All in for the entire set it's going to be around ?30 + shipping which I think is pretty good.

Not sure if these will be of interest to people but Medicom are putting out some new Real Action Heroes "Dolls" in the form of Cammy & Chun-Li























Both come with Stands & Effect parts.
I think they are pretty impressive.
Each one is ?17,700 (about ?104) + shipping so quite pricey but they do look like the best representation of the characters yet.
Wonder if we'll see anymore?
I'd love a Ryu & Ken

Neo with yet another statue!? Your postie really must dislike you!!

I do like those SF figs but exposed joints are dire.

Love to see HT get the licence. Until then it's only PCS that do great renditions (in statue form).

Good luck in buying of those for anything less ?400.

Ah thanks for the heads up, going to put an order in before they sell out as i always get to stuff like that far too late.

Excellent stuff.
Glad you got an order in.
I think if you are buying him you need the accessory sets as well, they really look good & will give you so many display options
Might even be worth having 2 of the Mario's so you can have multiple displays at once

I just had my email from Anime Export confirming that my G2 Sideswipe is now in stock.
Just waiting for the shipping quote & then he'll be on his way

Thought I'd check on my order for him too only to find out Anime Export cancelled it at some point and never refunded my payment for him, trying to chase it up with them now but either way very unlikely to get him which means its Jazz for me next.

Well that sucks.

I don't think Kapow have received their stock yet so you might be able to grab one from them?

Just paid my shipping invoice which worked out at about ?12.30 for the EMS option.
Should be shipped tomorrow & all being well here next week.

You not getting Wheeljack then??

Neil

[Neon Ignition]

Completely got the names fumbled Getting Wheeljack, likely Bumble too as my last one. With G2 I think it'll depend on the refund coming through, thankfully it was a very expensive order or a key character. Pain though, especially as Wheeljack is ordered with them too.

Lol too many names
I'm still waiting to see the prototype pictures of Bee before I pre-order him.
He really is one character I can either take or leave, I hated him as a kid & it's only got worse as an adult thanks to Bay's movies, it will only be the completist in me that makes me have him in the collection

No Ultra Magnus or any of the future Autobot Cars for you then??

Hope Wheeljack comes through ok.

I went with Kapow for Wheeljack.
might be slightly more expensive in the long run I'm guaranteed the coin & they have said that all early pre-orders will get the Amazon.Jp exclusive Cybertron Lunch Box as well (mine was ordered in July last year) so makes it worth the extra

I'm itching to find out what's next.

Bumbles one of the nostalgia ones for me when hes a VW so he's a prime pick. Magnus I was never fussed with and will likely cost a fair bit, likely mostly a Prime in White. After that its increasingly lower tier characters. A really good Hound might sway me though

Yeah I do think if you are doing G1 then you do need a 'Bee whether you like him or not he is one of the most important G1 characters after Prime & Megs IMO
And it really pains me to say that lol

Magnus will be pricey because of the armour but if they do it right he'll look amazing (by all accounts the MP10 re-mold for Prime was in part so that they could use him for the armour for Magnus)

Well as you know I'm in for the entire '84 cast so it's all good to me.
Personally I'm hyper excited for Hound, Mirage & Trailbreaker (which if rumours are to be believed they have already secured licenses for the vehicles for)
I'm sure you'd fold if Jazz was next though...you know he's a seriously important Autobot, you definitely can't have the "More than Meets the Eye" Roll out scene without him

I know i've had quite a bit recently but this is it for a while now lol. I have been picking up a few Dioramas because i honestly think they are great value for money.

I've always looked and wondered at these dioramas because as well know the first diorama goes for an incredible amount of money but the 2nd and 3rd never came close to those prices and they can both be picked up for around or less than retail still.

Astonishing X-men is also my fave X-Men run so i had to cure my curiosity.

So i picked this up recently from Ebay for ?100 really only because i like the pose on Wolverine and it's the Astonishing costume, i also wanted to see if it matched up with Bowen scale. Also it was a bargain really lol.

I gotta say it's a fantastic piece, first thing you notice is the sentinel boot is huge and heavy and very very well detailed and painted ( the days when SS were on top of their game ). I pull out Wolverine and hold him up to other Bowen statues and yes he is very much in the same scale! Kitty isn't great on this but she actually looks a better in person and the way she is phasing through the foot is very nicely done and Lockheed looks perfect!

This is the Exclusive which comes with a whole swap out Wolverine, while it's perfectly good and a good unmasked Wolverine sculpt it just isn't needed as i'm sure everyone prefers Wolverine suited up.

So i'm completely impressed with it i just love having Wolverine perched up top and for me it's a great and cheap way of building my X-men collection up.

I plan to pick up number 2 as i thought the Bowen Emma Frost was very poor and we'll probably never get a Cat Beast and with a few Koto Danger Session statues like Gambit and Colossus i'll have a nice X-men set up hopefully.








Heres a pic with my Cable and Deadpool just for scale and to show how well ( imo) it fits in!
