Forget Hot Toys or big Figuarts… what if I went really big and got these: https://www.sideshow.com/collectibl...tm_nooverride=1

I have Pink and think its really nice. They're very tall so the whole team will need a significant amount of space to pose and display.

ThreeZero do make some kick rear end robots though. That's where they shine.

This is exactly what my wallet didn't need to hear. I have just a single Hot Toy at the moment (Punisher War Machine) and was thinking of getting the ThreeZero Hulk Buster Iron Man as my other foot-tall robot man (even though they obviously won't be to scale with one another).

I saw that BBTS has the reissue Turtle Blimp in stock for 75 GODDAMN DOLLARS and out of curiosity I checked to see what it originally retailed for. To my surprise, it’s in stock on Walmart right now. I ordered one, 40 bucks with shipping. Will I actually get it? Who can say.

I think it might be a case of them buying Walmart stock then reselling. I haven't seen the blimp, but the party wagon was sitting around forever at my store before I finally bought it. $40 is decent for these vehicle rereleases, but $75 is not worth it.

Hell, I payed that much for origins Castle Grayskull and that set is amazing.

But yeah really good showing. I hope Rose can move around a little more than she looks though

Also pre-ordered wave 1 of Godzilla Ultimates through S7's website. Did the payment plan and it came out to 4 payments of about $47 every 2 weeks.

They kind of are actually. Rose is about Godzilla's height, only 5 meters taller, but they're almost never in the same shot directly so its hard to tell.

I'm not sure if she's the right dimensions but Rose is weird

The little mouth in the rose looks really doofy. Same with the closed mouth for Godzilla.

I'd like to see what the final ones look like. I'm assuming these are renders but they look slightly too shiny to me.

I kind of hate how they do videos, and these aren't the *final* products, but here are some of the physical prototypes for a better idea of how they look. I don't know why they don't take pictures of these instead of the renders, but you know

Another one with two heads… I don’t know if they’re going hog wild with deluxe releases or if they are upping their game for standard figures… I’d guess the former.

Yeah. I was really anticipating this reveal and it's not drawn me in at all. I think Rose Biolante is a great design but maybe not the best choice for the first action figure as it really draws attention to the lack of articulation for both Godzila and itself.

Also, I expected way more accessories. No power effects at all?!

I'm still going in because I have hope for further figures down the line, but yeah.

The lack of even Super X 2 for Goji is disheartening to me. And her statue-like nature is exactly why I wanted it to be final form, but I get it, Rose is more unique.

I do wonder what the other two figures in this wave were going to be.

Hot Toys announced its second figure from Eternals, Gilgamesh. It looks great, fantastic likeness. However; how many of these do they think they’ll sell? I can’t imagine people are clamoring for Eternals figures, especially ones that aren’t Ikaris or Cersi. It has to be just a contractual obligation, right?

Gilgamesh might be the one other one that would sell well but outside that...

Also minor update, Brian Flynn confirmed that Godzilla's tail will be fully articulated, which I was hoping they'd mention sooner than later. That puts me more at ease. Its such a minor thing I know but it feels weird to take a step back from what even NECA was offering in regards to tail articulation. It's such a huge part of the design, it needs to have a life of its own.

I checked Target again tonight and they had a big Neca haul-a-thon section with tons of TMNT stuff, a Wolfman figure, an Evil Dead Ash, a Back to the Future guy, and NO Demona. I don't know if she sold out really fast or just didn't show up / get put out yet, but the section didn't look super picked-over. They had a bunch of copies of every figure that was there, just no Demona. Mysterious. Again, I expect that figure to become very easy to find, eventually, but it's still disappointing. (Checked all the regular toy areas too, and the spot where Neca stuff usually goes... nothing interesting.)

I got Marvel Legends retro Spider-Armor Spidey and while he’s still in the packaging right now, he still looks glorious. That Spidey was the first figure I ever got from the Toybiz line for the animated series back in the 90s so I’ve always had a soft spot for the design, and the new ML version does not disappoint. He’s all shiny and he looks perfect.
