Raving Toy Maniac

Saw 3 3/4" singles, 3 3/4" two-packs, a couple 3 3/4" scale box sets, and the 6" figures at Toys R Us in Yonkers, NY today.

I have to say, I was quite impressed. The sculpts and likenesses are pretty fantastic across the board. The likeness on both Gandalfs are particularly great. The 3 3/4" Gollum likeness is better than any ToyBiz take on the character.

I didn't intend to get anything from this line, but I almost walked out with 6" Bilbo and Gandalf.

The 6" figures should work pretty seamlessly with the ToyBiz LOTR line, I would think.

Everything was absurdly priced, but that's toys these days, especially in New York, where we pay You Live In New York So It's More Because You Live In New York And That's Why It's More prices.

Just saw a picture of Cy-Chop...love the design, think this will be the first Masters figure i buy. Is he an original design, or is it based off something from the old line/cartoons/movie?

Hi.
I'm curious if anyone has picked these up yet or any other characters from the Play Arts Kai series. How is the quality with this line? I think I've heard of some breakage issues. I was really impressed with what they've shown with the Mass Effect series and these would be the first of many if I go for these. At $65 a piece, I just want a better idea of what I'm getting.
Thanks,

Encore 23 is...

And MP-15 is Ravage and Rumble. March, $60. No pics yet.

I'll definitely be picking Ravage and Rumble up, but I don't think I'll be able to make myself spring for Fort Max. :b

And then vote on 'em in December. Might be a decent way to attract more traffic to the site if we promote it well (and it might not be, but at the very least I think it'd be amusing for the existing user base).

Any ideas on what the categories should be? 'Cause I have no idea; I just thought this up literally like two minutes ago. ;b

Saw new pics of him turn up sporting guns after getting the bbts e-mail that he's arrived, but everywhere I look, he only has the sword and axe... bummer. And if I cancel the bbts order, I'll only get store credit, right?

Hey all,

Been thinking about picking up Swift Wind, but I already have She-Ra. Is there a way to futz the "V. 1" figure onto the horse? I'd even consider cutting her skirt to accomodate; I'm just wondering if anyone knows how feasible it would be. Thanks in advance!

Ultimate Black Ops Punisher, Hawkeye and of course..War Machine!!!

I love the book and I think the figures would look amazing. Anyone else like the book and agree?

Batman has been an awesome series, but its video games were not that great, except the batman and robin video game back on old at sega mega drive 2. And now after so many years we got to see amazing and cool batman games the Arkham asylum and city. Both of them were so awesome. When i first started Arkham asylum game i knew this will turn out to be a great game and a video game series. So it is not a big surprise that Batman Arkham City Series 3 action figures are cool too. I first bought the Titan Joker from arkham asylum and then Batman and Ra's from arkham city from past generation toys and they are really awesome, cool. Perfect details, good articulation. Everything is good for me.

So what are your thought guys about the Batman Arkham City action figures? Next my eyes are on Armored Batman Batman Arkham Asylum Play Arts Kai Action Figure this is so cool, i am just saving money right now for this.

Matty has some brass ones when they slap a new head sculpt onto that suited body that they've reused about 1,000 times and then charge over $30.00 with shipping.

Black Mask's head is cool...and that's about all you're paying for. The body is recycled. The two blade weapons he comes with have giant "MADE IN CHINA" stamps on them. He's pictured with a handgun on the packaging, but does not come with one.

Major ripoff.
