Damn, half regret half satisfied I put in an order for Enterbay 1/4 T-800. Hasta la vista, $400. Could've saved a bit more for a rex but I'm not as big of an MGS fan.

Doubtful REX is finished. Not for another 6-9 months I'd say knowing ThreeA on shipping times :/

It's supposedly going to stand at 23" tall once fully assembled. All of the pilots fit inside the lions so needless to say, I won't be opening the boxes until I have all of the lions so that I can build Voltron and the sword.

Green's coming in June, Blue in August and Black in October.

The wait must be killing you, having the ones you have just waiting in the box till black arrives.

Definitely. I was trying to dull the pain by not having the figures near me (like in the trunk of my car :P) but I knew I had to bring them into the house sometime...

...Yeah, looking at them and then knowing the release schedule won't let me have a complete Voltron until basically Thanksgiving? Feels bad man.

How much is that?

I've been lurking this thread for a while, and other than that funny Woody doll, I haven't really been interested in actually getting one myself. That's changed. I want Arnold.

Maybe sometime over the weekend. I got a small collection of high end stuff and small collection of lower to mid end stuff. I just need more space :o

Here's the junk that's behind T800 in the pics: Straw Hat Pirates & Warlords, almost complete. Then some waifu statues and R.I.P. Megaman on the side.

Probably alone on top of my Detolf cabinet, as it would never fit inside.

Only time I ever had to wait on a set was with the SOC Ninja Senshi Tobikage , and even then I still got complete figures that could stand on their own. I think this is one of the reasons that made me not buy the TFC Hercules, other than the price that is.

My question is, what do your other half's say about it all? If anything.

Just curious is all. What do you tell them when they ask?
I wrote an article years ago in relation to this kind of thing:
http://radiantdreamer.net/featured/a...-hentai-otaku/

My wife voices her opinion on it in the comments:

I don’t think all otakus are hentai. Though there are some figurines and anime series that I simply disapprove, which in turn makes me wonder what kind of person would like something like that? Of course, the scanty clothing and voluptuos physique stand out…. Hm, this guy must be hentai!

Something is just not right about some of these figurines/characters. The super cute innocent cartoony face, with big boobs, supermodel legs and controversial outfits don’t go. Anime, which I simply see as Japanese cartoon, meant for children and teens should be kept clean pure and simple. Before I knew that the target audience for some animes are actually adults, it shocked me the amount of violence and subtle or not so subtle sexual content there are in some of these animes. My instinct is that these are bad cartoons.

Before I watched the Haruhi Suzumiya anime, I thought the bunny outfit guitarist Haruhi figurine was shallow — it was another one of “those” figurines”. After watching the anime, everytime I see the figurine, I would link it to all the quirky little things Haruhi did in the series, how I enjoyed the series, and well, the figurine has slid from my “disapproved” list to my “approved” list. As for the anime, I still think that the storyline is interesting enough that there’s no need for the bunny outfit or for Mikuru to be so well-endowed. Same for Chobits… Chi’s power button could have been better located.

Since many popular series have a little bit of nudity or sexual content, even when they are not necessary to plot development, it is no wonder people stereotype otakus as hentai. These little additions/character designs won’t be in the anime if they didnt appeal to otakus.

My take on Wonder Woman is that she is not overtly sexy, and that is not played up in any of the cartoons.

So while I see both sides of the coin, if you ask me if I think otakus are hentai, my immediate response would be to nod, but very cautiously. I’m not saying all of them are, but many are, to some degrees. For me, sex and cartoons are not a good mix. Leave the sex-appeal to the Victoria Secret models.

She doesn't give a f'ck. This kind of things were here before she was. I understand she said something if she didn't knew it. But she used to came to my home when we were dating so I do not see something unusual. Don't you buy sexual games to play together? Have you stop watching porn cause you got a partner?. On the same way If I'm not interested in something she buys I do not ask, she does the same. Stop buying things you like cause can worry someone is stupid, she already knew what you like when you met her, so? why to change?.

You can already preorder the Batmobile.

I'm not sure about Batwing. It can be overdoing it. lol

Hello all,

Just wondering if any of you collect Batman or Iron Man stuff? I was looking at getting a hot toys figure but not sure I want to spend that much yet! I would love the Joker Bank Robber figure but can't find it anywhere for less than £400 :(

So anyone got any? Is there any cheaper good quality figures of Iron Man/Batman/Heath Ledger Joker?

Cheers

There is a new version of Heath Ledger Joker pending for release sometime in the future. It is branded under Hot Toys' DX line which is a more deluxe version of their toy sets. Should come with special stands and more accessories and usually their rolling eye ball system implemented.

Bank Robber Joker's sold out. But we're not sure what the new DX Joker will be. I would wait if I were you.

There should also be a new Bale Batman coming out later this year that lines up around/after the Dark Knight Rises movie release.

And Iron Man Mark 7 soon I believe. They just re-released Mark 6 as a promo for the Avengers movie.
