I know 20 bucks USD per figure is asking a lot in any circumstance, but considering that my local TRU charges 22.99 for some of the lovely Marvel Legends figures (such as the Hit Monkey series Wolverine who comes with no BAF pieces) I would gladly pay 20 online for the TMNT classics Rocksteady and Bebop.

Quick tip, if you google "1 usd to canadian dollar" it'll give you current exchange. This works for all monetary denominations. I've used this immensely when looking at importing stuff.

Fwoosh is great about Legends stuff, especially when the new waves hit the Philippines and when they first hit the US.

The retro TMNT 6" figures are some of the nicest I own. Easily up to the quality of expensive D-Arts / Figma / S.H.Figuarts Japanese imports, and they blow away 99% of the cheap crap on US shelves. I wish this kind of quality was more common. I'll be getting Bebop and Rocksteady for sure, and hope they continue with Shredder and Krang and April and whoever the hell else they want to.

therealjon_ posted:What they told me at Toy Fair when I asked that same question is they are testing the waters with Bebop and Rocksteady being super-articulated figures. If it does well they will look into more. Did they say if they would be available in other stores? Or are they just TRU like the 4 classic turtles were?

Everywhere I've looked likes like they are 30 +. Alternatively, does anyone have a set they don't want (loose is fine) (classics turtles)

Not sure if the same deal is still there.

Reinanigans posted:Really? Samus was the more expensive of the two, actually. I'm curious why you think she's not worth it. I mean, I agree $100 is too much, but is there anything wrong with the figure? I guessed people liked Samus more between the two. Samus is great and is one of my favorite figures I own. The articulation is great, she comes with a bunch of beams and hands and a morphball. I wouldn't pay $100 for it, but if you're really into Metroid, it's worth the $50 or whatever BBTS wants for the preorder. I think I paid about that to import it last year and I think it's great. It's the Samus figure I've been waiting 20 years to get and is infinitely better than the Joyride figure.

Chiming in to agree with the above, the Figma Samus is fantastic and one of my favourite figures too.

Too bad it wont be out for a while.

Forgive my ignorance, but how are the Revoltech figures, and how much do they usually retail for? I saw they are coming out with a movie-style Mark I Iron Man, and I've always had a soft spot for that armor (maybe because the helmet reminds me of the Rocketeer). http://marvelousnews.com/index.php?catid=252&itemid=16016 I have the 6" version of Hasbro's Mark I from the first Iron Man movie line (which is okay, but underarticulated, about a half-inch too short, and suffers from a tiny head), but are the Revoltechs in scale with Marvel Legends?

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Forgive my ignorance, but how are the Revoltech figures, and how much do they usually retail for? Retail for the Mark I is around 4500 yen. Revoltechs are usually a bit cheaper, but their Scifi line is an exception. Its a Japanese figure, so just assume its under 6 inches tall (Most revoltechs are). Personally, I'm not a fan of revoltechs anymore. They overuse their revol joints (I like clicky, but too much is too much) and the quality is just lacking compared to the other lines I own around that price range (Figuarts, Figma, 3A AP, etc).  Just to note, everything in red is their revol joint, which are basically tiny ratchet joints.

Hmm, I bought the Diamond Select Phantom of the Opera the other day, and while it is cool looking the package looks a bit more ratty than I realized in the store. Unfortunately that was the only one there, and I can't really find another one online anywhere. It's the Phantom from the same wave as the Invisible Man and Metaluna Mutant (with the mask on and the violin, not the piano). Can anyone find one online in case I decide to return this one? I seriously searched on Amazon and eBay and can't find it on Diamond's site either.
