Anyone know what the max weight you could put on top of a Detolf would be? IKEA doesn't report it.

Max weight is 8lbs per shelf. Source: My wife works for Ikea, and I had her check.

I mean like outside the case, on the wooden top piece.

Sorry, I should have clarified. They don't rate the top piece as it's not "officially" a shelf / intended to have anything on top of it. The shelves are rated to 8lbs, so they'll only ever give you the weight of 8lbs to save the liability of you put something over that weight on top and the shelf wont support it.

The Tamashii stands end up being a better deal. Honestly, at this point I've bought so many Mafex and Revoltech figures that I have stands out the rear end, didn't realize the prices have gone up.

What are the best stands for the Revoltech figs? I've only collected minimates, but think I'm going tho spring for the Marvel Revoltech figs.

They all come with one, so there's no point in getting one*.


* - Venom is a weighty figure and can't really be suspended with that stand, but because of his proportions and size, the only thing that would really work for something that big would be a Tamashii Stage 5, but even that may not support him. You're better off with something like an ACBA flight stand for those types of characters.

Awesome, thanks for the info! :cheers:

I wasn't aware they came with stands. I was debating whether or not to get Spider Gwen, but considering I'm not paying extra for stands now I'm going t get them all.

They're the one line that I get everything for, pretty stoked for Wolverine and REALLY hoping they do something ballsy like have Nightcrawler as their 6th figure, though I'd bet it'll probably be Carnage or Silk or something. An awesome Sabretooth in the Venom style would be totally okay, too.

That would be awesome. I'm a huge X-Men fan, so either of those would be great.

I saw a youtube video where someone mentioned they thought Carnage was up next, but can't find any other info on it so I'm not sure if that is true or they were just speculating.


Is HLJ the cheapest place to order these? Looks like Deadpool is the only one in stock at the moment. Should I expect that these get restocked or are they fairly limited?

The main ones people use are HLJ, Amiami, or Hobbysearch/1999.co.jp. And of course ebay.

Amiami tends to be the cheapest, but they're also the most popular so their preorders can sell out faster.

Animale posted:

I got the Spidey the first go around (late Jan release) and they're taking re-orders for that one for a late June release so yeah, they get restocked occasionally if they prove to be popular.

My Yamaguchi Spider Gwen is in the mail, should come tomorrow. Will post some pics of it and Venom if people care.

I care! I picked up Spider-man, Deadpool, and Venom a while back, and have Spider-Gwen and some minimates are on the way. Venom is indeed awesome, but I found him a bit harder to pose than Spider-man and Deadpool.

Edit: Anyone have any idea when they'll announce the next figure? Haven't seen anything since Wolverine was announced other than some youtube speculation that Carnage is next. Couldn't find any validity to that though.

Thanks for the info. I'm also hoping for Sabertooth to pair with Wolverine. Nightcrawler would be awesome as well. My favorite Marvel character has always been Beast so I'd love to see him get a figure, although I realize that is probably a long shot. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Thor or Black Panther figure and either of them would be pretty cool. A Miles Spider-Man would be cool, but I think that might be too much Spiderverse for my tastes. I could go for other villains though (Doc Ock, Lizard, Kraven, Black Cat)

Anyone know where I can get replacement stands for Amazing Yamaguchi / Revoltech figs? Venom was apparently too heavy and the peg that sticks in his back snapped the middle peg of pole that connects to the stand, which basically renders all parts useless... :negative:

I've watched all of the trailers, and I don't get it. These things are so popular (The Funko chases are going for goofy prices). The movie isn't even out yet. Are these things really that endearing just based on their looks?

Also anyone get the Revoltech Magneto yet? He might be my breaking point. It’s like they captured MvC Magneto perfectly.

Mine is on the way, and due next Thursday. Early reports are that he is awesome, but his cape is as heavy as the figure and you need to use the stand. Also, some reports of people having issues getting the pegs into the cape and resorting to hairdryers and screwdrivers to loosen / widen the holes.

I think the whole line is dope so far, so I'm pretty pumped for it.

I still can’t believe how much success Mezco’s 1:12 Collective line is having, considering that it should be called the Everyone is Dressed in Daddy’s Cable Knit Sweater collection.

I went from thinking these were dumb as it gets to my favorite toy line. Something about them give me a vintage / retro toy vibe while being totally modern. They really are better in person than pics online.

That being said, you are spot on with the cable knit sweater comment, lol.

They've been showing off Krillin at different shows, which has apparently been a past indicator that an old figure is getting a reissue. It's most definitely coming.

Along the lines of Marvel Legends hanging around / randomly showing up, I've spent my lunch breaks this week going to various Walgreens, Meijer, Target, and Gamestop stores looking for figures. The Walgreens closest to me had some of the Juggernaut figs which I believe came out almost 2 years ago.

Any way to really know when the new stuff should show up? With almost 2 year old figs on the shelf how long should I expect a given wave to hang around?

Which figures are you looking for, exactly?

There's no real good way to know exactly when things are hitting outside word of mouth OR taking your chances with the BrickSeek trackers:

http://thefwoosh.com/index.php/2018/02/marvel-legends-6-shopping-list-round-up/

BrickSeek used to give more granular details but has since moved to a more generic label of what they may have. Either way, it's a good start to see if a store has something before wasting a trip.

I see. Thanks for the info. I've used Brickseek for (Dont freak out, haha) POPs in the past.

Right now I'm just going to try to track down the Juggernaut BAF wave (or Rogue, and the Cable and Wolverine pieces). Then I'm just going to wait for the upcoming X-men wave. Might just wind up pre-ordering it on BBTS to ensure I can build Apocalypse.

Was able to find a Sue and Johnny between all the Walgreens I hit up, and ordered Reed off of their site. So now I'm just waiting for Surfer and Thing.

Really, either! As a child of the 90's I'd prefer Jim Lee designs, but would also love just about any costume back to issue 39. Would prefer to avoid the original costumes just for the sake of diversity / visual interest.

Post Lee, the Astonishing costumes are pretty good. Hate the Morrison Jackets. Pretty ambivalent to the last decade or so of costumes... I guess I'm getting old..."Things were never as good as yesteryear." *shakes fist* Haha!
