figma Phoenix Wright came in. I like him quite a bit. His shoes are nice and shiny and he comes with a good deal off stuff too. I still think that face being GSC exclusive is BS but I paid for it anyway so I guess I'm part of the problem. Only real beef is his hands are awkward to pose properly and the hair split is really noticeable. This is going to be a big month for me in terms of figures. Should be getting figma TP Link DX and Zelda, figuart Anakin and Padme, and whatever I manage to track down at A-kon.

Damn, when did that one come out? I notice Kotobukiya used to work in larger scales a lot more than they do now. Like, I had no idea they had so many 1/7 (that are more like 1/6) Star Wars figures from a time before the recent two or three.
I can't wait for mine to get here. It probably would be already if I'd ordered from AmiAmi.
Damn that exclusive face.
yup, can't wait.

Gonna be getting the Joker One:12 this Wednesday. Traded in some comic variants for it.

I have four One:12 and they're all beautiful.
But they should call them One:11 because Sulu is at least half a head taller than my MAFEX Boba Fetts.
It was a while ago. I think 2010?
Pretty much my favorite statue, period. Looks great on my display beside this beast:
I totally disagree. The way the gem fits into the mohawk-y blue section is totally wrong, the sharp, light blue portions aren't angled properly and are flush with the darker blue, while I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be slightly elevated. And the shape of the face as well as the mouth and eyes are completely wrong. The $600 pricetag means you can nitpick some pretty fundamental issues. Frankly the entire head and helmet are terrible.
I should add that I'm A-OK with creative liberties as in the case of that other X figure, but this one is clearly going for an authentic look and it just fails.

I could never see them doing an X-23 for a number of reasons. Most of all, they wouldn't be able to charge full price! :3

Just like they totally couldn't with Rocket?

Rocket was different, there was a raccoon tax on that one, obviously.

The new Figuarts ANH Vader looks terrible. It looks like the helmet was sculpted to fit over a dog's head.
Obi-Wan's inner robes are looking really nice, but the head sculpt is worse than Hasbro's right now.
Their Jack Sparrow is impressive but I wish it was based on an earlier movie. Still might.

Didn't see this posted already. I'm sure there's someone around here that might be interested.
Tweeterhead DC Super Powers Collection Harley Quinn Statue
Also, has anyone had any experience with SW Our World Figures? They're releasing an unlicensed Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Alice figure. I already own the Hot Toys Alice, but I wouldn't mind buying another.

I don't normally buy import figures, but I'm gonna buy the hell out of Ulala if I can.

Holy moly! Kingdom Hearts II Sora SH Figuarts!? Didn't expect that given Square's own Bring Arts line is starting with Sora. I suspect Disney is the reason this is really happening and not Square Enix, but still, maybe there is some hope for SE's other properties making their SHF debut.
wat? THERE'S HOPE
Grabbed a set of the Mary Jane/Spider-Man figures. The ANAD Spidey's bright blue/red combo just pop in a great way. Love this shade of blue. The Pete head is terrific and fits all the recent Spidey's well. Except it looks a bit big on Superior Spidey.
Love the fact that we finally have a 6inch MJ figure. So freakin' rad. The fading paint job on her jeans and hair is a well done touch. My only qualm is that Hasbro needs to really get on adding double jointed elbows with their female figures. Messing around with the DC Icons Harley Quinn you can achieve so many awesome poses with her double elbows and it sucks Hasbro hasn't done it yet with their female characters. And also it would have been cool to get some spare hands for MJ.
MJ's head also works lightyears better on the recent Phoenix body then the one we got. I never realized just how bad that standard headsculpt is. It likely will be replaced when that new Cyclops/Dark Phoenix pack comes out. But for now MJ's head could be a great substitute.
Now all we need is an Aunt May figure....

Nope. At least, not with the poseability and general quality of a figma or figuarts. DC Icons Superman is the closest you're gonna get and he's got a fugly head sculpt.
MJ looks great!
And I think that Peter sculpt is a downsized one from the recent 12" Legends Spidey.

No. The recent DC Icons figure is too small and has weird pink eyes. Plus his articulation is kind of problematic. Especially in comparison to import figures. You're probably best waiting for that NECA Superman vs Alien 2 pack. That Superman looks amazing.
Yeah. When this was first announced, I thought I could live without. But seeing pictures of the actual figure, I'm realizing I was totally wrong. I need this.

Thanks guys. Ill wait him to drop then.

Mezco is doing a One:12 Collective classic Superman this summer. It's wait-listed, though.
