Ah, but Kachidoki isn't, and it looks amazing from the preview. Seriously, wait for the re-release on Gaim, he is truly a well done figure, and since he's selling like hotcakes, I don't see why they wouldn't. and thanks Dre2Dee2, I was thinking the pic would go unremarked.

Shameless ebay plug, got most of my palisades muppets stuff listed everything starting auction at .99 so bid early and often. I've also got a few older legends figures up. (That deadpool I got from someone on here for not very much at all, and had no idea it would get to as much as it already has with said poster's "custom" work on it.) Please help me clear out my room. http://www.ebay.com/sch/bushifox/m.html?item=151334694363&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Shot in the dark here(Bushifox reminded me), but does anyone have any of Palisades Invader Zim figures they'd like to get rid of for a price that isn't asinine? I still need some Robo Parents and the Gir house. Don't give a poo poo about Gir. Also a new S1 Dib would be pretty cool. Old one's glasses snapped in half.

boom boom boom posted:Kamen Rider Gaim. It's about Japanese street dancing youths who turn into fruit themed superheroes to fight for territory. It's a serious, character-driven drama set in the last days before the earth is consumed by a forest from outside our universe. Believe me, you will be amazed at how actually watchable dancing fruit samurai is.

Noooo....whatever. But it's cool man. Like I said, shot in the dark. I never found that Gir at retail, and if I find it for cheap, anyone can call dibs on the actual figure. If they really want it.

Found the TMNT movie figures at Wal Mart today and they do NOT look good in person. Insanely small and just generally cheap-looking. Raphael looked the least-awful, so I picked him up to test the waters. He's... tolerable. He's not as rail-thin as the other figures and his costume is simple enough that the nearly non-existent paint apps don't look too bad. He also has the benefit of the least-obvious nose and plain white pupils. It really seems like these figures were sculpted with the intention of being much larger than they are. There's a ton of detail in some areas that just looks busy and confusing. There's also a section molded onto the back of his belt that's clearly supposed to be loops to store his weapons, but they're so tiny on the figure that they just wind up as sealed-off bumps in the plastic. I almost picked up a Shredder as well, since his sculpt is pretty good, but the paint-apps on his face are terrible and make him look like a cross-eyed weirdo whose face is caving in on itself. I initially assumed it was just a single bad figure, but every one I looked at had the same ridiculous look.

I have yet to stick my toe into the figma/figurarts/monsterarts (though those godzillas are really tempting me) but saw these two guys at toys r us for fairly reasonable prices: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=18456176 http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=18456106 I know nothing about either of these characters, but they look interesting enough I'm sure I could find a place for them somewhere. Would these be a fair representation of what I would expect from the companies?

No joke, the first news anyone heard about the show's production was Sunrise selling ad space on their costumes. And yeah, Figuarts are pretty much the perfect midpoint between sculpt quality, articulation (ye gods the articulation), and actually being semi-affordable.

I have a bunch of Figuarts too, mostly Power Rangers and Sailor Moon and they're all excellent. The MonsterArts figure for King Kong is beyond cool. I change his pose weekly. I'd probably buy Figuarts figures for stuff I don't know anything about, that's how nice they are. My only minor complaint is that the Rangers don't come with a stand.

The majority of my figures are Figuarts, they really have ruined my standards, to the point where I couldn't pick up any star wars black figures because they just weren't good enough. Also; I love me some Kamen Rider, so it's pretty much a no-brainer for me.

If you look around online Tamashii Stage Act.5s come in packs of three for around 10-15 dollars and are designed specifically for Figuarts and Super Robot Chogokins. And that's not even going into specialist/character specific stands, such as that Crater everyone fell in love with or the Obligatory Dramatic Flames. EDIT: Oh holy crap Square just got the Titanfall license for Japan.    And since it's not ThreeZero, there's a good chance this one will cost less than 450 dollars. 404GoonNotFound fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Jun 26, 2014 |

With regards to pricechat from a few pages ago, the skyrocketing prices of mass market stuff would be slightly easier to swallow if the quality had gone up from 10 years ago. But it's stagnated, and arguably gone down in some regards. They improved from the initial Hasbro ML releases, but that REALLY doesn't count. Toy Biz's latter day ML releases had some issues (giraffe neck Mr. Sinister, some crappy bodies), but they were definitely learning in some regards, at least.

I would unironically buy that Broly, I passed on one in a toy store when I was thirteen thinking it was damaged, not realizing that the arm was just attached by a peg inserted into the torso. Sure I'm 31 but he's still my favorite character from the franchise

Smooth Criminal was a pretty good music video so thats pretty great imo. lol look at the babby who's too young to have seen Dawn of the Dead. And that specific blank body was for sale. 2 years ago (its successor the archetype:next came out this year though).
