    I'm baffled at how good the face on Thanos looks, and how bad the new face on Cap looks. And yes, it appears new Widow has that odd "shiny/oily" look certain Figuarts seem to get, very strange indeed.

    3DS had a better showing until the very end IMO, even then, releasing 2018, Smash is probably just a port of the Wii-U version. Not much hype from me personally.

    90s were old, 80s are very old, and beyond that is essentially the dark ages/people riding around on dinosaurs, that's how it works. I'm 28 Graham, I can feel it in my knees!

    What I could, I forgot they went up so I missed out on Thanos. Got Tony, Cap, and blonde Widow, may cancel Cap and Widow though. Not a fan of the blonde Widow look, and if Cap doesn't come with his new Wakanda shield from the trailers then Bandai really half-assed it. Passing on Hulkbuster, I have the Age of Ultron one, good enough for me.

    I figured it was some tongue-in-cheek in joke or reference or something I wasn't getting, no worries.

    Lol I am well aware of how time works, the sixties came before the nineties, I just likened it to something I am actually familiar with, I in no way implied Alpha came first or did it first.

    Damn I forgot the flailing wildly, that was his shtick in the original series wasn't it? Like Alpha 5 from Power Rangers or something.

    I have zero exposure to this franchise outside of the old 90s movie, which was fine I guess. Looks interesting enough to me, and expensive, I'll check it out. Robot looks like a Geth from Mass Effect, also, wasn't he built by the Robinson Family? Is he just a sentient robotic life form of some kind now? Not that I care, he says danger Will Robinson, mission accomplished.

    It WAS the clone that defected! I remember! I don't remember if he was an adoptive parent or the real deal, I'll have to go back and watch, which after Rebels, I got a hankering for. As for Mass Effect, I knew about Asari, but I meant other species, the badass lizard guy from 2 mentioned another of his species that had a human wife, go figure.

    Wow, this looks INCREDIBLE. And is that Jim Cummings as Pooh? I mean it has to be, there can be only one. I am so pleased they didn't go with some random big name celebrity for his voice, hearing him hit me directly in the feels.

    I believe in Clone Wars there was another family where the mother was Twilek and the father was human, they had a son and a daughter, the son human, the daughter Twilek. I'm not sure if that means males take on the father's species and females the mother's, or if it is just totally random. I always wondered the same thing about Mass Effect.

    Figuarts Catwoman from the TDK is a TWE item, BBTS has her on pre-order for a fair price though. Didn't notice either, didn't get one either, he's gone everywhere. I nabbed one at BBTS as a placeholder until HLJ opens up again, standard Bluefin Marvel non-sense though, overpriced due to it having to come with an accessory you probably don't want.

    Hi-Metal R

    Tking22 replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    I'd buy that for a dollar...

    Holy crap, those last three episodes were fantastic, and agreed, handled REALLY well. A lot to unpack, I'd say overall... Overall, good stuff, well done Rebels. I'm glad Filoni and Co got to cap this one off unlike Clone Wars, we got answers, AND some possibilities for future story lines.
  15. Tking22
    Agreed, these announced figures are all pretty half assed slight remolds and repaints, easy pass on over half of them. I contemplated Black Panther, but being TWE, and the suit just isn't different enough, the addition of claws that should have come with Civil War Panther isn't enough to get me to buy. I'm in for Thanos, probably bearded Cap unless he VERY stupidly doesn't come with his Wakanda shield like in the trailers, and maybe, just maybe blonde Widow, doubtful though. I'm far more interested in what they haven't shown off, Bucky, which they also teased for Civil War and never made, at this point, we HAVE to get an Infinity War Bucky. I get it, these figures are easy to put out, almost no retooling or effort needed, but c'mon, this is the third Avengers movie, this is a big deal!
  16. Tking22
    Why would they attempt to avoid the release of something they also now own? Also, do you really think Deadpool 2 could affect Infinity War's opening take or overall take at the box office?
  17. Tking22
    Widow is definitely new too, I'm just not much for the new look, blonde Widow doesn't really do much for me. As for Hulkbuster, I haven't watched the trailer enough to see how different it is in this film compared to AOU. It looked like it could have some new molding, or be a completely new mold, not sure. Either way, doubt I'll bother, I have the AOU one, that's enough super expensive Hulkbuster for me.
  18. Tking22
    Spider-Man is absolutely just a repaint of the Homecoming figure. Black Panther looks like it could have some new molding, Strange and Star-Lord look exactly the same as well, Star-Lord looks to have a slightly different colored under shirt from his Guardians Vol 2 Figuart. Lots of easy passes, I just want the actual new molds, he was teased, I NEED a Winter Soldier, Bandai teased him for the Civil War line as well and he never happened. Bearded Cap, MK50 IM and Thanos are all must buys.

    I'd take some Hi-Metal R, those labors would be awesome. Is there anything in the Metal Build line other then Gundam?
  20. Tking22
    Nabbed mine at HLJ, thanks for the heads up. Zero pressure on the PO for this, same as the rest of the Side Labor line, I hope that's not a bad sign. I honestly didn't even know it went up for PO and I had zero issue getting one, as Duymon said, we NEED to keep this line going!

    This is also a highlight, the MP line is still only targeted at the Japanese market, they only gauge Japanese fan's interests and wishes, if V3 Prime is what the people want, Takara will make it. Space is also a factor, in Japan that is especially true, I highly doubt most Japanese collectors would have room for a full Ark Crew let alone a full G1 season 1 or 2 cast. So as Scyla pointed out, Takara will make what will sell best and what the Japanese fans want most, which is toon accuracy, and the most important characters. Would I personally love some more Cons or even mini-bots? Absolutely. Is that what will sell the best and is that what the Japanese fans want? Eh, probably not. People would probably riot.
  22. Tking22
    Or, at minimum, a dark purple "toy" colored Shockwave. How the hell has that not happened yet? Same with a silver colored with red on the legs MP-36, with a "clean" Con logo on his chest? Also, MP-1 was pretty awesome for his time. Takara knows what will make money, I'm positive a V3 more "toon" accurate Prime will sell gang busters, it's just a bummer they are potentially stalling other releases with more re-releases and updated versions of characters.
  23. Tking22
    I'm still not seeing how that's sad, overall I'd say "sad" is a bad descriptor, frustrating maybe? I just want Takara to move forward with some new characters, the more time they waste on V2, V3, etc. is less time spent on a character we don't have yet.
  24. Tking22
    Why is it sad? Some people want the line to actually continue with new figures, not just re-releases and re-paints or figures that already exist. Could there be improvements on MP-10? Of course, as mentioned above, many agree. Would I like to see them actually make a new character from the original Arc Crew, absolutely, more so then another Optimus, or Starscream, which a V3 will happen eventually for him as well and will clog up the potential for more new releases, since SW and TC will have to follow. Sad? That kind of sounds gross.

    Speak of the devil, a new trailer for the big three episode series finale.
