    Don't know if you do third party or not, but Fans Toys is making FT-10 Phoenix, their take on an MP Skyfire, and he looks really promising! I'm just a bit worried I'll get MP-36 in, then TT announces a "toy" repaint, with silver paint and the proper red highlights throughout. That's the deco I would love on this mold, and I'm fairly certain they will do it eventually, if not a toy deco first then maybe that gold repaint that they did for MP-5.

    That's great that you like him! I might too once I get him in hand, but this comes off as very odd... Like you said, he's not perfect, and he's obviously not going to be for everybody, especially those not into the hardcore toon look TT is going with now. And that's not really why I buy toys, I never had G1 Megs as a kid or watched G1 growing up, it was slightly before my time. Also, if the paint is chipped out of the box or just after some posing as some people are reporting, or he has multiples of the same face and is missing one, that's definitely a problem with the toy.

    My MP-36 is on the way along with MP Coronation Starscream and FT Quakewave, yes, after bitching about the aesthetics and what-not like I always do I got an MP-36 anyway. I'm totally prepared to be underwhelmed, and I doubt I'll keep him, but he is a decent mold, he's just covered in questionable paint and that stupid animation accurate and yet an animation error Con symbol on his chest, that will never escape my mind. If Takara could include a battle damaged chest, why not a clean, accurate Con symbol chest? His stupid Con logo doesn't match a single other official MP Con figure, it's so, so, so stupid. As for Coronation Starscream, he's pretty much just a regular MP Starscream but with the cape and crown right? His reissue was fairly cheap so I bit, I'm getting the YM KOs for Thundercracker and Skywarp, there's zero chance I'm paying Takara's idiotic prices for the MP seekers. I watched a couple reviews that compared MP Shockwaves, Takara definitely looked the worst in my opinion, that color is bad, and his legs, and feet in particular look terribly thin. Plus, that price is frakking dumb, like wow Takara, get a grip. Quakeblast looks really, really good, and he's covered in that gorgeous paint, but it's just too dark. If Quakeblast was available in a lighter shade of purple I'd be on him in a second.

    Looks crappy . I have a thousand questions and I'm guessing the film won't answer a single one. Is Megatron just going to get a new design for every film? I didn't even know the Dinobots were in this, I figured, as usual, to hell with continuity and we'll never see or hear from them again, but seeing this, I'm guessing Grimlock gets his head blown off by something or somebody. And I guess that was Unicron flying in? I don't even know anymore. Glad to see they dropped Marky Mark's daughter, her, her boyfriend, and the whole statutory rape thing was unbelievably awful in the last film, I can't believe nobody stopped and thought to remove it entirely.

    Looks like tons of fun, I can't wait! I still think Thor's films are the weakest of the MCU, but it looks like Marvel realized that and injected some extra life into this one, plus Banner's exile is looking like it will be a fun time!

    Star Lord looks pretty good, I need him, and all the other Guardians. I'm actually glad I missed Spidey at HLJ, I grabbed one from BBTS instead, that wall accessory is nicer then I expected, I'll take it! Not like cancelling at HLJ would've been difficult but still, now I don't need to camp their site every hour to wait for an opening.

    Meh, Alphonse looks pretty good, Edward still looks terrible. He still looks like a little Japanese kid in a very, very, very, very bad wig.

    Not exactly box art quality but you get the picture, it's a pretty neat little corner of the White Base hangar deck.

    Got a couple more things in, I'm very excited to get my hands on both! NY sent me one of there little extra shipping invoice charges for Guntank, not much, $10, but still annoying. Not too annoying now, this is a pretty damn big box. I forgot all the bits and bobs that come with Guntank, it's a pretty neat setup with the diorama background.

    Lots of reports of paint chipping and scratching on MP-36, very unfortunate, but expected due to the insane transformation. Apparently putting the suppressor on all the way is a guaranteed way to damage the paint on the barrel, also it seems his head is getting some nasty scratches and scrapes due to transformation. I'm not getting all the praise for the transformation I'm seeing on TFW2005, people are clamoring like it's the second coming of Transformers or something. His transformation doesn't look any easier then any of the current 3P options, the transformation was always going to be a mess, his bot and alt are just too far off to do it clean and easy. A bit baffled I haven't received anything from HLJ yet, I guess they are really taking their time with the orange plugs.

    I'm not too sure on that. I paid $68 shipped for mine, which was pretty reasonable in my opinion. She seems to go for that on average wherever you can find her. which once again isn't too unreasonable, compared to Ryuko who was going for $150-$200 on average, Max Factory may skip on reissuing Satsuki because she isn't too hard to find yet. Either way, nice to get Ryuko for $43 retail instead of $150.

    I really, really need to stop buying these One:12 Collective figures. I budgeted for Punisher, I was always getting him, but these others were sort of impulse buys, but they're damn nice impulse buys. Joker is on the way too, plus the black suit Shadowland Daredevil... Grabbed a Figma Kill La Kill Satsuki as well, with Ryuko Matoi getting rereleased I can finally have the duo. Hi-Metal R M&Ms complete!

    Then it would just get cancelled, the curse of Summer is very real... I don't know how to feel about this, WW and Justice League could both be terrible, this seems like putting the cart in front of the horse yet again. Maybe figure out your already questionable and not entirely stable films before announcing others. I mean, is Flash even coming out next year? Does that movie even have a director anymore? Whedon is nice, not nice enough for me to drop my skeptics, all of these live action DC films have been crap shows and I'm just not seeing any reason to get optimistic or excited just yet.

    New promo shots of Figuarts Spidey. There's a few more over at Toyark. http://news.toyark.com/2017/03/31/sh-figuarts-spider-man-homecoming-figure-details-247897

    I am SOOOO very excited for this. The original TV special was okay, but Curry is literally the only thing that has stood up to time, everything else ranges from bad to laughably terrible, effects, acting, script, all of it was terribad. I can't wait for this, plus the kid that played Jerome/Joker on Gotham is the new Penny-Wise, works for me, that kid put on a pretty decent Joker.

    I had no idea Unit 2 would be marked up that quick, good thing I nabbed mine months ago! Within the same hour NY sent me a prep in progress and shipped email, Unit 2 is on the way! I've grabbed everything in the line so far, even managed to get a friend to grab me that stupid exclusive paint ball gun training set.

    Looking good, can't wait! I'm loving this new kid as Spider-Man, it just warms my heart seeing him with his other Marvel brethren, it's the way it should be.

    They do it with popular items regularly unfortunately. Once their stock of Chogokin Voltron started selling at retail and after their pre-orders went out they jacked the price up a bit on that too. Very slimy, but I get it, supply and demand and they have the supply. I'm just glad I got the damn Punisher I wanted, granted it was after I nabbed the regular release as well, but whatever, the accessories can be swapped around so I guess I'll have an ultimate Punisher by Mezco. Also, I'm a bit bummed the PX Exclusive Punisher has short sleeves and grey pants, I was expecting the same clothing as the regular release. Once again, I'll deal, I can just swap all the goodies I want on to the figure I prefer.

    Do you want to know how shady BBTS is? I love the site, and use it often, but damn, this was pretty cringe worthy. I managed to nab a PX Exclusive Punisher on their site this morning after being told my pre-order couldn't be filled due to a lack of stock, okay whatever, at least I got one at retail, the jerk around was lame but I'll deal. Grabbed him at his retail $129.99, looked not ten minutes later and what do I see? http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=MEZ11085&mode=retail $199.99! Yup, just like that, they apparently got stock in, sold it for retail for like twenty minutes, then boom, that good old BBTS mark up.

    Ditto here, NY let me know she's on the way now.

    The gun/alt mode just looks so broken up and full of panel lines, it's way more noticeable then any of the third party options. Bot is clean though, but I still dislike the proportions and paint. I think he'll look incredibly odd next to the other MP cons just like the other newer animation/toon accurate MPs do, especially with that wonky, intentional, toon accurate squashed Con symbol. None of the other MP Cons have a symbol like that, plus overall, his toon aesthetic just won't mesh with the more detailed Soundwave, I'm sure he'll look fine next to the ugly official Shockwave though. This light aesthetic reboot is so odd, so much of the line just doesn't blend with it in my opinion, I just don't get why they suddenly started do things this way.

    Got my three at AmiAmi this morning just a second ago, zero issues, they're Destroids people, we go through this every time, there won't be PO madness for these guys.

    Looking good! I can't wait, loved him in Civil War.

    It was announced quite a while ago that the DC TV and movie universes are two different things. Ezra Miller is movie universe Flash while Grant is the DC CW Flash, none of the characters will ever cross over or meet, though many would like them to.

    NY quoted me March 25th for her ride, it seems web exclusives always release on Saturdays. I'd camp NY and AE after her release, I'm sure their extra stock will pop up eventually at an inflated price.
