Central cali walmart here with tr wave 1

No legends or voyagers but all the deluxes, getting skullcruncher

The designs of these guys seem so big in pics that i was a bit surprised when i saw them at actual deluxe size in person

Also scourge looks much better in person, blurr is still bad, going takara for both

>>5851290
I wanna say that they're bigger deluxes than we've had in awhile.
Pre foc I believe.

>>5851290
Skullcrunchers green is fucking beautiful, the hot pink is as garish as it should be and i dig it

Really not digging the face sadly.

Never handled a toy whos parts are so desperate to pop off as well. Still, articulation is there and gator mode looks banging.

Initially i really wanted this guy the most, but i think he may end up getting replaced by crox. I wasnt a fan of croxs hands and chest, so asthetically tr is better imo but crox seems way more solid

No.

You'll just get a bunch if elitist stalking about how they'd never touch a filthy subhuman American figure

>>5851248
yup >>5851244

>>5851078
Ah... are you sure? That's kind of scary. I actually got some of the first wave of the GoT figures and they were all fairly solid but felt fragile, but now their newer stuff with Fallout and Skyrim looks pretty bad. I was going to get the two of them and Yasuo so shipping wouldn't hurt so much. I guess I'll continue to wait for some actual images of the product. I wonder why they'd go with Funko of all companies.

>>5851111

You can email support to find out. I'd guess they are the manufacturer because of a low bid or because they are just skins instead of the normal characters.

>>5851111
Yasuo will be fine as he is produced by Goodsmile.

>con exclusive, especially SDCC shit that more often than not should just be a re-release of an existing figure
>people actually trying to justify anything being a con exclusive

Fucking shitters ruining an entire hobby. Want a more accurate Broly figure? Eat shit, better live in some shithole in Cali or you'll never see it for a decent price.

Want a decent TM2 Megatron, something people have been pining for for years? Fuck you, $800 con exclusive.

Etc.

That's called the Autism Divide.

Autists (i.e. people that collect Marvel Legends, Transformers, and Waifu toys) don't understand that putting all 350 of their toys out on every surface of their living space is a sign of mental illness. In a proper society, doing such would lead to forced sterilization or outright castration of the autist for the good of us all. Instead, we just mock them.

>>5850042
I have a system.
depending on what im putting up will depend on how many will be in the space
>3,4, or 5 if its small (1/12 or whatever)
>1 or 2 if its medium sized (hot toys)
>one a single big guy (larger hot toys or 3A stuff)

>>5850042
>I don't want to get rid of it, but I feel like it just looks tacky and I would put it in storage.
I do that all the time. Don't know why you'd want to display everything you own in the first place. Not only does it give your figures room to breathe but it also gives you an incentive to cycle through your figures on display depending on your mood.

The one I have has purple lips for some reason, but other than that its very average, his jacket stuck in place like that is annoying too.

>>5849865
Face is a bit bleh and the heavy coat will bend his legs over time, also my arms and hands are constantly popping off, even as a NECA fan I can't really recommend him.

>>5849865
It's the best Dante we have so far, but that's not saying much. See >>5849875 mine also have purple lips. The face sculpt is atrocious and doesn't look anything like Dante, except for maybe DMC2 edgelord silent meth addict baggy eyed Dante. Articulation wise it's also meh, he cannot dualhand Alastor, and Alastor is a bit too small for his figure. Also the cape is too heavy, causing the knee joints to warp

TWO DAY WARNING

***GM Group Build***
Rules:
Pick an HG GM, and paint and customize it. For it to count as a GM, it literally just has to have GM in the name of the MS on the box, otherwise, no, it doesn't count. As far as customizing it, I'm going to place a limit on that. The limit is 50% additions to the kit.
To define 50%, look at it like this, you could take a GM Custom and replace the arms (including shoulders), legs, and backpack and I'd call that 50%. I'm not counting handheld bits in that. If you're unsure of something please ask in IRC, the thread, or email.

Due Date: 8/12
Submissions go to [email protected]
Submission format
Please submit photos in jpg via a compressed file (zip, rar, or 7zip), please don't link images to imgur or photobucket or the like. Please also name yourself, even if it's a pseudonym. Also indicate your participation in the contest below.

***Contest***
Instead of doing just a generic group build this time, there's going to be a prize pack. The prize pack will contain a GM Sniper K9, a set of glass paint mixing jars, and a Tamashii stand (sized for HGs or RDs). Shipping is at my expense.

Rules for the contest:
If you wish to enter the contest I'm going to actually need some proof. Please send me pictures of your kit as a work in progress and a final product with a timestamp and your email address. I hate to put his burden on you guys but this is the internet and people suck.

Judging
Regardless of who wins the contest proper, all entries will be made available on a blog post on Saturday, August 13th. Actual judging will take place Saturday as well, with the winner announced that evening. The winner will be contacted via email and be given a two day grace period for responding. PLEASE USE AN ACTIVE EMAIL WHEN SUBMITTING!

Finally have time to work on my PG unicorn.
removed the ball joints for the verniers and cut holes to accept IC sockets. The hole in the verniers was a little too big to take the 3mm led directly, but a piece of styrene tubing made them fit perfectly.
I'll be gluing the IC sockets in place with some UV curing glue later.

>>5848957
burger king backstreet boys. If I recall, one of them came with this stasis pod/coffin thing that I used for my other figures.

Looks fine in the picture there op....

Stoner superman seems like a weird concept for a toy

I dunno why the hell they'd do this, it's not like they don't have the resources to ship internationally. Unless they just want some extra cash from the partnership.

The list of items that can be purchased through this partnership right now is...basically nothing. If this doesn't work with new items that are on the webshop then there's really no point to this.

>>5848086
Probably to get around bullshit distribution license fees.

Nah, dude. They even come with instructions for a basic method of solving it. The hard part is solving it fast, but most people are impressed no matter how quick you get it done. You should spend an afternoon learning it some day. Makes for a neat party trick.

To "solve" them through guesswork, sure. But you're not supposed to "solve" them like that, there's a specific set of moves you're supposed to follow to do them.

Depends on the level of proficiency you want. My little brother likes to speed-solve (I believe his fastest time is around 8 seconds for a 3x3 cube). You can reasonably learn the basic algorithms in just a couple hours, but to then learn quicker methods and gain speed takes a lot of practice. Companies out there make special cubes that are engineered for speed, too. But for a basic solve, it's not horribly difficult.

>>5847436
Variable Action Heroes for articulated, later POPs for statues. S.H Figuarts are and always were garbage, anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong.

If you don't like the VAHs though (which many don't. I personally find them hit and miss) then it's either statues or nothing. I dig my Sabo figure but the Mihawk didn't look very good to me, so I skipped it. Not sure how I feel about Hancock either, it didn't look as good as I'd hoped.
