The new action figures thread (NSF56k)

Antimatter

just the lighting

still pretty bad

Schide

That's not the same figure though. That one is the DC Universe 2-pack version with Two-Face there, the other one is the DC Direct version.

Antimatter

ah

jesus

Reigner

Got these for Christmas. I can die happy now

herojoe

That's rad as fuck.

Schide

Niiiiiiice. been wanting the color versions for awhile but they're really expensive now, so no go.

The best I got this Christmas was Hercules Structor and a bunch of wrestling figures.

I have the color ones from NYCC a few years ago. Even have them signed by....well, someone. I don't remember who. :-\

I got the new g2 prime add on kit





looks so cool as a tanker

CorporateLogo

I would like to pick that kit up but 100 ducats is a price that gives me pause

Schide

Mine is waiting in the BBTS warehouse for me to ship it. As of now I am waiting for the Warbot Defender restock to come in.

In other news SON OF A BITCH I WANT A WWE ELITE 12 FIRST APPEARNACE KANE ARGHHH. Why does he have to be so shortpacked? Why do we need like 50 Ortons for one of every other figure? Damnit.

Reigner

Oh man Schide, if I would have known I would have picked one up for you. My Kmart had a display pallet with about 4 Kanes on it about a week ago. If I get there today I'll double check for you.

Schide

Yeah I saw that pallet the other day but it didn't have any Kanes in it which was why I was bitching in that post. But I'm going to another one today so maybe they'll have one there. But I'd still appreciate it if you could check for me, thanks.

EDIT: Nope, no Kanes. The pallet was there but it was full of Ortons and Del Rios.

Reigner

Sorry Schide, my Kmart got rid of its Pallet, on the pegs were just the Best of Figs and a single Orton, which tells me everything else is probably back in the stockroom. I asked and got the clueless "whats out is out " response

noir_blood

Stopped by Target on a whim yesterday, and after months of the same Marvel Universe figures, they had stocked the latest series, so I ended up picking up a bunch of new figures. Sorry for the kinda shoddy pics, as I gotta make do with an Iphone.

We got Storm

Psylocke

Patriot

Electro

And the main reason I was exited for this series- White costume Iron Fist

I'm really happy with Iron Fist, but Electro surprised me, as I think his paint job and detail looks great.

Also for Christmas I got the Bullseye/Daredevil combo pack among some other figures and those two figures are a step above their single pack.

grim123

fuck electro's arms are clear now?!? god damn it I"m going to have to hunt that one down

Schide

It's a variant. There's also a variant of the variant where his head thing is also clear.

Aw fucksticks.

Now I have to be that guy who is homeless and pushes a shopping cart full of BATTLE BEASTS!

I hope the shark headed guy is back! He was the best! Exclamation mark!

Antimatter

i wonder if it's just going to be the minimate style like the gator they've released multiple times:


or the larger action figure style as seen in this flickr:

For those who may have had even a passing interest in my Glyos post a few pages back, tonight is the first product drop since NYCC. So if you want to get into the line, tonight at 9pm EST is a perfect time to start. Tonight brings us this:

Orange and Black Glyans


Shockwave Homage Gendrone colorway


Vinyl Rig, Bike, and the 'Block'



The Block is something new that Matt is trying this year. Designed with customizers in mind it's pretty much an open source building block. With some immagination, a few extra parts and an exactoknife you can make some pretty neat stuff



Last picture is concept art of something that is apparently going to have photos posted sometime tonight.

Hope someone finds this stuff as exciting as I do :P

So this seems like it might be the place to ask this. I used to build Gundam models like crazy back in high school and have recently gotten an itch to build one because it is fun. I remember back in the day loving Master Grade kits and when I was looking for something cheaper, High Grade Universal Century.

I'm wondering what the current standards are for Gundam models that would be comprable to those two. I'm also wondering where one can buy model kits nowadays as inexpensively as possible. I'm primarily interested in Gundam models, but if there are other big robot model kits out there that look cool and are about as complex as what I used to build, I'm open to looking into those as well. I really liked the more "realistic" (as much as big robots can be) military mechs like those fromt he 08th MS Team or Operation Stardust. I also dug some of the more classic designs from the original TV series. I also like pretty much any of the mech designs from Neon Genesis.

Any pointers would be great!

OmnomnomPancake

Has anyone had any experience with Square Enix's Play Arts Kai collections?

Interested in getting this guy specifically: https://ssl.square-enix-shop.com/SqEx/us/ShowDetail.action?productId=1057&sid=1327168886519QljRDyUyAH

Schide

^^^I've heard good things about Play Arts Kai. I got a FFXIII Snow one for my brother last year and it was really nice, tight joints, good stability, looked really good. But that was the only one I ever had a chance to personally see. The main problems are price and size, they're just really big and don't fit with much else. But if you don't care about that they should be worth it.

As far as I know that's still how they work, Master Grade, High Grade, other grades. There are a few places I know of to get Gundam kits, BBTS has them in the US, but their prices for import things are kind of high. If you don't mind shipping from Japan, HobbylinkJapan has a big Gundam selection with a bunch of deals and Amiami is also a good place to buy from.

herojoe

Yeah hobby link Japan has the best prices for the model kits. Personally I hate model kits since I hate building stuff (not so much the building, but the finishing touches of painting and putting the stickers on, etc.) so I just get the figures.

Schide

Ok, I know somebody has to be interested in this.

Kinda wish it wasn't officially Other M but it probably doesn't make that much of a difference.

Reigner

Already pre-ordered this morning. Figma makes good figures when they arent focused on anime girls.

Antimatter

that is shithot

Delzhand

holy shit that looks good

redfield85

Got me this today for $50 at Toys R Us. I couldn't resist. They also had the smaller figures in the form of a 3-pack with the three robots. I was tempted to get it.

Schide

There's another that's a six pack of 4" ninjas as well.

Although I've ever only seen that one at one TRU Express.

The problem I saw with the pack you got is that it looked like they had severely limited articulation. Is that true?

Lindsay Lohan

I've seen that before and was tempted - what was the secret accessory?

RedDelicious

You...paid fifty bucks? The price tag below the item says 19.99.

Good catch because I have to argue with people all the time about the price when it's placed wrong

I dont know how you could be tempted after looking at those face-sculpts, they are so terrible and derpy.

The secret accessory is a little half-inch figure of the same four Ninjas

redfield85

Hey, I am a huge Mortal Kombat fan. It isn't like I am going to be staring at their faces all day. I still think they look cool (aside from their eyes).

It was $50. The $20 one was the three pack of 4 inch robots.

And Schide, their upper bodies look to have a normal amount of articulation. Their lower halves looks meh in that department. I doubt I am taking them out of the box.

So, I have been wanting to get those see through stands to add layers to my display case. Any idea where to get those online or what they are called so I can search Amazon?

Also, what are your opinions on putting a nail in the wall and hanging a figure versus putting up a shelf and sitting figures? And what makes you open a figure as opposed to keeping it in the case?
