Action Figure GAF |OT| Articulated figures murdered my wallet

Except different swords. I guess if you want the 'God Killer' from WW movie, gotta get the Armor Training one.
Do they send out e-mails for delays? I have something with them that they delayed without me even knowing.
There's always the Medicom RAH version.

That's what DC is doing for the Justice League Wonder Woman statue. Just slapping a new base on the BvS one since it was a year late.
I don't remember. Probably not cuz I don't remember the last time they sent any about it.

Nah, seriously
Squall from VIII at release was about $34 imported.
Local comic shop got Yuna, Selphie and Rinoa around release for about $24.99.
Vincent Valentine was $30 something.
Axel and Sora were in the $20 range.
Even this
was $59.99 at the comic shop near release.
They released Batman twice (BvS and SS) and were planning on releasing Vision twice (AoU and CW), so Hot Toys has no problems releasing the same figure twice with slightly different accessories.
Plus WW is the new hotness, ton of money to make off her popularity right now.

Suppose it makes sense. Going by £ they were a little more but makes sense after the retailer markup at that time.
But yeah, now they are crazy expensive. I just received the Bring Arts Sora which cost me around £60 after all is said and done. I haven't opened it just yet, but it looks okay in the box - just a smaller scale version of their PAK. Going to give it a proper look over the weekend.

Feeling this today
If I did this with Hulkbuster I'd be poor.
You'd have to buy one Hulkbuster first.

If anyone deserves a figure from Messi paid for by Messi it's me.
But you just got a raise! Buy your own stuff!

Someone found the new basic Justice League figures at some store in Rhode Island: http://thefwoosh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3029630#p3029630
They're not supposed to hit stores until August 12th. I expected them to start showing up early, but not over a month early...

The detail, paint, and articulation are definitely improved over the Batman v Superman basic figures. They also have cloth capes instead of the weird soft vinyl plastic ones those had, too.

I'd absolutely kill for
in that series, if they did i'd buy all of them.
Still can't believe the Kingdom Hearts version of Squall hasn't gotten a single figure.
For some reason I find it funny she is taller than the Hunter statue.
Why do all the amazing FS figures have to be insanely expensive statues.
(( Figma doll PLEASE.Has anyone ever not bought a figure of a character they like in favor of one they like less just because it's bigger? That just happened to me with an upcoming release of Koneko from Highschool DXD. Koneko is my favorite character from the series, but due to her small size in scale with the other characters in combination with her pose her figure is only 4.5 inches tall, whereas Akeno is 11.9 inches tall for the same price. Despite liking Koneko way more than Akeno, I just can't bring myself to buy her when I can spend the same price and get a way bigger figure. I feel silly.

pre-order and cancel it later.
aka quitting.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The opposite.
I don't want large-scale figures otherwise I would have bought some 1/4 NECA TMNT.
I want 1/10 versions badly but they'd just be heavily scalped SDCC exclusives so I guess it doesn't matter if they make any.
I'd pay the scalper-level prices for those if NECA's MSRP was just that high, (basically if the figures were overpriced) but I have a major problem with rewarding scalpers.
You see wat some people here have done. Quitting is not ok.
I don't quit Dark Souls.

Wasn't he like $450 or something?
And Sif is $550! Plus Cinder is way more cool. Not my favorite from III, but still cool.
Can't quit on what I didn't even order.
I want to. Maybe in the future after I sold some Hot Toys in storage.

Just because they send you a coupon doesn't make you obligated to use it. Maybe if it was like that crazy CMX coupon from a few weeks back.
