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.

The pre-orders are up. The only place I could score one was at the D.C. website that I linked. It's a mock-up so far and I don't think that it'll look exactly like that on release as the belt is just plain.

I watched a bit of the recent McF interview with Shartimus Prime and sounded like McF gives zero shits about the "posed figure" statues being in uniform scale.

"Bane" variant is an Amazon exclusive.


Also, Hasbro Pulse is on June 4 at 11 A.M. EST.

We're a couple of hundred pounds in so far with another similar amount to follow. So... maybe looking at $500 . Currently.

Ended up with -

Marvel legends retro

- Green Goblin
-Rogue
-Sandman
-Gambit

Fucking delighted with those , paid more than normal for them but they're from a genuine shop and not something dodgy off of eBay and I got to see the card before and the eBay version s can be very expensive..These were overpriced but reasonably so if that makes sense...?

Marvel Legends -

Blob ( good price too - makes up somewhat for the overpayment on the retro legends)

6 x Marvel Conan comics
4 x Judge Dredd omnibuses
4 x Dark Horse Conan


+Stuff for daughter who joined me.


£300 ISH spent so about $380 .

I bottled out of buying the Soundwave 40 year anniversary retro edition and I'm now regretting it somewhat as the damn thing isn't even listed on the company's website as in stock that were selling it ...along with Blaster and Steeljaw..

I googled the retros and they look like the figures you get for $5 at Dollarama? Or are the ones you bought actually retro lol idk.

Either way I bought a Venom for my friend’s nephew. I’ve been getting a lot of cheap action figures and wrestling figures there for the past year. My favorites being the WWE Masters of the Universe figures. Very cool and for $5, can’t go wrong!

Decided to get the Lego Wolverine Claws. I have a feeling they are going to be a popular set when the Deadpool and Wolverine movie comes out.

 

[GSP_37]

Seems there's a Lego Ideas Thundercats Thunder Tank that needs votes.

Tues is Hasbro GI Joe livestream at 11a ET and likely pre-orders that day.

I'm guessing Dollarama is a US/Canadian shop ?

I wish we could have that if that's what they sell for over there.... they're modern day release figures on retro cards but the figures are styled after Marvel characters from the 70s,80s or similar that I particularly like. .

Canadian yeah. They get a lot of leftover stock from other stores. The figures are being sold right now at Walmart for $20 as well, same variety and everything. So I think it’s easy to spend more than you want to on them if you don’t have a discount store that’s also scooped them up.

Macy's Toys R Us had a bunch of McF comic pack 3" Page Punchers and Super7 GI Joe ReAction discounted in some back aisle cap like it's ashameful to stock so much product people didn't want to buy. The Toys R Us inside Macy's seemed just poorly managed. They have D&D movie figures inside display case as if better lock them up in there or else people will shoplift them.

Yea, there's the whole normal supply and demand thing going on in these figures - things like the Spiderman retro figures generally sell ( out) quickly, others are less popular. Figures like Falcon , Scarlet Witch, White Vision and Loki have either been overstocked / made or no one likes them as you can find them most places at cheap prices of around 15 Canadian dollars.

Most figures start retail at 43 Canadian dollars but there's a lot on eBay that have sold out in the shops and are jacked up.....the figures I bought from Comic con were more expensive than normal but I've never seen them ( except one and she sold out in minutes) in the UK apart from eBay where folks are asking way too much for my liking...

Picked up some Bloodborne figures from Figma that were on sale recently, also got a weapons set. I’ll post pics when I pose them. Also preordered this Revoltech Ryu Hyabusa because that’s easily the most badass ninja design and the figure looks incredible.

Heck, wish I had known this. The friend whose nephew I buy for is in the UK. Had I known they were hard to get over there I would have stocked him up. I think they’re finally sold out now I’m not sure, will have to look next time I’m in.

I get your struggle tho. In Canada everything is jacked up plus minimum $20-$30 shipping. I get so fukkin pissed lmao.

Haven’t bought a doll since March. This one went on a super cheap sale and the 80s outfit vibes hit me just right. I’m not big on Monster High, but we’ll see. The last Monster High doll I got I wasn’t that impressed and sold it off.

If you’re interested go through the company in the tweet. They include an extra sword in their preorder.

literally was the first thing i did after i hit ‘post reply’

Man! I've had this one on pre-order since Winter! Finally came in! Yamaguchi has some amazing detail.

 

[Strychnine]

Armored Batman from the "Kingdom Come" universe.

Had to order this one from BigBad. I feel that THIS is how a modern Black Manta figure should look. It just oozes lethality and badassery.
