That’s from the UK! Money Supermarket is an insurance/loans/energy provider comparison site. They’ve been doing weird ads forever.

This one they did has Action Man (the UK name for GI Joe):

Very happy about Cyber, super simple and to the point. Really liking the villain love in the Legends line as of late, there are lots of gaps to fill and we desperately need a new Blob, Avalanche and Toad.

No this was specifically Kamen Rider (50th anniversary), Ultraman (55th anniversary), Godzilla, and Marvel figures.

I like it, but I feel like the only reason I'd buy Cyber would be to recreate scenes from that run in Marvel Comics Presents, and no one is gonna make figures that look like Sam Keith versions.

Apparently the tail is 44cm long. I have a few collector moots in Japan on Twitter that are saying they don't think they will get it because they simply don't have any place to put it due to the tail length.

Just to get some sense of scale the biggest Ikea frame, the Ribba is 35 3/4cm long - that... that is loving nuts.

E: Wait, im wrong - they were showing inches. The biggest is 61 x 91 cm - STILL - that's pretty darn big. 17" is huge for a figure IMO

The official "this is actually happening" is when they post the promo gallery on their socials.

That's when the date estimate comes out and all the sites start taking preorders. It's like a year to 18 months ahead of release.

Right, it’s the actual release I’m wondering about. I preordered ITSV Miles Morales last year, which has a July-Oct 2021 release date. I’ve never preordered a HT figure before, so I’m wondering what kind of lead time I get.

Oh, you get nothing officially then.

Best bet is usually to check out a site like Sideshow Freaks and see when people start posting in-hand photos from the HK release in the discussion threads. Sideshow will be like 4-8 weeks after that. Let them do the work for you.

I'm normally a big Superman fan regardless of the variant they are, but holy poo poo that just screams 90s try hard edgy Superman. I don't have a DC Unlimited sub or whatever they call it, so I have no idea what his deal is, but drat, I kinda hope he's wiped from existence kinda quick.

I didn't even hate ant headed Superman as much as I dislike that dude.

I've got a feeling we're going to get buried in cool Ultra poo poo over the next year or so, especially if Shin does well and how could it not? Speaking of Figuarts Shin is going to be here in a few weeks supposedly. Regarding that Figuarts live stream, I'm still really stoked Leo's coming out, he's like my 3rd favorite UltraBro, and my most wanted figuarts dude other than Redking. Bandai's going to do redking one of these days right? How could they not? That would be like, I dunno, doing a sailor moon line without Queen Beryl, or a Lupin line without Goemon. Who would do something like that?

But really gotta have Redking. For Non ultraman fans, this translates as like a figuarts Batman line that was incredibly awesome and all encompassing which went out of it's way to make great figures for Clock King, Kite Man, Hugo Strange and golden age clayface, but made Riddler and Penguin P-bandai exclusives and then never made the joker at all. That''s kind of like the scenario. Although Baltan might be the Joker. Sorry I'm sleep deprived and ramble-y.

I'm going to get that repaint of Shinkocchou Kamen Rider Ichigo if it's not insanely overpriced, I had the original release and it broke. As did my heart... Might get the 55th anniversary ultraman depending on price and what mold they use.

Were there some kind of distribution issues with this figure? The McFarlane DC toys are huge and omnipresent here, but this dude didn't ship with the rest of the Death Metal wave. Even the department store displays are missing him and the build a figure pieces. I thought maybe he'd ship later but the Snyder JL figures got here this week and still no Metal Superman. Not sure if this is South East Asia issue or if he's hard to find elsewhere too.

Red King is a recurring villain but he's a fan favorite and is often depicted very sympathetically, up to Ultraman Z being shown to have been very much in the wrong to attack him. So I guess that would make Red King the Harley Quinn of Ultraman?
