The are such shills for Mattel over at Fwoosh. Look at these awesome pictures of DCUC 19, no problems here at all ... don't forget to subscribe! I guess I would be doing the same if I got everything Mattel made for free the past 5 years.

It's not so much her smile is like a vast creepy chasm of scarlet and ivory, her clearly visable rickity joints, her lifeless psychotic lazy couger eyes that look to steal the soul of the next man she encounters, or even her seaworthy Iowa Class chin that bothers me. It's the fact she looks so much like my aunt it's uncanny, I'm half-tempted to buy it just to see what would happen if I stuck a bunch of pins in the figure. It just amazes me they can do so well with MOTUC or Voltron and then screw up their most established line(well ok MOTU is around 30 years old but only 5 different toylines and two(arguibly 3) of them Mattel ruined/is ruining for themselves). I mean c'mon Figmas and Revoltechs look way more accurate than what they've shown for DCUC and those figures usualy run around the same price you're charging for your inferior figures. *edit* Someone tell me I'm not seeing things, on the back of Stargirl's package it looks like her headsculpt is entirely different than her current creepy one.  I'm noticing that specificly the hair looks like a different mold all together Vaerai Archon fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Aug 19, 2011 |

I haven't bought a figure in many, many years (I have enough expensive habits as is), but my LCBS had a raffle recently, which I won without even being aware I was participating. Came for my comics, left with this. Bastard won't stop staring at me. Edit: Sadly, that is the best picture I am technologically capable of taking.

Vaerai Archon posted:*edit* I think it's the same mold, it's just not painted like poo poo. The hair isn't even painted on the final figure, it's just a big solid piece of yellow plastic.

Anyone bought the Iron Man Revoltech figure? Was wondering if it was worth the $50 to buy imported. :/

Revoltech vs. Marvel Select is the best I can do. Oh, and a tape measure in the back. EDIT: And    Ok, so maybe it is worth $50... Nilryna fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Aug 21, 2011 |

So a little smaller but still fudgeable. That is honestly my biggest complaint over all the Iron Man figures put out by Hasbro is the limited articulation. They look great and have good sculpts but I can't really get them to look "fluid" a lot of the time. Guess I know where some of my next paycheck is going. Still need to get a Professor Layton and a Duke Togo still too.

Today I got some bad and good toy news. My buddy who was going to be getting two of the Bizarro vs Faker packs told me today that TRU hosed up his address and UPS is returning them to TRU as undeliverable. He'll get refunded, but there's no way to get the correct address put on the package and the figures turned around again (UPS requires the sender to make address changes during delivery, and TRU has a policy against doing that because it costs a few bucks), meaning we'll have to either wait for them to restock (fat chance) or track them down for rape prices. So that's pretty goddam infuriating. On the flip side, I contacted HobbyLink Japan about the broken Revoltech Iron Man and they're going to send me a replacement for free, which is amazingly awesome considering the Mark IV is a Figure Oh! magazine exclusive and about $15 more than the Mark VI. They even told me to keep the broken one, rather than return it. Color me impressed.

So it seems Mattel is exploring the idea of raising prices for single figures for people who don't have subscriptions. Meaning you're going to wind up paying more for the same product you've allready been buying with no added changes or benefit. http://he-man.org/news_article.php?id=2092

As far as I can tell, this is only (currently) applicable to DCUC. It seems perfectly reasonable to me. The three options are: 1) Pay a subscription, get each figure for less, but be locked in to buy some figures you may not want. (More expensive overall, no risk of missing anything, decent chance of unwanted figures.) 2) Buy a la carte, pay more for each figure, but get only the figures you want. (Less expensive overall, some risk of missing figures due to mattycollector nonsense, no risk of figures you don't want.) 3) Series canceled, buy nothing whether you like it or not. (Costs nothing, zero risk of unwanted figures, zero figures to choose from. The Internet wins!)

Vintersorg posted:Better shot of Batman, apparently March 2012, get your pennies saved now! THAT, however, I'll stump up for because, even though the film isn't all that, I love the hell out of Keaton's Batman and that representation looks glorious. The only problem is I just know they'll do a Returns suit one next year, won't they? drat.

Was there much of a difference between them? I think the chest changed a bit. These are a great investment tho, you won't regret it. They are using the DX series of heads, where the eyes move based on how you tilt the head. Adds so much more realism. Also know Hot Toys never re-issues these, so once they are gone, that is pretty much it. Rarely will they do it, I personally have only seen the Predator stuff and that might be a rare time as it was based on another license (Predator 1 vs Predators). I got really excited seeing that some of the bits clip to the belt.  Also, my Joker is always going to be in this pose, "Come on, you gruesome son of a bitch!!!!"

I think the Joker looks even better. Some more shots over here. But as much as I like classic Batman, they're both out of my budget since I'm waiting on their classic Predator.

Yeah, use some place that has a layaway or other sort of payment plan, like Sideshow's FlexPlay, which has either of them for $80 a month for three months. It's a bit easier to swallow $260 if you don't have to pay it all at once. I've actually had to hold off getting any Hot Toys for a long time due to finances, but I think I'll have to bite the bullet for that Joker, he's just amazing. Unrelated topic: for anybody with a Marvel Legends Mojo, is there any way to remove the two halves of his mechanical chassis? I've been sorting through my old figures and two of the crab legs on one side have snapped and the chassis pieces seem pretty cheap to buy on their own, but I need to figure out if I can even separate them so I only buy one or if I should just get both sides.

Is anyone still collecting JLU? The Golden Age Green Lantern/Flash/Hawkman and Animal Man/Adam Strange/Starman 3-packs will be on Mattycollector on September 15th, and then the final 7-pack with Dr. Mid-Nite, Crimson Avenger, Johnny Thunder, Thunderbolt, Gypsy, Speedy, and Creeper will be available in November. My question is about display cases, particularly for JLU. Obviously they don't stand very well, and the expensive stands they briefly sold on Matty were worthless. My dream display case would be wall-mounted, with individual compartments for each figure and an acrylic or glass front that is hinged or slides off. Does anyone own anything like that, or know where I could get such a thing? I've seen an almost-perfect case like that, meant to hold 24 Star Wars figures, but the JLU figures' shoulders are too wide to fit in those compartments.

I bought a spare Generations Wheeljack for a friend and a MU Deadpool/Taskmaster pack. Now it's just sitting there unopened (my friend got the Wheeljack). If anyone wants it, it's yours for $28 shipping included (hopefully you're in the UK or US/Canada, makes no difference really)
