  1. Finished Luke Cage up on Sunday night, really good in my opinion, I loved the sound track too. Can't wait for his buddy Danny to show up, aka the real dynamic duo.
  2. Still loving Rebels, and yeah, that second episode had a doozy in it. At this point I can admit I'm in the tin foil hat group that believes Ezra becomes Snoke, I see the pieces falling into place, more and more of it is making sense. Good stuff Rebels, keep it coming.
  3. I swore off 1/6 and Hot Toys a while back, but I couldn't help but grab this guy, he looks great. I really liked the Netflix season 2 suit, though I do wish it came with an unmasked head as well. I kind of doubled down on my bluff and pre-ordered this beautiful monster as well, the best Hannibal we've ever had in my opinion... I absolutely loved the show, so this is a must have.
  4. This guy looks pretty damn good, that alt mode is miles better then Scoria, but I don't think the bot mode is really any better, plus it better come with an all red toon face. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/perfectfusion-caesium-masterpiece-slag.1064281/page-67 I have the Toon Scoria re-issue on pre-order, but this guy looks real nice too, and he's cheaper. I'll probably cancel Scoria and just go with this guy. -I can't post the photos in here for some stupid reason, but the link above goes to new colored shots of PF Cesium, aka the new FansToys offshoot not MP Slag.

    Hi-Metal R

    HLJ is like that sometimes, I can assure you it will definitely go through, eventually. As long as no error occurred during the order they got it, they just have to play catch up. And just like that, AmiAmi sent out my three Brownies and Figuarts Jango.
  6. This is badass, they all look they are having a ton of fun. http://www.spoilertv.com/2016/09/superhero-fight-club-20-extended-promo.html I found links for this video on Youtube but Warner Bros. apparently wasn't ready to release this yet so they keep pulling the videos, seems to work in the link above though. Once again, very badass, and I am insanely excited. edit: The link I posted is to superhero fight club part 2, featuring Supergirl and the rest of the DC-CW gang.
  7. You must not own a Figuarts Ultron . Yeah I saw a picture of the backs of her knees and was disgusted, they look like those idiotic Play Arts peanut knees. I'm still excited to get her, she's on the way now, and I need her for completion sake. I could never even consider Marvel Legends or Select, I've literally never seen a single figure from either line that looked shelf worthy or even okay, so it's all Marvel Figuarts for me.
  8. My god this theme is just too amazing, all these years later and it still stands as the absolute king of super hero themes, not a lot of competition I can admit, but still, it's just SO perfect. That has me hyped, I can't wait for Supergirl to return and join the DC-CW-verse. The early in costume photos are always a bit off, but this new Clark/Superman is looking great! He even smiled, and joked, and acted like Clark! Amazing! And nobody had to die! With the Warner Bros. DC-Cinematic universe disappointing me at every opportunity, I am so glad I have these shows on CW to fall back on, they're filled with cheese, but I absolutely love them to death.
  9. I just recently got burned on BvS Superman and Batman by Mafex, and plenty of other Mafex figures before them, so I've officially written them off. Their stuff tends to look really good, but their QC, build quality, and material quality is well below Bandai's quality in my opinion. I'd guess we never got Rey or other non masked guys up front because they still wanted to keep as many secrets as possible about the movie itself, Hasbro did the same. At this point though, there's little excuse, Force Awakens is old news, we should have at least announcements for Figuarts Rey, Poe, and Finn. Hell they're just now getting to an unmasked Kylo. I can understand not being able to do certain characters right away, like I said you gotta keep them secrets until the film itself releases, but you also can't put out a first release figure because people won't want to double dip on the second release to get the extra little goodies they missed on the first release, once again see unmasked Kylo. I just feel they should have been quicker and more on point announcing certain characters after Force Awakens was old news. So I don't think there's any conspiracy theories, Rey was awesome and her stuff sells, I'm sure they want to put more of her stuff out, but once again, I don't think I'd be in for/happy with Figuarts Rey V2 that comes with the lightsaber and other goodies the first couldn't have come with without spoiling massive sections of the film itself.
  10. And she's a Mafex, so she's almost guaranteed to be floppy mess, and a disappointment overall . I'm positive they will eventually, they still have to release all the stuff they've shown off already, and get out the Rogue One stuff.
  11. Yeah I went ahead and ordered a KO, or I guess Lepin? UCS Super Star Destroyer. We'll see. Even if it's crap at that price I'll still use the pieces for something, and if it's not, oh boy I got a UCS Super Star Destroyer for less then the cost of my car!
  12. New magazine scans of the new Rogue One Figuarts. Like I said before, I'm in for two of each, and just look at that new Stormtrooper! He can kneel! I already mentioned above they confirmed the new hip system when they first showed these off, it's more then a new hat, but it should have been standard from the beginning.
  13. Mine should arrive Thursday along with Figma DX Link, these things look sweet. I watched several different reviews and they look like some damn solid figures, now the wait for the Shredder they showed off will be that much harder.
  14. Got some new goodies in, Senintel Rockman/Megaman is pretty neat. The Robot Spirits ANIME line continues to impress, the RX-77 is awesome, and the extra face and dialogue tiles with stands is a pretty neat little bonus, I got a set with my Gouf too. I'm really loving these FansToys MP Dinobots, to me these define what third party is capable of, and you really feel like you get your monies worth. That all said apparently this whole new re-issue of Soar/Swoop have a factory issue out of the box, the neck was assembled incorrectly in one spot so the head doesn't sit perfectly flush in either mode, not a pretty sight. Luckily FansToys is aware of the issue and BBTS already notified me I'll be getting new parts as soon as they arrive. Pretty bad mess up, it's not just the toon version, every new re-issue Soar no matter the color variant was sent out wrong. Still an amazing figure, I've got Scoria/Slag re-issue on pre-order too, gotta collect them all.
  15. Ah I see you went with the competition, I have DX-9 Mightron on the way myself. Despotron looks really great from certain angles, and not so much others, plus I wasn't a fan of his head. Either way, both are probably going to be far superior to whatever Takara puts out and calls their Megs 2.0.

    Hi-Metal R

    No idea why people thought this would be hard to nab, I guess many are new to this and still don't really get the Bandai Exclusive thing. Demanding payment up front scares away the idiots that pre-order literally everything, and then cancel 90% of their order once they get the bill, the only people buying this now are the people that really want it and have the money. I didn't even stay up, no need, I knew it would still be available this morning, I grabbed her at NY with no hassle or stress.

    Hi-Metal R

    This. I'll gladly pay NY now and just have it dealt with, in this case I'm not minding web exclusivity. I must admit I didn't expect her to be exclusive, Max wasn't, but Bandai has had no problem in the past splitting up teams with web exclusives. At this point I'll have 15 exclusives paid and waiting at NY, this will just be something else to look forward to without worry.
  18. BBTS just messaged me to let me know Figuarts Donnie and Leo are expected in stock within 10 days, I can't wait, they look amazing. edit: Also, MonsterArts Destroyah special color version is on pre-order, web exclusive though. NY has him, but I'd go with BBTS if you can, their price beats NY and shipping will be much cheaper if you're in the US. Good deal if you're not looking to spend $250+shipping for the original release, I missed out on the original so this works for me. Now we just need that special color Biolante announcement and I'll be all caught up on MonsterArts.
  19. That's not even a figure, it's the actual gun he turns into with a Con logo on it.
  20. Yeah the helmet on the original release troopers looked fine to me, I'm not one to go over every little curve with a fine tooth comb, but apparently a large group of fans REALLY hated the helmet, to the point that they completely passed on the figure because of it. To each their own, like I said I think they looked fine to me, but I'll be getting two of these new guys too, updated articulation works for me, that was my biggest problem with the original Figuarts Stormtroopers.
  21. Newly sculpted head, which you can see in the picture, it's quite different from the original release OT Stormtroopers, apparently it's more accurate, the originally released Stormtrooper helmets were based on the Star Wars Rebels designs instead of the Original Trilogy for whatever reason. Also re-done knee and arm joints, the knees and arms/elbows will apparently be based on the First Order trooper designs, which is nice because they were near perfect. On a side note, I am super stoker, my two Heavy Gunner First Order troopers were delivered today, I don't get off for more then an hour but I can't wait to check them out!
