Do it!

All this enabling reminds me of the Tool song Vicarious.

'Cause I need to watch things die from a distance.
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies.

Here is would be, "Cause I need to watch Gaffers go broke from a distance, Vicariously I keep my money while they all go broke."

I have the recent Origin Leonidas. Paint and sculpt are amazing. Has a nice heft to it. Plenty of accessories to toy with. One of the most nice looking things I own.
Unfortunately the tail seems to be super brittle (they even include a few replacement joints as a backup) and you need to strengthen the hip joints yourself using either a sealer or super glue or it might not hold a pose well.
Still, very nice figure and I don't regret getting it.

Is it mostly die cast?

Kylo Ren... What should have been in the box the first time.. Edition.
Click to expand...

LOL. Pretty much.

I have brown boxes all in my basement and no room to display anything at the moment between moving. First world problems.

I'm collecting mostly Batman/some DC stuff.

2 BvS Batman
1 BvS Knightmare Batman
1 BvS Armored Batman
1 BvS Wonder Woman
1 BvS Superman
1 SS Joker w/Purple Coat
1 SS Joker Arkham Asylum
1 SS Harley exclusive
1 SS Deadshot on the way in
1 TDKR Batman DX
1 TDK Joker 2.0
1 TDKR Bane
1 TDKR Catwoman
1 TDK Batpod
1 TDK Tumbler

I'm missing TDK Twoface (which I'm debating if I want a recast to save $$), Bat demon/Scarecrow, and the rest I will probably pick off online since they came back in stock.

Good news, this month's SHF Phasma is not just a re-release with a shinier deco and a new spear accessory... she's actually much taller now, and a lot of minor sculpting differences when you look at them side by side.

First release was nice. Still have her displayed next to my monitor. I'll pick up the second version tho.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The bump in shininess is tiny.
The size increase was badly needed, though.

Must have pained them to make an entirely new mold for what is basically the same figure but larger.
Also, Darth BB-8?

NECA announces new Stephen King's IT figures... awesome.

Need a NECA Pennywise as soon as humanly possible!

Wonder if NECA will give us the entire loser's club?

Ugh, that Spider-Woman design actually looks even worse in figure form.

Has there been any word on the Corrin figmas new release date?

Has anyone seen the new Four Horsemen line?

Until now I've really liked all their figures, but these aliens look truly awful. Who designed this nonsense? No consistency between the models and while I love 60s and 70s alien designs, these miss the mark.

So disappointed.

Power Lords have been around since 1983, and the 4H relaunched the line with their own figures in 2013. This is actually wave 2, so they're not new in the slightest. I think they look pretty nice, especially when I saw them in person at SDCC. The Power Soldiers are instabuys for Haloid and I!

$524.99 for an unpainted translucent figure on a pretty base? That's pretty lame even for F4F.

There are actually 4 different versions of the statue. There's the Stealth Camouflage edition you posted, a Neon Green Stealth Camouflage version, a Regular version, and an Exclusive version that comes with an alternate sculpt with night vision goggles. Regular and Exclusive versions are pretty nice IMO.

Also, why is Poe Dameron dressed like Han Solo now?

Well sure, but the translucent ones should clearly not cost as much as the fully painted ones. They look like the "rare" variants you get from blind bags that are cast in a single color so the manufacturer doesn't have to pay for paint.

In your original post it seemed like you weren't aware of the other options. I was merely pointing out that they exist, not commenting on the price. But I do think the price of even the regular statue is a bit ridiculous.
