    Marvel 1/6 Scale (Mondo, Hot Toys, etc.)

    Here's a surprise. Entertainment Earth just listed preorders for Mondo's Logan, previously a SDCC 2023 exclusive. I don't know if this is a new production run or if it's leftover stock, but if you missed him and regretted it looks like you have another chance...

    Longbox Heroes 1/12 Scale

    That might be my favorite episode of The Tick. He'd be high on my list of priorities.

    That can play episodes of the show and the Commodore version of the video game!

    Marvel Legends Gamerverse

    Definitely wasn't expecting much out of the articulation, but was expecting a little more. That toe joint is pretty bad too. I still think it's silly they didn't give us a more appropriate effect part. Even if it had to go on a stand to work properly. Still, the figure does have some awesome...

    Longbox Heroes 1/12 Scale

    I would guess they can do a generic superhero body that, with overlays, can get us some characters from The Tick (mostly thinking of Die Fledermaus and Bullet. Sewer Urchin is tough because of the spines on his arms and legs, but if the line sells they can figure it out. Arthur is a must though...

    I definitely would not be interested at that price, but I don't think that's a certainty at this point. She'll be, at minimum, $101, and I would guess some version of her will be available at that price. I'm honestly not even interested there. I'll be good with the four busters. Her deluxe could...

    S.H. Figuarts Marvel Figures

    I haven't seen many SHF or MAFEX sell out on BBTS for awhile. They may not even have to submit their final order to Bandai for a little while, and if that's the case, it will stay open until then. Cyclops sold extremely fast on the import shops as well, and he's still available on BBTS.

    He's either dumb or just knows a good grift when he sees one.

    I haven't personally seen any evidence they do. Compare this Vegeta to this one, which I own both of, and I can tell you the second one has way better range of motion at the hips than the one with the different layers. The first one, we'll call Blue Vegeta, can't do splits out to the side and...

    It's only a surprise because he's about as big a name as there is in the online Toy Community. Still, if you're not on YouTube much (especially if you're not into YouTube toy content) then he's not hard to miss. Secret Galaxy was previously known as Toy Galaxy. Dan was also featured on The Toys...

    NECA 2012 Turtles

    It is still August so I assume most had written this Friday off, but just for the sake of clarity, no 2012 turtles in the first Fall Geek Out drop. Only Lego Gizmo, if that's your thing.

    Not really. Only that Alex said he is "living in Real Ghostbusters" right now, as in, they have a lot more planned past Janine. He also did clarify (not sure if it had been already, but it was assumed) that Janine is her own deluxe offering. I don't know if that means some legs and a desk are...

    My orders with EE seem to always end up with either them canceling or me canceling. I did receive one of the NECA quarter scale toon turtles from them a couple of years ago. I went back through my account to see what the last item they had shipped me was and it turned out to be...The Monarch and...

    U.S. Politics

    I think so. They also had their own convention last year in New Hampshire. I went by with my kids, bought some stuff, saw the Boba collection, and chatted with Dan for a bit. Seemed like a pretty genuine guy. I should have awkwardly asked if we could be friends and hang out.

    Most Wanted 1/12 scale figures

    The Tick has been number 1 for me for years, but it looks like that is becoming a reality via BBTS and FMF. Albeit very slowly. After that it’s definitely Venture Bros. Apparently we got those Mego style figures years ago because the creators are both not into toys and because the aesthetic of...

    Veebs has a sitdown with Alex Brewer of Mondo who sculpted all of the figures in their RGB line. Pretty fun talk, Alex is real nice guy and has a good story for getting into the industry. He did talk about the price of these a little, mostly just to note that the high price point allowed them to...

    S.H. Figuarts Marvel Figures

    Spider-Man is now up on BBTS. $100, $10 NRD required. No warning of any tariff surcharge, but that doesn't mean one couldn't be tacked on eventually. They do refund the NRD if you decide to cancel because of an additional charge. I think I'll wait to see what Amazon lists him for...

    That's what they've been doing and will continue to do. The de minimis removal has nothing to do with BBTS. They still take-in everything in China and have it loaded into a shipping container and brought to their warehouse. They pay a tariff fee on the container and pass some of that onto the...

    S.H. Figuarts Marvel Figures

    I think the important thing to understand is that literally no one knows what will happen or what the conditions will be when the item is ready to ship. All you can do is do what feels right for you. Most of these businesses are unlikely to stick you with an absurd bill when the time comes...

    S.H. Figuarts Marvel Figures

    Why would they be likely to do that? BBTS, EE, etc. would bring these over in bulk and pay the tariff fee on the whole container, not 80 bucks an item. And if the fees are outrageous to the point where it's not viable, they'll do what the importers are doing and keep them overseas until it makes...

    Maybe they'll just stick it on a raft and hope for the best? Like the old message in a bottle.

    I believe Havok and Polaris are rumored for the X-Men '97 line, or there's a leak and we're assuming they're headed for that line. I don't remember the specifics, but nothing official is out there yet. EDIT: According to Beamish's handy rumor thread, the 2-pack is rumored for this year and...

    Tracking toy tariffs

    I think that is exactly what is happening. Companies that can afford to wait and see are going to do so, only the ones that can't are going to try to ram their products through.
