NECA Teases TMNT 90's Movie Splinter's Origin Figure Set
obs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
They produced more Baxter 2pks to satisfy demand, and they did the same for the Krang Android. I saw dozens of both, and they've started producing more and more of the older releases. I found 5 of each Triceraton 2pk at the Target closest my house, and a friend of mine found both of them at a Target closer to him, as well as the rock aliens (I can't remember their names for some reason...getting old). I've been finding TMNT movie Foot Soldier 2pks at Wal-mart, as well as a whole bunch of movie Splinter/Shredders at multiple WMs and I found a couple of Super Shredders TMNT2 a couple days ago at -
One:12 Collective Rumble Society Krig Figures From Mezco
obs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Will have to go to eBay to get the 5 Points Popeye. I'm not paying $175 for it. It'll be around $30 on eBay. They did this same thing last year with the 5 Points Gomez figure (1 of 3 Gomez figs in the line) and you can get those for half that now.- 8 replies

Hasbro Makes An Angry Action Figure Collector Figure???
obs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
I was asking for it. It's a perfect representation of what the character usually looks like and it's a great figure for custom work or background pedestrians without the hood. The hood fits fine. -
Hasbro Makes An Angry Action Figure Collector Figure???
obs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Lighten up, Francis. Anyone getting faux offended over this needs to chill out and go outside and live a little. It's a joke, laugh/chuckle a little. If you really are offended then good. The well adjusted people will collect your tears. The irony of people getting upset over the look of the figure is also hilarious. I may need an extra mug. -
Masters Of The Universe Origins Faker Figure Announced

I'm assuming that's the LOP Mer-man. What about that Evil Lyn? Rerelease or variant? -
Could Super7 Be Planning A ThunderCats Thundertank?!?
obs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
@Batman1701: You're incorrect. The Thundertank consists of a ton of tooling because of all of the moving parts and how complicated the vehicle is. Tooling is just a name for the molds. The Batmobile is that cheap because it doesn't do anything and is almost one entire piece of plastic. It barely features any tooling. Tooling is why certain toys cost more than others. Molds for just action figures costs tens of thousands and/or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Vehicles cost much more. I know Chicken Fried Toys said the tooling for the stage coach they want to do costs more than all of the figu- 83 replies

Mattel Announces New Masters of the Universe MADSAKI Products
obs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
This thing dropped on Friday and it could have been yours for $450.00. It sold out, so if you consider yourself a MOTU Origins completist then and you didn't get one of these things, then you're no longer a completist and probably never will be since this thing will go for double that and up on eBay (probably). I know it perfectly captures the artist's style (the blacked out eyes and the loud neon colors), but Mattel please don't do more crap like this. The clear Skeletor you sold on that website was fine (and I noticed it was shipped 2 days ago), but it was $50 and not $450. The Super7- 11 replies

TNI Editorial - State Of The Hobby 2021 - F#@% Target And Walmart
obs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
I think Walmart and Target take the adult collector customer base more seriously than you think. Each store features an entire section devoted to the adult collectable world in both stores' Electronics/movie/game sections. They didn't section these areas off for the heck of it. They know there's a market for it so they have the shelving space for it. Of course NECA, Funko, and the other companies have to pay the retailers to put their stuff there. Most people probably don't realize that products aren't typically placed at random on store shelves. Product placement, including how high it is kep- 16 replies

Toys "R" Us Closes Its Two U.S. Stores A Year After Opening
obs replied to Outsiders's topic in Action Figure News
It says they closed it due to COVID. That doesn't mean the stores did poorly because no one went to them because of lack of interest but out of fear. If COVID had never happened, then this article most likely would have never been written because the stores would have thrived. TRU is essentially a small business right now in the USA and thousands of them have gone under because of COVID. They'll be back once this mess is finally put to rest. -
It's painted exactly like the original movie poster. That's how it's colored, and it's pretty perfect. I have a 10' reproduction hanging in my entry hall, and they nailed the look. It's one of the all time great posters.

Mattel Announces New Masters of the Universe MADSAKI Products
obs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
The original sculpture that this monstrosity is based on is a perfect recreation of the classic toys right down to the paint scheme. There's He-Man on Battle Cat and there's also a Skeletor. Skeletor is probably 8 or 9 feet tall and the other two are probably 11 or 12 feet. Here's a pic of them before he painted his horrible black crap on them: https://www.instagram.com/p/CCaDzhNnIEb/- 11 replies

They probably won't redeco any other waves. The first wave featured those horrible metallic gold and silver colors and lots of bright colors that didn't fit, so the future waves were quickly changed before they ever were released. That's why none of them feature these same issues other than perhaps Cobra Commander, but it works for him more than the others.

Could Super7 Be Planning A ThunderCats Thundertank?!?

This will be at least $400. It'll probably have lights and it will have a ton of articulation if it's made to move like it's supposed to move.- 83 replies

Super7 Teases Silverhawks, Star Trek And More For 2021
obs replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
What does Super7 being involved have to do with it? They deliver quality products. They've been open about delays and guess what? Everyone that isn't a AAA toy corporation is experiencing slowdowns given there's a pandemic and millions of people are unemployed and/or can't work. They've already said the slowdowns will disappear after the 2nd wave of Thundercats come out and they'll be delivering a wave every month or two given they've switched factories which also contributed to the delays.- 14 replies
