Sooper Gila posted:I've got a feeling we're going to get buried in cool Ultra poo poo over the next year or so, especially if Shin does well and how could it not? Speaking of Figuarts Shin is going to be here in a few weeks supposedly. Regarding that Figuarts live stream, I'm still really stoked Leo's coming out, he's like my 3rd favorite UltraBro, and my most wanted figuarts dude other than Redking. Bandai's going to do redking one of these days right? How could they not? That would be like, I dunno, doing a sailor moon line without Queen Beryl, or a Lupin line without Goemon. Who would do something like that? Yeah the Dark Baltan is amazing (I was a pre-production unit in person back in December 2019) and I hope that there will be more of this type. I've got the SH Figuarts Shin Ultraman on pre-order so am looking forward to that. The Leo is also one of my absolute favorites. Looks like pre-orders on a lot of places are out but it's going to be a general release figure so it should be no problem getting it generally. The 55th anniversary Ultraman will be the same mold as the standard shodai Ultraman but just with a metallic paint job. The 50th anniversary was the same except it had a little cityscape and Baltan UFO that it came with. Yeah I don't know why they haven't done a RedKing yet. I have the Baltan, Alien Metron, Gomora, TwinTail, Alien Zarab, Alien Guts, and Zetton. The Mephilas Seijin came and went on P Bandai quickly so I missed that and the Dada is even worse, going for around $300 if anyone ever actually lets one go, which never happens. Due to the Pandemic I also missed out on the Ultraman Titus and Tregear releases  The Ultra Kaiju that they showed off in this announcement looks great but honestly I am not really a big fan of Tiga so I'll probably give it a pass.

The figuarts Harley Quinn looks pretty cool. Nice outfit that’s comic-ey without being overly sexualized. I’d rather have a Hot Toys figure of it, but that’s not a guarantee to happen (even though it’s likely.) So I guess the dilemma is AmiAmi where they don’t like you cancelling, or BBTS where it’s $20 more.

Jeez, Timber's way more articulated than I ever expected.

Just get her from amiami and if you end up not wanting her, you can flip her for more than you paid if you just keep her in storage for a couple months. I ordered her as soon as I could. Been wanting a movie version of Harley for the shelf and I'm glad I skipped all the others. Now if they'd just allow the movies to use Robin again...

Davros1 posted:https://twitter.com/preterniadotcom/status/1400830153220050944?s=20 holy gently caress that roadblock rules. Snake eyes and timber of course are great, looks like he's using Beach Head's body, but the roadblock is more of a surprise to me. Breakers awesome too even if he doesn't have his bubblegum. Aphrodite posted:The figuarts Harley Quinn looks pretty cool. Nice outfit that’s comic-ey without being overly sexualized. Gripweed posted:Red King is a recurring villain but he's a fan favorite and is often depicted very sympathetically, up to Ultraman Z being shown to have been very much in the wrong to attack him. So I guess that would make Red King the Harley Quinn of Ultraman? I realized my metaphor totally failed when I tried to think who the penguin would be... but Batman doesn't gleefully mutilate his enemies to death on first meeting so it's tricky...

The 50th anniversary was the same except it had a little cityscape and Baltan UFO that it came with. Yeah I've got both the Type A and the 50th anniversary set, would be great if they did a type B face sculpt on the 55th version. I was really really lucky and got Dada six months after he came out, the p-bandai shop for Singapore gets extremely small allotments so preorders regularly get canceled and he was already at about 200ish around that time on ebay. Someone ordered from a shop here and after six months of not returning the shops calls to collect it they offered it to me at the original release price. I wish I had two more to display each face, but I'm glad I was able to even get one. The piece I didn't get and now regret was the Baltan shadow clone 3 pack. I refuse to even look at the online prices now as it'll ruin my day. Hopefully Leo is indeed easy to get, the Jack reissue sold out almost instantly though and is creeping towards $300 too so who knows! Good luck on Antlar, he's pretty awesome, has a bit of monsterarts feel to him like Gomora does.

So, all those recent Legends teases that looked like a Wolverine or retro wave? It's actually an Amazon exclusive box set, which is up for pre-order now. I was going to get them all except Wolverine and maybe Omega Red anyway so it's not too much of a hit. https://twitter.com/robotmatt/status/1400867525903060994?s=20

DJ Fuckboy Supreme posted:big same here in Canada Target is funding some significant part of it. Most likely to the point that the whole current line of GI Joe doesn’t happen without them. That’s presumably why there’s no Canadian/international distribution. Walgreens stuff ends up at EB because Walgreens has a contract for exclusives but they’re not funding Marvel Legends.

Whew, I'm glad I want none of those Joes this time around. I'd want that Snake Eyes if I hadn't gotten the primo one a month back ago at a good price. Not that I could find them with the run I've been on. I've only found Roadblock and Cobra Commander while also having three Targets in my city. I've had to grab the rest online.

They need to hand out the license to Bandai so they can make some awesome SHFs with good sculpts, martial arts capable articulation, good paint and plastic quality, a normal loving scale, and accessories that don’t involve the loving pegs being clearly visible in the characters’ hands. gently caress you, Todd.

Search for it on eBay and then select only Sold Items and you’ll get a rough estimate of what each thing is going for right now. Out of curiosity, what are you looking to sell?

Starting in the 90s, Action Man also became its own thing - 12" figures with more of an adventurer/comic booky theme rather than military edit: although come to think of it they did do the occasional commando-type figure Lamont fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Jun 6, 2021 |

Got the Marvel Legends MODOK. In person, he's great. The size is good and the sculpt is really well done. Plus, I picked him up from Gamestop and I guess he's on sale right now?? At least at mine he was $45. Just two hoverchair bros hanging out
