Just got a Pizza Spidey for $30 brand new at a random comic shop in NYC. They had one more if anyone cares. Toy Tokyo St Mark's Comics in the East Village.

EDIT: Sorry, got confused since I stopped into several shops tonight.

I'm weird and I pair my good guy figures together and then give them three villains. Who should I have them fight aside from Lizard and Strucker? I'm leaning towards Venom, Enchantress, Boomerang, or Bulldozer. Thanks!

Got some new poo poo from Japan today:



After watching some reviews, I wasn't expecting much from Mafex Superman, but it really isn't that bad. The humongous cape can be a nuisance to work with, but everything else is much better than I expected.
Armored Batman it's just plain awesome. My only gripe is that the figure doesn't come with the kryptonite spear or any alternate head, those are gonna be included with Knightmare Batman for some stupid reason.

Also got this one from the HLJ sale last month:

She was only 12 bucks, so it was hard to resist.

Kinda disappointed by Premium Color Trunks. I mean, he looks great, and the hair is cool and all, but drat if his articulation isn't poo poo. He has no bicep swivel and his jacket's collar is too high so you can barely angle his head at all and have to force it to turn left or right. Also my sword sheathe's strap is a pain to connect to the sheathe and often just pops out unless I swivel it to a really stupid angle to relieve the tension on it. The knees look better than I thought they would, unless you bend them more than 90 degrees then they look like poo poo.

All in all, a decent figure, but you can't even really get him into this pose:


Because he can't reach across his chest even slightly.

Kinda disappointing, but hey, I'm glad I didn't pay some ridiculous price for it and got it at retail.

My local Walmart had the new wave of 3.75" Black figures (which I didn't even know were coming out). I grabbed Jyn Erso and Captain Phasma.

Anyone with a Figma Samus have issues with the arms coming off and not being able to pop it back in? I've been unable to repose mine since any reposition means her left arm falls off. No amount of squeezing and forcing it in has worked and I'm afraid I'm going to just snap the ball joint.

Is this one of those situations where I can use a hairdryer or something or am I better off just supergluing it and turning her into essentially a statue?

edit: Hairdryer worked like a charm.

Just for others' future reference, hair drying the socket, not the peg, is the safer method of fixing this... you run the risk if the peg bending or warping if you heat it, which could end up loving it up, plus heating and cooling it could weaken the stem and make it more likely to snap in the future.

Got my Datong Frieza and holy poo poo, you guys weren't kidding... it really is pretty drat nice quality, even better than most of the videos I've seen. I daresay in some ways its actually nicer than the real deal... the pearlescent purple has a great kind of reflective sheen to it and the feel of the plastic they use to make the figure is sorta cooler than the standard figures, kinda... rubbery but still solid, for lack of a better description. The energy beam effects are cloudy and have air bubbles, same as most vids show, but meh, no big deal.

Yeah, the model kit looks infinitely better, and neither choice exactly brings a lot of articulation due to the nature of the character.

I still can't understand the release of the red arm Threepio. He had his arm fixed by the end of the movie and was barely in TFA to begin with. It's like they made the red arm version just to bring more value to the Walgreens exclusive OT version.

Much apprech, but by sheer luck I found one. I just started hitting targets and walgreens during a ride back from an errand, ended up going to a video store, which had that drat astral strange. I almost left when I decided to look around and there was one lone Strange sitting under a minon toy.
