And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

Retail actually, I was surprised. $225 US, free shipping.

I'm used to paying a bit of a premium from Hong Kong though. I'm impatient, and it takes even longer to get here in Canada than the US.

Hell of a score. I'm impatient as well, but I don't want to pay too much extra.

Side note; I should have Finn/Riot Trooper in my hands shortly.

I ordered it on the weekend and it arrived yesterday, so that's really quick too.

Looks like they vary. Their Finn is marked up $30, Phasma about $10, while the Snowtrooper is $5 below retail and Pepper Potts $40 below.


I think I got lucky with the timing. They have Rey up for $390 now. That figure must be popular.

Is anything about the Riot Trooper's outfit different? Or is it just the shield and baton?

I believe it's just the accessories. I haven't examined it side by side with my standard trooper.

I loved the Queen Facehugger toy as a kid because it would fit on my face. Also because its tail was a retractable grappling hook.

Full review - http://thefwoosh.com/2015/04/bandai-star-wars-r2-d2-and-r5-d4-112-scale-model-kit-review

Model Kit on the Left, Black Series Luke, Black Series R2 on the right



I would have this but I have the BS R2D2 and he's fine for me. I have model kit Vader and model kit 3PO. The model kits are fully articulated, well, as articulated as 3PO should be, they're perfectly in scale with the Black Series and they look amazing.

If there are negatives with the model kits, it's two things.
1. They're hollow plastic, so they're light as poo poo and feel cheap, but they can still be moved and posed without breaking. If you're posing and displaying they're fine, if you're getting them for a child to play with they will likely break.

2. They come with super small decal stickers for the detailing and those are a biiiiiiiiitch to apply accurately. I managed to get a few on 3PO and then just painted the rest of the detail with a small brush. Did the same thing with Vader's chest piece.

The 3PO Model kit is really good too. Here's a picture from my shelf of him (slightly elevated) standing next to Black Series figures. Note: that's BS R2D2.



As I said before though, he's probably the most difficult of the bunch to put together, based on my own experience and from what I've read from others who have done more of them. It's not bad but it required some patience and a little finagling with my sausage fingers to get it all right. But I'm next to positive the black series offering of 3PO won't have the shiny plastic that the model kit does.

Rickhor on ebay

That's the only one I've ever ordered from him, but it's solid and I'm overall pleased with it. Only downside is the product ships from Malaysia so it takes a while to get to the States.

He's got a lot of other cloth items for Legends and BS figures, but that particular cloak isn't available at this time. I would check back regularly though or message him on ebay because sometimes he's just temporarily out of stock of a particular cloak but restocks a week or so later.

Nice. I saw the light blue cape for Taskmaster and ordered it, plus a white one to see if it looks better on him even though the inner color wouldnt be right obviously.

They do indeed. Looks like SD's hands fit just fine.

The hands that came with Cap-Wolf fit perfectly. They look better that SD's I think.

Like, part of me wants someone to just go buy out all the stock at all the local stores so they have to get some new poo poo in

I don't know who will care, but I took some collection photos today after getting some new shelves and whatnot. I posted it on Reddit too, so some of you may see it there if you venture that way. Just wanted to share.

It's mostly Toynami Futurama, Marvel Legends, Star Wars Black Series, a few Mythic Legions photos, a little DC and etc.

I have a Deadpool and Rogue still on pre-order through Amazon that I was honestly saving for somebody that needed or wanted them (though I may keep Rogue because she's that cool), but I'm willing to give you my opened Deadpool if you're interested.

The caveat to this is that his left elbow joint is a little cracked (that I 'fixed' with a little gorilla glue), and his left forearm joint is stuck. I'm pretty sure you can loosen the joint up with a hairdryer, and the crack is very manageable, but if you want a Deadpool without spending $60, here's your chance.
