Action Figure GAF |OT| Articulated figures murdered my wallet
- Thread starter George Oscar Bluth II
- Start date
You have both coming? Nice.
I'm trying to decide between the NECA and the PAK one. For my wallet's sake since I already bought some stuff this month lol.
Edit; got my Casshan figure from Sentinel's Tatsunoko line. They did an incredible job. Love all re die-cast parts, gives it nice weight and makes it easy to stand. And the LED light for the symbol on his chest is cool. It's surprisingly bright.

Took out Play Arts Arkham Origins Batman for a photo, still think this is the best Batsuit in the Arkham games and Play Arts did a great job for the most part. Don't know why they insisted on giving the armored parts a bronzish sheen, but whatever, this figure still looks great!

I didn't realize PAK changes scale from City to Origins. Now I'm even more excited for the Arkham Knight version.

Scale unfortunately means nothing in the world of PAK, the Origins Robin figure is taller than Batman!

That Prime looks incredible and is definitely a must buy.
But seriously, fuck them for making the blaster exclusive. Guys, help me decide, buy from Bambaland for $430 + free shipping + exclusive blaster, or should I just grab it from Sideshow and get it at wholesale pricing? I'm guessing it'll be around $320 + bundled shipping with other items, but no blaster exclusive.

Why would it be $320 through Sideshow?

I'd be getting it at wholesale through the comic shop I work for and that's approximately how much Megatron's wholesale cost is, which shares the same MSRP as Prime.

Ah in that case I would go for the wholesale price. The gun isn't worth $100.

Super ecstatic . I finally got my hands on a Marvel Select Venom for 27.00 dollars! The same price I paid for Carnage, cant wait till he gets here so I can start working on my Spider-man display!

I don't own one, but Marvel Select Venom is my favourite Venom figure. Hopefully Hasbro make a Marvel Legends Brock Venom using one of their new body molds.

That would be awesome. I just hope they don't use the Hyperion Body mold. I think the proportions are off and it doesn't look good with all characters. Especially when they used it with Anti-Venom and Toxin.

Why does he wear the mask!?

That looks amazing. Price on that? I fancy a decent (cheapish) Batman statue.

HLJ and BBTS are sold out, but BBTS has him for $100.
As for all the talk on Select Venom, it's my favorite Venom as well, but him being smaller than Select Carnage killed that figure for me.

They're using a new body mold (I think) for the new Grim Reaper figure. I think that would be a pretty good fit for Venom.

First 4 Figures has announced they are working on a Dante statue. Teaser above.
Damnit, I'm having junior troubles. How do I post the picture itself onto GAF?
EDIT: Thanks Not The Droid Looking For You xD

Just got my Rocket & Groot pack from Sideshow. The shipper looks like it's seen some action. I hope the figures inside are ok. Anxious to get home and open it.
Reminder to Star Wars fans... you have a voice in which 6" figures will be made in the future. Get your votes in.
Protip: don't bother voting for Jango, Greivous or C-3PO those are all but confirmed as happening. Rex is also very likely but it's possible it's another clone such as Wolfe.

The winning character will be announced July 10th at Hasbro's SDCC panel

Err, I don't follow. Anyways, BBTS does have it in stock for $99.99, but I've seen it going for cheaper on eBay Buy It Now auctions. Keep in mind that it's not a statue but a posable figure. And while it does look great, it can be kinda finicky to pose sometimes.
PS. Love the Lying Cat avatar!

You can also get the 18" Arkham Origins suit now for the same price.

I want to like Hawkeye but the sculpt is still slightly off. Other than that, he's a great figure.
It has been a while since I posted and I have a couple of additions to my collection, plus a posh new cabinet for them all!
Thinking of putting the MC helmet away and displaying my Figuarts Star Wars figs.

Fuck Hawkeye and Widow are both out now? HT I need a break please.
Lol I think the simpler AoU figures will come out much sooner than they predicted.
Also somebody totaled the cost of the entire AoU line without quicksilver (so all 1/6 revealed figures, 1/4 Mark 43) and it comes out to 4,950.00 USD. Where Hulkbuster makes up 1/6 of that cost lol.

God that's disgusting. Thank God I don't have everything on order (missing two figures really makes the difference lol).
Hot toys Thor
Face feels like a massive let down
Looks like I'll be waiting for Thor 3 to finish my original Avengers set. I want Odinforce Thor with the sleeves
I have all of them on PO, I'm going to cut down my HT collecting after this line, no more full sets.
HT unvieled this today. I don't collect Terminators but you guys might like this.

The Dark World Thor (sleeved) is near faultless, so far the definitive Thor.

Well, my ThreeA Master Chief was marked as delivered today... and wasn't actually at the doorstep.
I put in claim with DHL, so hopefully that'll get resolved soon. Anyone have experience with this? Should I not even worry or am I out $250?

I respect the craftmanship with Hot Toys, but I can't get down with the ones based on live action characters or people. They got some uncanny valley shit that weirds me out a bit.
Not sure why it happens. I've half jokingly thought it was mail people wanting it to look like the thing got there on time and hoping no one noticed.
I've had stuff show up a day late, despite being marked as "delivered". Has happened to me with OnTrac also from Amazon. I had a blu-ray get marked as "delivered" and then come two days late.

Never had that happen with DHL but as mentioned above, OnTrac did shit like this all the time to the point where I asked Amazon to not use them for my deliveries. Surprisingly they've obliged!

These are my favorite types of Hot Toys. It's like having a little version of an actual person. My civilian Bruce Wayne and Steve Rogers are probably my favorites in my collection

That's what I love about them. Yes I love the Marvel characters in general but the way they are portrayed in the MCU are perfect and definitive for me. The actors really have made the characters their own. These movies will be classics forever in my eyes and having a piece of that on my shelf is awesome.

Thats the one I have. I really wanted the Light Armour one. But I really like the one I have.

It'll get fixed. The backlash will see to that.
They're definitely well made. Just something about them puts me off. Like that Arnold one posted above. I'd legit be worried he would start walking off my office desk as soon as I turned my back lol.
The eyes and cowl on Batman looks so awkward.

Not just any fabric either Batman has the fake leather material Mattel started using after the 89 Batman figure.
One of their few good ideas in years.
