Is Arkham Horror the one with like 20 different decks of cards that takes an hour just to set up?

I just found out they made Encouragement of Climb Nendoroids, and they came with the beast accessory, a rocky incline

My only problem with nendoroids is that they keep making nendos of stuff I'd rather have as a figma.

The chibi aesthetic is dumb as gently caress imo and the only Nendoroid where it ever worked was the Wind Waker Link but I'm generally against creepy otaku looking toys so what do I know (nothing).

99% of female Marvel Legends have blow up sex doll faces so don't think you're any less creepy than the rest of them, perverts.

I guess I haven’t seen enough sex dolls but I think the female marvel legends faces have been pretty good for quite a while now. They are similar enough that you can tell that the same sculptor is handling most of them, but I’m okay with that and it doesn’t feel as egregious as the flat-faced DC Universe Classics figures that were really obviously all done by the same sculptor.

The Jean from the Cyclops 2-pack didn't have the wide eyed blank stare, plus the vintage Widow. But that hasn't been eliminated universally yet. The new Psylocke still has it.

Marvel Legends has a big problem with emotionless, blank faces.  Goodsmile will usually try to give their figures some kind of personality. Even if it is just yelling

purple death ray posted:Whether you appreciate the anime aesthetic or not you've got to admit Nendoroids do a fantastic job of rendering it in 3 dimensions And packing awesome accessories and different facial expressions, etc. It takes the same concept of Pops (big head/small body) but it actually gives the characters expressions (multiple ones, often). I still only have the WW Link, Kirby, and soon the Pop Team Epic ones, but the arbitrary pseudo-racism of hating on Japanese poo poo solely for being associated with perverts in this thread has to stop. Batman and Darth Vader toys can hang out with Goku and Pikachu toys without making you into some kind of sex criminal. We're all adults posting about plastic effigies of fictional people on a dying forum. Not really the place to start casting stones (unless they're aimed at Pops because they look like poo poo)

Figma/Figuart price point also allows for swap out heads/faces for expression changes. Not so much for Marvel Legends. https://twitter.com/FakeEyes22/status/1011057864838991873

Something Awful is still extremely stuck in the early 2000s internet. People here still hate furries and anime and get surprisingly upset when they get told not to call people homophobic names.

Mainstream America doesn't know what furries are. If they do they're like "huh. Gross" meanwhile if furries are brought up on sa you will have ten goons Kramer into the thread to tell you how much they hate furries and usually how much they want to kill them

The only time anyone in this thread makes fun of anime figures it's when it's creepy poo poo like those figures of girls with handle bars on their asses.

Havoc904 posted:Super 7 just announced their Heman SDCC exclusive: It's my greatest toy collecting hope that Super 7 reissue Filmation He-Man. I really want to go all in on the filmmation line but can't get one online for less than $200 shipped and don't want to start the collection without him and Skeletor. After Matty changed their international shipping options a few years ago the price on MOTUC and DCUC went up to about $90 a figure in this neck of the woods and it killed most people collecting them out here. There were maybe a dozen dealers who had subs they'd then sell here and overnight it dropped down to only one shop would carry them. Fuzz posted:Anyone seen Silver Surfer or Thing in the wild yet? I also still need that Johnny Storm... The Surfer turned up in Singapore last week, we typically get hasbro stuff about six to eight weeks earlier than most. There's always a few exceptions every year though, the latest black series assortment with 4lom just turned up here Friday and I'd heard of people finding those at target for like two months now stateside. Speaking of black series, I picked up The Hero of the Battle of Hoth a few days ago and forgive me but I must gush about him  From the thumbnails I saw prior to release I wasn't sure but he's using the tarkin body, though the badge and pips are different and his armor/headgear are removable. I'm guessing this is the same cap that's going to be on Piett (who I'm told is pushed back to august) and sadly doesn't fit on Krennic. The helmet and armor fit perfectly, the holster fits and latches properly, they just did everything right on ol' Maximillian Veers here:  The face scan is great and even the rivets and such on the back of his helmet are painted nicely. For me, this is the second best figure Hasbro has made this year after Rex. Sooper Gila fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Jun 26, 2018 |

Neat, Hot Toys SDCC exclusive is gonna be an Iron Man repaint, but with that same paint stuff they are using for the new Black Panther figure. It's a black gloss coat, with neon blue lines on him. Looks like a Tron crossover. Kinda neat, but drat I know it's gonna cost an arm and a leg, and I'm still happy with just my autopsy suit. On the other hand, I just saw a pre order for a clothing set for Tony from Infinity War called something like a Nano Protect suit, so that's kinda cool. Might grab a RDJ head sculpt to show that off.

I’m really looking forward to this figure, and I’m not even a huge Imperial collector. It’s just a great looking figure, and it’s nice to finally get a BS release with more than one accessory again.
