Well, the Miniwork Aragorn has been released. The likeness is pretty great, at least in terms of the sculpt: But the paint is pretty basic looking, specially when compared to the original prototype. The head is kinda big for the body, and the body overall looks pretty stumpy. The clothes look...

I'm pretty sure most of Mattel's output will be essentially what Spin Master has been doing - kid's stuff, roleplay items, etc. But I'm sure they'll make a Marvel Legends type line for "collectors" as well, but in reality, it'll be for ages 4+ just like hasbro. And with that comes a set of...

As far as I know, Gundamit and 5ktoys are pretty trust worthy, but this is all from what I've heard other people say, I haven't bought anything there yet.

What wave does this align to? They usually do two waves a year, don't they? Haven't we had one already? or maybe I'm misremembering things.

Honestly, if these were $25, I would say, "Go nuts!". But at $101, I'm not even sure if I'll complete the team. Maybe they're already talking about when hasbro's license stops, so they can lower the price?

Never seen it but the red-suit girl looks fun. Tons of expressive faceplates. They just fully revealed the new Harry Potter figures. I have to say, I have been waiting almost 20 years for a good figure of that Triwizard Harry. Apart from the glasses being molded to his face, he looks great. The...

I don't really remember a time this was happening. I mean sometimes a few releases line up nicely, a marvel legends alongside a mafex or something. Or, you know, lego and such. But two action figure lines, doing the same brand, same characters, same scale, same price? Not really. There's usually...

There's not a lot of figures I would want from Mattel, but the ones I do want, I want them done good. I want good superhero proportions, good anatomy, great facesculpts and great face prints. I want real good, modern articulation. Jada style or better; toe articulation, barbell ab joint and...

Just wanted to discuss the upcoming release of the Lord of the Rings SHF figures and didn't see where. Didn't want to be insensitive to the Diamond situation so I didn't want to just talk about this in that thread. There's new photos of the upcoming Aragorn, thanks to IsaacWongToys, and...

The price is honestly insane (I mean, 2 $25 figures plus a base = $109?!?)... but somehow I still really want it. We know that the single releases won't get all those sweet extra accessories like the extra heads, the lightsaber effects, or maybe even the extra force hands, and that's without...

Well their recent Darth Maul had them ballpeg wrists and he has decent range all around. He can't point the sword forward though, so these may not be able to do that either. But apart from that, the ballpeg really does allow for better range. I really liked these, but there's some problems...

Yeah they did a strange articulation design on this one. An ab-crunch, with this armor design? The elbows could have been more filled-in, too. And I'm pretty sure he's gonna have a hard time holding his sword with two hands. But the accessories really make this figure. 4 swords, the potion, igni...

I honestly wish Neca or SH Figuarts did movie figures. No one's really given us highly detailed, well articulated, accurate GBs with good likenesses in 1/12. I personally think the hasbro busters are the most decently accurate for the price, but still, the soft sculpts and non-accurate proton...

I really wonder why DST was in financial troubles in the first place. Were the figures not selling well enough, or did they invest too much in molds or production, or what? It's all quite a shame.

He looks really good and I do want it, but I also kinda want the upcoming Titan Comics Conan. If they can manage to make him as good as what they've shown, man it's gonna look so savage. And of course the mythic legions barbarian looks so good. Either way we're eating good with Conan this year!

Yeah hasbro's really doing some good work here. They've improved engineering, sculpts and faces so much in honestly quite a short time, and the results show it. Farmboy Luke can do some poses some sh figuarts Jedis can't. That's insane at this price point. Better plastics, better faceprint...

Just got VC Mando for like $11 bucks, which is the price I feel like all vintage collection figures should be at. Also got spin master's Aloy for like $40, which is not really a deal but where I live, she's usually far more expensive so it feels like a win to me!

Just got Aloy for a decent price, finally. She's amazing. Her articulation just flows so nicely into poses. Her face plates add so much expression and variety to the figure, and the articulated hair, oh man. She's more expressive than pretty much any other figure in my collection. She really...

I really hate exclusives, of any kind. The 4H seem to relish the fact that they're making a really desirable figure like the valiant knight, the serpent men or not-Conan exclusive. Exclusives suck for all collectors, even the ones attending the cons. It seems pretty stupid, to me at least, to...

Funny that we now have two mini hot toys Aragorns coming: Both 1/12, both with soft goods that look great at least in promo pics, and both with not-very-good likeness to Viggo Mortensen. But the Hellcat figure has actual hair, which could be made to look more action-y and dirty. Both...

I would love to see Shaggy in his red shirt, maybe with Dracula from Reluctant Werewolf in the wave too. That was honestly a great design for Dracula and a movie I saw a ton with my brother. I also absolutely loved the Brothers Boo movie as a kid!

Does anybody know what happened to the HiPlay amazon store? They had all the cool third party figures, imported through amazon to my country. I'd bought from them before and it was really smooth and worry-less. Now they seem to be gone, at least from amazon.

One of my grails is the Kaiyodo Revoltech Gothic Field Armor, silver edition. I wanted it for years and I finally got it in 2022 used but for a reasonable price. Probably the best (maybe the only one) historical knight figure in 1/12. I also got a new, in-package ToyFare convention exclusive...

I only have the Kratos but he's quickly become my favorite Kratos, and I love the Neca ones. He's just more fun to pose around, he poses easily and stands well in the poses. I gave him a slight repaint and he looks awesome. His weapons are a bit too small and under-detailed, though. But yeah, I...

I'm pretty sure there have been factory leaks of Obi Wan and maybe Anakin, but a few youtubers who follow the leak scene do say they're coming soon. The fact hasbro didn't reveal them in the Star Wars convention this past weekend was very strange to me. But they may be leaving some stuff out...
