Aaron Davis Iron Spider
Mezco Dr.Doom reissue also solicited. Price hike of $30 from his original price.
>>11717782Still a fair price, it’s a fantastic figure. Arguably the best 1/12 Doom on the market. Plus it was going for ridiculous amounts on the aftermarket.
>>11717782I can't with that doll clothing. Wired capes, yes, but nothing else.
>>11717807Depends on how well the cloak or hood is done. I've gotten some great looking soft goods cloaks but at the same time gotten some shitters.
>>11717807Mezco has some of the best soft goods in the game though, they generally look pretty good and natural.
>>11717782That cloth looks like it's going to get dusty
>>11717831Everything gets dusty.
>>11717807the one:12 line is usually pretty good
>>11717846plastic is easier to dust off than cloth
>>11717054Likeable, hot. Also people enjoy seeing the torch being passed to a new generation. Manga does this all the time, I think Gohan is the only guy who really failed at surpassing his old man.
>>11717892On the contrary, people are (rightfully) intolerant of legacies. Spider-Girl worked because DeFalco loves ASM to bits and it showed in every page.
>>11717868...Not the best opener to prove the point.
>>11717868>MCU Space Ghost
Professor Hulk is the sexiest figure of 2026
>>11717919this is like the only mezco i regret not buying, no one else seems interested in touching space ghost
>>11717992I found one in a comic shop years ago and I don't regret grabbing him. I did have to go get the Coast to Coast desk and chair set but it was worth it.
>>11717911Contrarian troll
>>11717792>fantastic figureCarlos please...
>>11717892It literally just needs to feel organic and have a purpose. I know this is a marvel thread but Batman Beyond had Bruce being old and retired and then a mentor figure. Mayday was just his daughter and was written by a guy who based it on what it's like to have a cop as a family member or something? You know fucking normal ass life shit not your replacement from another dimension because its 2008 and Obama and we need another demographic.
>>11717879Mezco is like a 1/12 scale hot toys where they use a lot of fabrics. If you want more plastics, you need to look at other brands
>>11717807Don't forget the big ass heads mezco's have.
>>11717773God that fucking rules.
does this piece of this break apart at the waste in any sort of way that looks good>>11717911fuck you tasteless bastard
>>11717992I have the glowy one open box and the non-glowy one sealedI want to crack the normal one and sell the glowy but that doesn't make any sort of financial sense
>>11717807I'm with you anon. I will make some exceptions (Shadow, Doc Savage, Popeye) and Mezco cloth usually looks...ok but it's never my first choice.
>>11718127Not that I've seen, but I can't confirm. You know, you can easily find this info out yourself by googling and watching a review right? Why do you guys rely on the retards here for info?
I belonged in those stories too!Growing up!Fighting alongside you!
>>11717782Doom is pointing and laughing at the people who paid $430 up to $550 the last few weeks buying this second hand.
>>11718331>Fromsoftgiantboss.jpg
>>11718331lil scottie
>>11718321Hey man it's hard to keep these places alive, you ask what questions keep the (You)s coming
>>11718366It's really weird how a whole generation treats message boards or comments sections like they're Google.
>>11718037And the generally stumpy nature of their superhero bucks.
>>11718414It's funny how people bitch about Hasbro reuse but Mezco, imo, does it far more frequently and worse.
Third attempt at a Sentinel battle display after adding a few characters and adjusting the poses and positions. I think it's an improvement overall.>>11718127Doesn't seem like it. Too bad, would have made a nice feature for post battle group shots.>>11718347Kek, I should do a Wolverine inspired Bloodhound Claws build in Elden Ring at some point.>>11718365They call him Slim for a reason right?
>>11718504Man, your pics really are tempting me to get a Sentinel. I can't believe it's still in stock two months later. Fuck, this is going to give me incentive to do my tax return right away. I already got some of my forms, just waiting on a few more.
Pussy Iron Man arrived
>>11718552always has been
>>11718552They fucked up by not getting this out a week ago
>>11718560They should have released it at least three weeks ago for people to get it for Valentine's day. But that's Hasbro in a nutshell, they never release at an appropriate time
>>11718568To be fair, logistically, it isn't the easiest to get orders like that fulfilled exactly by a specific date. Especially since, once these things reach retailers warehouses, it's up to the retailer to get it out to stores, not Hasbro. But, at the same time, you're right in that they could've timed it a little better for a January or December release. Not sure why they didn't.
>>11718573The orders don't have to be fulfilled by a specific date. Just have the street date be the end of January instead of mid February for anyone who's interested to be able to gift it to their significant other Won't complain though, it only cost 23€
>>11718579Yeah, hence why in the 2nd part of my statement I agreed with you.
>>11718552>Pussy Iron Man>not Iron Pussy Man
>>11718127>sentinel still on stock months laterhuge mega flop
>>11718568>they never release at an appropriate timethis is a specialty of theirs
>>11718625Hey, at least it's at a point we're we usually get stuff about a month to a month and a half early. Better than shit being endlessly delayed.
Anyone else disappointed at the piss poor releases announced so far?
>>11718742Not really. I got a bunch of the Secret Wars figs ordered, and while I'm skipping the Bullseye/Muse 2pack since I already have a classic Bullseye, I still think they look good. Same for the Crossing 2 pack. I'm not the biggest fan of that era, but they still look pretty good imo. Maximum Thor is pretty much exactly what I wanted so I'm more than happy about it. Professor Hulk looks great, I'll be getting him for sure. Only real disappointment is Aaron Davis Iron Spider.
>>11718331Why is the Scottlet figure so tiny? Optical illusion? AI altered image?
>>11718742I'm more happy at how bad they are as it means I don't have to buy any of them.
>>11718742Yes I'm most disappointed with the nonabsorbing man and professor hulks heads because they look more cartoon based than comic
So now that most of the flat consumer product tariffs are gone, when do Marvel Legends prices go back down to $24.99? Oh wait, HAHAHAHA
>>11718857My Target is still retailing them for $24.99 in store.
>>11718851Are you blind and/or stupid? Cable is naturally a bigger figure than Cyclops, Cyclops is in the background while Cable is in the foreground, and Cable is on a raised stand. Look at the image for longer than 2 seconds ya dope.
>>11718857Also, I'm more interested in the status of de minimis. A difference of $3 for a Marvel Legend doesn't concern me. I'm more interested in seeing if I'm still stuck paying $40 to ship a single Mafex figure from Japan.
>>11718861de minimis was eliminated in the One Big Beautiful Bill. You have to get rid of that, or at least the part that repealed de minimis.
>>11718858You pay more than the extra $3 in your gas and time. Unless you actually shop for other things besides toys at Target but if so...why?>>11718861Every Mafex I've seen released lately was about equivalent to a good Marvel Legend in look, though better in articulation. I'm disturbed by how they really have gone downhill to the point they aren't really worth the price anymore unless you really need crazy poses.
>>11718870>You pay more than the extra $3 in your gas and timeThere's a Target less than a mile from my house. I walk there and back to my house in like 45 minutes. It's really not a big deal. I don't usually get stuff in store anyway, so whatever.>Every Mafex I've seen released lately was about equivalent to a good Marvel Legend in look, though better in articulation. I'm disturbed by how they really have gone downhill to the point they aren't really worth the price anymore unless you really need crazy poses.I didn't ask
>>11718560They're such slowpokes
>>11718878True that
>>11718873Could make a lot of money to buy toys in 45 minutes but whatever, your business.
>>11718891Lmao, you're a faggot. Imagine being such a fucking sourpuss lol. I'm not poor enough to need to grind every second of the day to afford my hobbies. I'll take the nice stroll over to the store instead, thanks. Go outside you cuck.
>>11718895You look too angered by that post for someone taking leisurely strolls. The stoic knows that the moment another can disturb his mental world, that person has power over him. The stoic therefore remains calm, buys his toys in calm silence, enjoying his hobby in meaningful ways like posing, display, and customizing; without needing to make profanity laced tirades at other collectors.
>>11718921It's a parody of stoic motivational videos, anon.>>11718626It really varies. I've seen some stuff start to come in just on time. I think the early stuff may have been a side effect of tariffs having a weird effect on the ports. I suspect the Deadpool and Wolverine figures will come in just on time since I want it to come in early.
>>11718984We've been getting stuff early since Covid messed with release dates. Everything is listed at least a month after it actually will show up to compensate for everything being delayed during Covid, even after shipping returned to normal, they never re-adjusted the release windows for pre-orders. It's been like this for a few years now.
>>11717868>>11717992Speaking of Mezco, how is the quality of their figures? Do they hold up rough treatment or are they brittle?
>>11719001They're fine
>>11719005As in fine "I can mess around with the accessories, take it outside and do cool poses" fine or just fine like taking utmost care when changing hands otherwise the joint will snap?
>>11719001The figures themselves are fine I haven't had any issues with mine and I have the first DKR Batman stilland he's held up fine. Although I feel like their accessories can be a bit brittle at times. I've almost broken some small, thin pieces because the plastic doesn't really flex at all. Just something to be wary of.
>>11719015Joints won't snap or anything but I dunno if I'd take them outside and risk the cloth goods getting dirty. Especially on the more expensive ones.
>>11719034>>11719035I get it now, thank you anons. I guess I'll pull the trigger with one.
>>11719035Also the pleather they use...pleather always rots away.
>>11718870Honestly, as a mafex collector that mixes them with Marvel Legends, they're not that much better articulated either. The articulation usually looks a bit better due to the type of joints, but in terms of hitting poses, it's either the same or very close. Sometimes I get tempted to sell my Mafexs and just get Legends. I'd save some money and it's close enough.
>>11719089The best parts of Mafex are they're better sculpted without the stupid sculpt breaking cuts and they don't have ratcheting articulation. Smooth articulation is definitely better for hitting poses. If Marvel Legends had smooth articulation though, then I doubt I'd ever buy another Mafex even if they integrate the articulation into a less harsh cut way.
Decided to just say fuck it and pick up the Cap/Venom two pack. I'm normally a chainmail Cap kinda guy, but this is such a perfect 90s Cap that I'm willing to overlook my preference and have it serve as my main representation of the character.>>11718539The Sentinel is super worth it if you can afford one, especially if you're a massive X-Fag like me. Definitely jump through the necessary financial hoops first though. He was a Christmas present to myself, then I filed my return as soon as I was able to pick up the necessary figures to do battle with him haha. Expensive as it always is to get into a new line, realizing a toy dream like having all the X-Men fight a Sentinel on a shelf was just too good to pass up.
What are the figures that once you guys get, you can retire straightaway?
>>11719303Blue Venom is also great. Nice to have some Spidey related stuff in the collection even if I'm mostly keeping it confined to X-Men and 90s Marvel stuff right now.
>>11719307Moc Luke Skywalker from the 77 kenner line. Nothing from marvel Legends is worth that much though
>>11719303The Cap/Venom set bit deep discount a while ago. I got mine for like $30
>>11719342Damn, that's good a deal. I bought it for 58 because that seemed as low the Amazon algorithm was willing to go. Oh well, better to pay retail than the late tax.
Featuring Wolverine!
>>11719311I really do hate his gummy legs, but man does he pop on shelf. That Cap and Venom two pack has been my favorite Legends purchase in awhile.
>>11719311I really do like him a lot more than I thought I would. In person, the blue is really just the right shade. It always looked too bright in photos but I chalk that up to harsh lighting and camera exposure and what not. But in person, he really does look good. He's not my shelf Venom, that's still reserved for the Mafex and for the Retro carded version since I prefer black Venom, but it is nice to have blue Venom too.
>>11717868which version is this? I have Mezco Space Ghost but it doesnt have the same fabric texture shown in your pic
>>11718857I mean I can't complain...
>>11718857You have no idea how stupid you look
>>11719001they're fine but the spandex on them is thin and can get snagged on joints or your nails and get scuffed up if you're not careful
>>11719494>>11719510I'm more impressed with him the more I mess around with him. I'd love to get regular black Venom (or TAS red Venom) eventually, but the MvC2 look has always been one of my favorites for him and this version of it really does have strong shelf presence. It actually got me looking at the Mafex earlier, which doesn't look bad, but something feels missing from him without a green slimy tongue head.
>>11719512NTA but mine doesn't have that texture either. Could be the glow in the dark version. Or a bootleg.
>>11719590looks like an official promo image. You may be right on the glow in the dark version, or maybe they used a not-final-version for the pic
>>11719595The glow one is coated in some vinyl shit because you can’t make fabric glow
>>11718579>significant otherBe honest, You mean your mom getting it for you.
Yeah, I definitely gotta pick up the rest of these.
>>11719646Nice posing.
>>11719661lol
>>11719562you're gonna have to explain for the rest of us idiots
>>11719679I was actually being serious, he did a good job.
>>11719756c'mon, man.
>>11719775They're pretty good. Not sure what problem you have with them.
>>11719336What about ml figures?
Now this is a proper clearance price, Walmart. Took you long enough.
>>11719900I'd probably grab that Daredevil
>>11719900Live action sludge needs to stop.
>>11719924The brand new day figures will fly off shelves. You guys are going to shit when you see spidey and scorpion
>>11717773I don’t care for maximum Thor since I don’t like the modern Thor design. Should I wait for the eventual pinless classic Thor or buy the 80th anniversary Thor?
>>11719661Thanks. Half the fun of getting new figures to me is running them through the iconic poses and MvC2 provides a lot to work with on that front.>>11719679>>11719756>>11719775>>11719827Love how in every general the anons talking the loudest shit never actually post any of their toys.
>>11719980Why is that anyways?
>>11719981I feel like a lot of it stems from jealousy. What I've gathered is the current user base of /toy/ isn't as financially stable as they were in the past. This causes them to only get maybe a handful of figures a year. When they see someone who regularly gets new figures or gets a lot at once, they get mad and jealous so they lash out. Being critical of posing, even when it's done well is just the lowest hanging fruit. Most of these kiddos grew up with common core so they're only really capable of the lowest common denominator type insults.
>>11720158
>>11720158>>11720161>>11720162Genuine question, but who still even buys these? MCU popularity has long since faded, meaning the causal isn't going in to a random LCS and buying one because they look so realistic. I guess Hot Toys has enough dedicated fans to keep going.
>>11720174I mean, regardless of the movies, the Iron Man looks badass.
>>11720180Ok, fair enough. I'll give you that one.
>>11720174I chalk continued production of MCU figures as contractual obligations, though those phase 1-3 looks are fairly iconic/evergreen.
Hopefully a Maximum Wolverine isn't far off. Every goddamn tiger stripe figure has something wrong with it, even the imports. Too tall, lack of painted arm hair, blue stripes, bad claw shape, no angry head, etc. The Love Triangle one is close, but dated. I think I'm going to buy the Astonishing figure and use it as a placeholder.
>>1172019797 Wolverine is pretty much perfect for me. Only thing is it's lacking the angry head, but I have the Love Triangle 3 pack and that works well enough even though the skin tones don't match, it's not as noticeable in person.
>>11720197MVC Wolverine just doesn't work, just looks like a McFarlane among Marvel Legends
