They didn't even officially announce half of that wave yet.

Joe Fisto posted:Yeah, I am having some "I should have bought them just to show off" feelings right now. I don't really need/want the others, but I do desperately want to be cool on the internet. Understandable, but I think you are cool just for having Fennic so it's not all lost.

Can anyone in the UK recommend a good universal (as close as possible) action figure stand you can buy in bulk? I really liked the look of the Hex Bases from a few pages back but it looks like Can of Beans doesn't ship to the UK? (loving Brexit)

Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:I got back into figures a few years ago, when I randomly saw the Black Series Jedi Revan from KOTOR. It was in a sale so it was only $13. I couldn't believe how good it looked in person. It's honestly nicer than any Black Series figure I have picked up since then. (Why the heck don't they make HK-47?) Black Series is in an abysmal place these days with poor quality control and weird character/tooling choices. I'm hoping for a change in direction or management soon.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I just paid a premium for the drat original Bane Black Series and he arrived yesterday The original is much better, simply because it's his iconic look and without the squint.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I like the squint though. And I’m assuming that head will also have the metal plate on his forehead. I think the squint looks great at some angles and not so much in others. Interesting that the promo pics were taken without his breathing tubes attached.

Shiroc posted:Still look really shiny and off to me. I guess I stick with Monsterarts for what I want. Yeah. I was really anticipating this reveal and it's not drawn me in at all. I think Rose Biolante is a great design but maybe not the best choice for the first action figure as it really draws attention to the lack of articulation for both Godzila and itself. Also, I expected way more accessories. No power effects at all?!

The_Doctor posted:Wait, so there’s 3 JP toy lines/collections now? They killed off the Amber Collection and replaced it with the Hammod Collection. The advantage of the Hammond Collection being it's 3.5 scale so they can make the larger Dinosaurs reasonably. However, all the rumours are pointing to Hasbro getting the license back next year so even then it's probably not worth investing.

CPL593H posted:Hiya figures have great sculpts but I never wanted to pay that much for figures that small. HOWEVER, they recently announce they're making figures of Judge Dredd and all four Dark Judges so I'm buying the poo poo out of those. The Hammond collection isn't even available in the UK and I'm gutted about it.

Random question but what's the deal with The Fwoosh? I assumed from the Youtube channel that is was Robo who ran it by himself but looking at the website and the forum and it seems like there's a full team? Is Robo the owner or just a member? Not important, just curious.

Nanigans posted:Feels good to be more or less “caught up,” preorders aside. Though there are still a couple of figures I want. Notably the Dewback and Tauntaun. I kind of want the Snowspeeder, but mostly for the exclusive Dak Ralter figure. You have a lot of great figures, including quite a few on my wishlist. The Gaming Greats Jango is pretty good. If they don't announce anything for AOTC anniversary I'd say that one is worth getting to fill the gap.

Joe Fisto posted:I don't want to clog the thread up any more than I already have, but I want to make sure BSS gets first shot at these before I go to SA Mart or elsewhere. Don't reply in the thread with questions or offers, DM or email me (so we can get back to toy chat.) Email is dneighbors @ gmail.com (same for paypal if you want something) I will keep this post updated if/when things sell. I will most likely put up a bunch of Marvel Legends mid-June when the school year ends and I have more time. Just a quick question in public incase anyone would like to know but could you reasonably ship to the UK? I have my eye on 12 figures.

I love both of these but I wish the paint apps on Burning Godzilla were better. Maybe some trans plastic for the orange. Much improved over the first two releases though. Edit: I'd still prefer jaw articulation over swappable heads though.

Burkion posted:Tomorrow I'll write up a thing on it. 100% agree. It just has enough details off about it that it doesn't look right. Maybe the joints will be refined a bit too or maybe I'm seeing things but they look a bit unsightly hidden the rubber.

Agrias120 posted:I’m kind of underwhelmed with the Rangers, but it’s hard for me to articulate why. That Goldar and Zord are magnificent, though. I'm in the same boat, though it's probably just the nature of the pictures. Not really posed, not lit well, etc.

After seeing how the Silverhawk figures look in person I'm too reluctant to drop any money on Super7 lines except the Godzilla one, and even then I feel like Melting Godzilla might suffer massively once we see a painted final figure.

Nerd Of Prey posted:They can't all be winners, I guess... It's Sentry's gun hands all over again, odd choices of accessories sometimes in this line. Maybe some third party customizer will make some big blue energy fists for her. The nicest thing about collecting Black Series is that Hasbro mitigates this issue but not bothering to include any alternate hands or heads or energy effects in anything.

Shiroc posted:I'm getting to opened up the rest of the stuff I got yesterday. It's annoying that they switched from the brushed metal look for the last two Poké balls. I only have the original, and I want Ultra and Great. I wish they did something with the skulpts for them so they at least the patterns were engraved or somthing.

Burkion posted:They are actually- about 8 or 9 inches, to go head to head with the Godzilla stuff. All of the monsters and Zords are being scaled with the Godzilla line, so I'm obviously happy about that. The individual Zords aren't scaled that way though, right?

Burkion posted:So in theory if it all works out, this is where their heights would line up. It's why combination is impossible for what they're going for- much like with Transformers, you cannot have perfectly screen accurate G1 designs that can also transform, or especially combine. Great post mate. Yet more reasons I'm all in on this line.

The_Doctor posted:They’re doing another Hydra Stomper? Will it be the same one as before but broken up as a BAF? Considering you could pick it up pretty cheap not long after going on sale, that seems a waste. I think it's the Season Two version of an Hydra Stomper. Looks more modern.

robot roll call posted:I got Super 7 Ultimates Godzilla and I thought that would be of interest to some of you: You're the first person I've seen report getting this. I was wondering when it was due. Happy to see yours avoided any Super7 quality issues. I'm so on the fence with this range. All the villains and melting Zilla are great looking, but I need in-hand reviews to convince me.

The_Doctor posted:Mattel’s crowdfunded Jurassic Park Gates campaign isn’t doing so great. Yeah, its a disaster. It doesn't help that the gates themselves are attached to an ugly base to facilitate play features no adult collector could care about AND that the Bull T-Rex (from the sequel, so never even interacts with anything else in the set) is an unlock despite being most of the value. Honestly, there's no decent JP toy line out there for adult collectors. Mattel has tried but they simply don't have the skill/budget to pull it off.
