Oh, I can resist that... ...but I definitely couldn't resist that! π NECA is absolutely killing it this year.

Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures
tekering replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Looks like one of those Playmates dolls. Maybe they couldn't get the rights to use Nana Visitor's likeness...? π€ And couldn't they at least have used a metal chain for her Bajoran earpiece? π€¨ "Museum Grade." π -

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
tekering replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It is indeed... despite this awkwardly-prominent sticker. π Some joints could be a little tighter, some joints are decidedly too tight, and the headlight gimmick is a little problematic: One side doesn't fit as flush as the other... ...and yet the opposite side won't pop up completely, so neither functions perfectly. π€¨ Still, minor nitpicks for such a handsome dude. βΊοΈ- 9046 replies

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
tekering replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
And yet, surprisingly, this sexy beast showed up on my doorstep today... π² I had to check my pre-order history. When did I order this? Last September...? Actually, it was September of 2021...! Well worth the 22-month wait, if you ask me. π- 9046 replies

Ironically enough, the same is true of The Force Awakens, which (like Dial of Destiny) wasn't written or directed by George Lucas. It didn't have any real dialog or performance issues, so it was much easier for audiences to get past whatever issues they may have had with a broken, depressed Han Solo, whose marriage to Leia had fallen apart after the loss of their son. Now that Dial of Destiny presents a broken, depressed Indiana Jones, whose marriage to Marion had fallen apart after the loss of their son, audiences are probably getting tired of seeing Harrison Ford grapple with the same story issues. π

Wow. After years of Kimetsu no Yaiba merchandise flooding Japan, at a wide variety of scales, styles, and price points, these McFarlane figures are easily the worst I've seen. The poses, the proportions, and the articulation is shockingly poor. Heck, their AKIRA line produced better anime figures two decades ago. π€¨

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
tekering replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Bandai teases a lot of prototypes that never go into production, but they never solicit for pre-orders until they can reliably estimate when a product will ship. I mean, I'm highly critical of Bandai myself, but I've never paid up front for an SHF or HMR pre-order that wasn't fulfilled within six months. It will have taken at least THIRTY-SEVEN months before KitzConcept delivers the Dana I paid for back in July of 2020, when pre-orders were first solicited (which, incidentally, was already several months into the pandemic). And even before COVID, they were averaging ten months between each 1:12 action figure release. I can only assume their 1:72 Valkyries sell better, so those releases are given priority....?- 1802 replies

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
tekering replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That had been my idea as well... but I figured I'd have to mold them in clear resin myself. π€ Yeah, absolutely. They announced their 1:12 Max back in 2020, and they hope to have him available later this year... If they're planning a Miriya figure as well, perhaps we'll be able to buy her in... 2027? π- 1802 replies

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
tekering replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I suppose my Dana pre-order must've gone through before they switched over to their new site... Nonetheless, KitzConcept has confirmed via e-mail that my order is still valid (despite not appearing in my Order History). π- 1802 replies

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
tekering replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So, here's a concern that may affect many of you: I checked my pre-orders on KitzConcept's website, and... there's no record of any. πΆ In fact, the order history only goes back three years, so while there's a record for Lisa, Roy and "Cheongsam" Minmei, there's no record of my order for Rick, or the first Minmei figure. More disturbingly, however, there's no record of the two Dana figures I ordered when listings first went up, THREE YEARS AGO. π³ As most of you are well aware, KitzConcept charges up-front for pre-orders, which means I've long since paid for two figures... yet there's no indication now that those figures were ever ordered, much less paid for. π€¨ Check your pre-orders, people. You may be in the same boat. π- 1802 replies

Are we getting Lawrence Fishburne and Ben Mendelsohn figures in that wave, or will Talos and "Marvel's Goliath" be comic book versions?

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
tekering replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Thanks! That's definitely a reasonable price, and Amazon's got great international shipping rates. -
That packaging is sublime. π If I didn't absolutely loathe that film (and everything TMNT from the '90s), I'd be all over that. π

I was a huge sci-fi geek back in the early '90s, and eagerly consumed everything I could get access to, SeaQuest DSV included. I remember Deep Space 9, Babylon 5, The X-Files, EXO Squad, RoboCop: The Series, even Wild Palms... but all I remember of SeaQuest is the action figures. π Apparently they messed up the show so badly several cast members (including star Roy Scheider) asked to be released from their contracts. π Funny you should mention those two in particular, since few shows got messed up as badly as their second seasons did... π€

Nonetheless, it was a genuine attempt to provide useful information and support official channels of distribution, and @sh9000 is trying to help. You have the advantage of being in the States, at least, where it's a lot easier to network with likeminded fans and collectors; those of us outside of North America are rather more isolated, as we're often ignored by US companies, and it's much more difficult to establish such networks locally. All the more reason we should continue to cooperate, treat each other with respect, and help each other out however we can.

Excellent, thanks. Umm... no Turtle figures available there... π No Turtles available there, either. π€¨ Oh, they actually have some kind of Leonardo... ...and an undead Michaelangelo... ...and... ...oh, I give up. But hey, thanks for proving my point. π
