FAGs or go home, yes.
Since the old one capped and fell off the board.
Any good Christmas hauls? I got the Spade, Humvee, Zombies Nuketown and Covenant Watchtower, payday this week too and there's a few sets I've been eying.
Which Humvee? The tan one or the green one? I have the tan one and I've been eyeing the green one.
Also, I got the technodrome, a destiny armory set and the captn reyes figure.
>>6092269
I had the tan one already, have to say I'm liking the green one even more, I almost want to get a second one and switch out the TOW for an MG. Priorities though, want that Bradley and perhaps the Apache first.
>>6092402
The bradley is definately better thsn either humvee, by far. It does not look so out of scale either. How well does the new spade fit with the cod figures?
Can anyone ID this Godzilla? Skin is a thin rubber. Walks and roars; moves legs and arms.

Last time BBTS bought cases on the side somehow and made a deal with 4H.
I dunno if they ordered any 1.75 stuff. Probably, since they ordered 1.5.
>>6169600
>How did BBTS get the figures anyway? Did BBTS backed the original KS for several thousands of dollars for like 20 cases of each characters? Did that show up on the backer list? If BBTS donation count as backer donation then that's like 20-30k at least from BBTS alone, which should count for a whole stretch goal.
That's pretty much what happened. They placed a massive order through KS (or possibly behind the scenes) and paid the same price everyone else did per figure. Once they started shipping though, BBTS were able to get their order direct from the factory and didn't have to wait for the 4H to sort and ship everything themselves (which is why people who bought through BBTS got their figures first).
In exchange for the direct shipment though, BBTS actually limited their mark up to 10-15 per figure at the 4H's request. When they bought figures from the Raven KS, they doubled the price on each figure, and some were almost triple. But for the Legions, $33 figures were 45ish and $18 figures were around $30. Far more reasonable of a mark up considering how popular these figures were (most characters sold out in a day).
>>6169051
>>6169572
>Don't those weapon packs run about $20?
These new weapon sets are $20 each. In the original KS there were three different pricepoint sets. There were basic good/evil sets of the standard weapons for $12 each, three unique weapon sets with 3-4 weapons each for $10 a pop and one banner set with 10 banners (one for each faction) and the bearded axe for $40. New sets cost more then previous sets because they come with far more weapons, but they're also much better designed imo.
I hope with this new "Advent of Decay" rollout they give us more fucked my shit up characters.
I think the line, especially with all the fancy elves and shining knights is a little bit too gaudy. Everyone had shiny armor, shiny weapons, gaudy robes, etc. Even the supposed barbarians looks like they had lived a pretty comfy life.
Brother Mandibulus is certainly a step in a correct direction, but as far as I know other than him only Urzokk the orc had weathered armor (which looks amazing).
I understand that a lot of the ML fans come from MOTUC line which I don't really care about but I think they have gotten their fair share of characters. We need more down to earth, gritty characters that has obviously been through some tough shit because life in the Middle Ages, or variation thereof such as Middle Earth, Dark Souls universe, etc with demons and monsters prowling in the wilderness and without technology are supposed to be tough.
This is being sold on eBay, it's a replica of the unreleased figure I've wanted since I started collecting. The starting bid is $350.00, do you guys think it's too much?
>>6173538
i dont want it. im happy with the hero mashers
You can probably find something else you'd be more happy to buy for 350 dollars senpai.
It's your money buy what you want. Good luck.
So I bought the TMNT12 figures the other day and discovered a few of their feet were different from the others. Only now did I look online and find out that some of them are replicated from the show (no exposed toes) and the alternate versions have their toes out. But here's the confusing part - the alt paintjob ones and the regular ones can have either set of feet! Why the fuck would Playmates do this?
So what foot sculpt do you prefer, the ones from the show or the ones sticking out?
>>6173189
I like the 1st release figures with the big toes. I feel like the show accurate ones are over simplified compared to the rest of the sculpt.
I still don't know why they have 3 toes when 2 has been the standard since the brand began.
>>6173189
They revised the basic mold a few times.
As far as I'm aware it's:
- original version where it's not show accurate
- "classic style" where they initials and elbow and kneepads match the mask
- "classic style" minus the initials
- "classic style" with show accurate feet
Personally I like the original basics, but I can imagine it frustrates the fuck out of anyone who had to slow buy the turtles for whatever reason. That or collectors who need every variant.
Also they make their figures at different factories, so there is some mold variations as I had tried to swap out parts in the past when one figure had defective parts.
>>6173309
more "anatomically accurate" or something, the two toes was better because it was like having ninja shoes on, but not.
What are your experiences ordering from Hobby Link Japan?
They seem to have some amazingly low prices, but I'm concerned they might be too good to be true.
Is shipping really expensive? do they have good service?
Or are they really just that good?
Seriously, you can do this yourself. HLJ is anything but an obscure website.
>>6166269
I know they're not obscure dumb ass, I just wanted to hear some other opinions.
Is it hard to convert the USD into yen to pay?

If Toyfair doesn't have a surprise instore, MP Bumblebee will be the only movie thing I get this year.
>>6172733
I don't understand why Hasbro decides to reissue and repaint their shittiest moulds. It's like how they kept repainting those awful JP3 "Re-Ak-A-Tak" moulds instead of the Kenner ones that everyones loved.
I actually like that Grimlock mold so I'll probably pick that up.

So are there many good giant combining robot toys? I'm into super robot anime and I was wondering where I might start to find toy stuff like that. Not really bothered with toys before but I like the idea of having a few I think.
