Mommar Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Michelangelo finally showed up today. Once again I'm reminded how disappointing the execution of these figures are. There's very little dynamicism between the ball joint ankles and limited hips. Also Bandai really dropped the ball with hands for Raph and Mikey. Leo and Don only need hands for gripping but Raph and Mikey both can hold their weapons in multiple configurations and it's just not possible without forcing the open hands to get something as simple as Mikey holding the chucks folded together handle to handle. I'm concerned the plastic will be overstrained if I leave him like that. And it's entirely impossible for him to hold them crossed over between two fingers. Michelangelo is the most fun to pose overall, IMO. Quote
Tking22 Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 So is Hawkeye coming out or not? I've had a prep in progress status at NY since January 26, and he still hasn't shipped or moved since then. Also, this is exciting. http://news.toyark.com/2017/02/02/tamashii-nations-announces-sh-figuarts-spider-man-homecoming-238100 Spider-Man Homecoming Figuarts! I guess they're skipping the Civil War version, which is fine, his suit is pretty much identical anyway. Though I'm getting a bit worried we may not get anything else in the Civil War line, it's looking skimp, where's my Winter Soldier and Falcon? Oh and for anyone that cares and likes throwing money away, Mafex also announced their Homecoming Spidey figure, it will be floppy, have lots of accessories, and fall apart. Quote
Mommar Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Supposedly Hawkeye was delayed until February sometime. Maybe NY has a automated system and they never updated the release date so we all got the e-mail and system update? Yeah, we still don't have Figuarts Vision, Falcon, Bucky or Scarlet Witch. Quote
Mommar Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Hawkeye shipped at Midnight Mountain Time this morning! Quote

Which means mine ships out in a day or two cause I didn't choose EMS shipping. Well at least this completes the first Avengers movie (plus Black Panther). Quote

Black Valkyrie Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Upcoming new S.H. Figuarts from SFV. Quote

I'm not a super fan of some of the SFV redesigns so I will probably only go for the ones that look somewhat similar to their Super Street Fighter II and Street Fighter IV counterparts... ..and Ken and Juri because I played both of them somewhat extensively.

Mommar Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) What's better than pics? Video! Shredder. Edited February 18, 2017 by Mommar Quote
Scyla Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 It makes me sad and anxious that there is no release date announced for Shredder and no images of additional figures in the TMNT line. Where is Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, the Foot Clan, Slash, Metalhead..... Quote

Last year when Leonwas first announced the ToyPizza guys brought up makig Casey Jones and one of the people they interviewed was really into that idea. I Suppose if they dirn't sell well, and I have some big problems with the Turtles myself, maybe Shredder isnthe last they felt like making. Quote
Mommar Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Hawkeye finally arrivd today. Interesting figure. He has ratchets in his hip joints, presumably so his rubberized jacket doesn't push his legs out of place when posd. It works. Kinda too bad he can only hold his bow in the fixed right hands. No loose arrows either. Mind the crap in the background, I'm visiting my Mom right now. His ankle rocker blows. Edited February 22, 2017 by Mommar Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 For some weird reasons, that Hawkeye looks more like Jason Bateman or Nathan Fillion. Quote
Mommar Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 It's just the pics, it looks like Jeremy Renner in person. Quote
Big s Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I do see Nathan Fillion, but I think it the way the hair looks and the angle. I've seen the figure in person as well and it looks very close to what it should. Quote
Mommar Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 He's pretty fun to pose, actually. Way better than Black Panther, though he is oddly back heavy. Quote
Mommar Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Well, supposedly War Machine is preparation in progress. I guess we'll see if NY keeps me waiting for weeks on end or if that was some odd fluke with Arcadia stuff. Quote
Mommar Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Has anybody heard if the Death Trooper Specialist will be released stand-alone? http://news.toyark.com/2017/02/24/japanese-rogue-one-blu-ray-sh-figuarts-death-trooper-244684 Quote

Mommar Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I wasn't home to receive SHF Han Solo today. But review online kinda show some stupid issues with it. The primary one being that his gun holster pegs into his thigh and looks horrible if you try to use that leg because you have to unpeg it and it really shows. Quote
Big s Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I was surprised that the new version of the old Vegeta sold out before the Starwars stuff. Quote
