Action Figure GAF |OT| Articulated figures murdered my wallet

King Arts is making some 1/9th scale Iron Man figures. They might be a little smaller than you want (~9 inches), but they're cheaper than Hot Toys. They run just under $200. Still a little pricey though.

Hmm King Arts one doesn't look bad. Might look into that.

I wish someone like NECA could do a good Iron Man. They have some incredible 18 inch figures and you can get them for under under $120. I pre-ordered the Arkham Knight Batman for just $99 on Big Bad.
 
Marty McFly 1/6th scale from Hot Toys:

Great packaging, amazing array of accessories. (not pictures is the "Save the Clock Tower!" newspaper and Marty's guitar with strap. THe likeness is spot on. It instantly became one of my favorite figures. I *need* a Doc Brown and Biff figure to go with it!
 
So ready for that Mark III. Still my favorite armor.

Managed to snag a Sideshow 1/6 Joker for $209 shipped and a Christopher Reeve Superman for $250 shipped. I think I'm caught up with what I want/am willing to pay for now.

Just saw this Hot Toys AoU family photo

Don't see Quicksilver yet, but look on the very left

Very cool indeed, we'll probably get a Nick Fury and maybe even Dr. Cho?

Updated :)

Ultron is bigger than I expected though I don't know why. Super hyped for Hulkbuster though, looks like quite possibly the best collectible HT will put out to this point.

Yeah for 390 USD he better be big, something like 16" tall, I think he's 8 ft in the movie.

HB is huge but I'm pretty sure the Tumbler is bigger. I have the original Dark Knight one, the box is as big as a 52" TV Screen heh.

I have a Fortress Maximus Transformer who is also 22" tall and the box is nowhere as big as the Tumblers.

Also there's still the 1/12 The Bat vehicle, I kind of wish they ended up making the 1/6 version, just for the sheer size and insane price it would have cost.

The 89 Batmobile is also incredibly massive as well.

I regret not buying the '89 Batmobile so much. That and Blade are the two grails in HT collecting for me.

I had it PO'd on BBTS for almost 2 years. Original price was 579.99 USD (exchange rate at the time wasn't bad either)

The shipping costs would have been 120 USD because it was almost 100 lbs and then duties on top of that, so I cancelled.

I might pick one up locally some day.
 
I got an email from Sideshow that my Mark VII Stealth is shipping early. Never seen that before. It had a link in it saying to click it to confirm shipping it early, but clicking it just takes me to my order information. Not sure what's supposed to happen.
 
I'm looking at selling some of my SH Figuarts. Keeping the Sailor Moon ones, but getting rid of a few Sentai and Kamen Rider ones, just am not feeling them anymore. :/

If anyone was planning on buying the NECA SDCC figures today at 6pm PT, I found the Terminator and Predator listed early and was able to order them. The listing was taken down, but the URL is still active.

Make sure you check out using paypal, as it's the important thing here. The Rambo also went up but I didn't want him so I don't have that URL sorry. Jason and mom never went up with these three so... oh well.

Toys Fairs exclusive is the HB Veronica Module, really surprised that this isn't an accessory with the actual HB. Garuntee this will cost like 129.99 or something lol.

I thought Veronica was confirmed to be an accessory? Fucking lame if she's not. And that Falcon cockpit will be shamefully preordered ASAP so I can flexpay.

Hope the Heroes of the Storm figures from NECA actually ship this month. They look pretty good.

I wish someone would come out with some high end figures for all of Blizzard's characters, though. Like 10 inches at least. I would spend a hell of a lot of money on that line. Especially ones from WoW.

Funko makes World of Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft figures :)
 
Is it just me, or is that han sculpt looking really good in that latest falcon cockpit pic? I didn't think their revised one looked that good, but that one caught my eye. Luke and obi-wan look great, too

Edit: I got them mixed up. That's the original sculpt apparently

Haha, true. I actually have the Arthas, Thrall and Raynor ones, but I would Love big figures made to look more like their in-game models / concept art. Like Play Arts Kai type shit. Or even 6-7 inch revoltech type stuff.

DC made some WoW ones that were nice looking, but I think they were more just statues as opposed to articulated figures. Hopefully these NECA ones are alright.

NECA's Pacific Rim figures have been pretty awesome; I'm looking forward to seeing how articulated these are before I get too excited though. Picking up an Arthas for sure no matter what.

Have you checked out the DC Unlimited World of Warcraft: Series? They have several characters out, some are so so, some are decent.

Here's few to get you started.

Yeah same. I ordered the Illidan one since it's only like $24 on Big Bad just to see. Gonna get as many as I can if it turns out decent. I love pretty much every character design Blizzard does.
