Valk009 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 So, here is a thread on MW, which is all about 1/6 figures...good for me! I recently started again in collecting a few figs here and there and my latest addition is the Medicom Ghost in the Shell Motoko and I must say she looks hot! I also pre-ordered the Sideshow G I Joe Snake Eyes but the release date got apparently pushed back from Jan to Mar. Now I am getting hooked on the beautiful Iron Man MKIII but heard qc issues, so any feedbacks from members who actually have the fig?

mr.chogokin Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 the MkIII's out? My dad pre-ordered one some place but they said they had gotten pushed back? I'm tempted to get the mkII, though I made myself promise I wouldn't get another toy over $100 until the VF-1S max comes out. and a War Monger would be sweet though it would be MASSIVE, like ED-209 massive (which of course they did do) What I heard from my regular hobby shop, HTs are making 2 runs of the MKIII. 1st run is sold out. If your preorder was pushed back I think you will get it on the 2nd run which will be march. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHobo Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Really. Man BBTS doesn't have their HT iron man in yet so maybe their getting the 2nd production run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 BBTS gets everything late. Id like to get one, but he's a pricey SOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.chogokin Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Guys, I just took my SS Goku out... I gotta say, thumbs up! Everything from top down to me is excellent, although if you're a discerning collector who mind that certain material shouldn't be used for a collector's item, SS Goku's chest and shoulder area is made of a rubbery... er.. rubber? I mentioned rubber because in place of it, Medicom would usually use pvc. Still, it's a good piece imo. His clothing especially is well-made and sewn at places so the folds and creases it makes, resemble how Akira Toriyama drew his clothing in DBZ. One more minor complaint though is how his paint and general color would look a little too bright and lacking in secondary tones to bring out more details when compared to the normal Goku... that actually depends on how you perceive the SS Goku. On one hand, yeah I do find the details lacking, but on the other hand, he is portrayed as in the midst of a power-up on the box, and he tends to look that way most of the time in the anime, so there you go. A damn good piece of SS Goku to have. I expect a Battle-worn SS Goku next please, you hear Medicom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I was just going to start crying foul wondering where the HT Iron Mans were, but guess the MkIII is out... I'd also really like to see some detailed reviews and just how articulated it is... I have the MkI on preorder and haven't seen any news in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Nut Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) My HT Iron Man MkIII arrived this morning. Looks great and the poseability is very good. There was a small QC issue in that a pin that holds the hinge together on the left flap tip was missing but I was able to fix this by making a new pin out of part of a large paperclip. Other than that it's a great figure and I would recommend it as a worthwhile purchase I've taken some pics, check them out at the link below http://www.flickr.com/photos/83239867@N00/...57614297769356/ Edited February 23, 2009 by Valkyrie Nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stram8777 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Does anyone have any experience with the Sideshow Collectibles 12" Shaun from Shaun of the Dead? Big Bad Toy Store has it on clearance and I am seriously tempted to buy it. I am just getting into collecting 1/6 scale figures and to this point my only experience comes from old G.I. Joe figures. So I have no idea what Sideshows quality is like. They also have the Ed figure not sure if I want to pick that one up also though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Is the Mk II out yet? That's the one I like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 no, only the Mk3. Enterbays 24 figures look stunnning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley424 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Gah, I've been bitten by the bug I just ordered the Sideshow General Obi-wan, got on the waitlist for the Snake Eyes and the Hot Toys Iron Man is tempting me really bad. Must resist, need money for Yamato SDF-1, will convince self to wait for second Iron Man movie and a possible Hot Toys War Machine and Iron Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Enterbays 24 figures look stunnning. It's insane that both Enterbay and Hot Toys are coming out with Marlon Brando Godfather figures. They're almost the same as far as accessories and look. Hot Toys even resculpted theirs to compete against Enterbay I guess. I'm not interested in getting it but I'm still blown away by the quality.

holytoledo69 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Here's a couple of pics of my Hot Toys Dog Alien.. And a Wolf Predator.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I got that predator, but I got the version one that doesnt have the opening mandibles. Just got Sideshow Obi wan from ep2, and he is awesome. GREAT figure to add to the collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UN Spacy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 It looks like I'll be getting it from Angolz as well. This will also be my first Medicom figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyness Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 UN SPACY. Thats what I,m talkin, about...hell yeah!!! It,s not the original with brown pants..but who cares THAT is the best Harlock figure I,ve seen yet. Going from experience with Medicom...I,m very happy with my Gatchaman figures ...beautiful face sculpts that resemble the anime very well. I also love the box art on the new Harlock figure!!!Also very curious on the thin body sculpt for this Harlock beauty!! I think Angolz is the cheapest I,ve seen..but if anyone see,s it for less than $150.00 let us know!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 i finally got my Res Evil 4 Leon, and he ay b my fav 1/6 figure yet! he looks awesome, his gear is great and he poses realy well. Total winner for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I could only get the unattainable Blackjack black coat version...I,ve seen it once on ebay,but didn,t have the funds at the time .also 500 pieces made ..a TRUE collectable,very rare..anyone who has it, is able to ask what they want for it on the after market...it,d be nice to have that type of power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Seems like Medicom is re-re-releasing The Rocketeer. Now it's Ver. 2.5. I know the differences between the first two versions but I can't read japanese, so any help will be much appreciated since I've been holding on this figure for a long time now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Focker Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 That Harlock looks cool and fragile. Broken arms and legs for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Are you trying to steer me away from this purchase? Are Medicom frame's notorious for breaking? Don't scare me like sempai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Nah, don't worry. I had a few of Medicoms Lupin figures and their Spike Spiegel figures which were also lanky and thin and they were perfectly durable. That Harlock looks hawt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Here's a quick review of Medicom Captain Harlock v2.0. http://toyhaven.blogspot.com/2009/03/medic...version-20.html That's right. Apparently Medicom already released a Captain Harlock about ten years ago. The differences are like night and day. http://toyhaven.blogspot.com/2008/02/space...by-medicom.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyness Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Thanx for coming to the rescue UN SPACY!!!! great review..nothing on the durability of the body sculpt..but I,m not worried I,ve had good experiences with Medicom from the purchase.s from the last 2yrs. I,m sure if there was an issue with the body it,d had been mentioned in the review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
