Bought Diablo and Jetpack Robocop yesterday. Former is pretty cool and looks nice and menacing, especially when paired with my Demon Fire Scarabus. Robocop is cool because he's Robocop, but the spring holster broke pretty much instantly. Can't return it either because the collectible shop only had this one left. Sucks, I actually dig that gimmick.
can't wait for the new ripley figures to come out... i have a rare tech noir figure for trade if anyone's interested by the way...
I masked off their eyes and nails and then coated all three of them in Dullcote. In hand they look much nicer, it's a little harder see the difference in pictures, but I think it was definitely worthwhile.
Just received the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes blu-ray from Target that was supposed to come with a free NECA POTA figure in retro packaging. Hope to get the figure soon.
Damn. I can't decide between the alien queen and the 18 inch cherno alpha. Although truth be told I liked the movie aliens more, and cherno alpha was probably my least favorite jaeger
If I were you I'd go for the Queen. At least there's more figures available that fit into scale with her. Speaking of the Queen, I want her so bad, but between that price point and the lack of room on my NECA shelf I'm a bit hesitant.
That's my other issue. right now I don't really have anywhere to display the queen. The cherno alpha would be easy, as he would join my other 18 inch figures on the floor of my mancave. Eventually I plan on taking out the bar in my basement and putting up detolf cabinets so the queen could go on top of one of those, or in it. But that might be 6 months from now, or 2 years.
I can't wait to receive the Alien Queen from TRU when it ships next week. Paid only $65 after tax. Cool.
I finally and I mean FINALLY after all this waiting and the fraud case I got I finally have my NECA turtles KOs. As you can see they arrived in the tube packaging instead of the big set and I........ don't really care that much because I have the NECA turtles and I'm happy with that. Now since these are KOs, there's the odor issue that Phelous warned about in his video and boy do they smell!! And since some of their joints are a bit stiff I'm giving them all a hot bath and will come back to you later. But for now I don't see any issues in them and Mikey doesn't have the off-colored left hand and all their weapons came out fine except for Donatello's staff which unfortunately came out warped in package.
I used an online coupon and a giftcard. Unfortunately TRU cancelled the order and is not selling it online so I probably now will just add it to my POL at BBTS.
I looked for them over the weekend and both TRUs I checked just had a legion of wave 1 Caesars. Was there an all-Caeser revision wave or something? I just thought it was strange that they went from having no POTA figures at all since July to a dozen Caesars each. This brings up a question I was going to ask: I was considering grabbing another Caesar to customize and remove the war paint. Has anyone done something similar? I want to make sure I do it right or if its possible because the paint is applied over other paint (especially on the face) and I wouldn't want to mess that up as I'm no good with painting. If NECA had been considerate and just included a non-screaming head with the Wave 2 Caesar I would have been all set. :/
That's strange. It was on their site for months as a preorder. Now it's not there. I was hoping I could put one on layaway once they actually had them in stock.
