I still can't believe they're making a Blizzard and Thundra, but wouldn't put Thor or Hawkeye into mass distribution, or make a Wanda or Pietro at all. Still buying them all, despite thinking the wave looks really lame, because I need to have that Hulkbuster in my life.

This is Hasbro. They're probably going to make future BAF waves have one of each and make Wanda and Pietro one per case.

Yeah, thinking about preordering loose Strange, Warmachine, and Vision, and then picking up hulk buster down the road. This wave looks massively disappointing. Really getting tired of the Bucky cap mold too

Yeah I really want that hulkbuster. I want the war machine and marvel now iron man. I kinda want Dr strange and vision but the other three I don't want at all.

i'm guessing we'll see some now that the movie is getting rave reviews and probably might make a lot of money.

It seems like everything gets a Hot Toys nowadays, so I'm sure at least one of those will come. I feel like Mad Max is a license that NECA would really go for, as far as a mass retail thing.
 
Hot Toys Starwars line is blowing up quick,must have been an very expensive license to acquire. Im in for a couple of Stormtroopers,Vader,Boba Fett and slave Leia if done.

Will try to get some pics later.

also got a closer look at Megaman

I preordered from Truforce. But I gotta say, I"m bummed that it's 6 inches instead of the 5" we already have from D-arts and Figuarts. I'm still trying to track down a used Megaman X figure for sale. It's too pricey for me on ebay.

Don't think so! Just saw this teaser, most likely the next DX!

This would be a nice two pack. I have the Bespin Luke SS exclusive. Pretty damn cool it was two figures. They did an incredible job with him. I'm curious how accurate his New Hope face sculpt would be.

Hey Action Figure GAF,
I have been looking for a decent Gurren Lagann figure, and was wondering what was your opinion on the Guren Lagann Composite Ver. Ka Figure?

I don't think the DX line exists anymore but some releases will have the attributes of it (like Batman Return Bats because wasn't he supposes to be the DX15?)

I think it does because they teased MMS300 as a big reveal and it had the DX logo. I'll try to find it.

Been wanting this double pack for a while, can't wait for it to come to NA.

Totally forgot that Figuarts Mashin Chaser and his bike are coming out next week. Really excited about this one. The suit design is amazing and this will also be the first Figuarts Kamen Rider bike I'll be getting. Given how often its used in the series, it's really the first one I felt compelled to buy.


Really cannot wait to get my hands on this guy. The Figuarts Drive line is perhaps the most excited I've been about Figuarts for some time.
 
Love the little details on this figure. I haven't finished on putting every piece on it but here it is. The die cast parts feel pretty good and give it a good look.
Congrats on a wicked pick up. Be careful though, I remember when this figure came out there were plenty of reports about the hip joints breaking. It's a shame they ended the Chogokin Spec line. I had all the Evas from the original SOC line so I was only going to collect the Rebuild Evas from the Spec line, but after Unit 01 and 00 they never made anymore. I guess that was a blessing in disguise though, considering the direction that Rebuild has gone in.

I don't have it myself, but reviews seem pretty positive. Bandai makes great stuff so if you like the design and have got the cash, I'd say go for it.

The one thing that bugs me about the non-Gundam Ver. Ka lines is that Katoki's patented huge amount of decals are done by default, whether it works for that universe's stuff or not. I don't particularly like GL's mixture of Tribal tattoo style and warning label decals, but if you are ok with those I think the figure is a safe bet.
 
Fixed the neck and added the plug.

Yeah really digging this line thanks for the tip. Are the older models worth getting? Im thinking of saving up for that Unit 00 blue with the spear of longinus.

Go for the SPEC release of Unit-00 (XS-09) to match. The original Soul of Chogokin ones are pretty nice, but they're older. They were the best money could buy when they were released in 2003, but they've been surpassed.

Still, they're pretty cool, and SPEC never made Unit-03 or 04.

Okay interesting. :) please do post the pic when you can. I know they were asking people to guess to win some Iron Man but I don't remember seeing a teaser.

Pics of the figures from people who have the double set., I have to compare it to my S.W.A.T Gordon but he looks pretty similar.

Yeah This seems to be the best choice price and quality wise. I don't mind the tribals even though I would prefer not to have them, thanks for your opinion.

I don't want to criticize your photos properpropaganda, but we just had another toy thread closed due to the sexualized content of the photos. You might want to consider removing those.

They are really cool figures though, love 'em.

Next wave is June. It's the Hulkbuster wave.
