Usagi is up on AliExpress. No guarantee of a mint box though.

The original 2016 box set is about $900 right now. So hopefully a v2.

drat that’s a lot of cash.

I bought a Claw Shredder off eBay just now. Figured 45 was a good deal for a loot box item.

Is AliExpress pretty reliable for stuff like this? They ha e a Casey Jones and that's the only TMNT figure I still want.

Warduke is awesome. I don't see a lot of people picking up Grimsword though, he's equally as badass.

That toy does look cool. I like how he's so huge. Thing is, I didn't have the original figure, so he doesn't give me the nostalgia hit of the three LJN D&D guys I used to play with. Also I just think design-wise he pales in comparison to Warduke. Maybe I'll pick one up if there's some insane sale on him someday.

I've mentioned this before, but my absolute favorite fantasy-themed toys as a kid were the cheap generic "Dragonriders of the Styx" figures. They were made by some little fly-by-night toy company, and the cards didn't even have color printing on the back side, but they were great. They actually fetch pretty high prices from collectors now. I keep hoping somebody will do fancy modern takes on those. I preordered a couple of particular Mythic Legions figures just because they vaguely remind me of those guys. I might have to make a custom "Dragon Man" figure someday.

I’ve not had a problem so far. Sometimes the boxes are in bad condition but the figures have been good. Got sent the wrong item once, they refunded me and let me keep it.

It's obviously full of vendors selling knockoffs, but they have to identify when they are because AliEx will refund you if they claim it's legit.

Thanks guys. On closer look even though the description says 1990 movie version the picture is an animated or comics version.

Those were a bit before my time(born late 1990) but yeah that one is a cool one, more so for the box art than the actual figures though

His face is a little wider than it needed to be but it’s really the paint that’ll make or break it, same with cover girl who went way overboard on her makeup on some figures.

We chatted about this before and I'm going to wait. I half about half the pieces as it is now (and I sold 3 full ones in the last few years). But also note:

If you’re talking a Haslab one, I have an extra I’ve been debating getting rid of. Two seemed like a fine idea before Galactus, Porunga, and a HISS Tank were added to the collection.

I might be interested in that Sentinel if Snacksmaniac doesn’t want it, how much was selling for originally?

So kawaii..
any have any suggestions for a display case?
I see a lot of the popular ones online are shaped like vertical towers. But looking for one that's more horizontal focused, like a book shelf. But looking for see-through.

What do you all use for the ones with a sizeable collection?

A lot of Star Wars Black Series stuff is discounted at Target right now. My local one didn’t have any signs or labels to advertise the sale, but the discount is official through the website and it rings up that way.

Now, I’m officially not collecting Black Series, but I decided to break my own rule and pick up an Obi-Wan Kenobi because he’s my fave. It’s raggedy Obi-Wan with the blue shirt from the new show. He was $18. I was really tempted by his big yellow robot buddy with the sledgehammer, that guy is great and they knocked $10 off the price, but I’m trying to be responsible and not actually get a whole new collection going. They had the two inquisitors for cheap too, and some others.


Edit:
It took some work to make the backpack look good over the cape, but I like it!



I didn't even realize this guy was a Target exclusive. It's a cool outfit.

Yeah that's definitely edited. Neopixels can give that effect but the light would be shining off everything else, and you can't do it at that scale anyway.

Hey, random question: Anybody here have a spare Marvel Legends comics-style Doctor Octopus? I know he was released by himself and then later in a two-pack with a slightly different paint scheme. Either one would be cool. If you ended up with doubles because of the re-release, hit me up.

Basically he's always been my favorite Spider-Man villain, and now that I finally have a really good ML Spider-Man, I want a bad guy for him.

...I'm also considering buying several of those Hand Ninjas for new Daredevil and Elektra to battle.

I'm sure you know, but since it's Sideshow, expect to see her in April or May. Might be a May The Fourth miracle.

I didn't preorder Mando-era Luke from HK, so if *he* releases in May, I'll be seeing him around Independence Day. :(

Yeah, there’s the delay generally. There have been some quick releases from them recently so there’s a glimmer of hope.
