    I mean, I wouldn't say their products are necessarily terrible, the sculpts are pretty solid usually, paint is hit and miss, it's essentially a Figuarts-like take on characters Figuarts can't make, but I've found their QC to be lacking to say the least. Their Hulkbuster looks pretty good, so does their newly announced Mk 45 Iron Man, it's just, with Figuarts already mastering both those figures I'm just seeing them as too late to the party to even consider. I remember when my Batman and Joker were on the way I decided to look up reviews of both, and sadly, I should have done that in the first place. It seems for everything Mafex has made, at least half of the Youtube reviews for said figure have to mention a glaring QC issue, something is super loose, an entire limb keeps falling off, big red flag right there in my opinion. I learned my lesson, it sucks too because their Dawn of Justice figures don't look half bad, I just don't want to buy the Holy Trinity and have them fall apart. Some people swear up and down about Mafex, but my personal opinion, just save your money.

    Posted this in the new general purchase thread in the toy section, thought I'd post it here too. Said it before, I'll say it again. Worth. Every. Penny. I don't get the interest in the Mafex version, the paint isn't as flashy, mold detail appears about the same, articulation can't be any better or worse then the Figuarts, plus from everything I've read, no die cast metal. The 43 suit inside gimmick is the only thing that interests me, and it looks as boring as the Hot Toys version, it's just a little bust sitting inside with a head that turns, from what I've seen online, the Figuarts version can nearly pull this off just by popping Veronica's head off and popping on a Mk 43s head. I don't know, I can admit I'm biased against Mafex in general, the only two figures I bought from them were hot garbage that literally fell apart, having this Figuarts version in hand I can't imagine anything topping it other then the insanely expensive Hot Toys version.

    Veronica arrived for me as well. After opening about seven layers of boxes I finally got to it, and I gotta say, Bandai frakking nailed it. I haven't been this 100% pleased with a Figuart since Broly, which Bandai also perfected. In short. Worth. Every. Penny.

    Every MP release has compromises, I'm still not getting why Ironhide's are any worse or more egregious. Bumblebee is cool, but he's got hollow arms that probably COULD have been covered by those little tail light panels, but Takara dropped the ball there, the Datsuns are pretty nice, but the backs of their legs look terrible and are hollow, Red Alert and Sideswipe have massive, massive, super noticeable gaps in their torsos, and yes, giant chests. I passed on Magnus, Star Saber, and the two Corvette dudes, they do nothing for me, so I can't speak for them, but Ironhide looks like he's par the course for standard Takara MP releases.

    Glaug is up ONCE AGAIN on HLJ. http://www.hlj.com/product/BANN04090/Act Regult is the dog, and yet he is much harder to find due to people's need for multiples, poor Glaug.
  6. Tking22
    I disagree wholeheartedly, he looks amazing, and seeing a finished, painted version of him gets me even more excited. This is the MP I said I'd wait on while I bought all the other cars and releases for no real reason.
  7. Tking22
    That's nothing, there's already two reviews up. I'm excited as hell now, to me, this DEFINITELY looks like it was worth the price of admission. I see a lot of people saying they are going with Mafex instead, easy pass for me, both the Mafex figures I ever owned fell apart on contact, and as far as detail and sculpt goes, I'm not seeing what they've shown as any better then what Figuarts have put out, I think the only thing I like about the Mafex is the mini Hot Toys like Iron Man sitting inside the Mafex Hulkbuster, other then that, meh, not as shiny, no diecast, paint isn't as impressive.

    I'm guessing we'll be hearing about them sometime soon, based on the fact that they just appeared at Toy Fair 2016. http://news.toyark.com/2016/01/28/tmnt-dbz-sh-figuarts-nuremberg-toy-fair-2016-189752

    OOOOOOHHHHHHHH MMMMMMYYYYYYY GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOODDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I am SOOOOOO unbelievably excited I actually managed to find this, like, wow, this wasn't supposed to release until late February or early March. And yet, after looking over Rangerboard for the first time in over a week, I found that this guy was spotted in California, and after reading through the thread a bit more, someone found one in Vegas! Low and behold, after calling around, I found the literal last one in town, and I am incredibly stoked to open this guy up and check him out! Seriously folks, this is a holy grail for me. When I was a kid, I had the stand alone Red Dragon Thunderzord, and the stand alone White Tiger Thunderzord, but I never had the assault team, it sucked, it was maddening, I couldn't make the Thunder Megazord, or Mega Tigerzord, but now, once again thanks to the Legacy Power Rangers line, I can complete my Thunder team. He was pricey, like really pricey, but he absolutely looks worth it. Unlike the Legacy Dino Megazord, this one was designed and made from scratch, from the ground up, brand new mold, no stickers, tampo, paint, and molded detail for days! Plus diecast, articulated Red Dragon Thunderzord tail and neck, it's just, an absolute beast, and I am so insanely excited to have actually found this as early as I did. Hopefully Legacy Tor is coming down the pipeline, Legacy White Falconzord is dropping later this month, so obviously Legacy Ninja Megazord will be happening eventually, damn, I can't wait!

    I haven't received mine yet, Bruce is in my private warehouse at HLJ, I'll ship him once Masterpiece Ironhide arrives and gets paid for. That said, I'm excited for him, the Figma version looked god awful, so I'm itching to check out the Figuarts version.
  11. Tking22
    I just got mine from NY too, I can't frakking wait! Finally, after all this time!

    I've had this happen before with a Bandai Space Battleship Yamato, it was listed as brand new and sealed, suffice to say, it surely was not. If it bugs you enough or if there is real damage, do what everyone else said, file a claim, if the seller lists it as brand new and sealed in the item condition category then that's it, he's responsible for his word.

    That's a pretty sweet Hot Toys haul, and I'm not even much for Hot Toys, but there's no denying that Star Wars stuff looks pretty neat. Thanos looks good, but after seeing reviews online, it really looks like they phoned it in with him, he's cut up weird, and his articulation and accessories seem lacking to say the least.
  14. Tking22
    Yes this, his lightsaber is a tasty little morsel, but we NEED a Figuarts Liam/Qui-Gon Jinn.
  15. Tking22
    I did and I absolutely love him, probably one of my favorite Star Wars Figuarts releases. I've had him for over a week now, I was going to post some pics after I got in Figuarts Bruce and Hulkbuster. I would highly recommend him if you already have Figuarts Maul, he's almost necessary if you have him honestly. And even if you don't I'd recommend grabbing him and Maul then, they look EXCELLENT together battling.

    First image of The Justice League? Looks pretty legit to me, supposedly it's a leak from tonight's The Flash premier on CW.
  17. Tking22
    Looks like someone got a hold of a prototype MP Ironhide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bEJ-KSxEow&feature=youtu.be He looks good! My excitement factor is well over 9000, I'm ready for him and Ratchet.

    Bumping this thread back from the dead, don't know if anyone else is watching this, not sure how anyone that isn't in Star Wars fever possibly couldn't be, but there's a new trailer for the return of Star Wars Rebels, and just, damn... I was super bummed when Clone Wars ended, it had a bit of a rocky start, but was absolutely pumping on all cylinders towards the end. Rebels is pretty damn great so far too, and this mid-season return is looking epic, that "Old Master" looks like a certain scarred, tattooed Zabrak many are familiar with...
  19. Tking22
    Gundog doesn't do anything for me, I don't think he looks very good.
  20. Tking22
    So is FansToys ever going to release Willis or was that quietly cancelled or something? I had heard they like dragging their feet on certain releases, and they love delays, but this seems absurd. I pre-ordered him back in March, and he's been delayed three times now. This was to be my first third party, but at this point, I may just cancel it and not even bother.

    So you're not disappointed in the line itself, but in the availability? That's understandable, but also, that is Bandai. You really gotta get on these quicker if you want them at decent prices, I'm just as surprised the VF-1s sold like they did. Glaug is still quite available though, so that's something.

    Didn't mean to come off as hostile, I thought you hadn't read my post. Going back to horror roots I like, one of my favorite Godzilla films was the Godzilla, Mothra, Ghidorah All Out Attack for exactly this reason, they made Godzilla a monster again, and in the context of that film in particular, the bad guy. Showa and heisei era were great, everyone likes seeing Godzilla stomp monster ass, but I'm ready for a revitalized take on the original 54 terror. Hopefully they can deliver that and give us at least a memorable new design with this film.
  23. Tking22
    Lizard and green were general terms, don't get hung up on them. The Godzillasaurus bit is the only actual origin we've ever gotten for Godzilla, and I already mentioned that. To me this nearly sounds like damage control due to the backlash of the leaked design. Hopefully we get something better looking near the film's end, but even if we do, that won't change his tiny goofy eyes and his over the top piranhas mouth.

    As Saburo pointed out, there's a few places you can still get them, but reasonable price is probably out the window. It seems if you're wanting anything Hi-Metal at a reasonable price you gotta get on them quicker, their aftermarket prices shoot up pretty quick, that armored 1J is almost climbing to Arcadia GBP 1J retail price.
  25. Tking22
    Damn, when is MP Ironhide releasing? I've got mine locked down at HLJ, and I NEED him. I know HLJ says January, anything more firm then that? My B-Day is the 29th of this month, him, Figuarts Bruce, and my Chogokin X Figuarts Hulkbuster would be a super sweet present to myself.
