defined rule. All you can really do is post and see if it gets deleted

or get perm'd. not risking an account for that. Would be helpful to get a ruling from Cyan or whoever is policing the thread

 

[LiK]

this is in OP for what they consider action figures:

An action figure is a poseable character figurine, made of plastic or other materials, and often based upon characters from a film, comic book, video game, or television program.

Gundam applies.

 

[Einbroch]

I thought I was obeying the rules.

I love Nendoroids. I love GAF. Nendoroids are a majority of my collection. They were okay to post here before (and I have posted them here in the past), they were okay'd after by both a mod and regulars. I posted a Nendoroid, it was deleted.

I'm just confused. I don't want to cause trouble, but now the rules have changed, apparently? I dunno. Nendoroids aren't inappropriate at all, and a lot of people here like the posability of them.

I just want to discuss Nendoroids. If I have to make a thread (and if it's allowed), I will.

Still waiting for something official, thanks

Cyan's rule was if it would be posted in figuregaf dont post it here, so, no gundams, no play arts, no hot toys, no figmas

 

[Muzicfreq]

So do kancolle since they are from a game when you think about it and there's figmas and nendos are also posable.
Persona characters are also from games obviously.

But I guess ... Heh... Those don't matter

Honestly, most nendos are appropriate but some of the Kancolle ones with the damaged forms make me roll my eyes, but I don't think I've ever seen them posted here.

Yeah, but those are ugly. Why pay for less plastic, pls.

I just want a 100 of the stormtroopers nendos ..

 

[Einbroch]

I just want a 100 of the stormtroopers nendos ..

It's funny that usually sites limit them to 2-3, but for the Stormtrooper they knew people wanted a bunch so they let people get like up to 10, I believe.

They know. And they enable.

AmiAmi's limit was 6 so I ordered 6.
