drat, I kinda wanna pre-order the Mal but dammit QMX royally hosed up the firefly pistol replica they did. Talking crooked barrels, bad paint, etc. Also, wtf? 25$ for BTAS figures? Unless they are legends size or bigger, that's way too much cash.

Anyone got experience with the figuarts toys? My red ranger has a loose arm and I don't really want to break it trying to pop it out. Also like the revoltech ones can you pull heads and arms off to mix and match figures? As I'm eyeing up a figuarts toy in a suit so I can have well dressed power rangers.

On the one hand, I'd say it's worth it just for BTAS figures with actual goddamn articulation after all these years. But on the other hand, 3/5ths of them are the inferior TNBA designs for no good reason, especially Mr. Freeze who was just damned flawless in his original art deco mad science look.

Relax, they're releasing both versions of some characters. I would imagine those who had exhaustive redesigns like Freeze (unlike Two Face) are most likely to get that treatment. Also, I mostly prefer TNBA designs.

Don't pop it out, get yourself some thin acrylic liquid (like acrylic medium or pledge with future) and drip some in there with a toothpick or small paint brush, then work the joint around until it's nice and stiff. The heads are removable, but the arms aren't, so you can have well dressed Power Rangers if you like.

So who else is interested in the TRU exclusive X-men Jubilee wave? I only want Jubilee, Magneto an Stryfe and want to sell the rest. Since it's TRU only they'll probably be a pain in the rear end to find.

Yeah, TNBA Mr.Freeze is totally inferior to the original design. The rest I don't care for much and they sorta work but they made him all loving evil and it doesn't gel with me. I hope they put out a proper figure for him as he's my favorite character in the series. That voice~

Speaking of that voice: if they made some kind of diorama setpiece of the end of "Heart of Ice" and it played the sound clip, it would be my toy nerd capstone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9cuFUmB3Do&t=813s

It's pretty hard for me to believe that in the space year 2014 they can't just let us pre-pay, then produce to fit the order (with some overage contingency for latecomers/retail). I usually assume manufacturers and retails have valid reasons for the stuff that appears (on the surface) to be crazy, but I can't figure out how it isn't win-win. Manufacturers get the money up front, no one is clearancing tons of unwanted goods, consumers are guaranteed to get what they want. They can even do all this through the TRU site (with store pickup) so the retailer gets a piece.

Not really. I have heard rumors of heat guns and cold water baths afterwards, but haven't seen any pics personally of it. I think if you hit up QMX and show em some pics and go "Seriously, wtf?" you might get a new one. Worth an email at least.

drat. Like I said, I've heard rumors of people using a heat gun to straighten it and then popping it in cold water to set it, but that's probably gonna gently caress the paintjob up at the very least.

So, I've been watching the T.V. show hoarders lately...and it has inspired me to start thinning out some of my stuff. I offered these up a while back and had intended to list them on ebay but never got around to it. So, I'll try to get rid of some more stuff, starting back with these palisades muppets figures. All are loose and I believe complete, will double check and can send pictures of anything. Miss Piggy Dr. Teeth Bunsen Honeydew(glasses are broken but they are included) Fozzie Bear Stuntman Gonzo Crazy Harry Sam Arrow Rizzo Link Hogthrob Julius Strangepork Pepe Janice (missing hat) Clifford (peg on base is broken) Patrol Bear Fozzie (peg on base is missing) Frog Scout Robin Beauregard Usher Scooter Sam Eagle Phil Van Neuter Marvin Suggs (colorful shirt) Variants and Exclusives Glamour Miss Piggy Rizzo variant - Johnny Fiama (silver jacket) Johnny FIama (brown jacket) Marvin Suggs (silver and black outfit) Super Hero Scooter Vacation Fozzie (red shirt) Playsets Swine Trek Muppet Labs Bushifox fucked around with this message at 22:23 on May 18, 2014 |

Caved and bought a ML Black Widow off eBay for $30 shipped buy-it-now. The way I see it, $30 right to my door is better than burning a lot of time and gas looking for it for $20 at retail. There's a surprising amount on eBay for $30-35, too.

This seems like a good place to ask this: What character is this? I've had it since I was 7 and I have no idea. I know it's a spider-man thing but I couldn't find anything else when searching.
