    To be fair, I only remember him as Captain Marvel, not Shazam. Even then, I never read his stand alone stuff, I only knew about him when he popped up in bigger storylines. I don't even remember when his mainstream name switched to Shazam. I get why they changed it, but it comes off as super weird to me that he yells out the name of the wizard that gave him his powers to change, then he keeps the wizard's name and calls himself Shazam? Captain Marvel made more sense, as far as making sense can go with this character, Shazam is just a cheesy acronym from what I remember.

    Lol. Long story short, he's actually a young boy named Billy Batson, he yells out "Shazam!" when he wants to turn into his big super hero alter ego. Underneath the looks and muscle, Shazam is a little boy, who likes cola and sugar.

    Yeah it looks like he has a cheap Halloween muscle suit on underneath his costume, not really a good look. I'd imagine the actor put on plenty of muscle, the extra muscle padding looks goofy.

    Oh my FEELS! Seriously though, still looking fantastic. I'm sure this will make Disney a bunch more money, plus Obi-Wan is just so delightful!

    Same here, I have a CrunchyRoll account and it seems every older iteration of Ultraman is on there, but there's just so many series and I would have zero idea where to start. If this is something new, and I can get on board from the beginning, I may have to check it out.

    Oh man this, Bond is just never something I ever thought we would see. If true? I'm am all over this, one to open and build, one for brand new in box. Bond has always been one of my all time favorite film franchises, I've owned every film in 7 formats, I may actually, physically NEED this.

    Everyone hated Armada, but within Armada, there are several MPs I would go crazy for if they were ever made.

    Went ahead and nabbed mp MP-43 at HLJ, $263.36. Still pricey, but it's not $320 like BBTS. THIS is the Megatron I grew up with, not G1, regardless of price, I was getting this guy guaranteed. MP-36 is okay, MP-43 looks like the real Megatron :). Oddly enough, I had a hard time paying for MP-36 at retail, I still feel that thing is too expensive for what I got, but as I said, G1 Megatron was just never anything special to me, my bias for Beast Wars Megatron puts him above anything else TF related for me right now.

    Yeah there have always been five islands, Las Cinco Muertes, the Five Deaths. We just haven't seen the other three islands in any of the films, only in games, most recently Jurassic World Evolution.

    Was it 6!? Holy crap, that is FAR worse. When I pre-ordered DX Joker from the Mezco site it was limited 2 per customer and I thought that was bad enough. You are absolutely right, several truly a-hole scalpers undoubtedly bought up 6 of these over and over, and absolutely WILL have these on Ebay for $300+ as soon as they release. This crap needs to stop, make the figures easier to get, or limit it one to customer and demand unique payment for each order, don't accept the same payment method and information for several orders, this crap is getting ridiculous.

    Shrugs, still looks perfectly fine to me, BOUGHT.

    Available on July 21st for VIP members, that's me! Also, limited quantities will be available at SDCC.

    You're not alone, Mezco is catching a TON of heat for this release, and rightfully so. This thing came out of nowhere, no announcement, no word on when it would go up, and then it was up and gone. I only got one because my buddy Rex texted me at work when he noticed it, I spent 20 minutes on the site, crashing, credit card refusals, but I got my order in. Mezco REALLY needs some kind of management, or marketing shake up, they did this with the Classic Punisher and got grilled, so now they double down and do it on another highly sought after Punisher figure. The two per customer on these exclusives needs to drop to 1, how many scalpers snatched two, then contacted a friend and asked if they could ship toys to their location, then bought another two? Several times over I'd guess as well, IF they could get the orders in. This is getting pretty absurd, and I don't know how much good will Mezco has at this point, the artificial scarcity is bad enough, but now we are at beyond DX Valkyrie levels of PO nonsense. Also, they are doing some stupid crap with their social media right now. They are deleting and not allowing new posts on articles on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter regarding this figure. People flooded their social media with complaints, and then they just basically told them to "shup up". I love their figures, and I did get this Punisher, but I shouldn't feel like I won a small lottery because I was actually able to order a figure from them.
  14. Tking22
    Two more figures caught my eye, two more figures pre-ordered. It appears Mezco's site is crashing and a lot of pissed off folks might not get at this new Punisher. I DID! Also, Kong looks pretty great, and that price is very handsome.

    Wow, that Hygogg is frakking gorgeous, I always loved that mecha. We need some POs indeed, this line is churning out some fantastic figures, I love it. My question is, when are we going to see ANIME Zeong?
  16. Tking22
    I mean, we all get what Takara is going for, this thing WILL look like the cartoon in both modes, but like with MP-36 and what M'Kyuun mentioned, will it be panelgeddon all over again? It gets to the point where alt modes no longer look cohesive due to all the panels IMO, just look at the front of the truck, there's no denying there is obviously a lot going on there. The back hasn't been shown off at all, but I too can't shake the feeling a lot of mass and random panels and bits will get folded onto/into the back as cleanly as possible, which might not end up looking too clean for some people, like with MP-36. Bot mode takes precedent always, but some of these alt modes are suffering, MP-36 is another example, really solid bot mode, but the alt mode is the least cohesive and most panely and messy among even the third party options in gun mode, there's just too many small panels and bits that are necessary to achieve the look and transformation. Sunstreaker was a pretty fine balance, his transformation was certainly more involved, but I don't feel his alt mode suffered, I honestly feel his alt mode was at least as impressive as his bot, but MP-36 looks like a cut up mess in gun mode, and his torso in bot is a bit of a mess of panels and bits folded up on each other, at least from certain angles.

    Yup, I think most of their stuff is about a head above Figuarts figures, not much, but kind of noticeable at 6" from what I've seen in most reviews. D Amazing seems to buy just about everything 1/12 or 6", I'd check some of his reviews out, he also always compares Mafex and Figuarts when both take a crack at a character. The guy also gets stuff abnormally quickly, I DHL all my stuff from HLJ now, but he seems to get figures a day or so after their Japanese release.
  18. Tking22
    Paint looks a bit better indeed, and I like the slightly thinner Iron Spider legs, but I already have and really like my Figuarts version, and this is still a Mafex so easy pass.

    I don't think adding that single extra episode to Legion helped, I think it hurt it, 10 episodes would've been fine, I definitely found this season dragging more then season 1. On another note, The Terror is getting a second season! Odd to hear at first since the first season covered the book the series was based on, but apparently the series will be approached like Twilight Zone episodes, a new story, setting, and characters every season. Works for me, if AMC can put together something as detailed, and gripping as season 1 I am absolutely on board!

    Saw this and Incredibles 2 over the weekend, not bad, didn't hate it. Hybrid dinos are getting a bit ridiculous now, Indoraptor was a hybrid made from a hybrid, and there's nothing stopping a future movie from putting importance on Indoraptor DNA to create yet another unnecessary hybrid. Loved the use of practical effects more, and the overall dino variety was more interesting then I expected, Baryonyx and Carnotaurus were always two of my favorite carnivores growing up, good to see them get some movie love.

    Damn that sucks, Miles always gets the short end of the stick. I'll probably grab black suit Spidey then while I can, he still looks really good. I am VERY impressed with this set, the individual bots are AMAZING, and yes, very well articulated. I found myself removing Scavenger and Scrapper because I honestly really love their alt modes, these guys look great in alt mode! Nothing hits my nostalgia quite like a bunch of bright green and purple construction vehicles. I feel the set is a perfect blend of toon and toy, not too detailed and overly greebled, and not too plain, the alt modes just look so fantastic parked together! With most combiners folks don't really bother with alt or robot modes, combined mode is usually the point, and while the combined mode is indeed incredible, these individual bots are a lot of fun.

    That's a damn fine photo, this thing is insane combined, I'm baffled at the articulation on such a massive bot, I think this thing can do the Ironman landing pose!

    Nice, he looks pretty solid in D Amazing's review. I had a chance to grab the Miles Morales version a while back and didn't like a complete moron, it was the first released Mezco Spiderman so I didn't know if it would be any good or not, turns out it's a nice figure and I missed out on the version I really wanted in my collection. I totally forgot I got DX Joker in about a week ago, another damn fine release, I REALLY like the heads that came with this guy, two jackets/coats, Mezco done good with this one.

    I got two large packages in, one big private warehouse shipment from HLJ, and one big box from The Chosen Prime. Infinity War Figuarts are mostly great, Cap is pretty damn pathetic, no alternate yelling head, no shields, only two extra pairs of hands, stupid spear that was used for 30 seconds, Bandai seems to blatantly half ass it on at least one figure in every Figuarts line. Thanos is fantastic and I'd recommend him before he disappears, Spidey and Ironman are pretty slick too. I've been dying to get my hands on Toyworld Constructor, aka Masterpiece Devastator. This thing is a beast, I passed on the first G1 box set release and nearly immediately regretted it, I jumped on this second release as soon as it went up. With this, and three more MP Transformers on the way, I am DONE with MP Transformers, I've got season 1 Autobots and Decepticons complete, that was my main goal going in, and now I can say I'm finally done.

    Yeah Red Alert looks like an absolute must have, still not entirely sold on Sideswipe, but he's paid off along with Red Alert so he's going to be mine either way. I love how BadCube got one upped by Takara when it comes to Sunstreaker, then BadCube came back and one upped Takara's original Lambo, nicely done BadCube.
