All's well that ends well.  Walmart refused to sell me Star Lord at full price back in May but they'll do it now for $12.

I just want to know if I'm going to get my copy.  Amazon is kind of famous for screwing people on pre-orders.

Which one?  The book @Shawnis referencing in the previous post?

If so...interesting...

Yes.

Anybody get a notice from Amazon about shipping delay on new Tenjin book?

Wow, don't leave your Legioss on the stand for too long.  Just heard a crash in my office, stand snapped right off.

Annnnnd FedEx manages to lose my package in Colorado somewhere.

Sue is single jointed...

Shipped from Washington State, somehow D gets his in New York before I get mine in New Mexico.

Cover of that tin shows you they still didn't get it right.  Johnny NEEDS a complete second body for flame on.

This looks like a great figure! I'm late to the Figma Samus line, so the secondary prices are pretty astronomical. Eventually settled for a small Amiibo Samus as a representation even though I don't have a Switch.

I'm not sure where MY is located but you can still find the Dread version for relatively reasonable prices a few places.

I am going to say I think it's light on accessories.  Having a magnetic plate with built-in hand foot tonmake it look like Samus is sticking tonthe wall is cool but there are no basic weapon effects parts.

Samus protecting the Relish.  (And I badly need a new countertop...)

Are we we still getting Mezco 1:12 figures (or selected) after all the headaches and delays that they’ve been having lately? 
 

Gaslights Bat has still not shipped after more that a month of Mezco sending out the processing notice, but their in-house figures are somehow getting shipped out before the licensed items are officially released (Bart Rex is getting shipped out as I speak). 
 

Who here is actually going to quit getting stuff from Mezco completely? I be still getting stuff from Mezco, but not from themselves, but certain selective Rumble Society/Slugfest items that I have interest in. Others I can get from my two local hobby stores if and when they get officially released and a proper review is done. 

FF was the last thing I ever bought from them directly.

Still not convinced the SV-51 were actual re-issues, but old stock at Arcadia. If they were, it would be just about the fastest turnaround time of 1-month from PO to delivery lol.

This is probably true.  I think the tactic is actually smart though.  

...nevermind, sh9000 beat me to it.

I would say the articulation of the shf Chun Li is better than Jada, and based on that video the sculpt for the SHF Vega is better but neither are $60+ better and Jada is four away from a full roster in under a year rather than Bandai dragging ass for a decade.

Them MM figures keep looking more and more nuts too!

Oddly, Jada have a store exclusive at some Frank and Sons Booth:  I thought the alt costumes were supposed to have different accessories...

And here's a video of Jada winning at business at LA Comic Con.
 

To be frank, I don't see the point in bothering with the SHF SF stuff, (I own all of the previous, fyi) you get better scale for cheaper and same articulation with Jada.

Does AE always force you to pay up front now?

I'm excited because from the SF characters I played as a kid, Guile was the only one missing.

So while I agree that Bandai probably will drop the line again it is some sort of competition for my collection.

Same goes with Mafex Rogue, so I hope we see her soon.

You could just get the Jada Toys version.  It'll be in scale with the rest of your figures too.

Why get excited for a line they'll drop again?

The FF will be charging the 4th.  Mezco have a real poor sense of timing.

Wasn't this supposed to go up for pre-order this week?

Bat Glider wings are too short on the final product from the teases more than two years ago and what's with the extra long spats?? 

Edit: And not to mention the un proportional noggin? 

 

 

Their heads are always too big, though.

Looks really good!  Although both are at different scales, somehow they look quite right in comparative size..

It would make sense an already giant body in power armor would be slightly larger anyway.

To be fair, the 0S translucence is not really noticeable during normal handling in normal room light. It only becomes apparent during photoshoots when it is backlit or with focused lights passing through at certain angles. For better or worse, the 0S is also a warmish tone of white, which should make mask any early yellowing down the road. 

 

Actually, the real problem is the reason why there's the translucence.  The plastic on the 0S is incredibly cheap looking and feeling.

That's a bummer.  But it was really poor timing.  There just weren't cheap 1/60's floating around by that point anymore.
