I thought that mod ruling was stupidly vague, even the clarity was vague. Don't be mysterious and ominous, be open and transparent.

I dont like the boatgirls nendos. But theres nothing actually wrong with them? posable, clothed.

Without some decent rules properly explained its just going to look like petty, vindictive modding.

background: I lurked figuregaf mainly for videogame nendos/figmas/statues, was a very good catch-all thread and saved me following endless blogs. sad to see it ripped to the ground on a whim (whim = didnt see a mod posting/warning in there in a long time, but I fast-scrolled the pages)

 

[Drayco21]

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

But all of these things have been discussed thoroughly from the beginning. The last few pages alone have been a bunch of discussion about Hot Toys, Figmas and Figuarts.

he was being sarcastic.

Better ban them and delete those posts, then, because that stuff was also posted in FigureGAF!

 

[Broken Hope]

What exactly was wrong with my Nedoroid post that got it deleted?

Last I checked Nendoroids can be classed as articulated figures, there was nothing revealing or lewd about the Nendoroid I posted, other people have posted Nendoroids and not had their posts deleted, so what's the actual rule?

 

[Flintty]

You're not alone.

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

Same here. Will buy Halo Figuarts.

I messaged a mod. I was told they were not to be posted here.

 

[LiK]

no Nendos? so my Nintendo, Marvel and MGS Nendos ain't allowed either? well, whatever

 

[Mik317]

Really? wow. Nendo have been posted in here before, no? The Wind Waker Link one constantly makes an appearance (and tempts my wallet...staaahp). Red as well.

If there are going to be rules, they should be clear.

i'm guessing case-by-case basis. i will PM Cyan often when i get them!

makes sense.

I hope I didn't offend anyone. I liked both threads and generally lurked. So I don't want to cause any trouble for this one obviously.

Me either. Thought I would be able to contribute but not the case. Didn't mean to derail, sorry about that.

Following up on questions of what is and isn't ok to post in here. As ModBot said in the closing post in FigureGAF, if a community thread gets shut down, we don't want that community to try to take over another thread. This is why I posted rules of thumb rather than absolute standards--the intent here is not something like "western action figures are fine, Japanese stuff is bad," but rather "please don't move your discussion wholesale into this thread and drown out what was previously discussed here."

We're not super excited about arguing a bunch of exemptions and edge cases, especially since the distinction between this thread and the Figure thread was always a little fuzzy around the edges. But clearly people are wondering what's ok to post here and want some further rules. Ok, we can do some of that. Giant robot action figures are fine. Nendo figures might fit the letter of this thread, but they don't appear to fit the spirit. On the other hand, Nendo figures weren't the problem with FigureGAF, so we're open to allowing discussion of them, just not in this thread. If someone wants to make a thread for Nendos specifically, that's fine.

If you want to respond or ask further questions, feel free to do so via PM rather than in this thread. This thread has been derailed enough.

thanks again for the clarification.

Finally found Marvel Legends Daredevil today . They also had the new wave of NECA Predators but I couldn't for the life of me remember which ones I already had and which one I didnt

Let's get this thread back on track!

Does Superman even lift?

 

[ohhthegore]

That's when you know you have a problem.

Hnng Arkham Bats is my most wanted figure this year.

“Well, I was born yesterday.” One of the biggest highlights of the record-breaking Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron is the introduction of the new characters in the film! Originally planned to be the perfect “evolution” for Ultron, the Avengers was able to retrieve the android Vision and made him a valuable ally for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to stop Ultron from eradicating mankind!

Today, Hot Toys is excited to present the humanoid hero that many fans have been waiting for – the 1/6th scale Vision Collectible Figure!

The movie-accurate Vision Collectible Figure is specially crafted based on his image in Avengers: Age of Ultron. It features a newly developed head sculpt with detailed texture and Mind Stone, specially tailored costume and cape, Thor’s hammer Mjölnir, and a specially designed figure stand.

Your Avengers: Age of Ultron collection wouldn’t be complete without the addition of this powerful android!

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I like everything but the head sculpt really. It looks a little too big in some angles and I wish the facial details were a little more subtle. I'm probably just too picky.

 

[Rootbeer]

Hah, he comes with Thor's hammer Nice touch.

 

[Haloid1177]

So now that we've got Vision we're just waiting on the twins and the Mark 45 right?

 

[Hagi]

Hmm I don't know what it is but he doesn't look right at all. Still waiting for Scarlett and Pietro.

I'm with you. He kinda just looks wrinkly to me.

same thought, lol

 

[dankir]

Head Sculpt looks a bit off but they'll work on it.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Just ordered TMNT Revoltech Leo. Hope to god my order does not get cancelled, because sod paying near £100+ for him elsewhere.

And Thor Officially release of the Ultron Sentrys, Ultimate Ultron and I'm of a couple of character variants.

Thor is pretty much a rerelease of the Light Armor figure though. Are they doing Ultimate Ultron? Hope they make him die cast at least.

Ultron is being made but not diecast.

 

[Haloid1177]

I mean I have Ultron Supreme on order, but I'd much prefer if they made Ultimate Ultron die cast. If they're doing it for Whiplash they can do it for him too.

not surprised if they double dip on him like that with some of the IM suits.

That Satellite thing that spits out Hulk Buster parts

That Satellite thing that spits out Hulk Buster parts

Veronica? Isn't that's what it was called?

 

[dankir]

Veronica? Isn't that's what it was called?

I think Veronica is what the Hulk Buster is called as a whole including the satellite no? Like Mark 45 is Friday.

 

[curb]

I thought it was the whole system. I could totally be wrong.

I thought F.R.I.D.A.Y. was the name of his new AI, since Jarvis became Vision.

 

[curb]

I thought F.R.I.D.A.Y. was the name of his new AI, since Jarvis became Vision.

FRIDAY was definitely the AI.

 

[dankir]

FRIDAY was definitely the AI.

Sure? I thought I remember seeing when he pulls up the Mark 45 schematic it said
Friday?

I know he uploaded something via USB drive or whatever that had Friday labelled on it.

Those were the AI programs for the suit. He uses "her" name in conversation with the suit AI during the final act.

There was another one labelled "Jocasta" too as a good *wink wink* moment.

Vision up on Sideshow Collectibles for $220. They have got to be joking.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

There are Revoltech TMNT? Mind blown

Yep! Based on the new cartoon, so really depends if you like that look.

 

[Diggeh]

I really like them, but they got way too expensive way too fast. Sticking to collecting the Playmates figures for the new series.

 

[Haloid1177]

Did you really expect less? That's like base price for HT now.

 

[moai]

So how does marvel legends compare to figuarts in size? Since there is no hawkeye from figuarts im going to buy the amazon 4 pack to go with the others. Are they similar ?

 

[ohhthegore]

Vision up on Sideshow Collectibles for $220. They have got to be joking.

that's about what I expected. Ever since paying $300 for Robocop anything cheaper than that doesn't sound so bad to me

 

[dankir]

Vision up on Sideshow Collectibles for $220. They have got to be joking.

What were you expecting? He's the same price as Widow, Hawkeye, Cap. That's basically the entry level price point for HT figures now. It's only getting more expensive from here bud.

Whiplash 1.0 was 149.99 when he was first released. So no this logic when Infinity wara figures start coming out looking at easily 300 a figure

 

[Haloid1177]

Anyone have the NECA 1/4 Arkham Origins Batman? Saw him at local FYE today and am thinking about going back tomorrow for him.

 

[Flintty]

Yep! Based on the new cartoon, so really depends if you like that look.

They look awesome! No room for them here though, I have nearly all of the playmates figures.
