Well, the ones Good Smile made were non-poseable scale figures designed by James Jean. They were about $130 each.
Oops, maybe I meant Figuarts, not Figma. The possible ones that you can buy at Barnes & Noble.
Sideshow showed off new DC Trinity Premium Format Figures today:
I might bite on all three depending on how well they fit together. It's not everyday that someone releases a Superman statue that depicts him holding what could very well be a decapitated Brainiac head.
Did NECA switch factories or something? I saw the Friday the 13th Part 3 Jason in a store. It should look very similar to the one for The Final Chapter.
It looked like a cheap knockoff of the Final Chapter figure. I know it wasn't a knockoff because that store wouldn't be getting knockoffs. But if I didn't know better...

Finally got my hand on a SOC SPEC Falguen. I was kinda hoping Fax Factory would follow their Max Gokin Dragonar with it but they seem to have abandoned that line so oh well.
SOC SPEC was a short lived line of figures based on "real robots' (Think Gundam) whose main defining feature was having a die-cast inner frame that can be revealed by removing the outer plastic parts of a figure, similair to the metal build line. While I didn't care for most of them the Falguen caught my eye and I recently found it for a decent price and made a bit of an impulse buy. Funny thing is that's one of the few that maybe due to the nature of the design can't remove the plastic frame, except for on the legs.
Overall I really like it. Articulation is less than ideal and is limited near the hip areas as the skirt is a solid chunk of plastic that gets in the way a lot so you don't have as much flexibility with the legs as you should and can't twist the abdominal area much because of it. Sculpt is really nice though and I love the colors, especially the exposed diecast parts.
I feel the figure shines most when you attach the second pair of wings which are equipped with a bunch of destruction goodies. They make it kinda back heavy but the extra presence is worth it.

Messi I can't believe I'm doing this for you.

I look forward to a creepy selfie with her sleeping and he slides the ring on her finger with a thumbs up.
If she comes with more than one head, you can bet one's going to be exclusive.
That's fine by me. I'm gonna smash the preorder button the second it's live. I'm not missing this one like the last time.
Real talk. Do you think that matters to me?
Yes :(. I was a poor boy who didn't understand that these things don't stay forever and at that point shipping was too much for me at $150.
I bought an Iron Man figure that expensive and I love Iron Man a lot less than Messi loves Harley.
I'm saving for the prime one Harley and XM Catwoman figures.
Jesus you're an easy mark. You know Sideshow is doing another Poison Ivy Premium Format too, right?
There are two standard heads and a third head that's exclusive.
Holy shit at that price.
There were actually a few reveals from the 12 Days of Sideshow so far that I find interesting:
What's crazy is that a lot of these reveals are revamps of characters they've already done. Joker, Batman, Wonder Woman, Black Widow, Elektra, Poison Ivy, etc. etc. Even their Court of the Dead line is starting to see redesigns of characters who already got PFs.
Isn't this normal, to hook newcomers who otherwise wouldn't be able to get/afford the older versions, as well as milk fans of the characters?
The Batman chest looks like it will skew closer to New 52 design, which is a bit disappointing since the new PF Superman is the Reborn version, and I love the yellow outline around the bat symbol of the Rebirth design.
