So, in their infinite wisdom, Figma forgot to color match the disc joints they decided to use for Doom Guy. Not only was that a poor choice of a joint to opt for anyway… but it looks even more out of place because it doesn’t quite match the skintone. Holy shit man.

Got Devil Jin. Showed up 3 minutes to 8 o clock. I've never had something from the post office come that late in years. He was brand new and he's pretty high quality. Although honestly I was never crazy about dark angel Devil Jin. I much prefer the look from that Bloodline Rebellion movie where he actually looks like a devil.

So, here’s something to ponder. If ThreeZero can make an entire set of the original six Mighty Morphin Powers Rangers for $550, which would put them at about $91 respectively… why do SHF, Mafex, Figma and Mezco’s cost $90 to $120? It just seems entirely too fucking absurd.

Expect a statement from BBTS soon. They are listing sale after sale. They’re drowning in stock and can’t get rid of it. They’ll be changing their business model soon. I don’t think they will fold, but I’m fairly certain they will be changing things up.

Yeah I wouldn't doubt it. I hardly even order from them anymore. I've had a few Gundams po'd on there for nearly a year that were supposed to be out a year ago.

I honestly think the pile of loot is going away or they will stop doing the bulk $4 shipping. I also think they might make a statement on NRDs. They’re basically on everything that’s $100 now.

They can’t keep operating Willy Nillie like they have been. They may even start doing pre-order windows or heavily reduce what they order. Hot Toys and Figuarts aren’t even selling out anymore. And that’s their bread and butter. Aside from maybe Marvel Legends anyway.

This is WILD holy shit. Granted some of it is literally crap but damn. They should go even cheaper however but I see Darth Maul's point on the bulk $4 shipping. It is really good for a few things but I can see it hurting them since it can cover massive items like some big resins. In fact, looking at a lot of stuff now...Pile of Loot is 'strangely' not eligible for them.

Wait, are we talking about new stuff? Or big stuff? They might be running out of storage space. Statues are probably off the pile of loot list at this point. It’s not justifiable.

I figured out what it is. Anything that’s being run on sale is not eligible. It’s because they are actively trying to get it out the door to make room.

Yeah, I initially thought it was just big statues because that's all I was looking at. But even the small banprestos are out the door. I'm surprised at what is not majorly discounted however, it's...weird. There's stuff I've eyed but simply found too much money. Still full price. I'm only really interested in this Goku vs Kid Buu https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/135930 since I heard great things, but still think its a bit much. I wonder if they may go lower on some of these. Cause I KNOW 80% of this won't go down.

The Hot Toys in the 'sale' section tempted me too, big time.

This too, unless they're limited. The last new Hot Toys I remember that sold out very quickly was the Spider-Man Far From Home Upgraded Suit, which was surprising to a lot of people including me. I think stock of some Hot Toys...vary? It's mostly Spider-Man figures I think, the Advanced Suit, MK IV Armor (which I didn't get but kinda wanted to), Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen either wait listed or sold out outright. But I think some Iron Man Hot Toys have been here for years and I see a few in so many collections.

I think Figuarts took a noticeable decline in quality, or want. Many of them besides Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon are easily available through other companies.

I hate to say it, but Sideshow might be the better option for Hot Toys. The upcharge that BBTS adds to each figure is basically what you would pay in shipping at Sideshow. And at least you get a rewards system there… even if it’s ass compared to what it used to be. All of this is in spite of their bad image at times too.

Not to mention Sideshow's been ok enough on deals lately, though the BBTS deals on Hot Toys right now are tempting...

I don’t even know what they have up, concerning Hot Toys.

The most recent Marvel Hot Toys like Endgame Hulk, Thor and War Machine. Not exceptional deals but they won't be that cheap with low shipping for a while I feel.

Well shit, they have Endgame Hawkeye discounted who I've been eyeing.

Yeah, I don’t collect the Marvel stuff anymore. The original six members are all I need on the shelf. And the two wizards. Any other marvel characters I have are Spider-Man or X-men related. With the exception of Daredevil and Punisher. I don’t even have a Black Panther and I love the original suit design, before the purple shockwave version.

Yelena is tempting, because Florence Pugh is hot as fuck, but I’m not about to buy a character that’s going to be completely out of place in my display. If I were going to buy another marvel hot toys, it would be Thanos.

That's all I'm going for. Outside of Captain America and my plastic Iron Man Mark VII, I don't see the first Avengers film getting figure re-issues anytime soon or at all. So I'm making due with Endgame though I haven't been able to find Black Widow. I almost want the first film over Endgame sorely because I prefer Hulk and Thor's looks in those vastly, though I prefer Endgame Captain America's look over 2012 and Black Widow as well.

And 1000000000% agreed on Florence Pugh. Yelena too, especially since Hawkeye made her surprisingly good, in fact I partly want a Kate Bishop and absolutely a Ms. Marvel. You bring up a point on being out of place in a display however. I want Netflix Daredevil but not really anyone else from there, so he'd be out of place kinda? Same with Wolverine since Hot Toys just won't touch any other X-Man. Kind of glad Spider-Man's finally getting a ton of figures though. but my collection is going to feel so weird. I have both VGM and Holland Spider-Man figures, VGM Miles Morales and Into the Spider-Verse Spider-Gwen. That'll feel quite odd to be frank.

You can pair Daredevil and Punisher. It’s the only reason I have either one. And Deadpool is perfect alongside Wolverine.

Yelena would be odd in my collection. I would need the Black Widow from that film and I just don’t care to own either figure. Would be great to have a figure of her, but not going to get one that doesn’t fit. Dr Strange and Loki fit, because they’re the two original wizards.

Also, I don’t have a specific team from the films. I do have the original Guardians 1 team display, but as for the main six… I just went with my favorite costumes/figures. I hated the way Black Widow looked in Avengers and I prefer the Winter Soldier look for both her and Cap.

Maybe when I get moved in a year and I have my collection room set up, I’ll be able to take pics of everything. I’m getting moducases and monitor risers in most of them. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have the largest collection room in this part of my state. Keco has probably the largest 1/6 collection in the entire state though. He doesn’t collect smaller scale figures.
