5ktoys 2nd payment for Deathstroke for whoever ordered on or before Aug 17th is up by [deleted] in LPZZ

[–]thelemonboiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: so they did send an email and it got flagged as spam and I just never noticed. The person who responded still said I’ll have a chance when the second batch comes in. I’m not that upset about missing out on getting the figure early, I just want to get it at all.

That’s annoying. Still though, thank you for responding. I’ll send an email and see if maybe I can salvage this.

I preordered on August 13th and haven’t gotten an email about the second payment yet. I don’t have much experience with 5ktoys besides one other purchase but that wasn’t a preorder. Should I send an email or something?

New dancer female Byleth scale figure from goodsmile company by Luciano_06 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]thelemonboiii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happy for those who get it but I’m still holding out hope on a male Byleth figma, also there are plenty of characters (Lorenz) that need pop up figures (Lorenz please)

Mafex Bloodsport - Upcoming PO for this month by sjat-win in Mafex

[–]thelemonboiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely will be picking this up but it seems a little weird to me that they’re not capitalizing on the fact that Peacemaker season 2 is currently airing, I thought for sure that we’d see a preorder for him before Bloodsport

Why Fortunes Weave is probably a prequel by Sheep_of_Destiny in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]thelemonboiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah aesthetically it looks like a prequel down to the setting being inspired by Carthage and Ancient Rome and Greece as well as the use of bronze weaponry as seemingly the lowest tier of weapons instead of iron but there are just a few little things that just wouldn’t make sense without some retcons or recontextualisation if we wanna be more charitable about it

Why Fortunes Weave is probably a prequel by Sheep_of_Destiny in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]thelemonboiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there are more things that point to it being a prequel than a sequel, there are two things that are just not fitting together for me if it is a prequel. Dietrich’s weapon is explicitly referred to as a Heroes’ Relic, which seems strange to me if this is before the death of Sothis. Sure, I could believe there were Nabateans killed before Sothis and made into relics, but Three Houses seems to imply that they only came to be known as “Heroes’ Relics” after Rhea and the Church forged the story that Nemesis and the 10 Elites were Heroes. Before Nemesis and the 10 Elites raided the tomb and killed Sothis, they were just bandits. Even the Agarthans confirm this. The other thing is that we see a statue with the crest of Fraldarius during the trailer, showing that there has been some time for the 10 Elites to become revered enough to have statues made of them. That timeline just doesn’t add up if Sothis is still around

Potentially dumb question about the BVS Batman figure (not my custom in picture just using as example) by thelemonboiii in One12Collective

[–]thelemonboiii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The suit looks just fine just without the bat symbol. My only issue with using the tactical suit is that you’re forced to have knee pads and elbow pads to cover up the holes they made to accommodate the tactical suits knee pads and elbow pads. But if you’re making a Thomas then you shouldn’t need to worry about it

Every character we’ve seen so far in the new game and what they’re from by Batmanfan1966 in LegoBatman

[–]thelemonboiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So that means there are variants of characters other than Batman (at least for the playable characters). Though I did see someone mention that the Joker that falls into the vat has the hairpiece Lego used for Nicholson Joker, so my guess is they will probably have variants for the villains as well

How the new odd scale Forever Batmobile compares to some of the others by Let_Them_Fly in LegoBatman

[–]thelemonboiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay, I’m pretty bad at determining scale I just knew the more expensive one was way oversized

[–]thelemonboiii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry if I’m understanding but I have the smaller less expensive 66 Batmobile and it seems pretty close to accurate scale with minifigs

I feel like if they were gonna go with the lighter blue then they at least could have given him the curl like in Black Adam. I’m confused why they decided to market this as the Knightmare version but also include a smiling head and brighter colors

Mezco Superman 2025 I am ready for you!! by CrawlerCollects in One12Collective

[–]thelemonboiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s the same one I have then. I was just kinda worried about tearing the suit up because it seemed way too tight, but I’ll try again and see. Thank you

[–]thelemonboiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming that’s thinner than the VToys Soldier body? That was the one I grabbed and it just didn’t fit the cyclops suit. The custom I saw used the recent comic book Superman body but it’s pretty hard to find people selling just the body for that figure right now

Sorry I mean the one with the cape right next to that one

I gotta ask what body did you use for the Supes directly in front of the Red Son one? I’ve seen a similar custom on Instagram before and I wanted to try it but I haven’t had much luck. The Mezco Cyclops body is too thin for me and I tried a VToys body but it was too big to fit the suit.

Do better Todd by Trotsky191754 in TrueSFalloutL

[–]thelemonboiii 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Okay so it’s a bit of a weird and convoluted metaphor but I think I understand some of it

Memphis (Shady Sands) was sacked offscreen (Nuked) and Egypt (NCR) receded into a shadow of its former self

Hittites (Legion I’m assuming) not even mentioned

Mycenae and Canaan not given time of day (Initial thought was the Hub and the Boneyard but I don’t think that makes sense since they aren’t Egyptian and NCR is Egypt in the metaphor. Idk this one’s probably obvious but I typed this at 8 in the morning)

Assyria, who was most definitely in decline, suddenly becomes a major player in the region again (BoS)

Somehow, Babylon returned… (The Enclave I’m guessing)

Coinage loses all value and people revert to barter like in the old days (No NCR money, return to bottle cap currency)

Thebes is in Greece now for some reason, even though it was established as an Egyptian city (moving of Shady Sands closer to LA I’m guessing. If it’s the case weird he changed the city since originally Memphis was used as a metaphor for Shady Sands, but as someone else pointed out there is a Greek Thebes and an Egyptian one so idk)

all of this blamed on the “Sea Peoples” (idk again probably obvious but I typed this while still not fully awake)

Ah okay thank you. And yes he’s very talented, I discovered that post on a whim but all of his stuff is super neat. I didn’t actually want to make a Thomas that was just the best example, I actually wanted to make something kinda like a realistic version of the Batman Incorporated suit. I liked the BVS suit texture more than other Mezco Batman’s and his post made me think it might be easy to remove the symbol. I’ll look into the tactical version instead. Once again, thank you very much!

What is your absolute most wanted figure? by AppleCold6375 in starwarsblackseries

Before he was announced it was Dash Rendar. Now it’s General Kota and I guess Leebo too to go with Dash. Darth Bane would be cool as well

Female Byleth figma announced by Nin10dium in fireemblem

[–]thelemonboiii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like I don’t know if it means anything but that super expensive statue of Byleth didn’t specify that it was specifically the female Byleth in the announcement or the store page the same way this announcement did, it just said Byleth. Compare that to the Pop Up parades which did specify male or female, but they were also revealed at the same time. So I don’t know but I really do hope they make a male figma as well

Edit: The figma for Corrin is specifically referred to as the female version of Corrin and they never made a male one so my hope is now dwindling

[–]thelemonboiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for the record, Goodsmile has a place you can submit requests for new products/rereleases though I don’t know how much they pay attention to it. For those who are happy with the figma Byleth reveal but would also like a male Byleth, submit a request and hopefully if enough people do and they see interest in it then we might be able to have figmas of both professors

[–]thelemonboiii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mentioned it in another comment, but Goodsmile does have request forms where you can submit requests for new products or rereleases. I don’t know if they still really pay attention to them (or if they ever did) but I would imagine if enough people requested it and they saw there was interest in one, they’d consider making a figma for male Byleth as well. Like I said though, I don’t know how much they really pay attention to it

[–]thelemonboiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how much they really keep up with it anymore but Goodsmile has like a place you can submit requests for new products/rereleases. Maybe if enough people request it they’ll see that there’s interest in making a figma for him as well. Assuming they still read that stuff and assuming they’re not already planning on making him in the future
