Jace Madan posted:I'm not sure if anyone else collects the Playmates Terminator: Salvation figures, but apparently news is that wave 2 of the 3 3/4" figures (which had the Bale likeness)have been cancelled. The 14" harvester will be released in the fall though.

Jace Madan posted:They still had to release the Moto-Terminator (They had to resculpt it to match the final movie version, same thing happened with the harvester). It's got this spring-loaded feature where a "seat" flips around, the dashboard pops up, and handlebars spring out, but I keep it in its "regular" mode and it looks excellent. It's got miniguns on each side, wheels that spin really well, and a folding kickstand so you can keep it upright. I like it a lot. Xenomrph fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Aug 16, 2009 |

Wow, nice! What was the head originally? What sort of modifications did you do to it, other than repainting it? Seriously though, that looks pretty excellent. The "metallic" blue on the outfit really works well, and it looks great.

After only finding Forager, Robotman and Power Girl at one I went over to the walmart by my work and found the entire wave and picked up a couple Jokers and a Batman.

Checked the local 24-hour Wal-Mart just now on a whim, on my way back from a friend's house, and they actually had Wave 10 stuff. Picked up Power Girl (only one they had). It's the only figure in the wave I care about, and I don't care about the build-a-figure piece. If anyone wants it, it's yours if you cover the cost of shipping and whatnot.

Speaking of minimates, I scored 3 packs of the Terminator2 ones on eBay for $15 with free shipping, which seems like a pretty good deal. I'll likely post up some pics of them when they show up, they looked pretty neat.

Can anyone suggest any Aliens (as in Alien, Aliens, Aliens 3, Aliens vs Predator) figures that would fit that scale/don't look like poo poo.  They come in 3 colors (to reflect the colors that the costumes were in the movie at different points). I've got a blue one with a closed mouth sitting next to my PC monitor right now and he's really awesome.

Stumbled across this pic on the Spawn.com toy boards: It's a Superman figure repainted to look like 2D comic book art. I think it's a pretty cool effect. Apparently it was done by "frogDNA" over at Procustomizers.

As for affordable Aliens toys, you might be able to find some cheap Kenner stuff from '92 on eBay. I'm a huge fan of the Scorpion Alien because it looks just like the ones from 'Aliens' and it loving explodes.   Click here for the full 1131x1489 image.

Fish Of Doom posted:The transformers stuff is too expensive. You could argue that DCUC can get away with $15 because it's more for adult collectors, but the transformers movie stuff is almost entirely aimed at kids. No kid or parent is going to want to spend $17 on each individual character.

Theres a set of Ulic Qel-Droma and Exar Kun and the case we got Thursday didn't have them in it so just checking to see if anyone has seen it in person. I know the Rogue Squadron one with Plourr Ilo and Dllr Nep was going to be a Wal-Mart exclusive, but Wal-Mart canceled it and Entertainment Earth picked it up as an online exclusive (and jacked up the price  ).

Scoured two Wal-Marts today for the Iron Man 6" figures, absolutely nothing. Not even a space for them, or pegs, or price tags, anything. Phoenix has been a goddamn wasteland for a lot of new stuff lately. We get the DCUC figures, like, several weeks after everyone else does, and despite reports that the new Star Wars comic packs are out at Target and the last Star Wars Legacy Series figures are out now, I've checked multiple Targets, Wal-Marts, and TRUs and come up totally dry. I did cave and get one of the 3.75" Iron Man 2 figures, though. I got the Hypervelocity armor one - I like the subdued colors and the angular design compared the "regular" movie armors. Apparently it's based on some movie concept art, too.   Click here for the full 480x640 image.

The one's I found were simply laid on the shelf with no peg in site.  There's another Wal-Mart I'm going to try tomorrow after work, otherwise I'll wait a day or two and re-check them all again I guess. loving Flagstaff stocked new stuff better than major metro Phoenix does. It's not like I'm living in some podunk town in the middle of nowhere here.

So I got a couple of the little 3" Iron Man 2 figures and I really can't figure out what to do with the "armor cards". Like, I get that rearranging them between armors creates a different letter/number code along the right side. So I guess you can "build" armors with different stats and attributes, and the alphanumeric code would reflect the combination you made? The thing is, the https://www.ironmancard.com URL printed on the armor cards just redirects to Marvel.com and I can't find a place to actually use them or anything.

The rising cost of plastic and a hosed up economy combined with natural inflation leads to these kind of situations.

I can accept paying $5 apiece for 3.75" figures. When the store wants me to pay $7+, I hesitate. I want to get all 6 "marks" of Iron Man armor from the Iron Man 2 series just because I think it'd look cool having them all in a row, but when they're $7 apiece and stuff like the Mark III, IV, and VI are so similar, I really hesitate. I picked up the Mark VI yesterday as an impulse purchase, and I'm already considering returning it unopened because it I could use that $7 on something more worth my money. Add to that the hit-or-miss paint apps on the Iron Man 2 figs and it really makes me stop and think before I pick one up. Don't regret getting the Hypervelocity Armor concept figure, though. The flat face is a little weird but I understand why it has that and it's in-line with the aesthetic, and I still like the figure a lot.

I actually don't own any Revoltech figures of any kind. 1/18-scale are like 3.75" figures, right? I do have one of the Hot Toys "Snap Kit" Aliens which is about 5" tall, and I really like it a lot. Big pic of the snap kits here.
