I think that Paul Smith look is a good compromise - white fur arms, neck, face, yellow/black bodysuit with the white fur fringe being part of a boot, black highlights on the tail. I would pick that version off a toy shelf without info and know it was Hepzibah. I would not know who that was in...

Definitely prefer the Hepzibah with the shorter hair like the image posted with the Black Cat figure - that's from her earliest appearances in the X-Men.

I had pizza there, it was pretty good (almost NY/NJ level). About a block from the square these pics are from...https://www.facebook.com/pizzeriadanteegentucca/

It isn't that big of a deal to me, but it is the sort of unforced error that probably shouldn't happen.

I think they have gone to a mix of solid cases of figures even for BAF lines as well as the more traditional mixed cases - which makes it easier for someone like BBTS and Amazon to order and track the figures they need in the quantities they want. But it may mean there are 25% more left arms...

Ch'od has 4 fingers, figure has 5.

I missed this thread (sorry @SDcomics), so commented in the London thread how this seems like a fascinating con to attend and about the only one I would like to get to (maybe SDCC or NYC - they seem too big at this point). I have been to Lucca as a tourist and it is a very cool walled city, and...

Is that a defense or an indictment? Most lines that don't complete teams do so because the line gets cancelled before they get to it. They have produced 1,000+ figures - even with a property as vast as Marvel they have had plenty of opportunity to not have as many teams left dangling. Some, I...

I have limited interest in attending any cons, but Lucca in Italy would be an exception. Not only is it a very cool ancient walled town, but it appears that the stuff is spread out around the whole city. Has anyone attended this in the past? https://maps2025.luccacomicsandgames.com/en

This is ultimately my complaint about team completion. I'd be annoyed if they never did the New Mutants for instance, but doing the Dani+ pack 6 years ago with apparently no plan to get the rest out is more annoying really. What other mainstream line with 10+ years does this? As noted, they...

Bumping in case anyone has heard any updates? Been a year since I pre-ordered the one figure from Wave 5 from their shop, which had at the time an ETA of Dec 2024. Also have a few on pre-order from BBTS, but since those aren't charged until they arrive that is more "when do they get there"...

Padme looks great and seems like a well needed upgrade. I need to compare the Shaak Ti to the older ones to decide if worth a purchase. I love that Vader as well - they did a Force Lightening-ed Vader in the past but this looks much nicer.

I do think of Owl with the tie/cravat/whatever it is more than this scarf but this is close enough for me. Still, I really am baffled why they do pick certain artwork to base figures on at times. In any case, really only a Gladiator figure away from me being pretty content with a DD villain...

That would be cool. I was pretty much unaware of this whole thing with Rutland, now I hope they end up in the MCU as well.

Interesting, I tend to root for the team that eliminated my team, it makes me feel just a bit better if the enemy goes on to smite the rest of their foes as well. "At least we were knocked out by the best team" so to speak. Compare this to Cleveland who lost to the Tigers who lost to the...

I had forgotten those Kirks were a full 7" height, which is right in line with a 1:10 scale - in my head they were closer to 6" to 6 1/4". The later TNG and DS9 figures must be closer to a 1:9 scale then - those definitely ran bigger. We will know soonish...

Always some great quotes to come from action figure discussions!

I think we won't know until in hand and can directly compare to both TOS (1:12) and TNG/DS9 (1:10) figures to see which it matches. My instinct is a 6 1/2" Kirk is going to be closer to the TNG/DS9 scale, but unfortunately all my Trek is boxed up so I can't take any pics. New wave up for...

Grimace is supposed to be a large sentient tastebud.

If your two options are scale with other non-Trek properties at 1:12 or scale with the previously successful Trek properties at 1:10, it seems a lot more likely that those who bought Trek before would embrace your new line if it allowed for extension/expansion of existing collections. (I point...

For some reason this does not surprise me...

Getting notices from BBTS that the price on at least some of the Wave 1 Nacelle Figures has been lowered from $32.99 to $28.99 - odd as I was fully prepared to see them go up in price given what they are doing with almost every figure using unique sculpts and the accessories promised...

It did seem a lot easier mentally for me to justify $100 or $120 for a 6 figure + BAF wave with a few figures I may not have truly wanted, but at $150+ at this point I feel like my price goodwill has been tapped out. Also, there appeared to be larger numbers of collectors a few years ago and...

I would never assume a re-release for any figure. I am still hoping for the Mindless Ones BAF to be made available for army building for example as that seems like a no-brainer to me for Pulse. I know we joke about something being fixed in the re-release but it probably happens a lot less than...

Who knows, but the proposed title led me to think that? His best story to me was that the characters kept wanting him to turn good, like Vader did in the end, but he never does (see Han, then later Rey) - I feel the biggest problem with the entire ST was once they killed Snoke, that his...
