Hot Toys popped up some pics of the Daredevil 1/6th figure on facebook. Unfortunately it doesn't have the broken helmet, but he does come with a different head and a few cane/stick combos, as well as a pretty cool looking base.

ThreeA is pushing out a 1/6th scale Dredd. It's comic based so it'll fit in well with Action Cop or whatever that knock off place called their Urban Dredd but this one is actually licensed.
Pre-orders open on the 29th and tend to move fast w/ThreeA

That looks cool. I never read a ton of Judge Dredd comics, but I always loved the character design. I have an old 6" ReAction figure of Judge Dredd, and looking at this makes me want to elaborately repaint it.

I still can't believe no store locally or even Amazon has the Abomination wave yet. All the stores near me have either too many of the Red Onslaught wave to ever get them or they had the Giant Man Wave, but still not replaced them. Krogers near my house has only three Captain America left from that wave, but it been about two weeks and haven't been replaced with the Abomination wave figures. It so annoying since I want that Scarlet Witch figure, but afraid this will be like IG88 or Hux (who I never did get) again with Star Wars...bad timing between waves and just flat never seen in stores.

I could order the case, but I already have the Dr Strange wave pre-order and they should be shipping anytime from Amazon. That and the Rogue One figures being available as well.

Yeah that the case here too. There are some waves where it just down to a single figure left of the wave, like poor Hellcat, Misty Knight, Wasp, and Boomerang at most stores. The Toys R Us I work at had Boomerang for about two years before I finally bought him, which doing that seem to trigger ordering a new shipment, since a few days later the Space Venom wave appeared.

Pretty sure I do, the downside is I'm out of town for a tech conference all week. PM me to remind me and I can check on Friday.

Wouldn't mind getting rid of the whole figure either if you want, either. Not really feeling Marvel Legends from that era anymore.

I don't have PM. Do you have an email I could reach you at?

I've been trying to buy less toys lately, but I always have to pick up the horror stuff. Today I got in NECA's Freddy from Wes Craven's New Nightmare. It's not too bad looking from a distance.



But once you get up close...



Apparently they all have wonky eyes, and also one leg is way longer than the other. The devil head isn't too bad, but it looks like Freddy's wearing a Halloween mask. If I had any skill with customizing I'm sure I could fix the eye.

I also got Nova. I was really impressed with the figure, aside from getting her to properly hold her gun was kind of a pain in the rear end.

In other news, I had a lovely figure-opening last night. Opened up the SHF Leonardo and his bandanna peg snapped off as I was removing it from the head. Then the Mastersword handle peg broke off when I first opened up the Link Between Worlds figma. Not sure what to do aside from try to glue them back in place. :(

If your Leonardo is a BlueFin distributed one you could try contacting them. For the Link Fgima contact whoever sold it if it was an actual company rather than just some dude on eBay, I guess.

I'll do that. Leo came from BBTS, and I don't remember where the Link Figma came from but I'll look back through my email. I wasn't sure if they would just tell me to contact the manufacturer, and since both are foreign companies I was worried it might end up being a nightmare and never go anywhere. I have a ton of SHF and Figma figures, and this is the first time any of the pegs have broken on me like that.

They are well made, have excellent sculpts, fairly good paint apps and great accessories. But they're kind of tiny so they don't scale with Classics or Legends at all.

Some of them look pretty good but IMO theyve got really weird knee joints and the scale makes them all but useless to me. I haven't picked any of them up yet.

The hip joints are not great either.

e: And the Superman came out really bad, which also makes it really hard to get into as a DCUC replacement.

There's a decent chance a BBTS turtle Figuarts came via BlueFin, so I'd contact them. Could contact BBTS themselves also, since they tend to have good customer support from what I remember. I had to swap out an entire assembly from the original Masterpiece Starscream because the lovely plastic they used caused it to stress fracture with even the greatest of care being used. Hopefully you got your Link via somewhere similarly good in their customer service. Nothing is quite as fun as a nice, $50+ toy breaking right out of the box. I've heard GoodSmile, the Figma company, is somewhat good even with international customers support too if the seller can't come through for you.

I was looking at Barns and Nobles today and found the Future Trunks figuarat there. A bit on the short size compare to Marvel Legends (as mentioned by Reinanigans), but he does seem to be the same size of a teenager character like Jubilee. Then again, he wasn't very tall on the show compared to his dad. I just put Ghost Rider in the picture since I am very happy with the recent figure after I got him and finding the old Vengeance motorcycle for two dollars.

Trunks is 6" scale with respect to other Figuarts pre-hyperbolic time chamber. Taller than Vegeta but shorter than Goku.

There is a newer super Trunks, post-HTC too who is in Saiyan armor and is taller.

I read this just before I opened my first ever figma which made me terrified the whole time. Luckily everything was fine.
