Thanks for the reference, too. It's appreciated.

That's pretty much correct. They've cancelled a bunch of their previously announced figures and shifted the line towards an "iconic moment" theme. They're going to be two packs that replicate big moments from the comics. They're done with single figure releases and, presumably, more obscure characters. I guess the retail demand simply wasn't there for the line.
I would have bought them all if they actually scaled with Marvel Legends in the initial run. They really goofed there.

There are some Marvel Selects that fit in great with Legends. I prefer the Select Juggernaut over the Build A Figure, Comic Hulkbuster and the recently released Drax, Groot, Rocket and Gamora.
All excellent figures.
I was happy to have these scale with import stuff like SH Figuarts, Figma, Mafex, etc .
I think the real goof was to for some reason not have a thigh swivel joint on these things despite claiming this line to be super-articulated like the imports.
The Hulkbuster is amazing, it's the first and only Select figure I own. Won't be the last.

The exclusive face seems a bit uncharacteristic so I'm fine with the regular version. I ordered this as soon as she went up, I've been checking shops every day for the last week. They're also doing an Asuka to go with her.

You on the boards?
Really fucking cool MP-10 figure made to look like sleep mode Optimus from the movie.
Dope!
No I mean which particular Mezco one:12 Daredevil. There's like 3. Shadowland, Red, Yellow. I'll just assume you got the Red.

Yooooo, a liveblog just did an on hand view of the F91,
Holy Shoot! this thing: first time gimmicks ever put on a metal build:
it has a feature that allows changing the face without replacing parts: freaking amazing:
highlights:
Package
Manual
Body:
The F91 main body has a glossy finish using polycarbonate material for part of the exterior so as to give a texture image of "racing car".
markings
tampo print:
Details:
F91 comes with 2 heads:
1x has removable faces for sculpt accuracy
1x that changes face without replacement:
heat dissipation radiator fins
"Etching Parts" which is the first in METAL BUILD is used in the chest intake.
It is different from die casting, it has a sharp metallic texture.
Weapons:
Vesper beam rifle: Each part expands and contracts
Beam saber can store two grips in the left side skirt.
A gimmick is built in which the cover slides and makes it easy to take out:
Metal Build F91
Yeah, I've never had a problem with it. I had my own private office at my first job for 8 years and now at my current studio we have an open floor plan arrangement, but I had a side desk which I could put all my cool stuff on. It was out of the way enough that people couldn't bump into it just by walking by. I cycle out figures about twice a year (mostly Hot Toys).

I just ordered Raven directly from Good Smile. Looks like I missed the window on Kat. What would be another option to get her (US or international)?

The back looks like a water/paddle wheel and that made me wonder...Have there been any steam punk styled Gundam figures made? Seems like it would be awesome.Yooooo, a liveblog just did an on hand view of the F91,

^ there is a Gundam series in steampunk setting: "Turn A Gundam"
there's a model kit of Turn A but hasn't been introduced in the metal build figure line.

EDIT - maaaaaaan F91 looks so good, I'm incredibly tempted to break my rule about no spending money on a Metal Build ;_;
ohhhhh that works out

^ typo from a cut and paste while linking, thanks =)
before Haloid posts his awesome prizes from futurevoid, just came home and got a package in the mail.
this is a Holy grail of macross valks and the final piece i needed for my weathering collection (had all of the weathering specials except this last one)
only 300 pieces were made of each of the weathering VF-1's. This one could only be ordered exclusively through a magazine in Japan called Hyper Hobby. i've waited about 2 years for one to pop up on the market at a decent price: the rainbow canopy tint is perfect, no flaking.

Ooh, Sentinel Volnutt is up! Always wanted a Volnutt figure
, and it's cool that you can recreate Mega Man's Final Smash with all the 4 Inch Nel figures.
I really hope Star Force isn't going to be Sentinel Online Exclusive like Cut Man and Lan were.
that much closer to a Tatsunoko vs Capcom display like the figure commercial

They're pretty darn good for the scale, especially since it's giving us all the Mega Man variations we could ever want!
Here's a size comparison with D-Arts Mega Man and some other figures (Sentinel one is actually better in some ways):

I retired D-Arts Mega Man in favor of Sentinel's. It's much better.
I'll retire Sentintel's Mega Man if someone comes out with a Mega Man figure in Smash 4 proportions though.

Don't say these things. I might be the only person alive who prefers Star Force to Battle Network, and I have been shaking with anticipation every day for this figure.

I'd say the figures are worth it, especially if you're a big Mega Man fan. I own EXE and he's really fun.

I wish Cut Man had been a wide release and not a forced online 2-pack. We really need more actual Robot Masters figures.

i believe the Japan release date is 3/25 which is today so i'll check the market prices and see if it's going up. update: HLJ reopened three hours ago. but i was moving for work and couldn't check.... i'll keep looking and alert you if another place opens.
yeah the US release is a month later, maybe they'll be a few cancelled orders to snag. (Edit: i'm reading a few posters at macross world snagged one at hlj japan are canceling their pre-orders at Chosen Prime and BBTS.)
wow! congrats =)

Recently I bought paint for a nursery, a bunch of baby stuff, some stuffed animals, and some maternity cloths for my wife.
Fuuuuuuuu, you guys still making me all jelly. Also, Haloid, if you are still up for it and are able and don't mind, would love that Black Series Luke Celebration Exclusive. I can PayPal money before or after.
