Heh. Toyfair place NECA directly across from Funko.

That makes sense, they both do the same thing. NECA is just slightly more up-market

Oh man one thing I'm still annoyed about is at work, I have a bunch of black series Star Wars figures, and when I moved desks I took all the lightsabers, taped them together and put them in a mug. When I moved and unpacked, all the lightsabers disappeared, so now I have a bunch of jedi on my shelf with no sabers and it's extremely sad.

There are a couple Gundam models that could replace those Lightsabers. The RG Gundam 00 and the RG Gundam 00 Qan[t] both come with a bunch of extra beam sabers that should fit a Star Wars action figure.

Eh, the 00 has those saber hilts that don’t look like Star Wars lightsabers. An RX-78 or GM got the cylinders that’d look more right.

The great thing about the 00 and the 00 Qan[t] is that they come with a variety of beam sabers, in Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker colors, that are way better than the Star Wars beam sabers

Oh yeah my favorite scene in Star Wars is when Obi-Wan takes out his drill gatling gun.

In the Star Wars cartoon there's a dude who has a circle light saber that spins around and lets him fly like a helicopter. So we know that there are better light sabers than the ones in the first three movies, we don't have to stick with the old ones.

It's a gross show with tons of rape and the basic premise is "Goblins are just degenerate evil monsters that must be exterminated, all of them, even the babies" which should make anyone with even the most basic grasp of how fantasy treats other races as stand ins for IRL marginalized races extremely uncomfortable

Does anyone know of any larger stands that have spots for a lot of supports like Nendoroid bases do?



I want to put a bunch of figmas on the same base, each having a separate base kind of gets in the way.

An Action Base 4 or 5 might work. They're made for Gunpla that have a special base adapter, but each does come with a little grabby claw that would work for Figma. Action Base 4 is for smaller Gundam kits so it would work for regular Figma, but if you've got like those crazy boat girls with all the gear you'd want the larger, stronger Action Base 5

Does Bandai do BAFs? Will we get to build a 1/12 scale terminator?

Bandai doesn't do BAFs, and the current announced line is just the one Space Marine. But they did a Hulkbuster in the Figuarts line and a goddamn Nightingale in the Robot Damashii line, so if the Space Marine is enough of a success to turn into a whole Warhammer line, Terminators are very possible. Hell, one of the smaller Dreadnoughts or an Obliterator wouldn't be inconceivable.

I can't believe that they've done two Bulmas now and neither of them were afro Bulma
