So im doing a separate double post *GASP!* because my friend is at NYCC and I wanted to let you guys have an update on what is there and all that fun stuff. So he was able to snag me Ermac, Smoke and Rain. They didnt have a Scorpion but they did have a bloody Noob but they were selling him for $70, $77 after tax or something like that. Also Ermac wasnt $55 like he was at SDCC.. he was also $70!! So I got a hefty bill coming to me from my friend but like I said in an earlier post, Id be glad to just get Ermac, Smoke and Rain.. Altho I really wanted a Noob to go with my Smoke. ? No way in hell im paying $90 for him. The bloody $70 version on BBTS is already hard enough to swallow. I think Storm is starting to up their prices and its worrying the hell out of me. Ive seen alot of random non msrp pricings and they are only inflating more and more. I dont like seeing this trend. 

Yes it's annoying because it seems like they artificially lowered the initial prices for $50 to get people hooked up and now if you want to keep collecting you gotta pay whatever they are asking.  So it now has come to a point that you have to choose a line. They are diversifying with other franchises like KoF and Tekken. The collection is growing relatively fast and it's hard to keep it up.

Is nobody going to comment of the fact that I said LANGUAGE? ;)

Well it seems like they are constantly changing their pricepoints and not staying consistent. Some lines are cheaper than others due to most likely less popularity and then others just start skyrocketing strictly due to their popularity. Its kind of infuriating. I want a strict MSRP on these bastids and not have to pay more because they suddenly have garnered interest by more people.

You know you can buy bafs online for fairly affordable prices right? or buy a wave and sell the ones you dont want on ebay. Its what I tend to do.

I’ve heard that there are places online where you can pick them up, completed... I’m honestly not too knowledgeable about it beyond that, though. I’ve seen one or two listings on eBay and such, which go back and forth between being super expensive, tentatively legit ones, and wholly underpriced, Chinese knock-offs. If I had the funds it took to pick up a whole wave, believe me, I absolutely would do it that way. But, I can barely afford two MLs a month, if I haven’t found something else I want just a bit more. So, sadly my options are always super limited, in that regard.

Mantis wave is all $5 at these stores called Five Below, if you dont have one of those, you should join this FB group Im a part of and get some of the guys to hook you up.

I only recently heard of Five Below, and found out that there is one store located a bit of a ways away from me... It’ll take some figuring out the bus routes and such, to be able to check it out, at some point. I’d be interested in checking out that FB group as well, as I check into my account fairly often.

Congratulations on being able to snag the top three that you wanted... That’s pretty cool. And yea, I echo your sentiments that hopefully this isn’t a continuing trend with the ever-growing price points for these guys. I’d say that that’s beginning to get worrisome across the board these days.

Yeah man I can understand that. Im about to be in that boat here not too shortly as well. Until I find a way to get some income coming back at me again. There are some shops around me that also sell figs that have BAFs. See if there are any near you and maybe they have some affordable prices.

Well the group is called Marvel Legends Collecting. They do news and people talk legends as well as sell their figs on that page. Its an overall cool group. 

Thanks. Its going to cost part of my soul but I was prepared to take a hit. Its only going to get crazy with the more they release. I havent seen any new stuff from them from NYCC except an alt colored Rugal which damn well better be an exclusive and not the official release and then put default Rugal as an exclusive. I will effing end it right then and there if thats how they are going to go about their stuff from now on. I will not go con hunting just to get the damn default looks of the characters they make. They will go from one of my favorite must watch companies to most hated and dont ever talk to me again companies. EDIT: after re-reading my post I came to the realization that Ive seen the default Rugal up for sale on BBTS and EE so thats not the case. Im just paranoid after the ninjas that they are going to pull this ish again and often that and the whole price inflation of Ermac from SDCC to NYCC. bunch of bs.

AHHHHH!!! I take your advice and took a little break and now there is way too much I want to reply too! ? lol I actually started to reply to the original response the other day but it ended up becoming a rant about online dating for some reason and became so off topic even for the already off topic conversation we were having. Anyways most of the stuff was covered anyways but I'm glad everyone was able to continue while I was away. 

So were Smoke and Rain $70 also? I'm getting a little anxious now since BBTS still haven't put up any preorders for them or the Chun Li, I really don't want to pay anymore than $90 on these guys and the $55 for the bloody versions is really not looking too bad, plus I got the arriving soon notification yesterday, I really wonder how hard it would be to repaint them or if its just a matter of getting some nail polish remover to get rid of the blood, if so I may just do that.

Ironically the convo got larger but now has very much slowed to a crawl. I kind of assumed you took a break as I didnt see you putting out any posts or jumping in on these threads at all. Smoke and Rain were the normal $55 thankfully. I would just go for the $55. You are almost spending DOUBLE to get them unbloodied when the blood is kind of pertinent to the characters and their subject matter. Yes they arent as uniform as you would like but you could pretty much buy 4 for the price of 2. Unless you got money blasting out of your ears, I would definitely go for the cheap route. Unless they sell them at $70 but since Ermac is at an astounding $90 on BBTS, I would assume they will be too. You would have to find the EXACT coloring to paint over them. I dont think it would be worth it. There may be tutorials online to do that. EDIT: I just did a quick search.. goooood luck on that.

Well, I collect a lot of 3rd party transformers so you'ld be amazed at the size and quality of a figure you can get for $200 or so also they could always make the dragon hollow like the throne to bring down the price.

So I was just looking around on Youtube to see if there is any interviews or anything for Storm online. I ran into one that was from SDCC of this year and the guy actually mentioned that the dragon is actually going to be a 2 pack with Liu Kang.. so if you think $55 for an average size figure with accessories with a big boy figure thats normally $95, Im guessing it will cost around $150-$160. Which wouldnt be terrible for a figure of that size and detail. Im guessing that Liu Kang has been giving them problems as they havent featured his sculpt anywhere since like a year or so ago when he was just an unpainted prototype. Meanwhile the Dragon has just continuously been shown and painted and everything else in between. I figured that was an interesting nugget I figured Id share.

Well I'm sure it wont be that hard to go off topic and get the conversations going again ?And mainly I've been sick with a stomach flu but also I've been trying to finally fix my sleep schedule, the majority of this year I've basically been up all night and going to bed around noon lol 

I do think the $55 price point would be better but it really all comes down to whether or not I can revert them back to their clean forms, it sounds like your a bit skeptical though? I was looking at my figures and all the colored parts is the actual color of the plastic with just a very light silver dry brushing on the armored pieces. the skin doesn't seem to be painted at all and the black parts are the actual color of the plastic/rubber as well with (I think) a slight gloss. and I checked all 5 of my ninjas and they are all the same. So if thats the case then all I would need to do is get some nail polish remover or even just an eraser to get rid of the blood. My only real concern would be if their blood stains the skin portions but it seems like even if it did it wouldn't look too bad due to their darker skin tone, but yeah I really don't think it would require any actual painting at all. But I am curious about Smoke since his outfit looks more metallic but after seeing the other ninjas I'm willing to bet they go the cheap route and use a silvery plastic.

And $150 for Liu Kang and the Dragon doesn't sound too bad all all honestly, I do think the dragon will be more of a display background piece than an actual figure though which for me is fine.

Yeah its true. I take a melatonin supplement in order to control my sleep schedule. I have too many instances where I cant sleep be it over active on the computer or i took too much pre workout and now im caffeinated til 4am kind of things. It helps alot as Ive been able to get very restful sleep. I just dont want to be dependent on it and have my body suddenly rely on it for melatonin instead of producing it itself. 

I think of all the characters to have a RED blood splatter that would look ok, its Ermac. The other I think looks ok with blood splatter is Noob. The rest are all so brightly colored, it deters from their overall appearance. Im pretty skeptical about it because Im not familiar with their paint and I dont tend to like doing any kind of customizing risks on figs that I spent over $50 on. The ninjas definitely dont have much paint work on them, its mostly all relied on the plastic for the details and colors. Its not entirely impossible sounding and in a way I hope its possible because at some point Im going to buy that damn Noob. I cant have Smoke without Noob and the only noob available is bloody Noob. You have 5 of the ninjas? Who all do you have? I figured you had Scorp, Sub, Noob and Reptile. The only others are Ermac and just released Smoke and Rain. I watched a review for smoke, his color is definitely metallic which is a really neat effect. 

Well the Dragon seems alot like how Kahn is, a great articulated figure piece. More for dioramas than just sitting on your shelf. I personally have no interest in it. I hate Liu Kang and the dragon is cool but not cool enough to shell out the dough for it. Thankfully thats one Storm thing I wont be buying.

Ugh theyre both $89.99 on BBTS, I preordered them but I'm really still leaning more towards customizing the bloody version, I wish I could find someone who has done it.

Ha yeah, we predicted that. Bunch of BS for sure but if you get the bloody versions you save $70 for the same figures just "dirtied". I think most people just accept it and Ive seen them in collections, mishmashed and it kind of seems fine to me. 

I asked in the previous post but I m still curious what are the 5 ninjas that you mentioned? or was that just a typo? I thought you didnt have Ermac so Im not sure who would be the 5th if you have the others. 

I can see that you seem alot more rundown with the responses lately compared to before. I hope this all hasnt worn you out or anything. I know you said you were sick so I hope that all goes better.

Well my slreep schedule has gradually become crap ever since I stopped going to college lol more things just seemed to be going on at night and then later on I always wanted to be up early so I was able to grab toy releases and whatnot. Plus my girlfriend at the time was only ever free at night so I've basically been a night person for the past decade or so but I'm finally trying to fix that! ?

Man, I just got my notice that both the bloody and NYCC versions have arrived so I have to figure out which ones to get. On one hand I just want to say screw it and get the clean ones but like you said, it will be an extra $70. If I can revert the bloody ones easily I would be a fool to buy these con ones and part of me just wants to get those just to see for myself, then I can let you all know and maybe save everyone a good chunk of money. I was messing with my Scorpion earlier because he had a tiny black paint splotch on his arm and I was able to remove it completely with a normal pencil eraser with no signs of any damage. i'll admit I'm still a bit new when it comes to removing actual factory paint though, I only really know of this method because its generally used to remove paint scuffs and scratches. Other than that the only paint I've removed from a figure have been Ninja Turtles mostly so I could have a full set without the letters on the belts.

You know, the bigger figures do feel very cheapish, my Zangief is always falling apart whenever I put him in dynamic poses, but because of that it doesnt easily break which is good so I think if the dragon is like that then they can keep the costs down fairly well although that rubbery material does worry me some because I hope it doesn't degrade or become brittle over time like a lot of the Jurassic Park dinos.

And yes I've had Ermac since July I think, I posted that Prisma picture not to long ago but here is just the normal photo. So yeah, unfortunately I can't just accept bloody versions at this point, I either have to fix them up or buy the NYCC ones otherwise my OCD will drive me insane lol

Its been a lot of things, the sickness for sure, then working on my sleep schedule, and trying to get a lot of things I've been putting off done while also working. Then I had my ex pop up the other day after being MIA for 2 months, trying to work things out I'm assuming, and I wish I was in a better place that I could tell her to f %^# off lol So yeah I have been feeling a bit rundown lately.

Ive never been a morning person at all. The melatonin helps alot to ensure I actually get to sleep and have my at least 8 hours of rest. What tends to help me get up earlier is when my nieces and or nephew visits, they tend to jump on me and wake me up at the ass crack of dawn. Nowadays its my cats kneading on me and smashing their cold noses in my face haha.

I like the rubbery like plastics they use but we dont know how they will be over time. The DC Universe Classics I have get this goofy white greasy residue over time but they can easily be brushed off with a toothbrush. It makes them look all dusty and then you touch them and they feel gross. Like the plastic is sweating or something. I hope storms stuff doesnt degrade over time and they put their money in quality plastics. For the money we put in to these things, they damn well better stand the test of time. Also rad pic, I dig it!

I didnt know you got him. I just remember saying (or maybe I imagined it) that he was your favorite character and you were going nuts over it for the con but didnt realize you ordered him. So another $90? I wont necessarily be able to accept them either as Im about to have 5 of them myself. At some point, I hope to grab a noob for semi ok price. I got to have him so i can have him with smokey. They just pair so well together.

I can understand. Life can get crazy and have no time for anything but life itself. Im at a point in my life where I have alittle too much time on my hands. Like you with your sleep schedule, Im trying to change that. Oh dang, did you accept her back? Keep up the spirits man! Also do you plan to get Goro? Ive seen reviews of him already and from what Ive seen, hes MASSIVE.. well worth the $95 Id say. Hell Kahn was well worth it and even Goro dwarfs him by an inch or two.

Although they seem flexible and durable, the plastic used in the Storm figures probably demand care. They are probably not as resistant as ABS or PVC. I would be very pissed if I pay a lot of cash for these and after one or two years the figures start to get sticky and get dust deposits. They will seem dirty and not very interesting anymore. 

I never touched one, so I don't know if they are as gummy as they seem.

You know, I like the morning but I hate waking up during it lol I also try to get my 8 hours although lately I've only been getting 5-6 but I've gotten a lot done so its a fair trade off I suppose. I've never had that with my cats but I have one that always sleeps in my bed which can get annoying if I'm trying to get comfortable ?

Yeah, it really seems like the obvious choice but I don't know, I wish someone on here had one in hand to tell me if the silver on Smoke is painted or not. From the reviews I've seen it looks like it is but honestly so do the other ninjas and they aren't painted. I spent a good chunk of the day yesterday looking for any information about customizing or removing the blood and found nothing which is really hard to believe. I've seen a bunch of people asking if it was possible though, you'ld think at least one person would have tried.

Yeah I've noticed a lot of plastics degrade over time, this is happening with some of my anime statues and some older figures. I was surprised to find my Jurassic World dinos with the rubbery necks all covered in holes recently since they are fairly new. And I've heard stories of it happening with Hot Toys which worries me but so far I'm good there.

Oh I mentioned that Rain is my favorite ninja in a way earlier post. I don't mind spending the $90 for an exclusive if its only once a year but 3 times? Thats a bit ridiculous and 4 times if I can ever manage to find a Chun Li. But yeah no matter what I'm not gonna settle for just having bloody versions, their either going to be removed or I'll just bite the bullet to get the con ones.

I can understand. Life can get crazy and have no time for anything but life itself. Im at a point in my life where I have alittle too much time on my hands. Like you with your sleep schedule, Im trying to change that. Oh dang, did you accept her back? Keep up the spirits man!

Well I have a lot of time but theres a lot i should be doing lol, I just need to motivation to actually do it ?

Ok so heres the thing, my ex is one of those girls whos into open relationships, and basically wants me to be ok with her banging her boss practically everyday among whoever else she feels like. So without going into too much detail, I'm not 100% opposed to aspects of an open relationship as I have seen a lot of evidence to that leading to a much more healthy relationship than one where you feel shackled down to a single person even though I personally would prefer to be with one person. Anyways we had tried to work something out earlier this year which lead to us breaking up and since then I'm fairly sure shes been going all out crazy, at least with her boss. Now typically with anyone else I'd just cut off all communication but we have been friends and on and off together for almost 15 years now and in that whole time I'm the only guy she's ever wanted to be with like emotionally, long term, marriage type stuff. So I'm torn because on one hand I have a lot of history with this girl so if I can get past that one thing we'd be great cause I know she'd never fall for anyone else but on the other hand I don't exactly want to be with a whore lmao Its really a crazy situation which is why I felt the need to explain it a bit. Basically, I just told her we'll see how things go, I honestly just expect her to disappear for another month or so so I'm not holding my breath.

Also do you plan to get Goro? Ive seen reviews of him already and from what Ive seen, hes MASSIVE.. well worth the $95 Id say. Hell Kahn was well worth it and even Goro dwarfs him by an inch or two. 

And on a lighter note lol Yes! I have him preordered and am really looking foward to that guy, I've wanted a Goro figure for a really long time and I can't imagine anyone making a better version than what we're getting. Would be cool to get a Kintaro also ?

You know, I like the morning but I hate waking up during it lol I also try to get my 8 hours although lately I've only been getting 5-6 but I've gotten a lot done so its a fair trade off I suppose. I've never had that with my cats but I have one that always sleeps in my bed which can get annoying if I'm trying to get comfortable ?

I used to get depressed in the morning, reminded me alot of the times when my dad was alive and it got me bummin out. Well my cats are still kittens and with cats in general they all have their quirks. Ive had a cat that was the best cat ever but either cleaned himself horribly or extremely well because hed sit on you and chill out and then when hed jump off, youd smell like nasty ass.. and it wouldnt come off.. it was gross.

Yeah, it really seems like the obvious choice but I don't know, I wish someone on here had one in hand to tell me if the silver on Smoke is painted or not. From the reviews I've seen it looks like it is but honestly so do the other ninjas and they aren't painted. I spent a good chunk of the day yesterday looking for any information about customizing or removing the blood and found nothing which is really hard to believe. I've seen a bunch of people asking if it was possible though, you'ld think at least one person would have tried.

Ive rarely seen any collections from people that dont have at least one bloodied. You are like the first that I can think of that doesnt.. and technically myself. haha. You should message a youtuber thats reviewed them and ask. I dont think weve had this problem until now where the bloodied version wasnt the same price as the regular version AS WELL AS not as hard to grab as the bloodied version.

Yeah I've noticed a lot of plastics degrade over time, this is happening with some of my anime statues and some older figures. I was surprised to find my Jurassic World dinos with the rubbery necks all covered in holes recently since they are fairly new. And I've heard stories of it happening with Hot Toys which worries me but so far I'm good there. 

I havent noticed many of my figs degrade but Ive also got rid of a bunch of them over time so I ve not seen them over that span. Really tho the only figures ive seen ever get bad and gross in under the time ive had them is anything made by mattel and their dc properties. Thankfully nothing new Ive gotten have had any of that happen. Ive thankfully never bought any Hot Toys or anything of that level of figure. Youd think the cheaper they are the worse the plastic would be.

Oh thats right. I think there was someone else that mentioned Ermac was their favorite or something like that. I suppose I was getting that confused. Are you wanting that Battle Costume Chunners? Because regular Chun is pretty easy to grab. Thats some hardcore stuff right there but I guess if I had the money to burn and it was my favorite character, I suppose Id do that as well. 

I hear you man, pretty sure just about anyone on this board should be doing something else but arent motivated to do it haha.

Oh god eff that. I am not down with open relationships. The B wants to have her cake and eat it too.. Nah not gonna happen.. at least if it were me haha. Open relationships are selfish relationships. They wont last and wont be based on anything worth having. People feel shackled in relationships because they dont communicate. Its the whole part of being in a relationship to begin with, to take the good and the bad. This chick sounds like she wants everything. Im getting too old for that kind of dickery. Also do you really want to dip in a pool where someone else just was? Well the thing with an open relationship, she wants to be like im with him, but not so we can do butt stuff and anything else cuz its not cheating.. I couldnt handle that.. Im too dedicated of a person to let others touch my girl. That one thing is a HUGE thing dude.. its not like something where she bites her nails or something. Honestly shes got a selfish way of living and to want that in a relationship is just asking for problems if you ever have any kind of dedication to a girl. Ive seen people do it but they are both selfish and dont gaf about anything. I can say you wont be living happily ever after in that scenario.

I waiting to pay my dude for the ninjas before I order Goro. I also thought of them making a Kintaro with that mold and with how they've pumped out all the ninjas, I would assume he'd be coming as well. They wouldnt have to really do too much but add some armor and change his feet and head and paint the tiger stripes,etc. Would be interesting if they try to tackle a Motaro.. but Id imagine thats years down the road. The sky is the limit haha.

I always hated getting up for classes so one day I was just like f&*% it never again lol And thats really gross lol my 3 cats are very well behaved for the most part, but the one who sleeps with me loves to sleep right up next to my crotch to keep warm which I hate lol

Thats so weird, none of my Mattel figures have degraded except a transparent variant cracked cause it had weak plastic. Well you would think that expensive toys would use expensive materials but companies like to cut costs in any way possible.

Yeah I'd like to get the Battle costume Chun Li, I already have the normal version, I'd really like to know why she seems so incredibly hard to get. 

And me included, I haven't done much of anything today still and the day is almost over ?

I was really curious how you would respond to that lol First off, I'm with you, I'm not into the whole open relationship thing at all. And really I'm not even considering it at this point. I unfortunately have never had the opportunity to be in a relationship where I was not cheated on so I tend to have a lot of trust issues when it comes to relationships. I've also seen a bunch of couples break up/get divorced due to keeping secrets and cheating. So when it comes to my ex, I know for a fact that she has never lied to me because she never had a reason to. I know she wants to be with me because I'm the only person she can actually be herself with. And she won't leave me cause I've given her the chance many times already. So she does possess a lot good traits, its really just this that is the deal breaker for me. And I guess its laziness on my part but I really have no interest in dating again lol, its just so much work and effort all for someone who may just screw you over later on. For example, I had known my ex for over 10 years before she even told me that she was into this kind of stuff. Most girls would keep that hidden and just get married and either let it eat at them or constantly be tempted if that was their thing.  I will say to be fair to her, she just is telling me what could happen not what will happen. I think she wants to make sure I could handle the worst most extreme possibilities because she doesn't want me to leave her if we did get back together but she also understands her own flaws and weaknesses so while I do agree it is very selfish way of thinking I also really appreciate and respect the honesty.

Hmm painted stripes, maybe they wont do him since they don't like painting their figures lol and a Motaro would be badass.

Yeah it was pretty gross, but goddamn that cat was the best cat Ive ever had. He would follow me up to the bus stop and would be there when the bus dropped me off to walk me home. The most loyal cat Ive ever had. The 'cat butt' as my dad called it was his only bad point and it wasnt often, just from time to time thankfully. Ha one of my cats likes to sleep in between my legs.. not so much my crotch, just the boundary of my legs haha.

Yeah Ive noticed the bloody reptile too.. but alot of the times its a bloody scorpion or sub zero.

Its a very common thing. When I first noticed it, I looked online and thats just about everyone that owns a mattel figure. I had it on the classic bruce timm 3.45in figs and the dcuc ones. I think they got better plastic tho because my Doomsday from the last dcuc release is just fine and hes a few years old now (and a damn fine figure to boot). The cutting corners is true its nothing new.. hell technically even storm does it by using the same molds even if they are appropriate to the source material. And look how many more we get that reuse molds coming. They dont do many new molds at all so far.

Well now you can get the other version thats exclusive to ShangHai con or whatever its called! HOORAY! haha. Im really clueless to why shes so elusive as well. Maybe a delayed release. If they do that, Im really worried for what they will do later. They dont follow any real plan, it seems like they are just like oh sh!t demand is high on this, lets make it exclusive and get all the money and not have to sell it to stores and make it so they HAVE to buy directly from us! This exclusivity nonsense is getting out of hand and kind of pissing me off. Thankfully most so far of their exclusives I m not dying to get orrr I was already able to obtain via my friend. 

Ive thankfully been alot more motivated as of late. Mostly due to the fact that I found my wallet that I had lost for 2 days and was a wreck worried about it. Now Im trying to fill more of my day out with productivity.

Dating is friggin rough and it only gets harder as you get older. Its alot more awkward and alot less fun and more like a business transaction. I cant do that, I want something real, if I cant find that then meh, single life is fine too. But relationships in general are work. They require cooperation and openness to ever work out. If someone isnt open and caring then the relationship will crumble. There is no room for selfishness in it either. Ive seen alot of relationships where the girl gets everything she wants and the guy just sucks it up and it shouldnt be a one way kind of thing. Things I hate the most in a person are ego, selfishness and liars. All traits that are all about themselves. See, if I cant be with a girl thats not open and tell me everything and know that I care and understand, then shes not really worth having. If a chick I just met is like I like being with multiple guys and cant settle for just me, Id say cool well theres one less guy for you, im out. If my D isnt enough, then I dont want them to begin with. Its kind of like a double edged sword with this whole openness youre saying. Its like I dont mind she told me shes going to bang my brother, at least she told me now instead of doing it behind my back! what a trooper she is! XD Honesty is great for sure but having some boundaries and being understanding that a relationship isnt about just themselves is another. I hope you do figure it out, things like this can drive people mad are girls are complicated sometimes.

They painted Goros back and really they havent had any true reasons to paint much of their MK figures besides their blood splatters haha. I would imagine Motaro will take alooot of tooling to get it to look right. They took years to perfect Goro. Im sure Sheeva will be the same as well altho I think she ll probably be pretty easy now that they got the whole 4 arm thing figured out. It will be interesting to see if they actually release anything outside of MK2/3 ever.. im curious if they ll do the MK3 costumes for the ninjas haha. DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN BRO.

I had a cat like that, he was more like a dog or a small child lol he had a respiratory condition so he was always sneezing and shooting snot everywhere but he was a great cat who unfortunately got ran over ? And yeah my other cat just really digs into my crotch at night, regardless of how I sleep or what position I'm in she will find a way lol

Well I decided to go for the bloody versions mainly because I just lost a huge chunk of money I had coming in, I honestly shouldn't even be buying these but I don't want to miss out either. I had one guy tell me that he believes that the silver on Smoke is painted which is surprising and is also going to make things more difficult but hopefully I get it to work.

Yeah, I haven't checked all my old DCU figures but the ones I have displayed on my shelf seem fine and all my MOTUC figures which is also from Mattel seem good aside from a bit of paint smearing. You would think with all the cutting corners with Storm that they would do it to be more affordable to the consumer but nooooo lol Also while looking for the battle costume Chun Li I noticed that there are these knock offs for the original version. Now Storm is a Honk Kong company and the KOs are also from HK so I'm wondering if its basically the same exact figure and quality. The reason I wonder this is because with transformers its the same way, the KOs are basically the same exact figure and quality 80% of the time if not more. With Hot Toys they sell KO heads and body molds sometimes which are exactly the same. You can buy KO Marvel Legends and they are the same figure, usually the one and only difference is paint apps or a smudge that can easily be removed. I'm actually really hoping that they plan to KO all the Storm figures. Oh and which Doomsday? the one holding the cape, the one in the suit, or the BAF? all are really nice.

I don't really have an interest in the red dress, I noticed that this HK store keeps putting the NYCC version up for $150 and seems to have an unlimited stock so its very suspicious, I really do hope they plan on releasing her more openly to everyone, I head that apparently all the Storm NYCC exclusives sold out within minutes which really seems odd to me, none of the others ever did. I'm really getting tired of all this exclusive nonsense, its really not helping anyone but the scalpers. Everyone is releasing more and more exclusives, and my money keeps going down, I'm already starting to debate on selling some stuff I have just to keep up but then whats the point selling stuff I like just to get more stuff I like lol

Don't worry I wasn't offended or anything. This girl has brought me so much stress and anxiety over the years that anything you think of her now I've thought myself a hundred times lol And yeah its rough, I'd like to say I'm perfectly fine being single and in a lot of ways I am, I don't know its hard to explain. Some days when I have time to myself I look around at my room and all my stuff and I feel like I would give all that up to have someone which is sappy as hell lol In any case, like you said, relationships are work, I have no interest in dating or testing out different girls to find out if we have anything in common or if we're attracted to eachother, I have no interest in going through all the fakeness that comes with dating. What matters to me is if we can handle eachother and deal with eachothers crap and baggage and still get through it together and still see the good and still want to be together after all of that. When it comes to my ex, I see what she actually wants and what she has proven so far. Like she says all this stuff she wants with me and I know she means it but then she doesn't put forth the effort. For instance, she wanted to try to work things out the other day but has not bothered talking to me since we last spoke and I'm betting shes waiting for me to make the first move but I really don't want to. She's always in the mindset that we are together even when we aren't its incredibly annoying. I really need to find someone to get my mind off this girl ?

All I want for them is to get their exclusives and releases figured out before they start promising all these cool characters that we very well might not ever get cause they end up being some backwater country con exclusive. I'm not 100% sure what this is but if this is an image of a new Storm Sub-Zero I'm going to be pissed....

I had a cat like that, he was more like a dog or a small child lol he had a respiratory condition so he was always sneezing and shooting snot everywhere but he was a great cat who unfortunately got ran over ? And yeah my other cat just really digs into my crotch at night, regardless of how I sleep or what position I'm in she will find a way lol

That sneezing and snot stuff was actually what my last cat was. She just died in June. A reason why have these babies now. She was the first cat I really had inside for a majority of her life so I got close to her. She kept projectile sneezing and I had taken her to the vet a few times and they never gave me a solid answer. One of the times they even offered some kind of blood testing for leukemia for $1000 and im like does this cat look like shes dying? gtfo. She lived til she was 15 but I never really knew what went on with her. One day she had a severe inner ear infection and then a week or so later shes got some kind of mental problem that caused her to become bed ridden and eventually starve herself until she died. Cats when they get a bond with us, love our crotch smells. Its our main scent area i suppose. My cats from my past and present all love laying in my clothes.

Well I decided to go for the bloody versions mainly because I just lost a huge chunk of money I had coming in, I honestly shouldn't even be buying these but I don't want to miss out either. I had one guy tell me that he believes that the silver on Smoke is painted which is surprising and is also going to make things more difficult but hopefully I get it to work.

Im hoping that when you get them, you will just accept them and learn to enjoy their inclusion more than wish they were clean. I know what you mean about not missing out. Who knows if they ll be treated like Scorpion, Sub, and Reptile and just go out of stock and never return. My collection will forever be incomplete without Scorpion in it. My dude is setting up sending the figs to me so I should have them soon. If I get them before you I can tell you if smokes painted or not.

Yeah, I haven't checked all my old DCU figures but the ones I have displayed on my shelf seem fine and all my MOTUC figures which is also from Mattel seem good aside from a bit of paint smearing. You would think with all the cutting corners with Storm that they would do it to be more affordable to the consumer but nooooo lol Also while looking for the battle costume Chun Li I noticed that there are these knock offs for the original version. Now Storm is a Honk Kong company and the KOs are also from HK so I'm wondering if its basically the same exact figure and quality. The reason I wonder this is because with transformers its the same way, the KOs are basically the same exact figure and quality 80% of the time if not more. With Hot Toys they sell KO heads and body molds sometimes which are exactly the same. You can buy KO Marvel Legends and they are the same figure, usually the one and only difference is paint apps or a smudge that can easily be removed. I'm actually really hoping that they plan to KO all the Storm figures. Oh and which Doomsday? the one holding the cape, the one in the suit, or the BAF? all are really nice.

I have alot of the MOTUC 200X line. I havent checked those to see if they have the same problem as theyve been in storage for a while. I dont really own any of the classics except for Skeletor who was in a 2 pack with Lex Luthor. Well they are a Hong Kong seller so we get import prices and isnt treated like a normal distribution. Kind of like a specialty figure company. I m not a fan of the high prices tho.. and they only seem to be getting larger. If the prices of the KOs are muuuch cheaper, id almost say its worth buying one to see the quality. Ive heard this is the same with some Marvel Legends KOs too. The difference is very very minimal. If they KO the MK figs Imma get me a SCORPION! :D The one holding the cape. And yeah they are all really nice. I wanted his containment suit one really bad but I was happy with the normal doomsday too. The new one is neat but its the new 52 version and that series of figures is awful.

I don't really have an interest in the red dress, I noticed that this HK store keeps putting the NYCC version up for $150 and seems to have an unlimited stock so its very suspicious, I really do hope they plan on releasing her more openly to everyone, I head that apparently all the Storm NYCC exclusives sold out within minutes which really seems odd to me, none of the others ever did. I'm really getting tired of all this exclusive nonsense, its really not helping anyone but the scalpers. Everyone is releasing more and more exclusives, and my money keeps going down, I'm already starting to debate on selling some stuff I have just to keep up but then whats the point selling stuff I like just to get more stuff I like lol

I bet alot of their exclusives have been selling out, especially since they are so focused on them now. I think these guys think they can get away with anything. People are buying up our figures like crazy?! Raise the price higher! Lets get even more money without paying for distribution by making main characters and unique molds exclusives and raise the price even higher! I feel like they are getting more and more greedy with every release and this abundance of exclusives is really unheard of for any company, especially a relatively new one. If they sold out in minutes, maaaannn Im glad my buddy grabbed mine day one and in the morning! Ha join me in selling stuff to pay for other stuff!

Don't worry I wasn't offended or anything. This girl has brought me so much stress and anxiety over the years that anything you think of her now I've thought myself a hundred times lol And yeah its rough, I'd like to say I'm perfectly fine being single and in a lot of ways I am, I don't know its hard to explain. Some days when I have time to myself I look around at my room and all my stuff and I feel like I would give all that up to have someone which is sappy as hell lol In any case, like you said, relationships are work, I have no interest in dating or testing out different girls to find out if we have anything in common or if we're attracted to eachother, I have no interest in going through all the fakeness that comes with dating. What matters to me is if we can handle eachother and deal with eachothers crap and baggage and still get through it together and still see the good and still want to be together after all of that. When it comes to my ex, I see what she actually wants and what she has proven so far. Like she says all this stuff she wants with me and I know she means it but then she doesn't put forth the effort. For instance, she wanted to try to work things out the other day but has not bothered talking to me since we last spoke and I'm betting shes waiting for me to make the first move but I really don't want to. She's always in the mindset that we are together even when we aren't its incredibly annoying. I really need to find someone to get my mind off this girl ?

I mean its not like single life isnt a lonely life. I also feel what you mean, its like that whole being a rich person with fake or no friends or being poor and having a large loving family. You can have all the stuff in the world but it wont replace people in your life. Sometimes people suck tho, especially girls. And not in the good way. XD Also tho settling can also be a waste as you are just settling for whatevers in front of you even if they may not be right for you even with history. If she really wants it, she also has to work for it. Cant be a 1 way street. I would agree, you need new blood in your life. The person you are with should make you happy, not miserable.

All I want for them is to get their exclusives and releases figured out before they start promising all these cool characters that we very well might not ever get cause they end up being some backwater country con exclusive. I'm not 100% sure what this is but if this is an image of a new Storm Sub-Zero I'm going to be pissed....

Haha yeah I saw the picture and knew it was their first proto with Scorpion and Goro. Those were their first attempts and Im really glad they improved upon them. I guess we ll see what the future holds with this con exclusive nonsense of theirs. They damn well better not put Cyber Smoke as an exclusive.. or hell any of the ninjas... they can do cyber sub if they want, hes not really canon to me so idgaf..
