    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.
  10. Tking22
    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.

    I'm in for three, no more then that, three of very cannon fodder unit is my quota, then I'm good.

    Man I never noticed how awful that Con symbol on him looks, that's frakking terrible. I get it, once again, animation accurate, but damn, that just looks so, so, so awful. What options would anyone have for covering it up? White backed Repro Con label at best? That's such a terrible decision in my opinion, god damn you Takara, you really don't want any of my money anymore do you?

    The only reason I am even slightly interested in this is for Willem Dafoe voicing Ryuk.
  23. Tking22
    I don't bother with 1/60 anymore, but if the quality is decent I'll grab a few as gifts for friends. A lot of my friends always liked my 1/60 stuff, but screamed like girls when I told them prices, and now the prices are even worse. I've never shied away from KO or third party, so I'll give one a whirl someday after a review. Chances are good RocketPunchArmy will review one when they're available, he always reviews KO Transformers and other stuff.

    Convenience. I always have a bunch of different stuff on order at BBTS, them and HLJ are my two most used internet toy shops, and like with HLJ, that Pile of Loot feature is amazing. If the price were a tad cheaper from the Mezco site I might consider it, but the price is always the same so I'll just have Wolverine ship with whatever other garbage I have released at the same time. And I guess I didn't really mean changes to the figure itself, that still looks the same, but the new pics are showing off that he comes with a calm and angry head, as well as a katana with a sheath. I love this line, so I'm in for him. I also splurged a bit and have Flash, Zoom, Joker, and the regular release Punisher all on the way now too.

    So yeah, the second episode got VERY dark. I mean, I figured at TV-14 is was only a matter of time before we saw a real human death, but once again, damn, that was very dark. I'm loving the balance the new season is finding too, many were afraid it would get too dark, but nope, like I said, there's a nice balance. New Aku VA is a bit off, but he works for me, either way I am loving having Jack back, especially on the same night as Star Wars Rebels! I feel like a kid again tuning into Toonami for some excellent cartoon action. The beat boxing assassin in the first episode was a highlight for me as well, it wouldn't be Jack without more interesting robo villains for him to slaughter!
