Mecha Mad and Figure Fixation V 2.0

[Soundwave]

Bluestreak looks significantly better in these new shots, excellent stuff. Not used AnimeExport but they look similar to a company that uses ebay that's doing them for ?47 inc shipping. AniExp has already sold out but if they're still up at the other company on Monday I might chance both rather than paying a fair chunk more.

Yeah I am suitably impressed with how they look even the faces are totally different almost perfect to the Cartoon.

Any link to the Ebay seller?

I'm seriously considering 2 each of these.

Hobby Link Japan have them at ?4640 (about ?33) + shipping so I might pump my extra orders in with them but I'll mull it over for a bit first.

That's their site which is a bit cheaper than their ebay listings are pegged at. Both are being mooted as joint Sept releases so it looks like Smokescreen is pushed right back. Still not got pics of Tigertrack either and he's out first.

Looks like Soundwave will be $120, Acid Storm $70 and Generations Fort will be $99

Bad times yesterday as my Bishoujo Huntress statue has taken a tumble The upper third of her staff has snapped off and her head has been decapitated as she fell noggin first. At some point I can see me having to shell out for a replacement. Thank god it wasn't Catwoman, not at her current price.

Flipside is I managed to preorder MP Prowl and Bluestreak off a site for ?33 each. When they ship I'll need to pay the shipping but all in all they should be cheaper than most places are listing them at.

Damn sorry to hear about Huntress...must have been her massive Bewbs that caused her to topple over lol
Hope you can find a cheapy replacement.

SWEET!!!!!
That's how much mine were & the site I used (Anime Export) work the same way, bill the shipping once they are released.
Not expecting it to be that much as based on Sideswipe's packaged weight on their site of 600grams it worked out at ?2000 for EMS shipping (about ?15) so all in at under ?50 each is an utter bargain (especially since my Prowl with Kapow has cost me ?75 delivered) & even with Customs at ?50 you'd get ?10 VAT + the post office ?8 handling fee so still quids in.

Can't wait for them now!!

Plenty time to save for the postage too lol. Hopefully I'll get Huntress sorted by the summer, seems to still be in plenty supply so hopefully not too expensive. Next up hopefully is Spiderman

Did you use that inxspro.com for them in the end?

Blurry pic of what came today. He's amazing. Proper pics and mini review tomorrow hopefully

[eastyy]

anyone see that show toy hunter ? got to say made me slightly tempted to start collecting this stuff

[Super Grover]

I'll post something that isn't Transformer related I'm afraid!

My 2nd figure from SoldierStory, FBI CIRG.

Had a bit of 'mare with ebay (ended up going to the resolution centre, which was awarded in my favour), so I eventually bought it from an eshop based in the UK, which I would have went to in the first place, had I known about it.





It's got a crazy amount of kit/accessories, as do all SS figures.

Back to Transformers ...

Nope, in the end I ended using a site called eToyJapan which was slightly cheaper than the other site. In the end, between them, I should end up saving ?10-15

A little bit nsfw but they've revealed a figure of Noel from Blazblue with little on, they've tried to sex her up as much as possible considering the characters complete lack of assets.

Finally FREEing gets BlazBlue statue right



Now...where the straf***ing h**l is Nu?

[Neon Ignition]

Had a looksee and this new Noel statue is only 1/8 size, the pricing for the char and scale is awful though I guess based on the previous releases she'll gain value in time

[NeoDragoN]

I picked this up Amiami as it was 48% off. I adore Tiger & Bunny and when i saw this i wanted it but the 26000 yen price put me right off so when this went up at half off i dived in!

The 12PM line is Bandais version of super high quality 1/6 Toys ( Tiger standing just under 13" ), they have also recently released a 1/6 Chogokin C3PO which looks insane with around 80% Diecast. So yeah it's like Hot Toys but not dolls :P

I can say right off the bat if i had paid full price i would have been disappointed, i think he is worth his money at 13K but any more i wouldn't have been too happy. Don't get me wrong he is pure quality through and through, from the thick glossy heavy cardboard used for the box to perfect paints, metal joints and those killer LEDS....i just don't see where the rest of the money is going.

The only thing he is missing is his Huge fist from the Good Luck mode. Bandai didn't care to include it or it's gonna be a web EX and will sell for stupid money.



Overall for what i paid i love him and i'm so looking forward to getting Bunny now to join him, i might even buy the Kotetsu and Barnaby figures too but they have real clothes....and then i have to take all those doll comments i throw at Neil and swallow them all....and i just can't do that.

Plenty of pics here, maybe too many but he's just awesome!
