Random question but what's the deal with The Fwoosh?

I assumed from the Youtube channel that is was Robo who ran it by himself but looking at the website and the forum and it seems like there's a full team? Is Robo the owner or just a member?

Not important, just curious.

No idea how the site and contributors came together, but I had the same question a while back. Robo and VeeBee are their most prominent contributors I'd say but they have a handful of people under their umbrella.

I'm debating picking up the Static Arts statues for dress Tifa and Aerith, since it seems like they are roughly in scale with the FF7R PAK figures. I'd get the PAK versions, but like Shiroc already said, the joints are just so jarring on the elbows and knees. I've got some credit kicking around at a local store and it has both on preorder for the same price, so it seems like a decent option. This line sure is a slipperly slope, though. It started with just Cloud and then eventually Tifa. Then it mutated into just getting all of the main cast. Then Avalanche. Then the bike Jessie comes with. :retrogames:

Yeah, I got everyone except the Turks. I’m not really interested in the bad guys, though had to get Sephiroth obviously. I did skip the bike though, I’m okay with just the figures.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
I busted out my Play Arts a few days before the discussion picked up in here, they'd been in storage for a bit and I had never actually opened Seperoth. I like them. I don't love them. I'd be willing to part with them if anyone here was interested. I have Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Areth and Seperoth. Package deal, if you want them let me know. Otherwise I'll continue to enjoy them.

There's a new 6-7 inch Godzilla line coming from Hiya Toys, based on the Monsterverse stuff.

The articulation is strange to me, because it is almost an exact copy of NECA engineering, just better sculpts. *almost* an exact copy because a few of the joints are still very NECA looking, but improved on. THen you have stuff like the arm joints which look dead on to what the NECA did.

It's also apparently only available in China, which is weird because their other stuff is sold here. Wonder if it's a rights things?

Holy hell... this is the JP T-rex figure I've dreamed of since I was a kid...

I have a powerful need for that T-rex. I got their raptor and it's delightful and (imo) the perfect scale for dinosaur figures.

I also pre-ordered my boy the dilophosaurus from BBTS. I missed out on the Amber Collection version and now it's crazy expensive.

Please do. There aren't any photos or reviews for it and I am very curious.



Also; went to Target hoping they'd have the new Masterverse figs. They didn't but I found the Lightning Collection Pirantishead. He's a lovely fish man, who may or may not have a mangina.

It’s probably one of those bootlegs produced by people with back door access to the legit tooling. Venom seems like a hard character to mess up cause he’s mostly a black blob, not a lot of paint apps. Might be worth picking up if you’re a Venom fan.
