    Holy crap, I need ALL of these.

    Friday the 13th The Game came out today! Don't know if anyone knows or cares. Feels fairly unpolished and glitchy, but I backed it years ago and I've been waiting to get a wack at it so I'm excited to finally play it. I've been dying for a game like this for a while, and yes, I know several games like Dead by Daylight came out first and attempted to capitalize on the formula before the real deal F13 popped up, but I never bothered with those. I only got to play two matches before work but somehow I got to play Jason on my first try! Pretty fun stuff, very intense, but once again, fairly buggy. The ground work is there for an amazing game, and as is, I think it's still pretty damn fun. I can't wait to play more after work. Since I backed it I also got exclusive counselor clothing items and the Tom Savini Jason skin!

    Figuarts Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora revealed! Oh boy, another Figuarts line I have to collect.

    His scans were leaked a while ago, confirmed web exclusive but oh well. The other thing the leaked scans showed was that he is getting a US Bluefin release bundled with another Hall of Armor, I'm waiting on that. The price is always comparable to Japanese retail for one Figuarts Armor, and one Figuarts Hall piece anyway, so the bundles just work out better in my opinion, that is if you want a Hall to go with it. Does AE or NY offer DHL? Being a web exclusive those and US Bluefin will be the only ones carrying this guy. and I don't know if either offers DHL.

    DHL shipping is nuts, from Japan to my door two days total, and cheaper then EMS! No kinds of fees either, though honestly I've never received a request for any kind of import fees for any other shipping method before. Got my Spartans in and they are looking good, stellar toys. The paints apps are great and there's a lot of little tiny details, very beautiful work throughout. I'm loving these guys, they're great, my only minor gripe is the ankle rocker, it's honestly pretty weak. Other then that these things are nicely articulated throughout, very well thought out joints, and metal in all the right places. I'm impressed yet again, and how long has it been since a complete Spartan figure has been made? This line is a beautiful thing, I really want my 3 Defenders. At this point, without trying to gloat, I think I've got the second biggest Hi-Metal collection on MW, behind sh9000 of course. 1 DYRL Hikaru 1S, 1 Hikaru 1J, 1 DYRL Hikaru 1A, 1 DYRL Kakizaki 1A, 1 DYRL Max 1A, 2 DYRL That Guy 1J, 6 brownies, 2 DYRL Roy 1S with supers, 1 Roy 1S original hi-metal line, 1 Hikaru 1J original hi-metal line, 2 sets of M&Ms, 12 Regults, 3 Spartans, 2 Monsters, 2 Glaugs, 3 super parts, and 2 missile sets. edit: Stupid me, I didn't look at the instructions before putting my dirty mitts on these guys. The ankles pull down, revealing WAY more ankle rocker and articulation overall.

    The more time I've had to look at the photos, including the hi-res ones accompanying the interview with the designer on TFW2005, the more I realize I absolutely hate the head sculpt on TT Streaker. It's bad. Like unapologetically bad, it's easily the worst face/head sculpt TT has done. I'm a bit baffled by it, because once again, the thing I thought TT always nailed, inarguably moreso then any third party, is the face/head sculpts. But not here, I feel Sunsurge has him beaten in spades on that regard. I'm warming up to the alt mode a bit more, two modes is cool, and a neat way to get the okay from Lambo, I saw that he also includes his hidden rear end gun in alt mode. Definitely lots of bells and whistles included, but damn, that face/head is so bad it hurts.
  7. Tking22
    Might be time to replace my BC Sunsurge, but I really need some alt/vehicle mode pics first. The bot mode looks nicer, but Sunsurge has a stunning alt/vehicle mode. edit: Also a fake chest? I could have sworn people crap on the BC Sunsurge because of his fake chest, claiming TT could do better, and yet here we are, fake chest as well. I'm pretty bummed about certain things on this guy, the head looks really odd, worse then the 3P options somehow, which is odd because I thought the one thing TT always nailed was head sculpts. Also, the yellow spoiler is nasty. I'm just laughing at how similar he is to my BC Sunsurge, I mean, he's more toon accurate, but overall, he really doesn't look that much different. I may actually save a few bucks and pass, he just doesn't look that much better or superior.

    Got my shipping notice from AmiAmi this morning, good stuff. They switched me from EMS to their new DHL shipping, I don't know what that is, but it's apparently comparable to EMS in speed and quality, and cost me a bit less, so I'll take it. Seems absurdly fast though, I got my notice this morning and it says scheduled for delivery 5/24? Two days? I mean once again, I'll take it, that just seems way too fast. Faster shipping and it's costing me less? That all works for me. I'd maybe try contacting them next time this happens, I've thrown tons of money and orders at them over the years and that has never been the case with a single tracking number from them.

    Absolutely NO MORE plastic capes, they can't go back now, everything needs to be cloth. Every plastic cape on a Figuarts figure has been a mess, Vader, Thor, both of those figures will desperately be needing updates with proper cloth capes. The ONLY thing I regard Mafex for is using cloth on their figures for capes and what-not. But Mafex overall is horrible, so now their single positive factor is being implemented by Bandai Figuarts, making Mafex nearly obsolete!

    Are you talking about the Hot Toys figure above, or something pertaining to Homecoming's story? Did you see Civil War? As others have said, that's Pete's old home made Spidey suit, he got a fancy one in Civil War but as azrael mentioned, he gets it taken away in Homecoming and has to return to his home made suit.

    Looks like someone at Toyark got their hands on Figuarts Dark Knight Batman early. http://news.toyark.com/2017/05/19/s-h-figuarts-dark-knight-batman-early-hand-first-look-253148#images That looks really good! My Mafex copy was pretty much complete garbage, so I have high hopes for Bandai to nail this guy. Plus there was already shots of a proto-type Dark Knight Batpod, and with that, I'm sure there's a proto-type Figuarts Tumbler sitting around somewhere too...
  12. Tking22
    Stuff like that is why I won't and can't blatantly say it isn't a good show, it's a really good show in a lot of ways! That scene was excellent, and very somber, it went down pretty much exactly as you posted from the book. Now the question is will we see the "new" Djinn meeting up with Wednesday in the future? Because the previous Djinn met with him and Shadow in the diner in the second episode but yeah, he extinguished himself and made the mortal a new Djinn, freeing him from his pretty obviously hated existence. Once again, good show is good!
  13. Tking22
    Oh damn, that makes sense. I'm guessing he also helped those Vikings in the opening scene of the first episode get the hell out of the New World they accidentally stumbled upon, right after he demanded they play the most extreme game of shirts v skins in history! The actor for Wednesday is phenomenal, he's just a ton of fun to watch. Episode 3's Djin/Jin/Genie scene was excellent too, "We don't grant wishes." Indeed, to some extent.
  14. Tking22
    Three episodes in and I still can't tell if I like this show or not. It has solid performances, some really great visuals, but it just feels like it's really up it's own ass all the time, like it almost implies constantly that it's trippy, and edgy and weird. I don't know, I'll still keep watching, but it gets really middling at times, I can't tell if it's good or pretentious. I've never read the book and know zero about the source material, I don't know if that helps or hurts, either way, it's definitely something. I would recommend at least giving the first episode a shot, if that is too much for you then I'd stop, it just keeps going from there. From what I can gather, with no spoilers because there are honestly very few to give, Gods actually exist, and the old Gods hold a grudge against the new ones we've created in recent times, and I guess they are going to war. Recently released convict Shadow gets tied up in all this nonsense, on the day he is released, by a man simply named Mr.Wednesday, who I believe controls weather, or is the God of weather of climate or something. Very strange stuff, like I said, I'm still watching, so I guess it got me. Also, should someone change the thread title? It was optioned to HBO years ago, it ended up on Starz.

    I got my two missile sets in and I'm meh on them, I don't think they are worth the price. Kind of neat though, I just don't think I will ever use or display them. Oh well, I'll hold onto them for a bit, but they will more then likely be meeting Ebay eventually.
  16. Tking22
    Did you have any issues with your individual bots? I just got my G1 V2 box set in too and concrete is assembled wrong in one area, and another bot has two left arms so he can't go to alt or limb mode. Nothing too terrible, BBTS already has me covered on replacement parts, but that was a bit lame out of the box. Also, are the joints on yours overall stupid tight? I spent over an hour loosening screws on all of my bots to get them to a better place, everything was way, way too tight. Overall I love the set, but I just know FansToys is going to officially announce and show off their version within a month since I just bought this guy. And I don't ever, ever picture Takara making an MP combiner, the logistics of it just don't make sense for them, much easier for a third party to pull of in my opinion.
  17. Tking22
    I saw that too, very interesting, but I think you may have meant to post this in the Third Party TF thread. As long as he's coming still I'm happy, that Whirl looks really good IMO.
  18. Tking22
    Agreed, I loved it as much as the first, and will be buying copious amounts of merch, the standalone Bluray, and the Phase whatever box set. I still love these Marvel films to death, they are fun, fairly well written, and the casts are always fantastic. Far better then anything DC is shitting out and calling their cinematic universe.
  19. Tking22
    I don't think he's talking about a toy, I think he means the robot itself didn't do anything for him in the show until DZ/Dragon Caesar showed up. I doubt a Chogokin Thunder MZ/Mythical Chi Beasts would happen, they aren't anywhere near as popular or well known. Chogokin DZ/Dragon Caesar maybe, but I doubt Chogokin will take the MMPR stuff any further, it's really only the original season/dino stuff most fans are in to.
  20. Tking22
    Oh boy, new little haul of stuff, two hauls actually, one HLJ and one NY. Gotta say though, you know you're probably spending too much when you are only expecting one package when you get home, only to find two, and you have zero idea what is in the second or where it is even from. Oh well, the Figuarts Halls are really nice, as is Meta Knight, recommend for any Smash, Kirby, or Nintendo display. Not the biggest Mega Man fan, but I'm in for every Sentinel Mega Man figure! These things are nice! Chewy is great too, looks good next to Han, some are saying he's short, I think he's pretty good, Figuarts Vader was short.
  21. Tking22
    My guess would be all hail Takara or something, they seem to get constant passes from their most devoted fans. These figures are made in large numbers, and yes there will be issues, but the barrel thing is popping up more and more as a major issue many are facing. I read a number of different members on TFW2005 broke theirs too, the ridges just aren't molded properly on a lot of copies, they're either too tight and cause breaks, or they are like the ridges on mine, worthless, and the barrel just flops downward on his back. Prices on this official stuff just keeps going up too, I've also been reading the new re-issue Coronation MP-11 Starscream has serious issues, it's looking like the KOs of the official stuff are getting to be a better, cheaper bet. Personally, I'm willing to wait for the sexy MakeToys seekers, or just get the YM or KBB KO seekers.
  22. Tking22
    Terrible? That seems a stretch. Why not both? Blasphemy! Voltron is the poor man's Sentai/Power Rangers, with worse costumes!
  23. Tking22
    Pretty detailed little look here, there's a few longer reviews on YouTube, but this guy used the Zyuranger and MMPR themes, so there! The knees are a thing of beauty, they almost brought a tear to my eye. So simple, yet so perfect, finally after years, someone got it, it blends and functions. Another must buy, I hope everyone locked in their POs! edit: I didn't even know the Triceratops horns had the chains in them!
  24. Tking22
    I remember getting excited when I read Bandai/Tamashii got the license to Pacific Rim, I figured they'd do smaller scale, Robot Spirits or something, but this works! Kind of out of left field too, I don't remember hearing of any kinds of rumors or teases for this. Also, I'm insanely pumped for Megazord! I'm waiting on the Bluefin release, I gotta get me that sweet, sweet MMPR packaging sleeve!
  25. Tking22
    Unfortunately not, oddly enough Bandai released two versions, one with the paint guns and another command car, and a cheaper version without the car and paint guns. Once again, very odd decision, even more strange, NY only offered the version without the car and paint guns, and yet both were web exclusives.
