I stopped by TRU to get a Mii Fighters amiibo 3-pack today and also found Fox & Goomba!
I grabbed a 2.5" Shy Guy too, but he was the only new one amidst a sea of Diddys...seriously, why are there SO many Diddys everywhere?!

Looks like there's a few new Wal-Mart 2.5" figures out too??
I see people selling 2.5" white-box Deku Link, Peach, & Blue Yoshi on eBay (the other 3 figures on the back of the box are repeats - Mario, Luigi, & Toon Link).
Anyone know if there's a new chase figure??

The Skull Kid figure is TINY compared to the LE statue

Still worth it for $4.99

I got Gravity Suit Samus yesterday. Pretty high quality!

Scale was murdered with Link

Good to know what Gravity Suit Samus comes with, I should have guessed.

I never knew these were out

Where do you get them?

Walmart, TRU & Target

Not my channel

The guy who runs it works at the Nintendo Store in New York so he always has the latest figures, seems he does the recording in the store too as some previous videos have shown what looks like the Nintendo Store in the background

neither does jakks pacific. Stock has been shit since the thread was created.

 

[Proto_Man]

neither does jakks pacific. Stock has been shit since the thread was created.

Seems to be 2 kinds of Jakks stock

1. That one wave that is stuck at your store forever and will never leave till the boxes and cardbacks are so worn and falling apart/can't hang anymore

2. None at all (Some of my Walmarts don't even have a World of Nintendo section)

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I just want a Metroid at affordable prices dammit! Fuck you Donkey Kong and your overstock!

The 4 inch figures seem to not be super rare. Though once you see them the unique ones like Star Fox will be gone in a week. Toysrus usually also has then online.

I got only got Fox, Peach and Goomba from the latest line as I don't want recolors of Mario and Yoshi.

Excited to get both Link and Gravity suit Samus. Yeah it's an exception but I love Metroid. I even have the Good Smile Zero Suit statue in addition to the regular Figma.

 

[Malice215]

I've just found out about these last week. Wish I knew about these sooner because there's not much stock out there, and what's left is either stuff that I don't want, stuff in crumpled packaging, or double the price.

Going to snag what I can tomorrow and call it quits.

 

[Proto_Man]

In one year we got more Star Fox merchandise then we have gotten in more then 20 years.

Amiibos, figures, a statue on it's way from Gamespot and even a set of plush!

[Razgriz-Specter]

Give it to me now!

 

[Mael]

When are we getting this amiibo?

 

[Breakbeat]

I still can't find the Metroid ANYWHERE for non-scalper prices it's a shame. I've been to at least a dozen carrying retailers and their World of Nintendo sections seem to be actively shrinking.

Also, where's that Captain Falcon figure they promised back when the line first started? We've heard absolutely nothing...

Where do you buy these toys?

 

[fredrancour]

Where do you buy these toys?

It sounds like your options are either obsessively stalk the toy sections of major retail stores or pay scalper prices for stuff, unless you get lucky and only want super-common characters.

 

[fernoca]

For the smaller figures, Walgreens (of all places) is a good place.

For everything else, Toys R Us and good luck.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

If you have a local comic shop they might have them as well. My LCS has a bunch of them.

Hey guys, if anyone is interested there have been a bunch of new ones released recently including Cat suit Luigi, bowser Jr, Waluigi, Golden Mario, Fox, Gravity Suit Samus, OoT Link and Shiek (all in the 4" line)
and also a ton of the smaller non articulated figures like the 8-bit Mario, Link, Luigi, and DK, Deku Link, Skull Kid, shy guy, and more
Amazon has a lot of them at a decent price with free shipping https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=world+of+nintendo
Managed to get all the ones mentioned for under $13 each, you guys likely missed the OoT Link for $12, though.
Shiek should pop up again soon enough.
There's also a great star fox plush that's not too expensive

I saw 2-3 copies of Bowser Jr., Waluigi, and Sheik out in the wild at Toysrus.

Waluigi figure is perfectly proportional to Mario, Luigi, Wario. Really well done. Sheik looks perfectly fine but the articulation is disappointing. Very limited leg movement for a ninja and she can't even hold her Harp accessory in place.

Still waiting on Princess Zelda one goddamit.

Jakks Pacific Rep at New York Toy Fair 2016 confirms more Metroid and announces Splatoon support.
He also said, "You let us know who you guys would like to see, and we'll work on getting them to retail out there for ya."

Uh, where would I post that to demand the following in 3.75 articulated toys?
- more female figures
- Kid Icarus figures
- King Dedede
- Captain Falcon
- Fire Emblem characters
- Zero Suit Samus
- Krystal
- Daisy
- Rosalina
- Zelda (they rather put Sheik out before putting out another female character in a dress)

Did Falco and Chain Chomp from that picture ever come out?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Did Falco and Chain Chomp from that picture ever come out?

Falco is the next wave, Shiek wave just came out.

 

[Proto_Man]

Did Falco and Chain Chomp from that picture ever come out?

The only reveals over the weekend were a 2.5 inch Tingle, Gold Mario, Cat Mario, some kind of RC Mario Kart and they will be doing blind bags of the previous released Microland stuff with some new color waves.

They mentioned doing more 8-bit stuff in the future.

In somewhere related news.

K'nex Super Mario series 7 is showing up everywhere and here are the CODES to get what you want from the blind bags.

Found a good assortment of 2.5" at a Walgreens. Grabbed shy guy and piranha plant. Left 8 bit DK as he didn't look that good.

Jesus Christ, thats Scott Neitlich. He got fired from Mattel, was in charge of the He-man line. I wouldn't believe a single word out of his mouth. He is the Molanuex of toys.

Did they have 8-bit Link or the other exclusives?

 

[Supa Necta]

Found a fresh case at Walgreens and got the exclusives. Looks like power Mario is 1 per case.

 

[advancegrant]

Did they have 8-bit Link or the other exclusives?

What are the exclusives?

 

[Supa Necta]

What are the exclusives?

Black and white 8 bit Mario, Star Power 8 bit Mario, and white tunic 8 bit Link.

 

[Mariolee]

Don't ever buy toys, but it was my bday recently so I picked up myself one of these to treasure for the rest of my life.

No regrets.
