Anon that's been Sentinel posting for the last couple of weeks here. It took them longer than usual to ship mine too. Also, all the stuff that's come from Pulse via Fedex for me never required a signature on delivery, but that one did and I can only assume it's due to the price of the item in question.

they delete pol shit eventually
particularly pol shit related to a certain orange jesus
they do ban for all sorts of weird shit like trolling and doxing even though it happens daily and not everyone who does shit, like dox themself in a photo and then get doxed by someone else who stalks them on reddit or facebook, gets a ban
but anyone who manages to get a persistent stalker eventually gets a ban
it probably gives the janitors a boner to do that

The X-Men ones have been pretty easy to get as of late once they release at least. My local Target had a ton of Storms, WeaponXs, and Mystiques. Storm and Wolverine even hit discount. I doubt Onslaught will be that tough to get when he comes out.

Except how all the retro carded x men stuff has been hitting discount after it released. Savage Land Chuck, X Factor Jean, Weapon X, Outback Storm, all these figures have come out within the last year. All these figures have not $15.99 at one point or another on Target's website. Stop panicking. You'll get Onslaught, maybe even at a discount if you can be patient.

>>11728264
NTA but I don't think you'll need to panic if you miss Onslaught's pre order. Once he actually hits stores you'll be able to get him. None of the other retro carded X-Men have sold out. Even Mystique is still floating around my local stores. They've all hit clearance, Onslaught will more than likely do the same.
The Gamerverse 2 pack and Warbird weren't part of the retro X-Men assortment, they seem to flood stores with the retro carded stuff, not sure why though. Maybe because they can fit more units on a peg.

I know it's not an action figure but I don't know where else to ask. This is a statue by Kotobukiya and it says 1/6 scale. Do you think an X-Men fan would like this? It's expensive but he is a good friend and I thought that it would be cool to buy him something he wouldn't normally buy himself. Do action figure collectors appreciate stautes as well? Is this a good brand?
>>
>>
>>11729578
Koto is great. Their stuff either bins or moons in price. My mass effect statue is worth over 1k now. Does the person have other statues in their home? If not if may just end up being just another thing he has to dust. Most collectors like posing their collection. Is cable his favorite character?
>>
>>11729578
>Do action figure collectors appreciate stautes as well?
Some do, it depends on what he already owns/displays. But typically no, since they take up a ton of space that he'd have to accommodate. If you ask me, and since you're willing to spend, I would buy import figures. But again, that depends on if that's something he doesn't typically get.
>>
>>11729578
I've been on the receiving end of this kind of scenario so I'll throw my two cents in. I originally started with DC statues but quickly made the leap to figures when I wanted to get some Marvel rep on my shelf and ML turned out to be the best offering for building an all out universe, so I made the switch but still have statues sprinkled around my collection. A few years after amassing my figure collection I did get a Spider-Man statue from my mom as w Christmas gift ome year. It was something I never would've bought myself. It was a company I don't usually buy from, a version of the character I didn't particularly care for, and wasn't in scale with anything I already had. Still though, it was a nice looking statue and I still found a way to incorporate it into my collection. I think the fact that it was a gift is what makes me hang on to it despite it not being my cup of tea. So it being a gift goes a long way imo. However if it's just some statue of a random Marvel character or something that you don't know if he likes or not also says something too. While I didn't like that particular version of Spider-Man the statue I got was based off, I still love Spider-Man as a character so I had no problem adding it to my Spidey collection. If he really likes Cable, I'd say go for it, it's a cool looking statue and if it's a character he likes, I'm sure he'd find a way to incorporate it into his collection.
>>
>>11729578
Statues can be cool but that particular statue seems like one that you wouldn't be super into unless you really like Cable. And he's far more niche than Wolverine, Gambit, or Cyclops. So it might not be as welcome in a collection unless you know they're a hardcore fan of him,
>>
>>
>>
>>11729578
>and I thought that it would be cool to buy him something he wouldn't normally buy himself.
This is a good impulse.
And as someone who is more of an action figure fan, I do own and like statues.
But I wouldn't buy him something that expensive (although you can find new, in box Kotos for less than they retail if you look around).
OTOH, I do agree with the people who talk about the space issue, and especially with this anon >>11729677 comments, particularly with only knowing he's generically an "X-Men fan" since it's a huge cast of characters there.
I do think this anon >>11729629 made some good points, I have gifts that were given to me that I later sold (I was moving and some were too huge to move - not talking collectibles here, obviously) but some I have hung onto, not because I was that attached, but because it was a gift.
tl;dr for the same amount of money that you are thinking of paying or less, you could order him a mini-bust by Diamond Select of the X-Men animated series, that currently range in price between $40-$70 at BBTS: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?HideInStock=false&HidePreorder=f alse&HideSoldOut=false&InventorySta tus=i,p,so&PageSize=20&SortOrder=Re levance&Company=3&FeaturedIn=13648
Bust take up far less space that a statue so that answers that issue, and here you have more options in X-Men characters, in case he's not that huge into Cable in particular.

Sure. And since Onslaught is part of that same assortment, it's reasonable to assume that he will do the same. Once these guys actually hit stores, they just aren't hard to get. My local stores get like 8 or 9 each and then they sit there until Target discounts them. Same for the website. This has happened for each release so far. No reason to think it won't happen for Onslaught.

So if the main thing I want is a head that IS this or looks closest to this, I am better off paying a scalper for the Retro than I am trying to get the Figure Arts, which looks more like the Peter B. Parker head than anything else:
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/product/spider-man-across-spider-verse- shfiguarts-scarlet-spider-action-fi gure-166665
Or is the Mafex 143 that much better, because those two imports of Ben, look really drastically different from one another - unmasked head-wise.
And only the Mafex comes somewhat close to the Retro ML while still looking like he's going out to a 1990s nightclub?

>>11730966
Because then a bunch of people would bitch because he only got 90 degrees of thigh rotation total, or that he could only kick out to 85 degrees, because Bandai didn't bother with drop-down hips.
As much as I find you "shf thong" haters funny, I'm equally guilty of such autism with Hasbro's horrific thigh and boot cuts. *shrug*.
>>
>>
>>11730994
Yeah, I thought about it, but that head yells 1990s Superboy nightclub, and I prefer the more natural looking head of the retro carded.
But PICREL is an older buck and sucks, supposedly?
>>
>>11731030
Sounds like you have your heart set on the retro then. I wouldn't pay too much for it. I'd actually sell you the figure as I have it and since upgraded it to the newer retro one, but I'd keep the Ben head, I use it for a kitbash unflamed Johnny Storm. So it wouldn't really do you any good lol. Still, I think the CT is your best option price wise if you're just looking for the head.

What's a hyper-specific and nitpicky figure revision you really want?
Personally, I want a more accurate Doug Moench-era Moon Knight. I have the Retro-card Marvel Legends figure, and he's great - but it does make my eye twitch just a lil bit, because it feels like his costume's colors got reversed.
This's better seen in the Hulk Mag stories where they had better coloring, but even in his solo series, it's clear that the main body of the costume was intended to be silver - his belt, gloves, boots, cape+cowl, and symbol were white.
On the Retro figure, he entire costume is white, but those same parts I just mentioned are in a more pearly or shiny plastic.
Also, we still don't have any MK figure that has his truncheon (which turned into nunchucks or a grappling hook). It was his main weapon, yet the figures only give us a long staff.
(What comic did that staff come from, anyway? It wasn't any MK comics I've read, I only know it from Marvel Ultimate Alliance).
>>
>>11731073
I want a version of Mastermind and/or Jason Wyngarde that's actually accurate
The only one we got was based on a cover for a comic that he wasn't even in and has a color scheme he never wore, it was actually an illusion of him ironically enough
>>
>>11731073
I've been kinda getting mine the last few years. I was dying for a redo of the Astonishing X-Men, and according to Amazon, I'll have that team knocked out next month with that last two pack. I also wanted 2000s versions of characters like Thor and Iron Man, I got Extremis Iron Man, my favorite suit, twice, now I'm getting Maximum Thor which scratches that itch. I'd suggest a modern style Cap but really it's not that different from the 20th Cap, just swap in a pouch belt and maybe a slightly different mask. I also have gotten redos of the Dark Avengers which I thought they'd never actually get to. I'm just waiting for them to do a DnA style GotG since the last set is ancient by today's standards. Really, after Maximum Thor comes out, save for a handful of figs like the GotG and a new Yellowjacket, I'd be set for the long haul and would be reasonably happy with my Marvel Universe that I've built over the years.

Ok, so he was short for a very particular time (the early to mid 60s). He's depicted as taller and pretty much every subsequent appearance since. So for the majority of his appearances he's taller. You're just looking to argue for the sake for arguing now.

Kirby was still drawing Thor in the late 60s too, you know. When Thor started being drawn as taller than others.
It's like if half of all Thing action figures still depicted him as a weird muddy monster like he was in the first single-digit F4 issues. "duhh but he was drawn that way for a time tho"

Blink (AOA), Sabretooth (AOA), Morph (AOA or X-men '97), Spider-man 2099 (Retro), Heather Hudson (Sasquatch) and Power Princess.
And the Wolverine Squad composed of Logan variants (Patch; Zombie Wolvie; Albert; Elsie-Dee; Weapon X; James Howlett; Major Logan)
I have to find Heather Hudson/Sasquatch and Power Princess and do my research on the available Wolverine figures.

Thanks I've got someone whose agreeing to sell it to me for $45 but that's used, same as you, and with the head. We're just talking about other crap he has for sale and not listed. One sold new for about that so I could wait as well.
>kitbash
That's part of why I want the head - not for Johnny but just generally. I've been buying cheap MLs on-line and playing with the heads.
But you're right, I could order the CT and also play with that head. So you think the CT is good but you also would recommend the Retro body even if you're willing to part with it? I also do want a body I can use.
I just got the OTHER masked retro Scarlet Spider, and it's fun but I wouldn't mind having both to pose.

I just saw they were doing AY Iron Man. I wonder if they'll fix the red paint issue where he got all sticky. Mine is pretty terrible now, which sucks, it's a great figure otherwise.

Metallic red paint on a soft plastic will pretty much always do that after a certain point, there are many examples of it happening to figures from various lines
>>
>>11731555
I have a mcfarlane from 2004 with metallic paint on soft PVC. It isn't sticky. Companies now are just retarded or cheap out because they know all they have to do is sell the figure, they don't care what happens after. They didn't want to make a quality product in the first place.
>>
>>11731555
>>11731581
Yeah, I haven't had many other figures have this issue, my Harley Quinn from the same company doesn't have the problem, and she has pretty much the same shade of metallic red paint as Iron man does.

Well it's red and that red is metallic. I don't know the EXACT name of the color that the factories and companies would use.
>>
>>
>>11731614
Interesting, maybe they are cheaping out on something nowadays. All I know is that I've had a good handful of metallic red figures fade and get sticky over the past 10-15 years and when looking into it, I always find many other examples online of people having similar issues with metallic red figures. It's why I've pretty much stayed away from any import IM figures.
>>
>>11731620
Reminds me of how my MMPR the Movie metallic Red Ranger was the only one of my rangers to flake. I had all six too, but it was just my red that faded. I wonder if I still have it with all the other old toys from my childhood that my mom gave me after cleaning out her house. I really should go through that some day, it's just sitting in my garage right now.

confirmed. Maximum gives you the most for your money... if you even care about the extra plastic in a Maximum box.
the most I want from action figures are alternate heads and hands since they're more useful for displaying emotions than a web shield, for example Maximum Hulk did right by including multiples heads while the thunderclap and missiles are chilling in a jewelry box.
Creel will get more mileage out of 2 heads than he would with a rock arm.

As promised
This thing is awesome. This photo is not edited at all, just slapped it on top of my laptop screen and took it with my phone and the figure really just looks incredible.
I'd love for these guys to make a Spiderman Unlimited with this cel shading, I suppose the odds of that aren't great.

So you really think these are that much better than the CTs? Do either of those come with an unmasked head. If so, would you please pose a snap shot of that?
I'm going to buy the CT of >>11727411 that suit, it's actually in my cart but I need to sort out what else I am Choice Buying. But I was going to pick up the cell shaded at some point down the line, for the unmasked head, harvest it and dump the rest of the figure on eBay with a $5 discount and sell it off since I don't like the suit or the cell shading on it.
And this isn't a dig, I'm just not a fan of cell-shading. I've seen some, actually on a Spider-Man from the 1990s or 2000s, don't remember it was old, where it actually looked appropriate but the first time I saw a video, which happened to be a Mafex, I just thought it looked strange as the guy put it through it's pose.
But then again, I'm someone who would pick something that looked aesthetically really good in my BFA eyes versus something that articulated to here and back again and looked (to me) strange) - a perfect example of this is here: >>11731691

Mess toys is CT. They just call their AY knock offs Mess Toys for whatever reason. I think they had to change the name or something, I don't really know. The AY stuff they're more likely to do original figures for though, as they've done with the several Spider Man variants. They haven't done that with Mafex knock offs for whatever reason.

My experience with CT toys has been not that great. I assume most of the people glazing them online dont have much experience with authentic high-end figures because as good as they are they are still very much bootlegs.
Agent Venom looks great, and you get the bonus head which makes it worth it on its own. However, after about an hour of posing, half the joints started going loose one by one. Also my copy had two mismolded sockets and I fucked one of them up badly fixing it.

My experience with CT Toys Gambit was worse. Much worse. Out of the box he had multiple floppy loose joins and a leg that fell off at the knee. Luckily I am perfectly able to fix all these types of issues. The things I can’t fix about Gambit are his poorly tailored jacket and wonky joints. I already don’t care for Mafex bucks and this figure introduces several new issues to the joint setup. He has a gap in his abs and his knees won’t straighten out fully

With the stock at ollie thinned out of at least the Black Panther shit and most of the Star Wars after reducing the prices to $1-$5, I think it's gonna big another big summer of Hasbro trash this year for Ollies. A shot ton of GI Joes, ML C and D lister figures, 2 packs, deluxe figs, all the shit you never saw at Target and WM. ROSS and DDs continue to get new stock of unsold waves. Found myself a Hulk Scaak for $10 at Ross the other day. Gonna be wild seeing those gamervers and thundebolts 2 packs stacked like the X-Men blue and gold three packs.

I feel like you might've gotten screwed on QC. I don't have the CT Toys Gambit yet, but have been considering buying one to go with my 97 figures since the Legends' articulation is fucked by the plastic coat. I watched a couple of reviews and even the ones where the reviewer has the official figure, they're usually pretty satisfied with the quality. There's also ones from different factories floating around, too, I think.

>I don’t have it but I know better than you
Yes I know I too saw the reviews saying it’s good and now I’m saying it’s not. Maybe the QC bug got me thats true but beyond that there are some inherent issues here, particularly the jacket. The sleeves look like big tubes compared to the original. Also they skimped out on some stitching the original has which is supposed to tack down the extra fabric from the lapels. It comes out exactly like the Toybiz’s jacket did. Sloppy paint is another widely reported issue. This figure is actually entirely made of white plastic thats been painted. And yes it’s CT not a 4th party bootleg. It just not that great, at all
>>
>>11732233
>Mess toys is CT.
That I know. I consdiered getting that Black Spider-Man and think it's an interesting design but I just don't get why everyone is so fascinated by the concept or by Venom (or any of the variants). It's the jokerfication of Marvel, IMHO.
And I know that Mess Toys is more original, I was asking if it's really that much of an improvement? The cost is not much more, so it's not that, it's just that they are harder to legit order without paying for shipping and taxes and I'd rather have that plus save the extra - what is it $5-10 per fig, to get a head sculpt I like. That's why I wanted to know if it came with one.
Even if I don't pose them much unmasked, I like having the option. Just like having extra heads, hands, and other crap is a nice option.

I have had pretty much the same experience as you anon. They're very VERY mid. Especially when you compare them to their authentic counterparts. I don't have any of the Mess Toys stuff, though. Closest thing I have is Agent Anti Venom but I'm pretty sure he's still considered CT. I will admit he's definitely the best out of the three I have. I've been tempted to try one of the Mess Toys ones but nothing has really excited me, their Spidey's are nice, but I'm not a fan of a lot of the asthetic choices they make.
>>
>>11732274
I doubt it anon. The only reason there was such a glutton of stuff in the first place is because Hasbro massively overproduced the stuff in the year following Covid. Compared to how they produce stuff today, I doubt you'll see anything but scraps.

Several hideous joints are the trade-off for some truly excellent posabilty. Other than the joints, there’s nothing to hate about their aesthetic. It’s a really nice body. Total hand candy. Pic rel in the car because I took him with me like a child, first time Ive done this in ages but I was enamored with this figure when I got it lol
>>
>>11732323
It's not the joints or anything I dislike, it's just some of the stylization they've given to specific figures. For instance, I just don't like the way they did the big white spider on Black Suit Spidey. That's not to say it's bad by any means, it's just not what I like. I like the way the spider looks on the Mafex and the retro carded ML personally. So it's just stuff like that.

I was just giving and example of what I meant by disliking the asthetics they choose. There's nothing wrong with you or anyone else liking them, they're just not for me. I don't buy toys because "they're an amazing figure for $35" or whatever, I buy them because I like the asthetic and look of a particular figure. I don't think that's weird or anything.

So is this why there is no Mafex gen at this time? Amiami just called them out. I've only ever gotten 1 mafex and it didnt have any problems (Spider-Gwen) but I didn't notice any issues. Is it becoming more common among the Marvel Mafexes you guys are getting? Is their factory basically just going down the drain? Maybe this is why Rogue got delayed so much
>>
>>
>>
>>11732340
I haven't had any issues with any of mine, but I wouldn't be surprised if the factories aren't being particularly careful. Word is they're pretty fed up with Medicom's short-run reissues being prioritized over the larger and more profitable new release prodution. Guess I'll need to look closely at my Rogue, if she ever ships.

Mafex quality hasn't gotten worse in that time period, so who knows.

Anyway, nice setup. How's that Storm hold up? I prefer the long hair over the 97's mohawk and was thinking of getting the Outback version as a placeholder for the pinless and better face paint, but I feel it'll look strange with the 97 figures.

The Outback head is the same as the Jim Lee version. You should be able to find headswaps. But other than the skin tones being different, the head should look ok on the 97 Storm.

>They take poll results and fan feedback seriously, supposedly, so when they do them definitely fill 'em out.
Supposedly they did a Gamerverse poll but I can’t find any evidence it ever existed much less the results

Finally caved and ordered the old Professor X figure while he's on sale from BBTS, so expect the 97 release any day now. Also got Rogue, who's back in stock for a slight mark up of $32.99 for any other latefags like me. Better than ebay prices at least.

>>11735409
Like I said, compared to the ebay prices where it's going for $45+, yeah. Would I rather have gotten it when it was $25? Of course.
>>11735570
I've been collecting since 09. The way import lines like SHF and Figma have shot up to 2-3 times what they used to cost doesn't leave me much energy to gripe about $8.
>>
>>11735570
And they used to be $16 before that.
>In that realm $8 is almost a 50% markup
But we're not talking in the realm for $20 anymore, we're talking $25, $27 really.
>>11735579
Then stop collecting toys, I dunno what to tell you. Everything has gotten more expensive, exponentially really since these things were $15. Get a grip.
>>11735625
Just ignore these dweebs, they'll find a reason to bitch about fucking anything.

That's a good price for 97 Rogue. I've been playing catch up with the other 97 figures and I wish I could have found her for closer to retail, but Magneto and Storm ended up being such mother fuckers to acquire that I just ended up just buying an eBay lot for the first wave.
Professor X's hoverchair is pretty cool too and worth it at the BBTS sale price. Maybe consider tracking down Savage Land Xavier though, because I think the Xavier that comes with it looks kind of shitty.

溫水煮蛙 (Frog in warm water). Put a frog in hot water, it will jump out immediately. But if you put it in a room temperature water and slowly boil it, it'll stay there until it dies.
In three years, ML figures will cost $50 while having only a blank figure with no accessories and they'll still defend the company.

Do I need to explain averages to you? Some things increase at a slower than average rate and offset the faster than average rate items like beef and toys. So not Everything is going up faster than inflation.
>>
>>11735916
Just the vast majority of products. Plug anything into your inflation calculator and you'll see everything is more expensive than it should be. Do you actually live under a rock? This has been a nationwide issue for fucking years now.

And TVs are exponentially cheaper than they were in decades prior. I'm not denying that there are exceptions to the rule, but when you look at pricing of most products, they've increased. Housing, food, necessities, all across the board have skyrocketed well beyond the inflation rate. This was kind of a huge talking point during the last election cycle that they're now brushing under the rug to fund another war for Israel.
I'm sorry but it's super weird that you guys think toys increasing at a price higher than inflation exists in a total vacuum and that it isn't happening with everything.
>>
>>11735978
All I said was it wasn't "everything" increasing at a higher rate like >>11735827 said. Some things definitely increase above rate of inflation just as others are below.

/toy is really not beating the allegations that they only buy toys while their elderly parents still buy everything else for them. You can tell who still lives at home.
