Im still amazed they haven't gone after a food promotion which would probably get kids like crazy.
At the very least a shield potion or Slurp Juice soda or some type of juice in special packaging.
or that Mountain Dew hasn't done it themselves.
Not that im complaining, would be terrible for kids.
What would be the point? Kids are so busy playing Fortnite that they forget to eat.
Went to the Bluefin Sidewalk Sale to see what they had. Ended up buying these. Need to save up more money for their Spring Sale now.
These too. Super Samurai Figuarts was only $50. Masked Rider Meteor was only $2.
Then I went back the next day to get some Sailor Scouts. They were sold out of Sailor Moon though. Doh.

Saw a guy post on reddit get Beelzemon D-Arts for $40! I pretty much paid double for mine used which is still a pretty good price
My World of Nintendo 2.5" display with an assist from GoodSmile.
Notably missing Wario and Waluigi, although I think Waluigi sucks.
Some of my 2.5" I display with the 4" line because I feel they fit the scale better. Chain Chomp, Spike Shell, MK8 Bullet Bill, Baby Yoshis, alternate Bob-omb, extra Goomba. Missing Blooper and Boo, never seen either.
I also have a bunch of the alternate Mario and Luigi 2.5" figures but displaying them all was too cluttered. May just keep them in a box or use them for other diorama displays.

He's really the dumbest, laziest character. His name doesn't even make sense.
He just came into being because Wario didn't have his Luigi equivalent
It does...but only in Japanese.
"His name is a portmanteau of Luigi's name and the Japanese adjective warui (悪い) meaning "bad"; hence, a "bad Luigi"."
Stolen from Wikipedia.
Still, Wa-Luigi? That's not the same as flipping the M upside down.
His name should be Wuigi, if anything.
Wario's name is a good Japanese pun
Waluigi is a bad one. It's not even a pun.
It's funny cuz Wario is my favorite Mario character and Waluigi is my least liked. I used to be merely indifferent until he became a meme epidemic.
Very nice!My World of Nintendo 2.5" display with an assist from GoodSmile.

I just redid my display last night, so here it is. I don't have too many 2.5" figures myself. Mostly just whichever ones fit in with the 4" ones.
I didn't know what to do with these so I turned them into magnets. Pretty happy with that result.
[Edit - made some more magnets :)]
Very easy, very cheap way to display these in a way that looks nice and makes them practical.
You can buy a 6 pack of these little ceramic magnets for $2 anywhere and they're quite strong. All you need is a glue gun or some super glue and voila!
Got 8-bit Toad, DK and Link coming in the mail to round it off. Too bad there's no Samus!
There's an 8-Bit Goomba but it must be pretty rare because I can't find one for less than $20 and I won't pay that so :P
I have a bunch of these WON Mario Kart toys, too, and I don't know what to do with them either so I think I'm going to turn my fridge into a Mario Kart track.
I'm trying to find fridge magnets in the shape of race track pieces that can be moved around to create your own track. This exists but the scale is too small for the Mario Kart racers.
If anyone knows where I can order something similar online please let me know!
I imagine kids would find re-arranging the track and playing with the racers to be highly entertaining.
I really want the Bowser Jr. w/ Bob-omb because his Bob is much better scaled for the 2.5 line.
I was thinking about using that Amiibo stand myself but it's quite big!
I love that 6" Bowser toy. Such a satisfyingly hefty chunk of plastic.
I actually didn't know there was a 3.25" Goomba until last night. So now I have to get that shit too.

Ham does what World of Nintendon't
Just finished making this Para-Goomba. Easy-peasy. 2.5" Goomba + 2.5" Para-Troopa Wings (although I think the 3.25" version's wings might be even better in hindsight. Most key art shows the wings being bigger). Used a candle to heat up a big nail and made two holes in the back like the ones on the Koopa.
If you have a spare set of Koopa Troopa wings because you aren't displaying them on a Green Shell this is a no-brainer mod
I'll probably smooth down the whitened edges of the holes because they bother me, but once I get a 3.25" Red Troopa I'll be swapping out these wings with the Green's so I'll have to widen the holes a little more anyway.

This is my first Amazing Yamaguchi figure, and even though the joints are insane, Psylocke looks pretty great.
Hair looks pretty cool. Wonder if this will be one of the last Asian Psylocke figures made.
Bought one figure last month, the Tung Mung Not-Omnimon X. Not a flawless figure but it's still pretty good and will probably be the only hig-end version of this character made for a good while.

I found the Bowser Jr. at a Target (or was it a Walmart or Toys "R" Us?) a few months ago, I think. I know there's also the other version with the paint brush, but I'm not sure if I saw that in stores or not.
The amiibo stand is great. I got mine for maybe $6 or so late last year at GameStop while I was getting an extra Switch controller. Love it. My older brother also got one later.
I just got the Bowser recently at GameStop in the Bowser's Lava Battle Playset. Definitely one of my favorite figures now.
Which ones are rare? I just buy whatever I see in stores, and I don't know much about rarity. Oh, yeah, I also have the 8-bit Mario and Bowser two-pack from Walgreens.

They should stop showing and start shipping. I now have 3 times as many Overwatch figma pre-ordered as I do in hand.https://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/7828/figma+Pharah.html

Nice pick up! I was pretty tempted by him but there were so many expensive toys to buy during his release period (plus I'm not 100% with the design) so I skipped him. Might get hteir Star Saber, though.
God he looks gorgeous as well. Did Chemical Attack also design this dude? His and Tarn's proportions look fucking delicious.Nice pick up!

Hot Toys is rereleasing the Hall of Armor set. Not sure if anyone was looking for it but at least you don't have to spend $200 on one.
Set of 7 for $765: https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/marvel-hall-of-armor-set-of-7-hot-toys-904265/

I really admire Hot Toys refusal to let go of the Iron Man money train.
Ranging in price from $125 (single) to $765 (6-pack).

I canceled my Mezco Hulk preorder. The final product is fucking trash all around.
The Figuarts has great articulation but looks bad so I'm not going to order that instead.
I planned on selling the ML one when my Mezco order came in. It's one of the worst ML MCU figures in a long time. I'll probably sell it anyway and just not have a gladiator Hulk.

Naw, I'm ride or die for 1/12. I stopped even buying NECA stuff because of the larger scale.

Very cool. I recently got turned onto the whole idea of using magnets for things as well. I had been pondering forever about having a good way to display a lot at once and came up with a decent solution I think.
Got some nice display cabinets cheap off of craigslist and then added some painted sheet metal into them to use as magnetic surface. Bought a bunch of these magnetic display hooks and got a really cool setup as a result.
This allows for easily changeable displays which is something I also really wanted. Plus - combine them with a whiteboard and some markers, and you can make some cool setups.
I don't know what this thing is but it's pretty cool
Wait.....is this vore?

That's Tesarus from the IDW Transformers comics. Character never got an official figure (and probably never will) so third party toy makers are filling the hole (hyuck hyuck). Interesting that they went with Arcee as the victim since those two characters never met >.>
The one you linked is by Iron Factory and is pretty small as the company specializes in smaller scale figures. Mastermind Creations are also making one that's larger but it still has a way to go before being ready for release.
Dude, that looks like the most uncomfortable fleshlight of all time.
That sucks, dude.
Never heard of a website dedicated to this, but maybe you can contact some of kitbashers at TFW2005 and other sites and see if they're willing to take a look at your item and fix it.

"Aggressively pursue" means we about to see a gang war between toy companies.
Mattel needs to keep their poorly articulated paws away from the Marvel license.
This made me happy for like 2 seconds until I saw it was going to Spin Master...
