Why do companies keep trying to license franchises to Mega Bloks? Almost all their stuff looks like crap compared to Lego. And I don't even buy legos!

It was part of a display of things they'd built based off kid's drawings. It's not an actual set and they aren't going to sell it

Wait, so either they moulded all those different parts for something they're not going to make, or there are sets out there with that cockpit, solar panels, etc?

A gun isn't a gun unless it shoots Magic.
Mega Bloks actual bricks are not that great, but I have a soft spot for their mini figures, they're basically tiny action figures with a bunch of accessories.

Depends. Piccolo costed me $30, but Future Trunks was about $40. So these are probably ten to twenty less then the figuarats. They don't look bad, especially Beerus. It might be a good alternative, especially if it a character who out of print or one they not got around to making in the future.

Figuarts start around $40 and go up from there, so these are definitely aimed at more casual collectors/children. Kind of like Black Series vs Figuarts/Mafex.

That said, I would love to have that BAF Shenron, but no way am I collecting a whole wave of lovely looking figures for him.

Also, with the 89 different versions of Goku that Figuarts has put out, why is there still not one of his current gi from Super? It's basically his gi from the Cell/Buu saga, but with his kanji emblem on the front and back. It's my favorite of his looks and there still isn't a figure like that.

I really hope the Shenron figure is divided in such a way that if you get multiples of the middle piece you can make it infinitely long

Just scored all of them minus Colossus. The Cyclops arguably is not much better than the old toy biz one because the straps are not sculpted on and tend to come loose. The paint is also expectedly dull, but good enough for comic characters.

None of the Targets in my area got them yet, as they are still at 4 left in their inventory. Toys R Us should be getting them soon. Thankfully I think all my store has left is a lone Ice Man so they will get the new shipment barring a random reissue of the first wave like how the Absorbing Man wave kept getting sent out.

It's really time for a new thread though, if you go back to the beginning of this one it's like peering into a portal to bizarro world where Mattel has the best figure line out there and Marvel Legends are garbage

Saw the entire wave at my target but only really wanted cyclops and OML so I'm glad I got those. I have been able to preorder all the guardians 2 figures I wanted on Amazon so no looking too hard for those.

Seven years later and I still don't have that Beast. I wonder what happened to that massive Anti-Monitor from the giveaway on Page 2.

Two hooks, dowel, thread the dowel through the straps and then hang. Viola.

I will burn my dread.

Is the current X-Men wave hitting stores the one with Dark Phoenix? If it is, I'll be looking for one if anyone can pick up an extra. Most of the stores around me have so many excess figures from old waves rotting on shelves, I'm worried I wont' see the X-Men wave in person.

No, Dark Phoenix is in a two pack with a classic costume Cyclops, it was just revealed over the weekend. There's a Jim Lee costume Cyclops in this current wave but Dark Phoenix won't be out for a while still.

The Cyclops/Dark Phoenix 2-pack is a TRU exclusive so expect it to be pretty easy to get.
