i guess bbts is the best price atm
Practically the same price really, and I'll be paying for international shipping either way. IF this is the only way to avoid the orange plug for now then I'll deal with it. Popular MP prices rarely drop, anyway.

I will pay any absurd Web Exclusive price if it gets me a Figuarts Grievous. Granted, I will probably cry doing so, but all will be made well by Figuarts Grievous.

What if it's 6.0" tall?

I'll admit. The bit about the 6 characters and premium costumes for pre-ordering has me nervous. This is going to be another Capcom $DLC shitfest, isn't it?
Judging by the temperature in that trailer thread, id say yeah.

Characters, of course. But the mention of "premium costumes" is more worrying. Everyone likes new characters, but do you remember how many shitty coatumes they put out for SFIV and V? Jesus, they were barely trying when they designed most of them.

You guys are missing the most important part though.
FIGURES
FIGURES
well statues and it's $200 but gimmie
Watched the new Marvel vs Capcom Infinite trailer and I hope some figure company makes this Iron Man suit:
imo it takes the best design cues from the movie suits and keeps it simple.
Dude its exactly the Mark 43 1/6 figure from Hot toys. Look at the shoulder area.

Actually there is some rumor from Toy Fair that Hasbro has rights to make toys from the game.

That was a rumor for a Target exclusive 2-pack with a Marvel and supposed Capcom character, but nothing's come of it yet.
I mean, they're the same in the sense that they're both red & gold with some silver bits, sure, but in most other aspects they are definitely not the same. I feel like the MvC:I suit is a refinement of the mark 43/45/46 suits from the movies.
Man, between the Megazord, Megatron, and F-91 this is going to be an expensive month for me.
For me it's just disappointment that a character used in one of the first promos is DLC, especially since it's Sigma.

I think he ends up pretty good, I like the face in this one much better than Stormcollectible, the articulation also looks great. so glad I got my preorder for this one.
and scale pretty well with Marvel Legends Cyclops if you want your X-Men vs Street Fighter display

Great photos! I love that Taskmaster figure too. Really well done figure. I don't mind replacing my old Toybiz one with the Hasbro one. I wonder if down the road we will see some reuse of Taskmater's parts for a new Dr Doom figure as well...

Well I completely missed out on MP-36. It's like £250 on eBay and after import duties it'll be over £300

Why not AmiAmi? They're selling it for the equivalent of $223. I mentioned this above but I wouldn't count on price dropping any time soon.

That's still over £200 even before shipping, I can't justify that. Stupid exchange rate...

Can't wait to get mine and take a video and some photos. Forgot I picked SAL shipping though, heh.

Oh yeah, I forgot how much your currency was hit and failed to look at it from your perspective.

eyes look slightly off but face shape and eyebrows are on point
Still looks off to me, not sure what but it is not a great likeness IMO
I'll wait for final version. Usually they improve upon them after some feedback. It's still the most accurate version compared to all the deformed versions of her as Hermione out there.

I can't tell if you're serious.
I guess this is the best place to ask, how often are Nendos made for series that aren't currently airing or games that are recently popular? Mainly because I'm wondering what are the chances for Hunter x Hunter nendos. I'm guessing I'm going to have to wait till the 20th anniversary next year for a chance of that happening though.

Thanks, guys.
Taskmaster is such a well done figure. Just everything about him works. It's really one of the best examples of what a Marvel Legends can be.
We definitely need a Dr. Doom. I can see some Taskmaster parts being reused. We're getting a Sue and Johnny soon. I'm sure Reed and Ben will follow. A new Doom would round out the group!
They do make them if a show is popular enough. Honestly, I've surprised they didn't.
Face needs some work but nice.
That moment when you are forced to concede that your action figures are in fact, dolls. ;-)

Guardians Figuarts are up. There is a Quill and Rocket set, right?
