    I just preordered, didn't want to bother waiting for it. I know the preorders are open a while, but typically only at Nippon-Yasan who I only deal with if it's the only available option.

    I love that fucking cape on 89 Batman. I hate plastic capes and robes with a passion.

    Yeah, same. Haha. Doesn't help that the IW version of Star Lord is almost identical to the GOTG2 one anyways.

    I hope we get more Endgame announcements or may MCU in general.

    S.H. Figuarts Batman (1989) Coming from Tamashii Nations


    I’d rather hear these words coming directly from Bandai/Tamashii Nations rather than their distributor. All we can do is pray...

    That is a weird post considering Bandai owns Bluefin. It read's like a toy blogger's post having no idea what's coming or like they're not even involved. They should explain if they're actually going to distribute it or not rather than tell us what the current exchange rate means for the Japanese release.

    That seems pretty solid. That's how Bluefin typically operates, a month behind Japan.

    You'd think they would be pushing this in the US p-bandai store as opposed to I guess a general release. Don't see what the point of trying to re-push the p-bandai store again if you're not gonna bother to sell any other p-bandai shf's, unless the store front is purely gonna be for dragon ball shf's

    All these guys do is distribution I doubt any of them have a say in what bandai/tamashii nations should or shouldn't make/release. If that were the case I'd feel we'd have a lot more niche characters figures that bandai probably wouldn't have made otherwise

    Hopefully the cradle at least. Would probably get me to switch from Hasbro's then.

    Not looking forward to staying up late for those two though heh.

    Bandai released an arm - THREE TIMES - they can find a way to justify The Child as a solo release heh.

    Sigh, I really really want the Beskar version of Mando, but I’m not over the moon with SHF’s mold for him. I’m still waiting for Hasbro to do one, but if they don’t, then this might be the only option. Looks like I might have to stay up for preorders just in case.

    The child I’m sticking with Black Series. I don’t wanna spend over $10, despite the cuteness lol

    The wait has paid off @Slave IV! ;) 

    I'm in for the Figuarts Beskar Mando only for now while I'm pre-ordering the 1/6th version (regular release) scale later this year.

    Edit: Thanks to this post, I'm going to post a update in the 1/6th thread on the Full Size Baby Yoda! :D

    I know that's all they do, but they're still owned by Bandai. You'd think they'd have some communication on whether or not they're going to release something here. I could've written their press statement and had the same exact information.

    I just wish BigBad would put up the 70s Toei Spider-Man up for Preorder. I have been checking all week.

    I don’t think there is any scenario where Hasbro still exists and doesn’t make a Beskar Mando. Just a matter of time. Either way, I’m getting both.

    What wait? I ordered all Mandos from SHF and Hasbro so far.:D 
    Will continue the trend.
    I do hope SHF makes some IG units though because Hasbro’s are not great.

    I really want to jump in on some of those reissues, but I'm gonna beg to wait and see what actually releases in April. I have a lot of preorders that got deferred and I have to assume they'll start coming in then.
    If release schedules and my wallet allow, I'll grab a couple when they become available.
