I had to buy another Reeves 7" figure and bring it to work, it's too cool to pass up and they're still going for $65 on Amazon and my TRU still had a couple sitting on the shelf. The second release of the figure has a twisty tie around his waist which actually permanently put an indent on the figure itself. The gently caress, NECA? Still looking for those World of Nintendo figures..m : vv Do you need him still? I think my TRU still has one more Reeves, I can ship him your way.

No Reeve to be seen locally  I did find the new batman vs superman toys though. Iron Batman looks kinda cool. WW looks goofy as hell though. Didn't see Supes except in 12" format.

If anyone in their travels is checking out Walgreens for stuff and you come across a Funko Pop Green Goblin and Black Suit Spider-Man, I would be gladly send internet bucks for them.

I am new to collecting action figures and am still trying to figure out how things work. I saw that a new Marvel Legends line with Spider Gwen has come out recently or is about to come out. However, I can't find a source for her online that isn't eBay (asking $50 for the figure minus the BAF piece) or an order for the complete wave. Will she ever be available on Amazon or at Walmart for the normal price of a Legends figure?

She will, it just takes time for stores to stock.

Awesome, thanks. It has been shockingly difficult to find information on the figures. I couldn't even figure out if they'd been released in 2015 or 2016, because different websites were telling me both. Is there a good list/site that tracks figure release dates?

Aside from the recent Star Wars event figure releases are a lot muddier than other stuff you might be used to collecting. Toys, especially wide release toys like Marvel Legends, start showing up in different stores in different parts of the country at wildly different times. You just kind of have to keep your ear to the ground, check your stores regularly, or just order them online. But like, if a site like Big Bad Toy Store or Amazon lists a figure for pre-order, available in a month, or whatever, there's still always a chance you could just go to a Toys R Us and find them on the shelves.

I thought I posted this last night, but it looks like it didn't actually post, so here goes: Do they still manufacture older series of the World of Nintendo figures, or do they stop once the newest wave hits shelves? I still haven't even seen a loving Metroid in person, and I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and pay the $50 or however much they are on Amazon now.

Yeah the first wave I fully collected was the Ant-Man wave and that's just because all the figures at Target were $6 and they had multiple copies of almost everyone. I guess famous villain Tiger Shark wasn't quite as popular as they were hoping. Thanks for all the responses! I'll just learn to be more patient with figures than I have to be with movies.

Chances are they'll not make any more and $50 may be reasonable before they hit $100+ in a year or two. Current rumor is that they're cancelling the 6" line altogether.

gently caress. I saw a Metroid during Christmas but was busy shopping for others and not me. Went back as week later - gone. I need something to go with my Figma Samus.

Vintersorg posted:gently caress. This is 100% the reason why Metroids are so hard to find, because 90% of world of nintendo toys are cheap looking garbage that have no business sharing a shelf with Figma Samus and Link, but they'll do as props for superior toys. Figma Samus is incredibly popular and I think everyone wanted a Metroid for it. For the record I haven't been able to find one for my Figma Samus either.

I don't have any interest in their other figures, but drat it.

Well I suppose you need both. There's also the Jakku version that has the vest AND binoculars. Though you could probably get the extra pieces of ebay.

There's a deluxe version with some extra items and poo poo as well, but that ones through okaumode which is way less preorder friendly.

I wasn't gonna bite on the figure but I'm kicking myself for not pre-ordering Lucina, Pit and Dark-Pit when they were up long ago.

From what I gather EMS is like, 10 or 15 bucks for shipping and it's not on the slow boat. Worth it, IMO. Bonus points that you can combine orders. I have 3 different nendoroids on order for January as well that are held until all 3 can ship at once. No charge until he order is ready, and they invoice you to pay so it's not a surprise charge hitting your account.

You can get the DX version of Link on Goodsmile's official store. Besides resellers, thats the only way for us foreigners to get their deluxe or wonfes figures.Travis343 posted:Do you know if that bracelet is removable?
