Play Arts Predator figures

The variant version is too weird but the Jungle Hunter looks really nice.

I'm the opposite, I've got enough versions of the Jungle Hunter, and the variant is pretty unique.

Speaking of which, the Aliens Colonial Marines figures from Play Arts Kai are both pretty kickass.

I REALLY NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP FOREVER.
So I am obsessed with Guardians of the Galaxy. Are the figures that come with pieces of Groot worth getting? Are there other figures in particular that are worth purchasing?

Nova is the best in then line. Word is there will be a Gotg boxed set next year that will have better versions of each character.

A comic version of each.

I bought one of each figure for Groot and then sold on the Nova and Iron Man.

Drax, Groot and Starlord are great figures. Drax is probably the best of the line. Gamora is a little weak but has a suprisingly good sculpt. Rocket is p much just for if you want the whole team.

Saw the film last night, and yeah, now I want the team too. Hopefully the film's success will have shelves flooded with them when I get to the US in a few weeks.

Apparently this is the same response with the Hot Toys releases. The Star Lord Ex pre-order is already waitlisted and I would expect Rocket and Groot to follow soon.

I generally hate the Funko Pop things, but the Groot one is super adorable. I'm going to get it for my girlfriend and hope she doesn't want it so I can keep it on my desk.

Also, where is the best place to buy decent but not super expensive figures online from? I've just been using Amazon so far, but it'd be cool to see a wider variety of stuff. I got a great Cap and Dr. Doom from there. I'd really like to have a whole set of Avengers that look good for my desk at work. And is it just me or does every Spiderman figure look awful?

Nerd Rage Toys primarily deals in vintage figures, but they have been getting first run ML figures of late. They mark things up a little, but nowhere near ebay prices or anything like that. Big Bad Toy Store has a better selection, but a much heftier markup. If you're not picky about them being NIB, I have gotten some pretty good deals on opened, loose figures on ebay. Especially if it's a figure from a wave with a BAF piece.

I current;y have a Cosmic Marvel display with the new GotG line, the old Drax and Rocket, Nova and a couple Captain Marvel's. I've pushed the new Drax and Rocket to the back because the previous ones just look better.

Yeah, super deformed just makes Groot look cute.

The Groot one is a bobblehead too.

Can you take some pictures? Off the top of my head I would say that I think with a little sanding and glue it's probably fixable, unless it shattered into a bunch of pieces or something.

Have you tried soldering, sanding, graphing with human skin, splinting, blowing on, fusing and then melding with a blowtorch, in that order? If not, then shut up about your broken doll.

Wow the Galactus set sold quick, got one though. I know I promised Star-Lord to somebody on here but I'd really prefer to sell all (minus Gladiator) all at once if possible. PM/email me if interested.

Just picked up Jabba and the Marvel Universe set with the Infinity Gauntlet hulk hand, thanks for to everyone for updating the thread as those were the two big wants on my SDCC list.

If anyone finds an extra Rocket Raccoon marvel legends, he is the final figure I need to complete Groot. I will gladly trade or buy him from whomever.

Seriously dude, I'll offer you a few extra bucks for your trouble if you sell me just Starlord.

I hope I didn't come across that way, it's just that I've repaired a few joints and I was hoping to walk him through a solution if he's unsure how to fix it.

I bet you could get $30-$40 for Death alone on ebay. I'm not sure how much Gamora or Starfox would go for, but you would probably be able to recoop a decent amount of the money back.

Also, in mattycollector news, I got a hordak for Why Cookie, and then another extra if anyone needs it. 36 + shipping + whatever paypal fees. I also snagged an extra doomsday, 42 + shipping + whatever paypal fees.

I must have gotten in early enough. If you call them they can put together another order ... not sure if it's worth the hassle though. I've done it with other cancelled orders and was planning to do it with this one until they shipped it.

I just got off the phone with them. Evidently TRU in their infinite wisdom decided to not order enough of their figures for the preorders or stores. It doesn't sound like they are going to get any more in either. So I guess if you really, really want them better get on EBay before word gets around that these are going to be stupid sparse.
