There may be a size/weight limitation? Is it a huge order?

A nendo, an Eva Tamagochi and a Spy X Family keychain. Way smaller than something like the Cloud/Jessie/Bike and only a little bigger than another nendo that dhl did fine. I guess its a chance to find out how well EMS works for stuff that's not that important to me if it gets lost.

drat, sideshow might be cheaper than onesixth. They are banking a lot on nostalgia to open the wallet though. Those are pricey as hell for a single figure with an accessory and base.

I've been forced to use DHL for single figmas before so it's definitely not that.

EMS to the States is fine though.

I hope this is a temporary thing because DHL has been so wonderful for shipping from Japan, but definitely let us know what service you go with and how it goes. Fingers crossed for you.

I did EMS because it was the best option available. I'm not expecting the magic DHL experience but I'll report how it goes.

I see some people already noted it in the Twitter comments, but that would also be a much better base body for Silvermane than the repainted Ultron body they used, even if you have to paint over/paint strip the fleshy shoulder bits.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

It has one. It attaches to the base though, instead of an effect from Booster’s back.

I haven't owned 44, but for me theres no way 01 is a better toy than 10.

I can see it, it depends on if you have it in hand or not.

10 is inarguably better as like, an actual toy you can gently caress around with, but MP-01 is a goddamn event of a thing, that's also very bad at its actual job

The loving *wrist and ankle* pistons get me every time. It's more like a high end movable statue with supreme attention to detail and masterful aesthetics and hand feel that happens to be able to turn inside out into the world's shittest truck

I quit reading blue beetle around the time he got shot in the head, but didn't he used to use a big flash gun and not a grapple gun? I don't recall him really swinging anywhere in the old comics.

He had a swing line that extended down out of the Bug but as far as I recall no grappling gun.

That's what I remember as well. Guess they decided to save some mold charges and gave him the grapple instead of the light gun. Ah well. Still happy they made the things.

Looking at that Hot Toys Goblin, it’s amazing how simply ditching the terrible mask and sticking a raggedy rear end purple hoodie on him took the design from lame to loving great. Maybe the best Norman’s ever looked even.

God I wish Bandai or Medicom would do a 1/12 version.

Well I've had to accept delay again from target, the tiger force outback is super back ordered I guess.

On the bright side, amiami just charged me for the agrias bring arts figure so it's a pretty good morning so far.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Since I'm in Canada they canceled mine outright. I could have sent it to the US you jerks, I have a PO box.

The dumb thing is that couriers are who you're supposed to use for stuff with batteries and EMS isn't.

I thought about getting Kam but while I know who he is, I pretty much draw the line at ‘88 figures and the only possible exceptions I’d be willing to make would be for Kwinn or the Oktober Guard, which are probably never happening.

Think I’ve got everything else I ordered apart from Mindbender, Sarge, and the stuff they just announced at PulseCon, surprised to hear there are still folks waiting on their Twins, Outback, Viper pack et al.

Though the store Zartan is several tiers below the con exclusive one.

If you can't find it and are real desperate this Aliexpress store has it, I ordered from them because there was no local source over here and my usual Hasbro Asia sourced stores never carried it(until a week after it shipped of course).
