How are the new toa in hand? I saw them on display at NYCC and thought they looked pretty good. Packed away somewhere in storage I have ever major toa team except for the second set of gladiatorans (I think that's what they were called) - the last ones to be released. I also have all the baddies that came in the canisters with the exception of the vizorak (again, not sure if that was the name). Really glad that they brought back the line. So many memories of bringing my bohrok and toa mata to school and battling them.

They're fun sets, but I think we should be talking about Bionicle in the LEGO thread.
Overall I like the new toas and protector, through I not that big of a fan of how the chestpiece and mask are attached. They snap on but can have a bit of a loose feeling, and the head can be a hassle to move around, not only due to the mask but also that transparent piece in the head that moves upward easily.:/
And Bionicles are action figures, so really I think they should count here too.*shrugs*
I would like to see more talk about Bionicle there. I have seen some really amazing customs and I know there are people on Gaf who do some cool stuff. Maybe they just don't know there is a LEGO community thread. Personally I don't do bionicle on its own but I use parts from the sets in my LEGO builds
It's entirely possible that they're legit, but they did get their own name wrong at the top of the site:
lol
Deary me, perhaps I should hope for elsewhere, but it's the only place I can find with it for an affordable price. Can't find reviews either for them. I shall continue a search.
Eh I rather post here and the figure OT than there, cause I not really into lego much anymore outside of Bionicle lol, which again are very articulated. Through I thought a Bionicle OT was in the works.

Fair comment - they were huge! I've done a 75% resize.

Marvel Legends - These are rather Deadpool/X-Force focused - DP is my favourite
Edit - Resize.
Ugh, I regret passing on that Skull...
I do have a question, where can I get a Vespa like that for my Deadpool? I've been meaning to ask someone every time I see their DPs on it.

As a collector, I'm over the thrill of the hunt in stores. I did that for years and now love getting toys in the mail. The best mail though arrives on Sundays. Thanks Amazon/USPS.
I got SH Figuarts Injustice Joker today. Such a sick figure making what I think is a crappy design look amazing.

Yeah, I need a Vespa for my Hasbro Deadpool. Thing can barely stand.
Marvel Select are lime an inch taller, I think. Much better than Legends if you want a large character like Hulk or Juggernaut, if you want them to tower over your ML.
Cool, thanks. I'm mainly interested in Legends but I want a yellow/brown Wolverine which seems to be Select-only. I'm afraid he'll tower over Legends, which would just be wrong.

How are the Walking Dead TV series figures? I wanna build up a collection of regular people wearing regular ass clothes with GUNS. Something I'm kinda fond for lately in the sea of super fantastical stuff you usually get with action figures.
It's great to see this thread, hope the community thrives!

I got my vespa off ebay. I just searched for 1:12 red vespa and it came up, £8 ish
My Select is about 8" tall, he looks much larger than my Legends. He's a great looking figure but the articulation is poor in comparison to Legends.
Well guys... I recently received a boost in my Credit so... it's really tempting to put a bunch of hot toys on order. I think I should just say "screw it" and pre-order Vader, Chewie and Han... I'm tempted to go with some Avengers and/or GotG stuff too but I just know it's beyond my means (and space) to collect everything. It's just hard to decide since I love so many things.
For Marvel stuff I'll always have Marvel Legends which are going really strong right now, so whatever happens I'll still be getting a nice selection of stuff that's hitting the market.
like any figure like what i'd suggest is spending some time looking at youtube reviews because that will give you a much better idea than a wall of text. But IMO I'll say that I like them, sometimes the likenesses are really good, and they do a nice job on the sculpting and paint for the size that they are at.
You will hear some complaints about joint problems, specifically breakage at times, but I wouldn't hold that against this line -- unfortunately it is a problem across a LOT of action figure lines and McFarlane isn't a whole lot worse than any other line. But that's just my experience!
I plan on picking up the upcoming comic book Carl and a few more of the TV show figures. I mainly only buy the characters that I like, which means I'll automatically get every Rick, Carl and Michonne with a spotty selection of the other characters.

Not really. There are some collectors that try to display them together and use different poses to obscure their difference but they don't really work in one display.
Marvel Legends is 1:12 scale and Marvel Select is 1:10 scale. Some figures are "screwed up" in each series and thus compatible size wise with the other, but even than proportions look all wrong.
I'll try to get a pic of a few figures up tomorrow that feature the same character in the same outfig in both series if you are interest.
Marvel Legends is great to build teams and get a nice looking team of X-Men or Avengers on your shelves.
In most cases the Marvel Select figures are built and painted way better. But you can't hope to finish a team with them (especially if you want them in matching uniforms).

I'm not much of an X-peoples guy but I love that Doop.
Thanks for the detailed response; I appreciate it
Had some time to take a few pics of my meager desk collection.
Today's Captain Marvel plus the Amazing Spider-Man I already had from the Marvel Legends line
My Mass Effect 3 Tali
This is a Kingdom Hearts 2 Play Arts (I think) that my wife got me years ago
Some cheap Optimus Prime I got off ebay.
Finally, the only thing that really belongs here is the Legends Superior Spider-Man but I'll take any chance I can get to show off the potted Groot my sister made me for Christmas

So that new medicom Blackswords Guts figure is awesome, thought it was gonna be one of the be all end all's in 1/6...
Now threezero's getting into it as well:

interesting...
I already own 3 versions of Guts in figma form though, do I really need another T__T
guess we'll find out
On the figma though, this one being my fav. I remember people thinking they would reissue it without the manga... I don't think that ever happened. Really glad I bought it while it was for pre-order

I own the 5 Berserk Figma's (with my eye on all the god hand ones that are next to come out), and the Medicom Band of the Hawk Guts.
I've got the upcoming Medicom Blackswordsman Guts on pre-order, and I was planning on trying to get the 2 GSC statues if I don't get priced out of them, but now that threezero is throwing their hat into the ring, the statues might be out of the question, I don't need a shrine... (though if I was going to have one Berserk would be it)
I can imagine threezero doing Berserker Armor Guts. Femto and the Skull Knight more then anything else. I can also see it being another 3 years before they release a figure though.
Couple pics of the office swag:
Diamond Select mini-bust
With my G1 Optimus Prime
I try to keep the office swag as minimal as possible. So for now, it's just those 2 figures and pics of the family.

You are a man full of surprises I'd never imagine you were a Berserk fan, I have all the Berserk related figures from Figma and they are indeed amazing, Berserker armour Guts is the holy grail and indeed the most difficult to get, I paid a lot for it since I missed out on the pre-orders, and yes we DO need more Berserk figures, God Hand Figmas have been in prototype form since forever they need to be released pronto. I am paying for an Articulated Skull Knight Figma too with horse et all.interesting...

That's amusing to hear, you just never know what lurks inside someone's darkest heart do you?
I'm a fairly recent fan actually... only since about 2012.
But yes I own 5 Berserk figma as well
band of the hawk guts
berserk armor guts
black soldier guts
Griffith
Casca
Griffith was actually my first figma!
I have a lot of Attack on Titan figma and all of the Nintendo figma. I plan on buying any nintendo figma they product so I'm hoping there's a lot more in the future.
For nendoroid i'm a bit more selective, but Wind Waker Link is excellent.

Which brand is good for metal gear solid figures? I've seen playarts kai and revoltech and they all seems off in some way, figmas solid snake from mgs2 is the first one I felt look really good, but they didn't seem to hace other characters.
Cyborg ninja revoltech also looks great, but I don't like the face of other revoltech mgs figure.
Also, what's a good metal gear rex figures that is not super expensive?

Sorry I should have been a bit more informative... i'm still tired. And a lot of these blogs don't allow image hotlinking so i'd have to rehost the images to link them... damn them to hell, i shouldn't even give clicks to sites like that
Yeah it's a weird super deformed look. I think they are trying to get in on the Funko action, only at a higher tier of quality

From what I can see here though, I'd rather get AoU Nendos :/

I remember the bigass WWII planes you could buy at TrU about 10-15 years ago that would fit a 6" or so action figure (Heroes of Valor or some shit, can't remember). I am kicking myself over not buying them when i had the chance, those things were super cool.
Before, you could get THIS

Im kicking myself over having all those 6" and 12" vehicles but not keeping them away from my little brother.
Specifically the 12 inch scale Little Bird which my little brother got and tossed it off our 2nd floor balcony.(which also had the old 12" MGS1 Solid Snake on it and broke his arms off)
My 12" M5 tank he did the old Axe/lighter flamethrower thing to.
I wouldn't sell it if I had it!!!
So cool.But there is rumored to be a giant man in one of these 2015 ML waves... maybe it's even a BAF? We'll see at toy fair, maybe.
