I like how he had to buy a huge gently caress-off Batman stepping stone to display it on just in case anyone was confused what that was from.

I picked up Predator series 10 today. Originally I was just going to get Hive Warrior, but after seeing the other 2 in person I just had to pick them up too.

Hah. You post on here too. Awesome.

But yeah. I'm going to pick up that Hive Warrior. The nostalgia is too much for me to handle. I haven't picked up a figger in a while. But I need, NEED the new Sideshow Snake Plissken figure.



Oh my god.

I hope they do remakes of all the Kenner figs, both Aliens and Preds. I'd buy a Kenner-inspired repaint of the helmeted Hicks figure they're doing.

This might turn me down the DARK path of expensive rear end poo poo. That figure is so fuckin' awesome. I have never purchased Sideshow before. Is the per-order necessary, or is stuff available for a bit after it has been released?

They usually stick around for a while, though you don't get charged until it starts shipping which looks like next summer. There's also flexpay where you can split the payment over 2-4 months.

I don't mind preorders because you can do multi-month payment plans. Paying $60 a month for X months is more palatable to me than dropping $350 in one go or something. It's really the only way I can afford their stuff.

I'm not exactly complaining, but I'm kind of surprised they think Real Steel is a lucrative enough property to warrant high-end expensive action figures.

If you haven't seen Real Steel, you need to see it. It's a great feel-good movie that happens to have completely awesome robot boxing in it.

I like it - it's not perfect, but everything else about the figure more than makes up for it. And those accessories rule pretty hard. :swoon:

I wonder if its some weird licensing issue, because it definitely looks like an older Ford that it should be; but its loving 6" Indy done by a company who understands articulation so i'm pretty excited.

I think Disney has the rights to the majority of Indiana jones stuff now, so maybe Crystal Skull was the only likeness they could get?

No company has ever been ever able to capture Harrison Ford's face. Not Hasbro, not Figma, not even Hot Toys. Harrison Ford must have the hardest face to sculpt in the world.
