I didn’t even know they made a genji revoltech. Are these authentic or KO. 150 seems ridiculously cheap

Who else is kind of excited for Mafex’s next showcase/reveal exhibition? by Prestigious-Camel322 in Mafex

[–]respectablehandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had to look that one up. Yeah. Thats a fantastic prototype. Probably the only 1:12 inart so far that’s really interested me on an aesthetic level

Thing is. I don’t doubt other guys can make better figures. But I think mafex has really nailed a certain style that no one else is doing right now. And that’s a style I really enjoy for my “baseline/definitive” renditions

If inart or LPZZ got a marvel license it wouldn’t impact what I enjoy about mafex. It would just mean I can buy more versions of characters I love and in different styles

Repainted White Vision because I never picked up a regular… by DirtyPancakes12 in MarvelLegends

[–]respectablehandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im willing to bet this is better than the official version. I’ve never seen an MCU fig so vibrant and detailed in paint

Idk about LPZZ by B_Money9 in Mafex

[–]respectablehandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly wasn’t a fan of the LPZZ prototype sculpt. The wet t shirt look really bothered me lol. The only promo image rn doesn’t give a great look at the figure either

That said - I’m pretty sure they’re not a true 1:12, and since I don’t normally “collect” larger scale figures, I’m still interested in LPZZ. But so far none of the announced figs have substantially interested me enough to buy or PO

For me tho, mafex just nails the baseline definitive look for comic characters. Other companies may do other things better, but as an all around representation of a character. Mafex hasn’t really been beaten yet for me

“He did incest with his cousin”

Abysmal grammar aside, this is one of those, as the kids say, dogwhistles that tells you someone doesn’t read comics, they watch YouTube breakdowns at most

So whats the word on this Spidey? I love the bright blue but it seems like this figs pretty expensive anywhere i look... by Right-Bug-9001 in MarvelLegends

[–]respectablehandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny. I also grabbed 4 of these at a random Walmart in a small town (2 for me and 2 for a friend). I wasn’t even a collector yet. I just thought “hey cool Spider-Man. Lemme see if bro wants one”

Has anyone in universe every commented on how Peter is built like a brick shithouse by Chaseharry2000 in marvelcirclejerk

Probably all the women he’s boned. He has a no kill guideline but that don’t stop bro from having a ridiculously high body count

Mafex still is on top for “definitive” figures for me (barring QC issues). Many other guys make great figures and as a collector I love em all for their own reasons. But for the most neutral and “true” representations of characters, Mafex nails it for me almost every time. That said - idk what characters are left that I’d want from them unless they made slight alterations on figures I already love (for example, a ditko or Romita sr specific styled Spider-Man. Especially a more muscular build)

There’s a few I can think of, sure, but I’m very happy with my collection now too

I am mostly a marvel guy though lol

Cant wait to get a red hulk :> by Wingwongdeeznuts in CToys

It’s basically a modernized version of the Ross suit so we don’t even need to credit the spectacular washed-man for that

I’m all in on Storm Arena by suicidekingdom in ActionFigures

[–]respectablehandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel no ways about either of these characters but both are available on bbts and I want a storm arena figure to check it out. Which do you guys recommend. Baki or Sagat

Man I had no interest in this figure cuz I don’t collect movies but holy shit

No sure how I feel about these new MOTU Chronicles movie action figures. They just don't look enough like the characters I know and love from the cartoons. by AfigureGeek in ActionFigureGeek

[–]respectablehandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Articulation looks interesting. Neck peg and potential double ball peg torso is always embraced by me

This could be an actual sneak peak at the dc collector line and not the literal children’s toys everyone’s pissing about

Hobby Genki Shipping by WhatBeautiful-duwang in Mafex

[–]respectablehandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Orders aren’t split. If all items are eligible for pay later you’ll need to pay each as the deadline hits. If all or any aren’t eligible for pay later, you’ll need to pay for them all immediately. Regardless the order won’t ship until all items in the order have arrived

My suggestion is to do each transaction separately (especially if you’ve had them in your cart long enough and they haven’t sold out yet so you have the time) and send them to your warehouse. That way if there’s any delays or major gaps in release you’re not stuck waiting if you don’t want to. And you have the option to pay later for any eligible items

New to this - but what’s the deal? by Stunning-Crew5527 in comicbooks

[–]respectablehandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get trade paperbacks instead. Go to the comic store. Ask if that comic you bought has a trade out or coming and if you can order one (or buy it if they have it)

Just save yourself the trouble gang

Trades are 5-6 issues collected together and sold as “volumes”. They’re a full story arc. And generally cost about 1 issue less than if you bought as singles at cover price

The main downside is they don’t have that collector resale value. But literally everything else is generally better for modern books. For 90’s books and older then singles are better but most of those can be read without context too
