Hmm, I might see if my local Target got any new Neca Godzilla figures. Last time I checked their selection was very small.

Was at one last week and they had the Atomic Blasts versions of Shin and GMK(?), along with a couple of different Predators, Gizmo, and Jason V. Was there today and and 1 Gizmo was left.

Aw man, Mafex Gwen is pretty much perfect. All I'd change is making her unmasked head not look quite so gormless, the masked ones have much better expressions.

I found at Krogers for 60 cents or so after the 70% on Halloween stuff this cool posable skeleton. A tad tall, but honestly it so cool that I might go pick up a few more.

My experience has been that they typically come out in waves -- a lot of times other people will get notifications before I do.

Thank god you can switch all the heads around  The original head was okay for the time, (here) but I'm much happier with the new stuff.  Liking this set more and more every day.

Speaking of head swaps, I was never the biggest fan of the “80s hairdo” head on the Star Wars 3.75” Black Series Mara Jade, so I swapped it out with the head from a Marvel Universe Black Widow and I’m a lot happier with it.

That original Mara head is so baffling that I honestly wonder if the sculptor accidentally used a Young Jedi Knights Tenel Ka cover as reference material. And speaking of 3.75” Star Wars, Walmart has clearanced their exclusive Black Series waves down to $2.50. There’s really great Ahsoka, Ackbar and General Lando figures in that wave that IIRC were originally TVC releases.

Maybe it’s a better in person thing. It’s not the greatest Campbell likeness but I feel it captures him more so than the other one.

I ordered the deluxe version with the throne (and shame on you if you didn't. SHAME!) and got my shipping notification today. Edit: SHAME! Although I'm sure you'll be able to pick up the throne and exclusive hilt later elsewhere... still. Blackchamber fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Nov 12, 2018 |

This week is way too expensive. Hot Toys Captain America (concept) is arriving today, Infinity War Thor is arriving Thursday and Palpatine w/throne ships Thursday. Goddamn.

I don't own any expensive figures aside from the Mondo Iron Giant. Seeing the Hot Toys Wasp from Ant-Man and the Wasp has made me consider getting into the expensive figure game. If I'm doing that though, I need a Chris Evans Cap. What's the best red, white, and blue suit Chris Evans Captain America figure? I really like the Concept Cap, especially that it has the WWII shield and the round shield, but I want the colors. The Hot Toys Civil War and Ultron figures look like the best bet and from the secondary market seem around the same price, but there are subtle differences like the helmet sliding on and magnets for the shield in the Ultron figure versus different heads with interchangeable mouth pieces and strap on shield. Are there any major pros or cons for or against either or does it really come down to costume preference? With the cost of the secondary market, and the fact that it looks like Cap is returning to the colors for Avengers 4, do you guys think it's worth just waiting to see what happens with that figure? How far in advance would we see them for pre-order (knowing that it might not ship until 2020)?

They’ve made like 8 Caps or more now so they’ve pretty much perfected it. It comes down to costume.
