  1. I don't think it is the same situation though. Yamato could only sell to the domestic market so of course they went for the most popular Valk. Bandai is no longer operating under that restriction. Bandai could actually ask their international customers what they want now. As a matter of fact there's already evidence they don't know their markets, the sales of the Figuarts MvC Cyclops conpletely blindsided them. The results of the poll in October due to those sales were so different they pushed up production of that line from one figure in 26 to at least four now and they rearranged the planned releases. They need a poll for Macross items for the world wide market. There's a high liklihood we would be getting very different schemes. I imagine some video game schemes instead.
  2. The director evidently loved Hedorah and has been saying it makes sense in this universe. If anything Hedorah will look bad-ass.
  3. In case anyone is interested the new con exclusive ryu/ken is up for sale, I posted it in the Storm thread. https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/45464-storm-collectibles-action-figure-line/page/9/#findComment-1753058
  4. If anyone is interested in getting the two new con-exclusive Ken/Ryu figures this guy is taking orders. I've never bought from him before but his old ebay has positive reviews. $49 per figure and $24 shipping to the US. https://www.instagram.com/krauseriihk?igsh=Z253czczazZtMWFh
  5. There's a very good chance we aren't seeing any other 19 variants if prices are dropping off that fast.
  6. There's look and there's feel. Ryu and Ken don't look like SSF2 but they are better plastic by a little. Looks like Storm just showed off Zangief and his look is hardly changed, Balrog too possibly. Cammy and Chun-Li won't work, the Alpha designs are wildly different. The rest are all Jada figures however, the plastic is better than ML but not quite Storm. I don't understand your problem with Fei Long either. On the other hand all of the con exclusive Ken's are rife with paint chipping, and I'll add my regular Storm Ken has that problem (Ryu too) as well as sloppy/inconsistent paintwork on thr Gi. Kens pants and top are different shades of red.
  7. If you're targeting SSF2 Storm isn't going to cut it, those are Alpha designs. Charley and Dan aren't even from SSF2 either.
  8. Looks goooooood!
  9. There are none.
  10. They're all $500+ now.
  11. Cancel. But given it's nearly inpossible to spurce one now it's more like they fraked my childhood.
  12. Well Amazon just officially screwed me out of my Treads...
  13. I've never seen that purple 11 before.
  14. I'm not sure about this. KaijuDaddy, on Youtube, has several inside sources and he says that the response to Cyclops alone was much bigger than they expected. So much so they put out that poll in October. And the response to that was so huge, especially from outside of Japan, they actually rearranged the order of releases and bumped up the schedule. Spider-Man was originally gping to be second half of 26. The current fourth scheduled figure was originally the third until the poll. In addition, they're looking at alternate colors. And it won't be under the Gamerverse moniker but they are now considering making the non-Marvel characters. Even if they're the less interesting figures, Kaiju recommend buying them to keep the sales up because Bandai is absolutely paying attention.
  15. ...speaking of having a lunch eaten... Not sure how I feel about it. P2 Wolverine is cool and all but the third SHF figure after Spiderman is Wolverine. Not sure I want to have another Hasbro if SHF are looking like they to do it better.
  16. ThreeZero is trying to eat Jada's lunch now... although it will take them 18 months to get around to this figure.
  17. To be fair, that was accurate to Arad's Valk in the show.
  18. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of time. Why do you have to change it? Why can't your shelf be a reflection of one of those Movie posters or Artwork where it's the same Valk/Pilot in different modes at different angles?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    How I wish they would finish releasing the Super and Armor parts for the 31's...
  21. That happened to me with my Mafex AoA Cyke and Weapon X. I submitted a ticket and was tikd there's a long queue and referred me to their website about the warehouse reshuffle. No apology about any of it. When I got an e-mail asking to review the help I got the next day I said I had paid for the item and shipping prior to the warehouse move, I had zero apology from the employee about the initial hang up or the new situation, and expect my package to be at the front of the queue. They shipped within 8 hours.
  22. Looks like I'll be at 6 31A's.
  23. I'm not sure where to try to pick this up. HLJ are no longer honest brokers, in my opinion.
