Supposedly for June but it's dependent on if retailers actually order them.


The cases are selling out all over. Every time I hit TRU or Target there's a different lone survivor left on the pegs.

Yup, I have no doubt retailers will order them so I'm not worried.

I still have a spare Marvel NOW! Cap if anybody needs/wants it. I just bought it for the BAF piece, $15+shipping.

edit: Oh and if nobody has noticed this yet, here's the Black Widow "Coming Soon" link for HTS. I've been refreshing it every hour or so, but no clue when she'll go live.

I also have a Black Cat and Carnage that I impulse bought and regret. I'd let them go for $15 each, free shipping if both are purchased.

No I meant the figure in general. I somehow managed to be unaware of his existence until just now. Pretty sure I'm gonna pick up the rest of the line if now. I want that Mandroid.

Yeah its the stealth suit from the film, I think it replaces the Marvel NOW! Cap in that case wave.

A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.
Found a Toxin at Toys R Us today. I like the Carnage better, but Toxin turned out pretty well too.

I also picked up the DC Direct Arrow vs. Deathstroke 2-pack. I really love the show, and both figures look great.

They look good, except for the crotch thrust. I wonder if this is going to segue into figures from the new movie?

Whichever one can be done as a repaint of Carnage, I guess.

Does this thread really need to be remade? Only reason I could think of making a new one, is so the OP can have recommendations on online stores and maybe a quick rundown on the popular toy lines.

edit: actually that does sound like a good reason too. make the second post all about the figma superiority tia

Quick opinion question here.

After goofing around with my mom today about the various definitions of toy vs action figure vs doll, what's your breakdown of what gets called what?

To me, it works something like this :
If it's 50 bucks or less, it's a toy.
If it's 6" or smaller, and articulated, it's an action figure.
If it's 150 bucks or more, it's a collectible or a display.
It's never a doll.
Ever.
:colbert:


Unless it's literally a barbie, and then I don't understand why it's in my collection anyway so pfft.

My wife says they're dolls and she's actually right! The only reason they're called "action figures" was to differentiate the difference between boys and girls dolls, specifically GI Joes in the 60s.

If it's tiny and has no joints, it's a figurine.
If it's small and has joints, it's an action figure.
If it's big and has no joints, it's a statue.
If it has comb-able hair or cloth clothes and has no weapons or armor, it's a doll.

When this thread was made DCUC was still available in stores and standard 6" figures were still around $15.

What if it's big and and has joints? What about tiny and had joints? What if it has comb-able hair but has weapons and/or armor and joints? No joints? Please let us know more.

Okay, so these are action figures. Good to see Azone bringing back clothing accessory kits for action figures.

p.s. action figure is just the term for insecure boys. They're all actually dollies, so its totally okay to buy a dollhouse for your x-men.

Actually, screw it. All figures with cloth parts are dolls. Including Hot Toys and Joes.
Also, that's what Playmobil houses are for. :colbert:

It still blows my mind that when I started collecting Marvel Legends back in 2003 they were $5.99 a piece and loaded for bear with a base for the figure, accessories and a comic book.
