Yeah, I've been seeing the price of even the black recolor of Batgirl start to rise in price, so I decided to grab her while I could still find her at a decent price. Free shipping since it was $160 for all 3 too.

Thanks. Just placed order on the last 2 remaining they had.
Now it goes to empty cart if you try to add to basket.

 

[Dabookerman]

This figure is excruciatingly tempting..

 

[NintendoGal]

Or just take a blow dryer to Link's hand to loosen it up a bit. Put the sword in and let the hand cool down.

I used boiling water and kept dipping until I was able to pull it off.

Hey whats cooler Hot Toys 89 Batman or The Dark Knight Rises one. I eventually want to get one Keaton Batman and one Bale one but I can't decide if I should jump on the 89 one or wait for a Batman Returns one down the road

I skipped on 89 for Returns,
like the Returns suit so much more.
considering 89 only needs small modifications, id say its a certainty it will me made soon.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Also obligatory "what the fuck 3A" since I don't think it's been mentioned in 3 pages or so.

Actually, I just mentioned it several posts above yours =p

But yeah, it's driving me crazy. If we don't get an answer by the end of next week I think I'll go mad. It's been half a year since the original date!

 

[EYEL1NER]

So did anyone preorder that Hot Toys Black Widow? That thing looks amazing. I hope someone did, so we can see some pics in here. I want to see it next to a helmet-less Iron Man.


It makes me feel like a creeper to want a miniature ScarJo in my room, but it looks great.
I won't be getting it though, since I have made up my mind on what figure/doll like that I will get. Whenever I decide to take the plunge and get an expensive, hyper-realistic figure ala the Hot Toys or Enterbay lines, my first (and probably only, due to the prices most go for) will be the Legend of the First: Return of Chen Zhen Donnie Yen figure. That thing is godly and I must have it one of these days.
Just watched the movie recently too and it wasn't bad. Not as good as most Yen movies, but the negative hype led me to believe it would be worse.

I canceled mine for now. I'll probably put an order back in later on next month.

Yeah, I kind of wished I waited for BR to come out but having 89 Bats/Joker as a pair is too tempting.

Pretty happy with all of the Batman sets I have so far for the most part minus the Toys Fair Bruce Wayne which has messy ankles and can't really stand on his own properly.

 

[Whooter]

Superman's looking pretty happy, himself...

Hot Toys pickups from the past month. My Avengers are partially assembled so far, everything has been delayed to hell so could be a while before we get Agent Coulson or Chautari as the last Avengers toys no?

 

[Dabookerman]

Bloody hell!

I've pre-ordered the Alter Panty since it's been rereleased.

I also couldn't resist to order this one..

 

[SUPARSTARX]

ALright now I don't feel too bad about having so much 1/6 stuff. HAHA

Show me the Iron Monger pics. *Jizz*

I need a Jim Gordon kit bash.

 

[BadWolf]

Is anyone getting the Play Arts Raiden figure for MGR: Revengeannce? Is this company's stuff usually good?

Any trustworthy Canadian stores selling it? Or maybe US stores that ship to Canada?

 

[NEO0MJ]

I sooo want to see that Iron Monger. I was this close to buying him, but felt that wth shipping he would be too expensive for me.

I will later on today. It's fucking huge and it's gorgeous.

Play Arts ranges from 'Okay' to terrible.

 

[ohhthegore]

I got the Play Arts Harley Quinn and I think shes kinda cool, I only paid $35 for her though

you posted the worst ones, Final Fantasy, DMC, and Metal Gear have been some of the best figures ever.
Though the RE5 ones are the actual worst(god awful actually).

I'm looking to buy an anime figure, is there a website i can browse?

Nice selection of photos there.

Play Arts has a few duds, but they also have some really outstanding figures. Besides, any photo with terrible lighting, posing, or unflattering close-ups can make a figure look awful, even Hot Toys stuff.

 

[BadWolf]

Seems hit or miss, guess I'll wait for some reviews.

Thanks guys.

YES! I was going to post undead Shepard but you got me covered! I want to find a small helmet to put over his face. I forgot about the Tomb Raider Collector's Edition coming with a figure, I thought it was a Figma so I was about to put an order in, but then I realized it's Play Arts Kai. Noooooooo thank you, I'll stick with the standard ed.

 

[Deified Data]

lol, rule of thumb for Play Arts seems to be Japanese franchise = good, Western franchise = terrible. I saw a pretty decent Garrus once, though.

Mine's still on preorder with Sideshow so the delay doesn't really bother me as I'll easily have money for her. The Mark VII is the one I'm kinda worried about regarding shipping, since it's my first IM figure but a delay can only help anyways lol.

I have Coulson on order through my LCS so I'll grab him when I can.

ATM Lara is looking great, just have to see how the final paintjob turns out.

and for people needing to know what to avoid

Really bad Play Arts

Worst Play Art

but I guess you could thank them for actually including a zombie in the line for Chris to fight.

 

[Setsuna]

in the 5 minutes i have been searching those websites i have realized this is a very dangerous hobby to get into

good thing i have 2 closets in my room

 

[Auron_Kale]

Also regarding the Play-Arts figures I find is that faces are often hit or miss...

My only Kai ones are Roy Mustang & Alphonse Elric from FMA: Brotherhood - and Roy's face is spot on with the anime/manga but it helps that he has simple features. I think both also benefit from being SE property anyways.

I have regular Play-Arts for Gabrath & Balthier for FFXII, Cloud for FFVII: AC & CC, couple of Soras & a Roxas - all of them have good faces as well.

Guess if it's a non-SE property, they tend to have more trouble with them though Vanquish & MGS turned out pretty great.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Still pissed at the dozens of Clouds,Soras and other KH & FF figures but they have never made a single Leon version of Squall.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Same... I'm amused that I technically still need a Wisdom form Sora, but have all the other variants lol (including regular). Also wish they made more Dissida figures as I want Kain. The dragoon armor is so dope looking.

 

[ohhthegore]

Dude...

I got that thing from Toys R Us lol

 

[BattleMonkey]

I haven't like any play arts figs. Even when they look ok, they are ruined by awful joints

 

[Auron_Kale]

I basically pose mine once and leave them alone afterwards. Makes it easier on me I guess to like them.

 

[ohhthegore]

I'm really hoping the Play Arts Catwoman turns out decent

 

[C-Jo]

I think the Play-Arts Ezio is fantastic. Joints aside, the level of detail is great.

The MGR Raiden will probably be pretty good. The more mechanical/robotic the subject matter, the less things like joints will stand out. Case in point, Adam Jensen's robot arms look totally fine.

 

[Data West]

Play Arts are like Marvel Selects with more accessories, and they cost about triple

 

[ColonelSkills]

OK, so 3A is now saying that the Rex figure will ship sometime in January...

Also the Play Arts Vanquish set is pretty good. Sam is pretty solid.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Do you like posable figures to begin with? If not, then it's a moot point. Most of the time visible joints are simply unavoidable. Even the spectacular Figma Link has some ugly elbow joints and skinny ankles. I love frequently changing to the poses on my figures so having a high level of articulation is important to me.

This is kinda why I think this thread should be split into separate statue and action figure threads. It would be like if people that only collected statues started mingling with 3 3/4" action figure collectors. Different groups value different things in their collectibles.

Agreed on both counts.

I've pre-ordered the Alter Panty since it's been rereleased.

I also couldn't resist to order this one..

[johnsmith]

Just ordered the Yu, Chie, and Rise graphigs. Yukiko and Yosuke were sold out. I hope they come back in stock once they're actually released.

Also ordered the DQ1 hero, even though he's my least favorite of the first 3 games, but for 600 yen why not.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

If there's one thing I've learned from the Play Arts Kai stuff.. their paint quality is inconsistent for sure. Bad quality control issues.

 

[Sushigod7]

Holy shit at those Play Arts, I hope to god Raiden turns out like the prototypes. At least half of his face is covered so they can't botch the paint on it. Here's to hoping! Well see in a few months.
