jikas lol. stop humping em.
well maybe jikas tries too hard to see if they're wearing a pair of ichigo/strawberry panties...or is that your pastime?? :p
did you see the cult classics at fp? how much were they? still very tempted to get batman, i mean bateman...or do i mean batman?!?!
btw anyone looking for a 12" mcfarlane alien to go with their predator(s)? they are now £19.99 at argos (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=3151&productId=123044&clickfrom=name). its probably better to get them instore to save on shipping

Has anyone here in the UK seen the Military figs yet? Think I'll get them all. At the start I wern't too sure but now...there great! Heard the detail is fantastic.
Graham
07-03-2005, 02:51 PM
wow....nice price on the freddy there.......
haven't seen the military figs yet.....shouldn't be too long now though, now that they're becoming more widespread in the US.

yeah the freddy went for pretty cheap. :o

Graham
07-03-2005, 03:04 PM
no interest at all in the military figs from me i'm afraid....just not my bag. but then...not much is nowadays.....now playing, family guy, occasional ML's, occasional movie figs.....
anyway....any of you guys know how i would go about buying cases over here? i've seen a few on ebay, but i was wondering if there were any other retailers or wholesalers that you know of. i'm thinking of a career change. :D
atriot_vl
07-03-2005, 04:16 PM

yeah. i;ve actually got a solidius snake already. I need a solid snake!! and raiden. :( but they would look cool all together. and would be nice to make like a diorama thing to put them all in :eek:
yikhaichan
07-05-2005, 01:18 PM
i have that exact same set except that i have stealth (translucent) ninja as opposed to the full colour one. it'd be interesting to see how much it goes for. i think i still have all the accessories and the metal gear ray, i'll post a pick of my display when i have time. they are great figures and solid snake was the first figure i bought
tell me about being skint, i went on an eBay rampage for the past week or so and i'm not slowing down just yet. pics of haul when i get them, hehe

if i ever said this anywhere else, i might get my ***** flamed but i do hope that we won't see anymore 6" MGS figures anytime soon, i don't have the room and it'd be hell to fit it in seeing as street fighter and resident evil are all on the same shelf, and those two franchises are gonna be increasing
i only go bargain hunting when i'm guilt free and thats usually during the summer when i'm bored. so far i'm mainly getting old comics that i wish i'd gotten sooner. i've been trying to get the death of colossus (uncanny x-men #390) for the past two years, even before he got resurrected. i have #389 and #391 but not #390. funny thing is, i let one go a few months back for £3.50 and now i'm being outbid at £7.00. mayb next time...but i am trying to get a few bargain figures, here and there and i think i got a good one yesterday
whos dissing the ipod?? hehehe, i got one from hong kong 1yr1/2 ago (15Gb white), i don't really have much use for it except when i'm on the train. i got rid of the white earphones for some nicer black sony ones (doesn't have anywhere near as much sound leakage as apple's ones) which also goes well with my psp. i also haven't man handled my psp in a while, only when i u/l bleach on to it...
i think the pink one'll suit u KITCH, atriot's just jealous theres no strawberry coloured one
atriot_vl
07-05-2005, 02:42 PM
haha. strawberry panties! not strawberry ipod! :p
yeah ebay is weird in that way. i see things i pass on then when it get relisted the price syrockets :eek: makes me fel suicidal :( quick tell us what did u get!?!?
thanks for the pics! Nice setup...if u run out of shelf space i will give u my number. :p
atriot_vl
07-05-2005, 02:43 PM
now that i think of it. i hope SOTA does MGS with lotsa articulations and accesories! imagine the fun :D
KITCH
07-05-2005, 02:52 PM
yikhaichan, that MGS collection of yours looks SICK!
Nevermind about the ipod. Now I'm waiting for my figs and bust!
Strawberry panties? o_0
yikhaichan
07-05-2005, 03:00 PM
yes, apparently japanese guys by the name of junpei manaka likes girls who wear strawberry panties and atriot idolises them, hahaha (u actually got me interested, watched the first 6 episodes of ichigo 100%, hehe)
yeah, i'm kinda proud of my MGS collection, i had to do a lot of ebaying to fill in the gaps, especially for the MGS1 set since i bought the MGS2 set at retail. theres rumours that konami are rejecting any american company proposal for the MGS license so i don't think we'll see any solid snake figures by SOTA or any company for that matter. however, capcom were rumoured to not wanting ANY resident evil 4 figures done and now we have a full set by NECA so anything is possible
alright, i decided to search "toxie now playing" on eBay yesterday and with hours to spare, bidded on one which ended at £2.40 + £3.00p&p = £5.40 which is pretty sweet
atriot_vl
07-05-2005, 03:08 PM
gah u guys got haul!!! i jus got mary slaughter for this week....bahhh...:(
yeah those MGS bad boys are so ahrd to come by man. can we bug the guys at SOTA to scratch n bite for the MGS license? :p
wow that's an awesome haul. i think i saw that too. that's a freaking bargin! :p

well technically, yes as i think the girls are 15 yrs old (i think nishino turned 16 as she had a bday during the episodes i've seen). its weird how the japanese idolise such young anime girls...putting them in bikini tops and then zooming in on t&a (and whats up with the movie club sensei?!?!)
we could bug SOTA but the fanboys over on the action-figure.com SOTA forum are doing that already. btw, never go there for more then 5 minutes, just a warning, u'll see...

thanks for the heads up, any idea what toyzz.com shipping rates are like??
i'm kinda maxing out on my limit for this month but its tempting...
yeah, never go in the SOTA a-f.com forum too long, you'll get sucked into a sea of fanboy remarks and lack of regard toward anything but SOTA. don't get me wrong, i like what SOTA Toys have done from their resident evil sculpts for palisades to their street fighter line but ... i don't know how to explain it. check it out for yourself, you'll see what i mean
atriot_vl
07-06-2005, 05:05 PM
i think their shipping is pretty reasonable. u can ask for the cheaper option if u want. email and ask. i think they have another 33% discount off now. i will find the duscount coupun if u decide to get em :p
argh i dont like fanboys...even though i am a fanboy of one club. strawberry ....u know where this is going rite? haha

hahaha hey jikas, we're not as rich as you think. most of us were tricked into getting credit cards at our place of education by a) the hot blonde advertiser who wasn't wearing much even on that cold winters day or b) the free popcorn machine (unfortunately both a) and b) were enticing me to get that damned barclaycard but i somehow didn't go home with either...)
still waiting for my hauls, nothing came last week
on an unrelated note, nice avatar jikas, haha though i always seen "the" being romanized(?) using "za - ざ" instead of "de - で". so "za jikasu - ざじかす" or in katakana "za jikasu - ザジカス"
(dunno if people can read the japanese characters..if not, change your fonts slightly)
btw i made all that up and i don't know japanese except "baka yaro" and "teme...", hahaha

Well I did'nt exactly go for the chase variant. I saw it on epicheroes.com and the pic was the normal version so I ordered, and this is version that arrived. I had a feeling in the back of my mind that it would be a chase because all the originals sold out really fast. Well I'm not that bothered anyway...
Yeah Raven Spawn is awesome! Looks hella cool! I don't know why I did'nt buy it earlier? For some reaosn I did'nt like the pose he was In but looking at it up close, it really makes the figure look great. :D

Graham has Jasonmania. My favourite one is the cult classic one. he looks quite imposing and has a nice base. So thats nice.
the turqoise and blue chun li doesnt really seem that much different in colour. Looked the same in the first glance. these SOTA figs are great out of their package posed together in a bunch. I still dislike their packaging and think they couldve done much better :o
Raven spawn goesreally nicely with the other 2 hellspawns ashley wood style stuff.was there 3 of em that has the same look. the S24 Hellspawn, S25Ravenspawn and hellspawn..
reg the yamato batman. what i really like is the way they do the 2d and 3d thing. The diorama background in 2D and the figure in 3D. just looks great to me. Now I jus need to find the first wave batman...which is almost impposible :(

finally got a haul for today, strangely enough, i won this stuff during the end of last week (friday-sunday) which has come before the stuff i won/ordered before that. i don't whats going on but i've sent a couple of emails so...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/yikhai/Action%20Figure%20Collection/default059.jpg
so i got Buffy Deluxe "Graduation Day" Buffy and Faith from DST and a coupla x-men comics (Uncanny X-Men "Poptopia" Part 1-4 and X-Men:Search for Cyclops Part 1-4 for those who are interested).
the deluxe multi-articulated buffy range looks good, diamond look to be doing a great job, although i've heard some stories about the quality of the joints and they're not looking good, time will tell when i open them, i'll get some shots of them later
i've discovered one of the comics has a large tea/coffee stain on the front cover and theres not much i can do about it...grrrr, glad it was cheaper then expected but i have to now find a quick and cheap replacement and i don't see them in comic shops much
heres hoping i get more stuff 2morro

yeah, the street fighter packagings abit of a let down but most of SOTA's packaging isn't all that great. they have changed their now playing series II packaging to be more like a traditional clamshell. their reasoning is that they'd rather people open their figures and admire the sculpting, which i'm all for
as for yamato batman, the third batman has quite a 3d base but its a pretty well sculpted base. godd luck with the first batman, those kind of flew off the shelves when they first came out in comic showcase and then fp london when there was no choice but to pay their large inflated prices
atriot_vl
07-12-2005, 04:05 AM
whats that X Men Poptopia? the cover looks interesting.
I will still open them figures but that's still a very very lazy excuse for not putting more into designing the packaging for a game that has so much visual history. meh they should jsut hire me. i would do a good job :p
yeah i saw the 3rd one. batman creeping in a medieval castle...not my thing. not enigmatic enough :p not really interested in the third wave...hmm.
BTW check this guy out:

u r the 1st to point out "ze" japanese name i used in my avatar :p
thanks , ill be using "????"
from now onwards :p
and yeah we get conned into using credit cards here as well
only there aint no blondes..... and there aint no exposed boobies too
hahaha hey jikas, we're not as rich as you think. most of us were tricked into getting credit cards at our place of education by a) the hot blonde advertiser who wasn't wearing much even on that cold winters day or b) the free popcorn machine (unfortunately both a) and b) were enticing me to get that damned barclaycard but i somehow didn't go home with either...)
still waiting for my hauls, nothing came last week
on an unrelated note, nice avatar jikas, haha though i always seen "the" being romanized(?) using "za - ?" instead of "de - ?". so "za jikasu - ????" or in katakana "za jikasu - ????"
(dunno if people can read the japanese characters..if not, change your fonts slightly)
btw i made all that up and i don't know japanese except "baka yaro" and "teme...", hahaha

uncanny x-men "poptopia" arc is the first arc since the relaunch back in 2001 when spandex was thrown out and replaced with leather biker jackets. this was released the same time grant morrison started "new x-men". its written by joe casey (the initimates) with art by ian churchill (supergirl), mel rubi and ashley wood (bloody hell, 3 artists in a single 4 issue arc...). i haven't read it yet so i'm unsure what to expect
haha, that eBay auctions a sort of rip off of when bart sold his soul to milhouse for $5. heres hoping automatic doors stop working for that guy/gal, dogs start hissing at him/her when he/she walks pass and he/she won't be able to laugh at itchy and scratchy any more when he/she sends it off. a human soul should not be toyed with *tsk tsk*

seeing the SDCC stuff online is like a haul in itself, stuff that i'm impressed with so far
Resident Evil 4 Leon - people don't like the head sculpt but it looks great to me
Street Fighter Series 4 Akuma - hot damn, is that perfect. face is very UDON-like angry
DarkStalkers Morrigan, Anakaris - chick without much on and big sphrinx/mummy, can't go wrong
Street Fighter Minimates - cute little things, haha

BTW heard batman all stars is out. hope the stores have them when i go down this weekend!
I love that akuma. looks great! whos that guys who's supposed to be guile's son? looks quite bad. :(
I like the darkstalkersline too. lard raptor could do with alittle work. wish he was more emancing and crazy and have more sharp edges. dant wait to see dmtiri.
the NP is great sculpting agin from mcf. i might just pick one up :p
oh btw to any of you who has a ryu or evil ryu. did u guys manage to pose him doing a hadouken or any moves at all? haha mine is jus standing there ... alternating between looking scary and crazy (with the laughing head). :p

i'll be getting ALL the napoleon dynamite line.....they look dead-on....and i love the movie.....
also....now playing.....leprechaun, saw and the fog......i'll be getting all those as well....and land of the dead.....those look great as well.....
my evil ryu is the one from the 2-pack, so i just get stuck with that stupid grin....it's also got really stiff joints so i just managed to get him standing in a ****y kinda pose.....the only one i've ever managed to do a decent action pose is chun li....got her to do a spinning bird kick once.....

07-14-2005, 10:24 AM
yeah i am most prob getting the prom one only. need to budget for other stuff :( but the sculpt is really awesome and the poses quite dynamic....except for pedro...but pedro is jus cool anywys :p
really glad that sota picks up the license from more ofthese cult and b grade movies.
land of the dead?? from? i didnt see that yet.
haha i prefer the other serious head more. but at least the two pack u get the lightning hands right? i cant do the fireball pose! i thought i saw someone post a pic ofhim doing that before!
the msot effective pose for evil ryu is posing him from the back with the head turn back 3 quarters. looks really imposing. cant wait to get an akuma to stand with him!
i like vega. he's been doing some cool moves over here. t hawk is too bulky to have his hands have much angle in the front. but i did manage some reasonable pose from him.
i am kinda lost with what to do with evil ryu :o

yeah i got "all stars batman and robin" today (specfically went to town to get it). i quite liked it, seems very dark and "batman begins" like. i've only read dark knight returns of frank millar's but i know the movie was loosely based on his "year one" and had that sort of feel. plus theres vicky vale in underwear drawn by jim lee, i think he musta dedicated those pages to u, atriot (so no ichigo panties, though i think pink should take your fancy)
i've only managed to get an accurate rendition of ryu charging up the fireball (denjin hadouken style), theres not enough articulation in the shoulders to get the arms out straight and bottom of the hands together. i've only got ryu in standard fighting pose ala SFIII and evil ryu showing his back with hand over face (trying to look cool). if you want me to post the hadouken charge, gimme a shout
the msot effective pose for evil ryu is posing him from the back with the head turn back 3 quarters. looks really imposing. cant wait to get an akuma to stand with him!
yeah, i think i have evil ryu in that pose.
i'm definately loving morrigan and anakaris, definately have to shell out some cash for those. i take it by "guile's son" you mean remy? street fighter III character from france, no relation to guile but has similar moves. his face looks a little long. impressed with fei-long though, could have his as bruce lee and put him with the bride...
is the "land of the dead" figure the incredably pale guy, long hair in victorian type clothes? i can't seem to find a pic at action-figure.com but i found something over at toysnewsi.com (action-figure.com is running a little sluggish, hehe)
anyone seen Mattel's answer to "Marvel Legends" called "DC Superheroes"?? i swear i'm gonna run out of shelf space because they look fantastic, i really like the bronze age batman, bizarro and superman flying over the daily planet. as long as mass retail get alot, i'll be happy

just been to the SOTA board at action-figure.com and some people have already made topics about the errors of series 4...bloody fanboys, hahaha

when i meant "in town", i meant my local town (i live in zone 6 if that helps). i haven't been in london for about 3 weeks now but i have my comics held for me at "the orbital". i would save you a batman cover from my local comic shop but they sold out already. i think that'll be the one that sells out i'm afraid, unless fp over ordered, which they sometimes do for jim lee books (superman is everywhere, but that was crap). lemme know if you find it or not, i'll see if i can find some other options

cheers graham, if LOTD are i'll definately find the worst for wear zombies and put them with palisades resident evil, which i think is 7". its weird as i think the scale might have changed midway, with chris and wesker being 7" with a slouched leon at 6" and a bit. resident evil 4 leon might look out of place if they do him 7 inches...

07-14-2005, 12:53 PM
when did it come out? id dint even realise until today that it was out. dang! do u have orbital or gosh phone number? or if u could jus get orbital to reserve another issue for me that would be great.
haha i think those fanboys might be a big contributing factor into making the SF II line what it is.
now i have noticed evil ryu's joints are super sticky! i cant get one of the double jointed ankle to bend! :(
yikhaichan
07-14-2005, 01:20 PM
it only just came out today so you might be lucky enough to get it during the weekend. i won't be going to the orbital until next friday the earliest, the friday after that being the latest
true, the fanboys have a contributing factor but not those that complain how akuma's gi isn't supposed to be blue (ummm, yes it is) just because they've "seen" pictures of him in black. alot of it is just nitpicking and already posting things like "ATTN: JERRY SOTAToys..." even though its pretty obvious that hes at SDCC (sorry some fanboys just drive me crazy)
yep the street fighter figure joints are quite sticky, it took me a while to pry ryu's ankle joints and sagats mid torso. by the way, heres ryu doing "denjin hadouken" as accurate as i could do it

now i have noticed evil ryu's joints are super sticky! i cant get one of the double jointed ankle to bend!
My Evil Ryus left leg was really stiff, couldnt move it at all. To solve it though you have to put the figure into your freezer for about 10 - 15 minutes. Take it out and the joint bends perfectly :)

i've just had a quick flick through all stars again and i still think its looks good and that it could have been a book out of the hush storyline if judging by looks. there is alot of art to take in at first, i think it did a good job considering the amount of detail that was required in the backgrounds (noticeably gotham city, the circus and its crowd etc etc). the colourist is alex sinclair who also did batman hush so that shouldn't have been the problem. maybe it was the last page that turned you off? i was expecting to see "hush" batman and was surprised to see jim lee doing a "frank miller" style batman, nice tribute though
anyone seen dc direct's new stuff?? michael turner based batman, black canary, flash, elongated man and captain boomerang II for ID Crisis (batman is nicely posed but theres something about the face, possibly the large lips but no clear pictures dead-on, flash looks gd), ed mcguiness based justice league for JLA classified and more stuff on show. i'm now having second thoughts about getting any ed mcguiness figures, i like his animated style but do i really need another justice league if i get the ID Crisis and Alex Ross Justice figure?!?!

Oh jikas, i remembered the line-up for NBX 2
atriot_vl
07-15-2005, 03:43 PM
Some of the human features in it doesnt look as accurate as it could''vebeen and the colours are not as coherant or strong. maybe thats just me. I will most definately try and pick it up for keeps and hope it picks up in the next few issues.
Seen the X MEn ones but still Hush is the best overall colours, pencils and story. And I like it that they brought up whole lottsa bat family and rogue gallery and supes. :D
is that the turner cover for IC series? Are they all based on IC covers? I still did not see a clearer pic for em.
speaking bout justice league ... does anyone know where I can pick up the "evil"supermanfrom the Justice series? I think its not out yet...but i want that!
yikhaichan
07-15-2005, 03:54 PM
yeah, hush was a great way to get new fans into batman with jeph loeb and jim lee amoung a large majority of the bat-cast. it got me into DC. i'd rather own a piece of batman hush artwork then x-men 1990, unless its a good shot of cyclops, then i'd be forever trying to make a decision
the ID Crisis figures aren't based on the covers, michael turner created new control/concept art for the figures and the figures are based on that (similar to the way the hush line is based on jim lee's specific designs for the figures)
try:
http://afigures.com/g/?mode=album&album=2005_SDCC%2FDC_Direct%2FDC
"Evil" Alex Ross Superman is a retailer incentive figure (much like there are retailer incentive comic variants). from what i heard, a retailer had to order 75 copies of "Justice #1" before they could order ONE angry Superman. if you want one, you might have to pay big bucks, it could be rarer then the jason todd figure...

oh i found out that the squat or slide is the best pose for vega. i tried to stand him up and he topples a lot.

Im thinking i should have picked up Blanka when i saw him yesterday.
yikhaichan
07-15-2005, 04:31 PM
don't forget to tell impaler about the YMCA poses as well
the girl in the black outfit is black canary, part of the bat-family (sort of). in the comics, shes not in that outfit or has that hair. she only featured that way on #3 cover of ID Crisis and i guess michael turner kept that design. i don't like the eyes, a bit too "danger girl" sharp. i'm hoping because ID Crisis II figures won't be out until next year march, they'll tweak up batman's face because everything else says turner.
the more i think about it, the more i am gonna pass on mcguiness' justice league. the comics are enough, i guess.
and just won a patrick bateman for £10.94 inc shipping, ok now, no more, yik, no more...

haha thats a good deal for bateman...i hardly see him on FP shelves...and he is atleast 12.99 or 14.99 in some palces :D u lucky man.... i made the hard decision of passing on the dessert spawn for some other stuff...argh...
some sightingsin FP... McF Military is out. they brought in 2 GFF ... 42.99 pounds! :mad: .... they also had the marvel figure factory for 6.99 :eek: i wonder how many of those they expect to sell :p

MatriXXX reloaded - uncut, i've only heard rumours about it, never knew jikas would recreate a scene
i have seen bateman at £10.00 at the london con i went to a month ago, but thats the cheapest i've seen. its surpising that FP don't have many of them, maybe people are still wanting to get a christian bale figure after the awesomeness that was batman begins, pics when i get it (and bloody toxie wherever the hell it is)
figure factory for £6.99? i can't say i'm surprised, i already said i knew fp were gonna do that. with tourists and marvel fans, i think they'll sell well unfortuneately, especially when people find the ? marked figures, hoping its a chase

yeah, but i bought desert spawn about 3 days before those mez-itz.....i thought i'd have that before anything else. :(
and apparently i didn't have sufficient funds to pay for my 18" marv, so the paypal payment was rejected.....so i can't pay for that until thursday....meaning i'll have to wait even longer to get that. :(

I gets payed on Friday, so I might go onto the bay of Eness and buy a feth load of Binaltechs. FP sell tham at £40 each!!!!!! Total rip off, same for the original ones, and I really want an origianl tracks. But better yet, I'm going to the states this week, I am so coming back with far too many toys for my own good, and they'll cost pennies compared to over here.
Anyone know when Sf series 3 will hit here, I want that damn Balrog.

group shot!
i can see what you mean, atriot. black canary has "evil eyelashes" that i don't think i've ever seen michael turner actually draw, flash looks a lot older then he is (if that is indeed wally west), elongated man looks too young (he was a happily married man until atom's ex-wife burnt her alive) and batman...the eyes are turner, the puffy lips aren't
the good thing is these come out in march and can be tooled slightly if dc direct wanna actually sell these. i will get these instead of ed mcguiness' jla though, anyhow
still waiting for the post, heres hoping for a miracle

united in the sense that we are all against having to pay inflated prices when it comes to...absolutely everything in this country, although it has its good points
got another mini haul today, finally. Cult Classics Patrick Bateman, which i won on 15th July on eBay. i got an email from the seller yesterday telling me that they sent it. now, why can't every eBay seller do that instead of leaving us waiting. i'm still waiting for a few of the items i won 2 weeks back

i think those shots turned out well, clearest pics i've taken in a while.
as for the figure, he doesn't have the bale likeness unfortunately, the lack of articulation points makes it hard to stand (and where are the cut joints in the biceps?? every figure needs those!), his left hand can barely hold anything don't care what people say and his initial right hand has black point all over it (is it meant to be dried up blood?? nope).
other then the slight nitpicks, hes standard for a guy in a suit. and i tried posing him as bruce wayne in the last two shots, hehe

ah man, no fair...why does KITCH always get his hauls when he expects them?? he doesn't even open his stuff ;)
awesome haul, man. so are you going to open the bust when you say "better pics"?
not content on my haul this morning, i went out and got a Justice League Unlimited 3-Pack of The Flash, Dr Fate and Green Arrow and i'm leaving it blistered (no actual designated space for it, it doesn't match with anything I have at the moment). decided that if i wasn't going to get any ed mcguinness dc direct, this would satisfy my dc animated style universe and three 4.5" figures aren't bad for £9.99
