yeah, amiami site didn't load for 10 minutes,
hobby serach was gone in 30 secs
got cart jacked at Cdjapan
Nippon Yasan Shut down due and this came up during pre-order:
hlj was the only one open for 6 minutes, and they hide their links so scalpers can't find it in the search bar.
nice! BBTS is perfect! since you can cancel if it ends up being a dud.
Dammit! i fell asleep bc i woke 5AM for the new stupid bandai time that they're doing for
pre-orders. i wanted a back up...

ugh, those are pretty ugly to me.
Nice pics. Bruce Wayne head is very wtf (seen video reviewers struggle to show it off well, lol.) Otherwise pretty strong. I've been waiting for it to drop into the mid $30 range before I cave on it, and it's nearly there. Will do the same for the Harley and Joker packs.
Gotta be honest... nothing there grabbing me either. But I'm very biased towards certain properties, companies and figure styles.
The more super deformed it is, the less I'll probably be into it. Nendoroid is about as far as I can go down that path.
Couple that with I've already spent a small fortune on Ninja Turtle figures the past few years... I have them in just about every shape and style I could want.
Already had Bats pre-ordered, rest are looking fantastic... it's gonna be tough with SHF, Mafex and Mezco 1:12 line all releasing great figures from Justice League.

That looks nice, even though 1/10 is a bit on the small side.

it's nice that the sleeves cover up the elbow wrist joints

There are no joints. It's a Kotobukiya ArtFX+ statue. The parts are interchangeable to create different poses. This is how it works in the world of PVC figures.

What a beast!!
Yours? Nice.What a beast!!
If they continue improving their 12" legends I'm gonna have to start getting some.
Wonder if they'll do 12" star wars black series in this format? Would be interesting.

Yeah hasbro sent it as a gift, I work on the marvel ledges toy packages. That said, I think it's out in stores now.
WAT, an insider! Get em boys

If you helped improve the boxes to what they are now, thanks.
Especially the 12-inch stuff.
Trying to decide between collecting Star Wars Black Series 3.5-inch, which has most of the characters I like, or just selling my soul and staying with the 6-inch line. (Gave up on Figuarts cause I can't get RoTJ Luke)
Whaaa!? That's awesome.
Voyager Megs finally popped up on amazon

oh it's a statue? it looked like a figure...

Well, these two are figures. Left is DC Collectibles, right is Mattel. I only own the Mattel one at the moment, but I'm picking up the DC Collectibles one when I can.
I also kinda wanted to get this statue when I saw her at GameStop and ThinkGeek recently...but $130 is a bit much for my wallet right now.
These are the Supergirl's I have right now. I plan to add more when I can.
You should get this one, if they actually release it. They better, lol. Some of these later Icons figures scheduled for the back half of this year are some of the best ones they have done, looks wise.
Oh, saw this on amazon too... pretty expensive. But looks nice if you want a 1:12 scale Justice League batmobile.

Then wait patiently and hope they add her to the DC Essentials line, which looks to be a small improvement over Icons.

Holy shit, forgot I even pre ordered this, but my "chainsaw girl" is shipping on Tuesday.
Tuesday is going to be insane...finally receiving my Comic Con loot from my buddy who hooks me up every year.

nice! i know you're a fan by the avatar =)
is there a hot toy supergirl? you should grab that if they do =)
Nope not until after Justice League later this year...

Messi, you getting her when she comes out?
I would.

I saw some pics of them putting them in the packages, so they should actually be releasing soon! I do want that Supergirl. I haven't picked up any Icons yet, but I have thought about picking a few to fill up some empty slots...mainly the Green Lanterns, Firestorm, Blue Beetle, and Harley Quinn, just going off of the top of my head.
The Essentials figures look pretty cool, but I'm not sure how well they'll scale with the rest of my figures. I mainly get Mattel's stuff for DC figures, which scales great with Marvel Legends. The only DC Collectibles figures I have right now are the New 52 Supergirl, and the Greg Capullo Batgirl.
Also, I really want that Batmobile...but don't want to pay that price.
Maybe at a sale price. It'd look awesome with the DC Multiverse Justice League figures I just got earlier this week...I can't afford Hot Toys!
...but I might try and save up if they did make a Supergirl. Hah. I've also been tempted to get their Christopher Reeve Superman if I ever have the money.
Though, I think Star Ace Toys got the rights for 1/6 scale figures for the CW DC shows. They had this on a display last year.

At that price, i think they will sit around. I set a price alert... I'll post here if it drops below $200. $150 may be in the ballpark, before it becomes scarce. I hope.Also, I really want that Batmobile...but don't want to pay that price.
I can't afford Hot Toys!
You can afford Hot Toys, especially if you are highly self-limiting and only buy very specific characters. Start that rainy day fund
Also yeah, you can find lots of pics of the Star Ace Supergirl too if you'd like to get that one.

I hope so. I'd consider it more around that price (if I have the money).
I don't think I want to get on that Hot Toys train! It's a one way trip to Brokesville!You can afford Hot Toys, especially if you are highly self-limiting and only buy very specific characters. Start that rainy day fund
Wait, pics? I've never seen any pics of their DC figures pop up before...
There is that Five Star bootleg, though. Also some TV and comic costumes by Super Duck for 1/6 figures.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
1/10 is the biggest scale I'm willing to collect, even ignoring price.

I got one early noon. I got lucky.
I like 1/6.
I haven't got a 1/4 yet but I do have the Joker preordered; so that would be my first.
