This thing looks pretty cool. Don't think I'll buy it though, at least not for MSRP.

If you live in the US, it's probably cheaper to get it domestically. At least BBTS has it up for 139.99 (and they list the roundhammer too):

That's a lot of money for something I've never seen before from a game that isn't even out yet, though.

Not from freedom land so Ami and co are my best option.
And I like it when companies try new ideas instead of rehashing the same characters and designs. I love Mazinger but sometimes it feels like there's a little bit too many toys for it.

Anyone need a cheap WON 4" Wario figure? Only catch is that it's cursed.

He's looking good and feeling good.
Toy is in good condition.
....... but he is possessed with a spirit of pure darkness.
The spirits name is Sessorseliominon.
Don't say it's name while figure is cloaked in darkness.
Figure displays perfectly.
*not recommended for psychic children



Not my listing, just found it amusing

Embedding video should be removed from this forum's features.
Embedded videos don't play most of the time.
That one actually works, which is weird.

ah thanks =) hype!

just for reference in case anyone wants to know where this is from: and the backstory is up to this point no ever released this color scheme due to very strict licencing agreement in place. Somehow bandai made a miracle (or overpaid) and releasing it to us in March 2019 =)


Gosh, is there any current anime that looks like this? I adore the art style in this and DYRL.

What, you have something against modern anime?

Kidding aside, you'd be hard pressed to find anything like that because the whole industry's style changed. Your best bet are throwback stuff meant to look like what came before them like UC Gundam or a very late adaption to a manga from the 80s.

love the hand drawn artwork =)

I'm bummed I missed out on the Hi-Metal R Macross Hikaru VF-4 back in October...now even moreso after seeing this posted recently:



Any recommendations for last-minute pre-orders? I think nin-nin-game and Nippon-Yasaan might still have it available (but will have to pay quite a bit more than retail)...davidwhangchoi, thoughts? Thanks!


in case you didn't see it on MW, the vf-4 up on amazon jyp
11,556 yen + 1200 yen shipping to the United States

Got these today : )

Big fan of the retro blister packing so will be keeping them nice and mint and hanging on my display pegs (Plus I need to put more shelves up lol - running out of room!)

If you like the character designs and not just the animation, look for anything with character designs by Haruhiko Mikimoto, who did Macross. The last thing I remember him doing was Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress.

If it's the animation style, yeah you're going to have to go back a few. Luckily Mikimoto's got a bunch of older stuff that has great animation like Macross: Do You Remember Love (I'm not even sure this is available legally in the West anymore though), Megazone 23, Gundam 0080 and Gunbuster.

Yamato/Arcadia had this back in the day...

Yamato-VF-4-Promo1.jpg


But it was in the PSOne Macross VF-X colorway, not in the Fashback 2012 Hikaru color scheme.

I have one myself, very nice...from what I hear Bandai's Hi-Metal R is practically a scaled-down version of this.

Just saw this right now, pre-ordered! Thanks for looking out, David! =)
Edit: looks like I ordered it for a little bit more through a 3rd-party seller Toy Selection but the order is fulfilled by Amazon.co.jp. Hope it's ok...!
hey congrats! if it let you check out with amazon global shipping, you're good

After a long hiatus, Hot Toys is back! Just saw this pop up on their Facebook page.

It looks fucking amazing. I was thinking about grabbing only the SW villains but Qui-Gon Jinn makes me want to reconsider. Mace will probably look awesome too whenever it comes. But I really don't want to go down this road and commit to a crazy expensive collection. Decisions, decisions.

this week's haul is here!

I like that the VF-4 box is windoless. I wish all hi-metal R boxes were like this.

Hey everyone.
Just wanted to stop by and see if anyone wanted these promo codes from Sideshow Collectibles. I ordered the life-size Infinity Gauntlet they had on the site about a year ago (which is awesome) and recently I received in the mail a free fancy box with some good promo codes and a book called "Inside the Sideshow Studio". I don't plan on using any of these codes in the near future so I thought I would offer them up to you all. Just PM me which one you want and I'll send the code your way.

$75 off In-Stock Premium Format Figures (Select items valued over $500 only)
$50 off (select in-stock items only)
$25 off In-Stock Curated Collectibles (select items valued over $200 only)
$10 off Lifestyle Items (select apparel, hats, watches, necklaces, etc.)

Not sure if they're announcing anything new this week, but Hot Toys did post some final product photos for the Infinity War version of Iron Man.

The joints are kinda stiff and clunky, but goddam it looks so good.

I kinda regret ordering the First4Figures PVC statue now, I like the look of this one more. If only it had a stand for flight poses.

Heh, I just realized the back and front feet are reversed. How embarrassing. Ankle articulation is much better now.

That Thanos is mine. Glad I waited for the full armor version and skipped out on the barebones Infinity War version.

I might get the Mark 85 from End Game, but looks a bit too similar to the Mark 50 for my tastes. Feel likes I am buying a repaint of the Mark 50. I need to see how different War Machine looks in End Game before I decided if I want to pick up the 85. Having the complete Iron Man/War Machine pair from IW and EG does tickle my completion-ist heart.

For fucking real man. Dropping eighty on Thanos in April, hundred-thirty in May for Mk 50 again and Cap. Possibly another 60 dollars in May for Ronin.
