I don't suppose anyone here collects the Titan Vinyl Breaking Bad or X-Files sets? Frohike looks out of place on my shelf without Langley and Byers.

They also make Revol Minis of Japanese historical figures. Like Date Masamune, the lord of Sendai in the early 1600s. He sheltered Christians from persecution, turned Tohoku into a center of the arts and tourism, formally established relations with the Vatican, and sponsored the first Japanese voyage around the world



The Revol Mini version might, uh... might not be 100% historically accurate.



Do they make a Musashi?

I've heard that select TFA characters will get the 3.75 black series treatment. The problem is that unless it has a helmet, the face sculpt is garbage.

How's the quality on the S.H. Monsterarts Godzillas? Any chance they'll ever do a Hedorah?

Probably a stupid question, but is it really worth the extra $50 vs a $20 NECA version?

Word. How am I supposed to get a proper bromance representation when the Poe figure looks like rear end?

Oh man, Poe is the worst. Not only do they never look like Oscar Isaac, but most of them don't even look like normal human beings. It's as if the sculptors just tossed exactos at the prototype until it had something resembling a face.

One of my local targets had a whole bunch of Jangos and Phasmas as part of their TFA DVD displays. I'm limiting myself to one Black Series per trilogy, so I picked up FN-2187. Nearly all of the Finns and Old Hans had pretty good face paint applications, so maybe there's hope for the Black Series after all. :shrug:

I've been collecting a few of them, but just the Starfleet ships. I'm annoyed at myself that I missed the NX refit when it hit my local shop recently.

I just started my subscription a couple months ago. They're nice but anything with a nacelle on a long pylon comes pre-broken. Kind of annoying to pay that much and have to break out the superglue for every delivery.

Hot Toys did a full reveal of the Yoda figure. The head is slightly off and maybe some frayed hair would help it but otherwise it's a good figure. I can't see it being more than $200 but they may jack it cause of the diorama.

When Pops first came out they were way better quality, but since they've gotten every single license on earth the quality has taken a nosedive. Every now and then you see one that really stands out though. I still kinda like them though, because they're an inexpensive way to get stuff from franchises that usually don't have anything else on the market.

The tattoos are garbage, but what really makes me hate the Leto Joker are all the loving try-hard behind the scenes stories that have been "leaked". Sending dead animals and used condoms to his castmates and staying in character for days on end, etc. We get it dude, following Ledger is going to be tough, but promoting yourself as this dumb loving angsty millennial Joker is just laughably bad.

Which, I suppose, is probably his desired reaction but it still doesn't make me want to see his movies. It makes me want to avoid them at all cost.
