hooooly moly, I saw a Marvel logo on this box and was wondering what it was and why there was a gigantic, heavy Marvel box on a bulk cart.


well, it's because it's a 1/3 scale statue of The Incredible Hulk, that's why! like holy loving poo poo that's a crazy big statue


it's by these guys, so yeah, they make massive, intricately detailed, superheavy and insanely expensive display statues.

I went into Ollie’s today, and they had a HUGE stack of Starting Lineup figures for $7 each. Only 3 guys to choose from, but so, so many of them. Very tempted to grab a couple for parts, because I think they’re essentially ML compatible (right?)

There are literally thousands of statues this size and bigger available to the public. Wish I could afford stuff that big, and have my own museum wing to display them in.

Yeah, I know that now, but like, stuff like this was at the upper limit of what I knew about before, this was what I considered the biggest thing available to regular folks:


Meanwhile that hulk is literally almost as big as that man. Like it's head is almost as big as his. And it's "only" a few thousand dollars. It's wild to me, I've never really seen statues like those before, and that company has a whole bunch of them. Including a bust of optimus prime that is proportionally bigger than a person! poo poo is crazy(as are the people who buy them)

I have one XM statue, but it’s 1/4 so that makes a significant difference. Plus it’s not the Hulk.

They don’t have the Marvel license in North America so they’re expensive to get here. Easy enough with Spec Fiction, just shipping cost is high.

I don't think they look bad or anything but the realistic skin texture and cartoon faces is throwing me off a little. Did they just put new heads on the original body sculpts? That first release set looked so amazing.

Sorry to pester you, but any chance you have a photo of your Figuarts Chewie you coule share? :shobon:

With my luck, even if I end up buying a Solo Chewie to mod, they’ll turn around and announce a rerelease of ANH Chewie.

Huh I’ve been out of the World of Nintendo loop for a while and just saw Jakks finally released a 4” Daisy. I checked a Gamestop near me and couldn’t find her so gonna put out the plea here for anybody who runs into her to grab one for me! Also gonna post a bunch of figures I have sitting around that folks may want to buy.

There was one at my local GameStop last Thursday, I’ll check for you today.

I, on the other hand, fully didn’t expect to find one in the wild and immediately ordered one at a markup on eBay ($20 after shipping, but still).

Kinda kicking myself for that one.

Lovely to have the lads together at last.

Also, here you go Nan:



So yeah, the width of the Black Series crossbow is perhaps a smidgen over the top by ever so slightly a tad (it fits fine in his hand, it's literally just the bow part that's mental) but I'm happy enough with him, plus can always slap the Solo gear back on if I fancy switching things up. I think some prefer the height of the Hasbro one but he's still the tallest boy in the room regardless..!

That said, the rate they've been going lately, I imagine they'll just re-release pretty much everyone in the next year or two anyway so you may as well just hold out for the AHN if it's the one you're really after.

Ugh, I did NOT need to know these are being released and that you can swap around parts from different kits. The only thing holding me back from these is I'd rather have Battletech model kits with swappable parts.

Which, as I've said before, someone needs to get on that because there's a severe lack of modern Battletech toys (which is an odd thing for a VERY toyetic franchise).
