Re: S.H. Figurarts Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Wow, that reminds me in a vague way of Teen Wolf. I'm going to laugh every time I see the US version now. 1, 2 show me the goods!!!

Re: What are you watching? The sequel? Masterchef Australia Bladerunner 5 disc edition Thundercats (old and new)

Can be, depends on the shops you hit. I've frequented one shop and he usually gives me a bit of a discount. You can also be a "VIP member" of some shops and they build in a discount if you pay ahead of time. A lot of Chinese businesses operate in a similar fashion. Lately things have gotten...

There are actually a bunch of shops that sell Hot Toys in Shanghai. The best place to go is this underground shopping center at the corner of Chang le Rd. and Chengdu Rd.

Then what is the Legion of Superheroes 12 pack but fan service? I think you are a little off base about his commitment to DC. I don't think they even green light the retro line without commitment. 20 waves of figures plus numbers of two and five packs is commitment. You can say what you will...

I bought the sub because I do want the figures. I hate Mattel for all the myriad ways they ****ed this line up. They certainly deserve credit for the things they did right in terms of using the Horsemen and having Super Powers be their template. They also deserve all the stick anyone wants to...

Re: Joker PF I'm overjoyed. I was pretty close to buying the DC Direct version, but I am glad I waited. Still, the museum quality Harley Quinn from DC Direct looks pretty good and would make a nice companion piece. This is a definite buy to be sure. Love the pose, love the expression. A gun...

My wife is going to kill me. I have already told her this might be coming, but now that it is a reality I have to find space and money. Hard choices my friends...hard f'n choices. Batman is the primary spot in my collection, it looks like some other characters are taking the fall.

Re: HOT TOYS BLUE IRON MAN AT SDCC stealth? What kills me about the Stealth Iron Man is that over a year ago I made this from a Mark II... I don't regret making it, but I might have gone for a more gonzo choice.

I am slightly disappointed with this one. I picked it up today and while the overall is nice, there are a few bits and bobs that keep me from loving this one. Since his boots are two pieces like Ezio's, he doesn't hold his balance as well due to the very top heavy nature of the figure. Add onto...

Basically this means a slightly updated Assasin's Creed 1 with Assasin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood mechanics. Color me mildly excited/disappointed. I love the idea of playing as Altair with the improved gameplay a la sections of 2, but Ubisoft really should focus on creating another leap forward...

Grabbed both today from a local shop in Shanghai. The ROTJ is such a noticeable improvement from the last edition. The weathering, the costume fit, it just looks fantastic. I grabbed Jango too. His suit is very purple. I have to check in on that scene. The box says Geonosis ver. on it, so there...

I feel like Mass Effect is one of those licenses that is dense and rich enough for an amazing expanded universe through all kinds of media, but unless it gets that lightning in a bottle companion piece (i.e. amazing movie) it won't reach the level at which companies are willing to throw tons of...

I don't agree at all. DC Direct does great work. I don't miss the articulation in the figures. Yes, I buy the Green Lantern figures that evidently no else is buying. They look awesome. As far as screwing over fans, I am pissed about Mass Effect too, but what else are you talking about IrishJedi...

I picked up the 12" Ultimate Sam. It's fun. I don't know if it is worth the $39.99 they are charging for it, but I really couldn't resist. Tons of accessories on this one to help make up the price point. I think Michael Crawford was right about the 3 3/4" line being the one to get. That way you...

I'm not as vehemently against the Kubricks. When I think about the original TRON figures, they kind of take me back to those. I don't think I can justify the price tag on the RAH's though. I can only hope the helmets light up. For that price they almost have to.

Re: Hot Toys's DX04 - Enter the Dragon: Bruce Lee 1/6th scale Collectible Figure This is an overall response to a lot of the comments in this thread, not just about the above quotation. Hollywood's racism of the time doesn't change the fact that he was a superstar in Asia and would have...

I'm crossing my fingers for the twins. I think we are absolutely guaranteed: Neo Trinity Agent Smith likely: Morpheus Twins Hope for hope's sake: Oracle's guardian Sentinel There are a lot of great options for characters but I know there is a limit to how many figures they will push for...

Sweet Jeebus, I am so happy. I'm guessing a price tag of at least $225.00 for the bike. Unfortunately that may be a gracious estimate. I would say Kaneda hits at around $165.00 to $179.00 for US mark up. Maybe $145.00 if you are buying in Asia. We will see. I didn't think it was possible to...

I'm all jacked up about this one. I had been planning a custom of Michael with tats for some time and I am now very happy to leave that to the people with the skills and the resources who will blow away anything I could have managed on my own. I love my Hot Toys versions, but even Yulli has...
