>>10967561The death of Kong.
>>10967561pre orders are up, expected time of release is Q1-2 of 2025
>>10967614I think I'm gonna pass. We're on Cell saga releases in Figuarts, so I'm assuming Broly is coming soon. I can see him being a regular release, so I'm assuming prices won't be too rapey. In addition, it'll probably look better, and why buy this third party when Tamshii will probably get to him eventually.
>>10967614where do I preorder?
>>10967621People will buy it because Tamashii won't do shit like this. They've also teased SS4 and something else, but I can't remember.

>>10965713it's a cool looking robot that can perform animations.
>>10965696Did you expect the remote control robot to transform into a gun and just lie there?Transfags needed something to go with their Robosen G1 Optimus. Megatron turning into a gun would have made for a shit Robosen. If you want gun Megs, buy the Masterpiece.>>10965702I remember faggots said that until MP-36 came out and they had to eat their words. Just because toy guns encourage American police to shoot children doesn't mean Japanese cops have the same problem.
>>10967581>>10965876
>>10965876>dont call it g1 thenDo you know that most people think Bay designs are the normal Transformers designs, except for maybe Optimus?Calling it G1 is to make it clear "silver and red original design robot" regardless of the vehicle form
>>10967596So they should have called it G2 Megatron in G1 colors? G1.5? All to appease the autism of some fucker on a Cantonese spirograph forum who had no intention to buy it anyway?

>>10967117No, I have several scale worlds. Maybe its not small, Feraligatr is just freakishly big. I was expecting it to be pretty bulky because of this pic.
>>10967318I mean, its appropriately sized according to the dex length. Skeledirge is long, but not thick or tall. >>10967156The retailers like Five Below, Ross, and Marshalls are probably just ordering that first WCT Alola wave through one of the many suppliers on AliExpress. Like the other person above said, these small unarticulated pvc figs are super simple to reproduce. They just make molds of the official figures and crank out duplicates. Packaging is a piece of cake to fake too. Dirt cheap prices and stupid retailer buyers and you have stores like these that stock these bootlegs on the shelves. Five Below is also still getting bootleg Tomy Clip Go Pokeballs. The official figs of those were released way back in like 2016 or something, yet they've continued to stock bootlegs up to this day
Walmart/Target in MO. Starting to roll out.
>>10967156IIRC the pokemon figures were originally made by a company called WCT, before they got acquired by Jazwares. WCT was a small company so they couldnt afford to do their own manufacturing, so they contracted some random factories who then produced additional products to sell as "bootlegs." So basically the bootlegs are sold by the guys who originally made the first couple of figures
>>10967631Strange that TPCi trusted said small company. WCT didn't really have much of note, and Tomy USA was already doing great to some degree. Some later figures would get gummy, but they always had a set plan every year, up until the best quality final evo starters

Is John Wick coming out at the end of this month or the end of next month? I have him ordered on BBTS and it’s saying April but other sites say May. This will influence how much money I spend on other stuff over the next couple days. Anyone know?
>>10967039It's slated for May. Knowing Mafex it could always be delayed though.
>>10965631It's literally just the comic spidey with an alternate head.
>>10967574Not really, the back logo is weird and the blue is stupid bright.
>>10961496>>10962558The smiling one is great but I'd still rather score that head from some EB reseller who doesn't want a non-serious unmasked Tobey and let's it auction with other accessories he doesn't want for like $5-10 or so, which is how I scored a bunch of things like some Medicom Superman accessories, an angry Supes head, a phantom portal and five stands ($1 each). And he shipped all my stuff in one box for $12.>>10966225The shoulders really are a problem. I hadn't thought about that until skimming this thread and the photos.>>10966225The one on the right >>10961460 just looks weird as fuck, I have to go look at videos now and see how it looks when someone is posing it. There's only one store in me that has these in hand and they have then behind glass and are assholes and won't even let you hold the box unless you hand them your picture ID. And of course they don't have an open one out for display.

>>10967337>I also wouldn't say the Movie Maniacs are 'statuteshit,' once again, i said music maniacs. they are the same size and have the same articulation as the retro batman line.
>>10967181Not as much as I used to since you can reliably cherry pick with pre-orders. If I want the BAF and at least 4 of the 6 figures that comprise it I'll usually just order all 6 for expediency's sake. Otherwise I may do a mix of cherry picking figures and ebaying BAF parts I need or even the entire BAF itself depending on how the numbers crunch. The 7th figure that usually doesn't have a part is judged separately.
>>10967181I used to if I wanted the BaF and if most of the figures interested me. It's been a long time though. I'm trying to be more choosey with what I get because of the price hikes, but it can be tough. Still, there are definitely figures I would've gotten if the price was right.
>>10967553Those are NECAs or some such? You don't mean the McFarlane's? Because PICREL is what I was thinking off, I wasn't trying to flame you or Other Anon. I bought this because I saw it at Toy's R Us in a Macy's on Black Friday and another open one (the Ted Lasso) looked well made and it was marked down 50% so I grabbed it. >>10967555I can understand this if you have the money and it also saves on shipping. Someone was auctioning all three unmasked NWH figures starting for $69 (a really genius, this seller), and they went for $78 (plus tax, shipping was free) and I regret not going for it up to $85 and I was still the second highest bidder when I dropped out, since that's what I will likely end up paying, plus wasting my time and the hassle, after I had to grad the Tom and Andrew by themselves, and I'm still trying to snag the Tobey for under $25-28 including taxes/postage. I could have afforded $80-85 and it would have saved me probably 10-15 hours of my life I'll never have back.
>>10967630>Those are NECAs or some such? You don't mean the McFarlane's?google is free.

>>10967058some fat chick sucking Cocks all day... it's a mystery the vulture-investors haven't moved on yet but i guess the best meat is right when it dies, right?
>>10967100Let's put this in perspective: let's say you're a (((guy))) at a retirement fund handling their shares portfolio. Hasbro is only less than a 10th of a percent of that portfolio. Why should I care what happens there? Not worth my time.Cocks knows this too.
>>10962946when did this happen? I don't follow the toy industry much but if i remember not too long ago it was Mattel that was doing really badly and people saying it wouldn't stay afloat while Hasbro was now investing in their media branch to start making shows and movies.
>>10967447Only because that retard Goldner couldn't get a job at a media company so he decided to twist a toy company into one. They didn't really invest either, as much as buy what they thought was a turnkey business after farming out stuff like Combiner Wars to the lowest bid ding Flash animator. Surprise, it failed and fell apart completely when he died.
>>10967447Mattel only "survived" because they lumped it full of money. They still lost money in Q1 2024

>>10966222gutted my kitchen and bathroom. Was overly optimistic on how fast I'd get things done. My life until the end of fall will likely be, work, work on the house, fast food, alcohol and 6hrs of sleep. Considering going semi NEET mode once all that expensive shit is out of the way so I can focus on model tanks and model tank accessories. There's a light at the end of the tunnel
>>10966222you sound depressed, unironically touch grass, pick up a physical activity and do some face to face social interactiondid that myself and it saved me from sudoku, now my second kid is on the way (not recommended for scale modeling, I couldn't do any for over a year now)
Finally finished this nice little Hasegawa kit, been sitting on my shelf for ages now with only a few steps left to go. >As you may know, the Luftwaffe, fed up with the aging F-104 and its poor safety record, finally decided to retire it. >Its replacement, starting from 1987, was the relatively unconventional F-29, newly developed by Grummann as a technology demonstrator, but readily adopted by West Germany, perhaps with the help of a few properly greased palms. >In service, the F-29 proved a reliable and agile infighter, marred by its lack of an onboard cannon (solved in 1993 with the F-29c iteration) and by its lack of an onboard radar.

>>10966978I was about to ask why does it have chinamen letters on the air intake, but then I took a closer look
>all those anons who kept things in their private warehouse for 3 to 4 years are finally going to get their shit cancelled kek
>>10963635It's not. Even at normal price it's at least 1,000-1,600 yen cheaper than AmiAmi for a scale figure for example. HLJ base prices always tend to run higher and their shipping cheaper. But it's item dependent. Sometimes HLJ base price AND shipping is cheaper. Sometimes it's very similar across the board.
>>10962907they refund 80% cash to your paypal if you cancel which is pretty decent since in my case they had been storing it for 2 years.
>>10962736wait, is this still from the coof?i had something waiting in the warehouse for like a year or nearly 2 during covid, but then i got cold feet at some point, decided to have it shipped. they said they had trouble locating it, making me fear that it was just no longer around (the item itself was out of stock everywhere else and on HLJ itself), but a week later they found it and shipped it after alli can't imagine letting things stay there 2 years after that lol
>>10962753Some crazy anon in past threads parked their shit there for an entire year before they forced him to ship it.
>>10963213Didn't they admit they were leaving people's toys outside to rot in the sun? That shit was funny as hell.

>>10966245>>10966732The weapon packs feel integrated into the figures at this point with how many extra they get. I would definitely get a pack of laser rifles though, I missed out on the Target Grunt fiasco.
>>10967247I agree with you but its not that ample if youve only got one or two figures. If youve got a large collection or one of the trooper box sets you get a bit. I was really thinking of the old fashioned blister card of stuff or more recently, the fortnite shark or pinata etc. Is airborne an ok figure, You think itd be a good start to a crazy legs?
