I've recently started to collect some of the Power Rangers Lighting Collection and plan to keep some of the figures in the box. I'd like to slab them but I can't seem to find anyone that sells the Plexi/Acrylic containers for them. Any ideas?

I finally found a Skeletor at my Walmart today, but there were no other MOTU figures yet. I also picked up a Masters of the WWE Universe The New Day figure. It was just too ridiculous to pass up.  I have to say I love how these feel in hand. They move around well and feel solid. I think I'm just used to adult action figures that can be more fragile and stiff.

Man-e-Faces was one of my favorite characters as a kid and The New Day are rad.

I mostly collect Transformers, both Hasbro and 3rd Party. My other big love is Lego, which is getting to be an expensive hobby, even more so than Transformers. I’ll also grab random figures from all sorts of lines. A couple of Star Wars Black Series, Marvel Legends (I’m partial to the MCU ones), the new Plasma Series Ghostbusters, some Doctor Who ones, and I’ve got the makings of a Miles Morales Spider-Verse collection on preorder. Both the Mafex and Hot Toys due over the next 18 months.

Joe Fisto posted:I just got my set of wave 1 Super 7 TMNT ultimates, and I am seriously impressed. I have only opened Splinter and Baxter so far and they are fantastic updates of the toys I had as a kid. Baxter is huge! I'm glad they included both a cloth and rubber tunic for Splinter, I prefer the rubber; it has more of that toy feeling and the cloth feels out of place. I got my GITD Baxter this week and yeah, he's super impressive. So much so that unless I find the Neca version in the wild, I'll probably opt for the Super 7 Metalhead.

I collect a lot of random stuff, it depends what catches my eye to be honest. I like ML symbiotes (really looking forward to the new Toxin coming out), I collect for certain characters (She-Hulk, Black Cat, Red Sonja). I've been getting a lot of the Mattel Jurassic World stuff because they've been totally knocking it out of the park, it's like the old 90s JP stuff but a million times better. 9-year-old me would have killed for this stuff. My only gripe is that the line needs more humans and vehicles for the dinos to eat and wreck. I buy a lot of NECA Predators, but I don't do duplicates of characters - everyone I've got is "unique". I also collect a bunch of transformers. I'm not really a completionist on anything I collect except for the characters I mentioned.

The main line I collect is Black Series, but I don’t buy every figure and lately I’ve been buying specifically with dioramas in mind. Like I bought the Snowspeeder, so I also grabbed two Hoth rebels and the Snowspeeder Luke to go with it and I printed a couple boxes and crates and stuck it all on a piece of textured white acrylic. It looks good, but I get bored with dios after a few months so I’m already thinking of what to do next. I’ve also got all the main line Kenner Star Wars figures from ‘77-‘83 (including some I bought from this thread) with all their accessories and a handful of the relatively rarer POTF line, plus a few creatures. I need to revise my display for them though, it was ad hoc at the time and I have the printer now to make something better. Aside from that I mostly just collect MCU MLs and whatever else catches my eye. I have a few of the Star Wars Figuarts but that’s a slippery slope I’m not prepared to fall down just yet. I’ve got Figmas and Mafexes of Indiana Jones, Bruce Lee, Lupin the 3rd, and Bowman’s 2001: A Space Odyssey suit but only Bowman is out on display right now. I had intended to collect those excellent BTAS figures but I only managed to grab Bullock, Grey Ghost, and Gordon before the line got scarce. I was trying hard to limit my plasma series collection to just Egon, but now I’ve got Winston and Venkman on the way.  Can’t find Ray in stock anywhere, weirdly enough.

Haven't posted my latest gets here:    After an eternity locked in a PO Box at the other side of the border, I finally got them in my hands and I think they were worth the wait. Thanos articulation is a little bit more limited than I expected, but it's still pretty good. Love the looks of the suit and masked heads on Cap Marvel, and she comes with a ton of cool accesories. Unmasked head looks a lot better on hand than in pics, but the actual expression on her face is too neutral for my taste, so I'll probably get some custom head later on.

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:I don't know if the Mafex Hush Batman cool, or if the Mafex Hush Batman's CAPE is cool. Both! It's probably the nicest figure I own. I stop short of giving it a 10/10 because the Mafex wrist and neck pegs terrify me to swap, it's a little fiddly to pose the torso, and his left ankle is looser than I would like...also, I prefer the black/gray to the blue/gray. But otherwise, an extraordinary figure top to bottom.

Main issue is that Wick is pretty slim, so he looks like a scrawny Bruce. Honestly would work better for a Dick Grayson body.

The chatter is that Target, Amazon and online retailers all get access as of January but nobody knows if the first two waves will be rereleased. Edit: I had a confirmed order for Man-E-Faces, Orko and Trap Jaw and just now randomly checked Scare Glow and he was available! So I got an order in and confirmed and when I clicked back to copy the link for this post it was already gone again. Rhyno fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Aug 8, 2020 |

I got a Sky Sled. My Walmart is slowly putting out new stock for their toy department reset. I'm going to have to return tomorrow morning. I just need a He-Man and a Battle Cat, and I'll be happy.

Basically the only thing holding me back from buying all the new MOTU figures is that I feel like it's a big step down from the 200x line, which is my favorite toy line ever, and I'm still bitter about how they mismanaged it and we never got half the characters we should have... I love MOTU just in general though, and sorting through my old 80s figures got me really nostalgic for those chunky old figures, and I'm really happy to see another He-Man line meant for actual store shelves and not just "collectors." I have some optimism that they've learned a few lessons since 2002 and might actually see all the good characters through to release. I wish they had put a little more detail into the sculpts though.
