It's been suggested to just swap Wyngarde and Shaw heads and presto everyone will look better.

That’s my plan too.

Also, found 2015 Doc Brown today at Target, the heads look spectacular.

At Toycon I was in line next to a guy who is the Hasbro distributor for (northern?) New Jersey and routinely stocks their Targets. It was interesting to hear his stories. He knew a lot of the vendors because they were always waiting outside of Target and he occasionally would help them find a figure if he thought they were legit and not scalpers. He told each one "I better not see any Bludds at your table" which was nice. He was saying that most of the people at his level are frustrated by the low number of Joes and he keeps escalating complaints to try to get more for people because he knows they are discouraging people.

Anyway, I know that I can't compete with Rhyno but I placed my first Mythic Legions order at the end of March for All Stars 4 and now have over 120 figures in hand or on order. Yeah.

I count about 172 with the most recent pre-orders. Some are just legion builders which are generic characters. There are only a few more that I want. A lot of the rest are pretty expensive and I expect some of them will be re-released in other all star waves. Almost to the point I will just be getting pre-orders.

The ACBA one is super excellent because we have a lot of alerts and people that help each other out. As an example someone just got the entire Clone Wars set from Target via a friend in there, at cost, and I sold an extra Anakin I found to someone for cost to share the love. They're also pretty drat great about dropping alerts as soon as certain lines' links go up, like SHF and Hasbro stuff.

It's primarily a 1/12 server, though.

That’s where I’m at too, it’s hard to drop $3-400 on a six inch figure that you can mostly kitbash or will eventually be re-released or updated (Baron Volligar and Artemyss Silverchord set a great precedent for big name characters getting unique updated releases).

I just counted and I’ve got 99 between in-hand and preorder, plus a half dozen figures from their pre-Mythics lines. This time last year I probably had about 20 :psyduck:

Yeah, they re-released the original Volligar so that was nice, as well. I do hope the Advent of Decay pre-orders on BBTS actually go through. There are a lot of great characters I have pre-ordered there and it would be a shame to have to find them on the open market.

As I understand it that product is all stock that Four Horsemen has guaranteed to BBTS, so anything preordered on there will definitely show up sooner or later.

Gotta be the big one. #1 that intricate "scale" pattern on the skin doesn't show up in that level of detail on the 7" ones, #2 obviously Vanilla Ice of all people would own the fancy ones!

That's what I heard, too. Given that they have 2nd quarter 2021 as expected arrival date I assume that they came with the most recent shipment/wave. They certainly had a lot of extra Advent of Decay boxes at Toycon though there was little overlap with the BBTS pre-orders -- only about three.

This is 100% correct. The BBTS orders are separate from the other orders. That's why BBTS had so many figures for pre-order / in-stock about a 16-24 months ago. The factory shorted the order and BBTS was waiting forever for the back stock.

It also had the unintended effect of making this line seem more readily available than it really is...

TLDR: Pre-order from BBTS with confidence.

Huh, that would appear to be the exact same figure on the right as the weightlifting cat, just different paint apps.

FYI for people who don’t know about fortnite that season had all characters have an either a ghost or shadow skin which was either white or black. So the black figure linked would be the shadow, while if they ever made white it would be a meowscles who works for ghost.



I play fortnite with my younger siblings and nephews so any other questions on these figures I will try to help!

That is Kit, son of swole cat Meowscles. I think his mom might be a techy spy type human lady? Or just a family friend idk. They also have faction minions called Kitbash, who are more robotic and less cat, to protect this kitten.
