Just picked up some Warhammer 40k figures for painting. Don’t play but enjoy the aesthetic and painting process. Will post in about 6 months when done!!

You probably already know, but its called plastic-crack for a reason. Beware the pile-of-shame!
Me right now...
Yea, I really liked it and was thinking ...hmmmm, maybe later on...then I saw the retro marvel stuff and well , we all know how that would play out...
I found out yesterday that a friend is going up there today ....so...I may have sent him $100 and links to both of the retro Transformers....
Bollocks, both sold out.

McFarlane Toys Obtains Marvel Toys License
McFarlane Toys and Marvel will be teaming up to produce new toys and statues based on the Marvel Comics universe, starting this summer. No, this is not a replacement for the long running Hasbro Marvel Legends series, but rather new POSED figures and statues in the 1:10 (7 inch) and 1:6 scale...
www.toyark.com
McFarlane to collaborate with Marvel on some posed figures and statues . Not getting rid of the Hasbro Legends.
^ They seem to say "posed figures" instead of zero POA statues. Good for those who want the McF art in figure form. I'd rather have Jim Lee art figures, not zero POA statues though.
I remember Dwight from Hasbro once said they try not to make the ML in any particular artist's art.

That's what we called Heroclix too.
Well, when my mate found the booth the Transformers had both sold out . C'est la vie . Probably just as well as I forgot that they are all plastic now, not die cast as they used to be and they might have niggled me .
Anyway, a couple of observations
The new Warbird figure looks Great
The Luke Cage one looks okay on-line but seeing it in real life it looks badly proportioned . I'm not sure but it looks like he's skipped leg day and had them shortened...

Not sure if anyone here watches the Masked Singer, but this year they had a guy singing in a giant gumball machine suit and the dude was Scott Porter who is a BIG Heroclix fan and holds a charity event each year. They even made 2 Heroclix figures of him since he does the majority of the unboxing videos for Wizkids.
Just a cool little factoid.

I had (still have, actually, but unfortunately water damaged card) the first of the Star Trek Micro Machines collection boxes from the 90s and was interested in the Attack Wing game WizKids did. I got the starter box and wasn't impressed by the model quality and didn't collect any further. The X-Wing game by FFG used the same template-based movement and seemed to get much nicer models, but I'm not a big enough SW fan to have gotten into it.

From a toy forum post, seems like Phoenix had some sort of McF convention panel slideshow and they had 7" scale classic comic Megafig Darkseid with soft goods cape, Super Powers Guy Gardner. I think those were the only two I was interested in.
I went to the Honolulu Don Quijote store and that one has a human sized RG style detailed RX-78 display. Looked super good. They had the biggest variety and sheer number of Gunpla I've seen maybe not counting Akihabara. The main Gunpla area was big and the surrounding area overflowed with more Gunpla in the aisle, on the other side of the boundary. I think they had Macross and Digimon, One Piece, old original Gundam Guntank, Guncannon. This has to be the best immediate emergency Gunpla shopping place in the state.
I saw IBO, Witch of Mercury, big ZZ kits. They also had a nice display case of completed HG sized models.

I must've missed that one!
I did snag this one a LOOOOONG time ago.
Then this one a few years later.
No cloth cape, but it comes with the "Throne of Latveria".
I pre-ordered this one around last year and it came in earlier!

It's out for sale already? I was wondering if it's something I could wait to buy cheap later... or just stick to Super Powers scale. The 7" scale one does look a bit fatso.
