Omegablue Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I really dislike the knee joints, and the lack of a base with recent releases. As well the cheap hollow plastic and that amount of paint washes makes them look rather over priced. I would pay the same price if they were a bit smaller, didn't have those knee joints, and the paint was crisp Matt finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaorin Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) My friend got the MGS figures. I thought they are small scale. if you consider 10" tall "small scale" compare them to the old late-90's McFarlanes, for starters; anyhow, i've heard rumors that S-E is discontinuing the MGS-1 PA line after Meryl's release. any credence to this?

anime52k8 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Square had a prototype of the Dead Space 3 figure on display at sdcc http://www.figures.c...re-enix&cat=760 hmm... I'm not 100% sold on the sculpt as is, but in any event I would have much preferred DS2 rigs first. Maybe I'll change my mind and fall in love with the new rigs once I've played DS3, but I'm just in love with the security and advanced rigs right now.

GU-11 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Cyborg Raiden's looking good. Mr. 47 looks tempting, but his suit looks too tight, and the shoulders look too wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOST annoying, IMO... 47 seems to to be the least affected by this, although they gave him a really weird sculpt. He looks like his clothes shrunk in the washing machine.

anime52k8 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Movie Batman actually looks really good, to the point I might actually get it. Catwoman and Joker look surprisingly good too, but bane just looks stupidly over-muscled and veiny. Arkam city batman just looks incredibly bad; he's so ridiculously muscular he looks like a flabby old man. his face having both jowls and forehead wrinkles doesn't help the old man look either. oh, and I hate how much texture his suit has.

Negotiator Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 The arkham city old, fat batman, is based off the dark knight returns skin, which I agree is TOO wrinkley. I'll be getting the rest but undecided on AC harley. Glad movie batman's head looks like it was scaled up a little bit, but definately ripping off that cape and giving him a cloth one.

GU-11 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Check out the latest and greatest bat figs http://www.toyark.co...show-2012-6491/ I'd have gotten these instead of the much larger and more expensive HT versions, but then these would never fit into my Tumbler. The Nolan TDKR characters look nice, although Bane looks a little too ripped. I don't remember him being that "veiny" in the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember him being that "veiny" in the movie. actually they're smaller so they "could" fit in there Anyways greats pics of everyone's figs. After I got ffxiii-2 lightning and her foot problems, I was totally disheartened. However my re-addiction to batman stuff led me to arkham asylum batman, and I was blown away of how fun that figure is. Since I'm an articulation whore, I think I'm giving up on hot toys for now as these are much cheaper and way more pose-able, the inaccuracies are forgivable. Bummer I missed out on Solid Snake. ...of course if a company made articulated and accurate sculpts in this scale, that would be GAME OVER!!

I wish you didn't me of that. The left foot on mine actually snapped off after I tried to adjust it a little. Now it's held together by blu-tack.

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I picked up Arkham City Bats and Catwoman today, and after seeing the atrocious paint job that male Shepard got, it's hard to believe they came from the same company. They both look great, especially Catwoman-it's the best looking figure she's ever had IMHO. By the way, if you're in the Bay Area in CA, Legends in Vallco Mall will give you 20% off if you buy both Bats and Selina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GU-11 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) The yen's been pretty high for a while now, but that's only part of the problem, IMO. PlayArts seems to have gotten in its head that it's the next Hot Toys or something, despite the fact that many of the recent figs are just a dodgy as before in terms of quality and design. I guess that's what happens when you have a monopoly over the most popular video game licenses. Edited February 5, 2013 by GU-11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 but the yen's been dropping for months now, prices should be better now, not worse. really, the worst part is that despite how expensive these things are, I'm still fully prepared to buy multiple Halo 4 spartan figures just so I can kitbash my personal in game armor setup. (of course, that assumes they're even going to make a protector and a pioneer armored spartan figure at some point.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU-11 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The yen's gone down, but I heard it's not by much--still pretty hight compared to, maybe two or three year ago. Either way, I'm more or less done with PlayArts. My FF-XIII-2 Lightning had a bum leg, and I don't like the joints they use for the arms. That said, I might make a small exception for MGR Raiden.
