Ugh, I just received my GoT The Hound figure, hoping that the breakage issues had been fixed, and the arm broke off shortly after taking it out of the packaging. How frustrating.

Just got my Tamashi Nations black n' gold Iron man today and god drat it's a gorgeous figure! The black is shiny and glossy and the gold is a lovely powdery color that looks just fantastic amongst the black. I picked out the eyes and chest with a little bit of clear red, so it looks like the armor's active, and totally ruined the resale value of the figure, but hell, I'ma keeping it anyway, might as well make it mine, right? Right.

Today at C2E2 I scored a McFarland MAXX with black Izz for $8, a New Frontier Martian Manhunter for $5, a DC Direct Hourman for $5 and the Matty Collector Metron for $25. I was pretty disgusted by the Captain America Legends prices. Nearly every dealer had the common ones at $30+, Winter Soldiers at $50 and I think the cheapest Black Widow I saw was $75, one dude had them at $100. I tried to get one dude to wiggle on the price, I said I'd buy Stealth Cap, Red Skull and Widow if he gave me a deal and he countered with a higher price. So gently caress that, I'll wait for her refresh cases to hit.

Vintersorg posted:Bought the D-Arts Megaman X yesterday and had a chance to open it up today. This is one of the poorer figures I own. First of all it's oily as gently caress for some reason?? Secondly, the joints on the arm are stiff as gently caress. Hard to pose and if you push too far the arm cannon / regular hand fall right off. What the hell, how is Megaman X $80 regular price now. When did the price spike? It was still $40 when I got mine a year ago.

Hmm, I'm in Chicago this weekend for the big antique toy show out in St. Charles. I might have to check out C2E2 tomorrow though.. What's the dealer room like? Lots of goodies? Or will it all be picked clean by now?

Those guys are total cunts, don't give them money.

I may check out that toy show tomorrow, that's pretty close for me.

Edit: it looks like it might be easier to take a cab. I deleted the email, but Uber has a special for free transportation for new users to or from the convention. The code might be on the C2E2 website. sleepingbuddha fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Apr 26, 2014 |

I picked one of these up at C2E2 yesterday and it doesn't seem to have any issues with breakage at all. I can't seem to get him to hold the second sword, though, the one with the round pommel. It won't fit in his hand, and the thumb is attached to the fingers. At least he can hold the one on his back just fine.

My little mascot series is almost complete. Just need to get that Mario that is coming out later this year. Received the Figma Link today and he's fantastic. Altho I stabbed finger the first time putting the sword handle thru the hand as I used a little too much force and it stabbed my finger, bled out a little but whatevs. I want to pose them all up when I get a chance and might need to get one of the D-Arts bases so I can float Megaman up. Right now it's a bit boring.

I really want that Samus but already have the cheesy SNES figure made by Joy Ride in 2003. Also have the Mario Sunshine figure sitting on Yoshi.

I saw the new Transformers 4 figures today at K-Mart. They looked pretty neat, but I'm not really a big transformers fan so I didn't pick any of 'em up.

For those of you who wanted Doomsday from DCU, welcome to SDCC hell. http://news.mattycollector.com/blog/2014/04/30/sdcc-reveals-start-right-now-motuc-dcu-today-more-on-56-513/ Also, gently caress Matty for deciding people would rather have the wrapped up Doomsday rather than the one that beat the poo poo out of Superman.

I think the wrapped up one is pretty cool. Also it's easy as hell to get Matty poo poo after SDCC, none of that crap but Monster High sells out anyway.

All the MOTU fans are pitching a fit about about the Filmation colours Hordak for SDCC. Nothing is liked about it, and its further cementing the reputation of Scott Neitschlish as the devil incarnate who is killing their childhood.

drat he has some tiny rear end hip joints. I'd prefer the one arm still tied up, which is how he beat the crap out of the justice league anyway

BBTS usually does a good selection of SDCC stuff but they mark it up pretty high. I'm gonna be orderring one on the day of, if you really need it I can just order an extra and ship it to you when it gets here. No clue how much the shipping to Australia would be thoug.
