Oops. I mentioned these figures to the Missus and of course she had to see them. Fast forward and now I have Kirk, Geordi and Worf pre-ordered. So I guess I'll be getting a first hand impression of them before committing to any for myself. A surprising note is that a few of them are sold out...

Raptor handler guy looks like he's on his way to disrupt Gary and Wyatt's house party.

That sounds like a pretty reliable source. But yeah, lights and sounds and $50? Honestly, each of the figures comes packed with extras (Year of Hell Janeway already has her own command chair). Either he knows a guy, or he's really overextended himself. Or maybe non-articulated display pieces...

Oh, I was hoping it was "other" other figures so I could get a better idea of the size of these. I just read an unsourced rumor that each piece of the bridge dio will be around $50, which doesn't sound outlandish. Still, with 12 pieces total, that's $600 for something that will likely stay in...

I was on the fence about a dinosaur wrangler until you posted that name. That's the best Viper name I have ever heard, so now I'm getting one. Rewards where due, right? Holdup. "Sundown" is the name of the Texas Ranger in the C.O.P.S. line. A line famous for having one of Beachhead's...

Spinny hammer is on my shortlist of accessories I keep browsing Ebay for. You'd think that would be an essential pack in for anything claiming to be a Maximum Thor. I don't know if I'd recognize an artistic-specific figure style (unless it were something really extreme like a weird Sienkiewicz...

Pass. But let me know when we get a Tristan Spohn.

I feel like their ReAction figures are like Pop Figures, where the whole market is less from toy collectors and more from fans of the property. I mean, nobody here wants Parks & Rec figures, but I bet there's some fans of the show who got 'em.

This is what they shared back in June-ish. Also, I get the impression that Fresh Monkey has a good relationship with Chicken Fried, so I don't think there's any intended competition. Also also, I'm a sucker for civic employee characters. C.O.P.S., Rescue Heroes, Village People... I...

My amateur opinion is exactly the same. Knowing a figure is part of a larger line is such a boost. You listening, Super "Dungeons & Dragons" 7? Buuuut, there was a tease for the next figure. It was one of Dr. Badvibe's buzzbombs. I'd be sad if Cops'n'Crooks failed after just sticking their...

I've argued that having figures delayed shouldn't be too much of a problem because if you had the money in December, you should've just saved it to March. I got no excuse for all these figures coming out early, though. "I was planning on using my tax return" feels like a valid complaint.

This is a big draw for me. Secret Wars waves are guaranteed to be right in the era of characters I'm collecting. Obviously I'd like a version that skips the throwback shield and slightly off homage paint schemes, but it got me a new Absorbing-Man and classic Falcon, so...

Which is why I look at the pictures of the figures before I order them.

I put in my pre-orders for Falcon, Absorbing-Man, Magik and Daredevil, but I'm already on the fence about Daredevil. He's a character I want, in the costume I want, but like with the recent 2-pack Cyclops, it's not in the *style* I want. I figure why get a version that's almost there when I'm...

Ace used it once in a livestream and I thought it was great. Somehow it never caught on, though. I keep waiting to see if it turns up on the packaging as an official line name. Or maybe it sounds too much like committing to a line of dioramas that he's not willing to do. Or maybe I'm...

Weirdly, for me it's *just* Melodia. While she sits in my Pile o' Loot, there's no mention at all on Hardware. He's all that's keeping me from hitting that "ship now" button.

I'm sort of covetous of that street/sewer diorama. It looks dope and is smartly modular, but it's way too big for any shelf I have. I am curious to see if they continue the Dio-Ramen line, quietly hoping for a generic command base/mission control room, but I've no optimism that it'll be sized...

I bet each of those heads sees more use than the shield.

Hadn't heard of this so I had to look it up. It's a kid's line, but I am intrigued by the idea of swappable parts. Character customization is a clever way to give the RPG experience to your toys. I think I just assumed 40 year old technology would be cheap, but I guess if that were the case...

Even better than I expected. That Falcon looks great. Absorbing Man and Daredevil are both on my Really Want list, but make me happy that my son and his friends have been getting into figure customization. DD seems like a really easy repaint of the D's (and maybe just cut the belt off) while...

Was hoping the Maximum Thor would be 80s, but that is a pretty cool figure. Hopefully they'll revisit the concept in the look I prefer.

I don't know anything at all about Visionaries, but I could be talked into getting their leader or whoever for the 80s Saturday Morning Round Table that's been building up.

I don't know. His excuse for no D&D wave 2 was lack of sales on wave 1, right? It seems like there are options between throwing Hasbro under the bus and saying your stuff failed. But now that you mention it, it is weird that NECA and Super7 both stopped at the same time. In any case, I...

@StuartGreen3, the U-Foes are the only reason I would ever want a Hulk figure. Give me a full U-Foes lineup, and I will go buy a Hulk at Ebay prices. And even then he'd just be background for them.
