  1. Haha, gotta love that guy. He was great in the cartoon and original mini comics.
  2. It’s the new Mega Construx version. Perfect for me because I have no space, budget or desire for a regular size MOTU collection. Castle Greyskull is gonna be tough to find a place for when that comes out.
  3. All good. If you don’t notice and it doesn’t bother you then even better for you. It looks unnatural to me because most figures with double joins do it in way that looks like there is only one bend point like it is a joint within a joint where on many Mezco figures, you can see one joint then some space between the first and second joint so it looks like an arc instead of a sharp bend. You can kind of see it here. I don’t get a lot of other nitpicks so Nbd, don’t know why this one bothers me.
  4. My first figure of 2019 arrived today. The mushroom-cloud-layin' motherf***er, himself
  5. I don’t have any of those so I guess I missed out. So when you bend the elbows on all of those, you can’t see the long double joint? Anyways, I’m a fan of what Mezco is doing with a lot of these characters. Some of their design choices don’t work for me and their business model and website when trying to order last min out of nowhere exclusives leave a lot to be desired but some of their figures look to good to pass up. This Iron Man and the Stealth version will both be mine!
  6. My gripe will almost all the clothed figures is the shoulder and elbow joints look horrible even though hidden by fabric. Strange does seem improved and maybe the Spidey figures but I haven't messed with them enough yet.
  7. Glad people are loving the One:12 Iron Man! I haven’t shipped mine yet but look forward to it. Ironic that Mezco’s specialty in One:12 is clothes figures yet most of those have issues and this one seems to be hailed as their best figure to date. I hope it helps them improve the other figures.
  8. Better than any SOC or anything else from Bandai (Metal Build) even with the annoyances?! Wow, that is very high praise. Nice to hear.
  9. My last item received from 2018 thats how the shipping box looked on my porch. Thank goodness the box inside wasn't damaged.

    Very nice! Now I kinda want to get a collection of 1/100 real life fighter models. Damn.
  11. Yep, the shipping box is barley thicker than the toy box paper. No filler at all but it was wrapped to a board on the bottom so I guess that saved it from completely falling out of the shipper.
  12. Nice pics and impressions from everyone, thanks! Just wondering, did anyone else get one from Amazon with the box looking like this? Thankfully the box inside was pristine but damn!

    Yep, Monster shipping is painful but oh so worth it! It’s basically a high end SOC level toy in the HMR line.
  14. All good. NY also has the lowest initial preorder price by far. Gotta give and take. I’m just glad we have options and don’t need to pay a middle man import fee.
  15. It’s intersting that NY gets chastised for raising the shipping price but when CDJ does it, nbd. I almost forgot I had an order with CDJ. Cool!
  16. I had that happen before and it was just to indicate the communication about the extra fee. As long as you paid for the item and extra shipping, don’t worry about it.
  17. Looks fantastic (both of them)! Obviously, we’re all looking forward to having this new one in hand though. There is something funny about the white one bent over with the black one behind it in that pic.
  18. Haha, yeah...it's just a different business model and in the end, if you got an initial preorder in, it should still end up cheaper than most other places. I didn't get an order in with NY but out of the hundreds of orders I've had with them, they've only asked for additional shipping maybe three times for a combined amount of under $20. That's a lot less than the amount I have saved by shopping with them. My amiami shipping bill probably won't be pretty, especially since they don't have a ferry option.
  19. Nice holiday gifts! I need to get my hands on some of those reissue Bumblebees!
  20. I finally got a Hovertank driver to go with the tank Haven’t opened the tank yet but at least now I have a better reason to. Has anyone actually seen these figures in store?
