    No Superbowl, just Monday night football :).

    Not guaranteed, it could be another Earth he jumped to in order to attempt to save it after having already lost his "home" Earth. In various Elseworld previews he states he's trying to stop what happened to "his" Earth on other Earths, as in he's jumping from Earth to Earth to attempt to stop this catastrophe over and over, but has little success until he reaches Earth-1. This appears to be another Earth he made it to a little too late. Also, that was a CRAZY mix of costumes, that Green Arrow REALLY looked like Smallville Ollie/GA, that bright green definitely isn't CW Ollie. It looked like a mix of Smallville, and CW heroes, all dead. Count me in as VERY excited, this is looking more epic with each preview.

    I got exceptionally lucky last night at HLJ, after trying, and failing, on AmiAmi, 25 or so after 11 HLJ opened up. Zero issues, nabbed everything I wanted without issue, Figuarts Captain Marvel, Figuarts Spike Spiegel, Figuarts Broly, Figuarts Gogeta, and Hi-Metal R VF-1D. This will be the first time in about a year I was able to get Dragonball Figuarts from a Japanese site, and not having to wait for BBTS for the Bluefin release.

    Holy crap, this, a thousand times this! Both sites failed miserably when the VF-4 went up, hopefully the hype isn't quite as hard on the 1D. I've got several things I need to order that night as well, Figuarts Captain Marvel goes up then as well, need her and a 1D at minimum.

    Yes, and I absolutely loved it! I thought it was fantastic! I actually started reading the newer Sabrina comic series about a year and a half ago when I started on the new Archie series, you can tell the folks that worked on this really enjoyed the source material, got me hyped for the series. I'm excited for the holiday special in December.

    Pointed about by Kuma on TFW2005, Figuarts SSB Gogeta and, I expected it, Figuarts Captain Marve! They both look good, they are both bought.

    Looks like some sites are putting up the MP-44 price with the early bird/pre-order discount. Definitely takes some of the sting off, but that's still one damn pricey Optimus. Still a pass for me, but those interested, THIS is your chance to get it at a somewhat, if you squint real hard, decent price. Otherwise, like with MP-36, if you miss the pre-orders on these sites you'll be paying the crazy US prices, since this will ABSOLUTELY sell out at this price and at every site that has an early bird bonus price, like with MP-36, leaving only the crazily priced US sites with stock.

    Wow I looked at Toyark RIGHT before I left work and didn't see anything about him posted, got home and yeah, wait-list already. I absolutely would've got one too, I loved the Netflix season 1 and 3 home made suit. I'm wondering how many popular figures have they shown off that will end up being stupid ass Mezco store exclusives? This crap sucks.
  10. Tking22
    Price is once again confirmed, $440-460 or so, far more for those in Canada and other countries, those prices were absolutely insane. Also, full accessory list has come out, and surprise, surprise, that's where all the money went, a bunch of useless crap to pad an insane price. Takara knows damn well most collectors won't bother with a lot of this, they did the same with MP-36 and a bunch of useless accessories and electronics for the voice as well. I'd imagine most would want Spike, Roller, his blasters and axe, the trailer, battle damaged bits to match MP-36 and that would probably be just fine.
  11. Tking22
    I wouldn't hold my breath for a Hasbro version, Hasbro has missed out on many of the latest MP releases and there's no guarantee they will bother with V3 Prime either.
  12. Tking22
    Wow, seemingly confirmed 50,000 yen per figure for Optimus V3, not per case. Spectacularly, absurdly, easy pass. Holy crap. I wasn't interested anyway before, MP-10 is still perfectly fine and the V3 looks pretty damn goofy IMO, but this clenches it absolutely. Honestly, as far as G1 goes? I'm good. Thanks to various third party I've got the complete season 1 Cons and Autobots and that's all I originally set out to collect, most characters beyond season 1 do very little for me and the movie characters like Arcee and Magnus do nothing for me. I'll just keep my eyes peeled for the next extremely expensive MP Beast Wars announcement I guess .

    This is a highlight I read about this morning, their credit card system apparently sucks and Paypal is the quickest way to ensure you get an order in. I'm fine with that, I prefer Paypal for most of my toy purchases anyway. Oddly enough I have a Mezco account and my email is attached, I didn't get any kind of heads up about this guy :(.
  14. Tking22
    For me personally I haven't had any issues with my many, many One:12 figures, yet. I don't doubt that, in time, extreme poses in areas with fabric could end up getting at minimum stretched, at worst possibly a tear. I had it with several Hot Toys figures way back in the day, with fabric and rubber, particularly Dark Knight DX Hot Toys Batman. That all said, my oldest Mezco One:12 would be Dark Knight Returns Batman, one of their earliest figures released several years ago now, I've had him in and out of several poses, several of which I would consider pretty stretched or extreme, and I see no issues, tears, and when straightened out, no stretching to speak of. That's my oldest figure, other then that I can safely say none of the others that I've purchased recently have had issues either, the fabric used, and rubber over certain accents, seems really high quality. I've seen some tears and damage before, but a lot of that was user error, moving certain limbs beyond where they should go, it's still fabric after all, it has limits. I've been thoroughly impressed, my only issues with this line is usually on a figure to figure basis like most other lines, there's going to be fantastic releases, and some meh ones, no different then Figuarts, Figma, or Mafex. But to your point on quality, once again, I think Mezco makes some quality stuff, I've been pretty thoroughly impressed with the line time and time again. I got The Shape, aka Michael Meyers in about a week ago, love it, really quality fabric used on his jump suit.
  15. Tking22
    Ah man, I sure didn't this time :(. I absolutely would've bought one too, I love that Keaton inspired color scheme. It can't be stated enough, these Mezco store exclusives suck. I get that they announce them beforehand, barely, on social media, but I don't have any social media so I never know about one of these until I happen to get a message from a friend, check here, or I happen to check Toyark or something. Such a god damn bummer, I REALLY like how this guy looks.
  16. Tking22
    Definitely a beautiful poster, and makes me even more excited for the recently announced Netflix anime film or series or whatever. Uprising just started on HBO and I've watched it, like, 4 or 5 times already, very fun film. This Black Friday I've got my eyes open for both PR films on 4K Bluray, among other films on 4K.

    Holy crap thank you for this, I was worried I'd have to try to track one down after release. Now bring on the easy to acquire TWE M&M variants!
  18. Tking22
    Boy oh boy if that isn't the finest example of Photoshop I've ever seen in my life... They couldn't have just, like, had the two actors take a picture together?
  19. Tking22
    I hadn't heard about this, that's a bit of a bummer. All of my above mentioned sets were one order, and they are already in processing, so I think I'm good. I might have to look in to moving around a bit of money because I also wanted to check out the Lepin UCS Dark Knight Tumbler, if there's a chance Lepin won't be available on AliExpress in the coming future I'm going to drop some money on all the sets I've even been just eye balling.

    Just wanted to update I got my Lepin UCS Falcon in and built it in one single two day weekend, was madness. I can report not a single piece was missing, and not a single piece was damaged or unusable, I'm REALLY impressed, especially considering the part count. Minifigures are a mixed bag, Han and Leia are great, 3PO and Chewbacca are a bit messy. Pretty nice quality pieces overall, the only pieces I found to be a bit lacking were the basic technic black cylinder bits or whatever they are, actually the black and blue technic bits were all a bit off, but hold together just fine overall. I'm impressed, I doubt I'll go Lepin for anything new or in stock, but all those retired sets that go for absurd amounts are getting the Lepin treatment. I ordered Vader's Eclipse Super Star Dreadnought, UCS Tie Fighter, and the UCS Red Squadron X-WIng. I've got some more building to look forward to. Also, my stupid ass did not measure how big the Falcon was when built, I am going to have a VERY hard time getting it out of the room I built it in, that doorway is narrow.

    Ronin Wolverine is pretty damn awesome, just wanted to give my take. I'm pretty glad I managed to get one, really nice figure. When Mezco nails it, they really nail it.
  22. Tking22
    I'm looking forward to this one, I've been eye balling Quietus big time, and like technoblue mentioned, I too am a bit worried about the apparently quite painful transformation. That said, he looks so damn brilliant in both modes I may just deal with it, either way I can at least wait for your take before I take the plunge. But man, he does look GOOD in both modes.
  23. Tking22
    Figuarts Ant-Man and his flying ant are finally in at BBTS, that took forever. I still probably won't get mine for a month or so, I'm waiting for more goodies to drop before I ship.

    I've personally just had issues with them the three times I tried to use them, your mileage may vary.

    Honestly, I noticed since the new Flash season started up that Joe has been suspiciously out of action, mostly chilling and sitting, this explains it. Very sad news, he's been fantastic as Joe, I hope it's nothing serious and that he recovers quickly. https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/11/01/the-flashs-jesse-l-martin-taking-medical-leave-of-absence-in-season-5 I think the dad's in most CW shows are fantastic, they're cheesy as all hell, but the speeches are usually very on point. Flash was lucky enough to have two fantastic dads, Joe and Jay Garrick, er, Henry Allen. Even Archie's dad on Riverdale is pretty great, CW seems to get dads.
