    I think it's pretty spot on given it's based on Jim Lee's art.

    That's fair. Again, I can't point to any one particular thing... maybe it's one of those character designs that simply doesn't translate well to 3D?

    The flower on the lapel is the wrong color. ::shrug::

    I think he's cool, but maybe not the definitive Joker because his suit is kind of a FT-16M Sovereign shade of bluish purple.

    I'm little bit glad for the delays, between just paying for the Ps5 and hoping to get Xbox at gamestop this Tuesday so I don't have to pay in full, I don't mind that extra cash from the delays.

    HLJ and AmiAmi shows Miles as having an October release now. I was looking forward to Miles this month but I also don't mind him getting pushed back as this month was becoming a bit expensive for me anyways. haha.

    Yeah this month was a monster from AmiAmi, so I'm not too upset to have the MAFEX I had for it pushed out... But damn do I really just want to get Miles in hand already. He's the one that made me finally give in and get into MAFEX after all, I've really been looking forward to him.

    Just an FYI for you guys, there is a YouTube channel called Toymigos, where a industry veteran Adam Van Wickler is one of the hosts and in their chat there is a guy who works in the import game. This guy Shawn S has been talking about Mafex and SHF’s futures of late and he has been saying a lot of crazy stuff that you would not expect to be coming out next year for both companies. I really hope you guys check their show’s chats out and see what he is saying is coming out in the next year and a half, so we can all have a discussions on all this great stuff. This guy has been right on pretty much everything so far, so I am confident this stuff is coming. I have tried telling a few guys on here about this of late, but it has fell on deaf ears, hopefully this will spark some conversation.

    Could you not... summarize it here? Please? Going hunting through 50-120 minute episodes for the relevant bits doesn't sound the most exciting..

    It will take Mafex 2+ years to get out everything they've already announced. I've stopped pre-ordering their stuff reflexively because it's so far off on the horizon. I can't even bring myself to care about rumors of things even further off.

    Figuarts is on schedule, though. I have Beskar Mando and Child pre-ordered at AmiAmi. Too bad SHF Mando is trash and Amiami doesn't allow pre-order cancellations. It's the injury of paying for a figure you don't want coupled with the insult of a figure you do want being delayed (Miles). Plus, I have to overseed my lawn! Die, September!

    Sure, just wanted you guys to know where I am getting the information from and that I am not making stuff up. Here goes, but I know I am forgetting stuff:

    -All of the Figuarts/Marvel prototypes that have been shown the last few years will be rolling out next year
    -Mafex Archangel, Rogue,Cable, Jean, Bishop and they will do villains
    -Figuarts Marvel/DC Comic lines, Neal Adams Batman is coming
    -New SHF Black Panther new sculpt
    -Disney Plus Figuarts, but he said he can’t reveal till March 22nd
    -Empire Strikes Back Figuarts bounty hunters are coming, but he did not list who
    -Hush Tim Drake Robin is next after Joker
    -Superman, Green Arrow, and Mutant Dark Knight Mafex
    -Soft goods on SHF comic figures
    -He will know next week if SHF Nicholson Joker is happening
    -Green Lantern, Cyborg, Superman, and Firestorm comic figures coming but can’t tell which company he meant
    -SHF comic Marvel line will start with Dr. Strange, Captain America, and Iron Man
    -More SHF Mando and ESB stuff, going deep on bounty hunters
    -Mafex is thinking about getting heavy with Star Wars again
    -SHF Movie Mysterio
    -Mafex Bro Thor
    -Mafex Netflix Daredevil
    -SHF MCU Vision
    -old school comic Fantastic Four..figuarts I think
    -Mafex MCU Hulk
    -Import Crow figures, but he didn’t say who by or which Crow
    -Mafex Endgame Thanos
    -possible SHF Ghostbusters
    -also dropped some bombs about Hot Toys stuff, but I did not pay much attention, I know he said another Black Panther is coming from them as well


    He drops a lot of info in the chat on these episodes:




    I just want to state I am a toy fan and just wanted to share it with my toy friends here. I am transparent on where I am getting my info from and now you have the same means. If Adam Van Wickler of Gentle Giant vouches for Shawn S than that is good enough for me and hopefully you too. Oh yeah, Adam worked on that awesome Mattel Batman, with David Vonner that has been making the rounds lately. Hopefully all this stuff comes to pass, please discuss away.

    that seems like an impossibly large amount of stuff. The ones that I most want from that list:

    Netflix daredevil
    Neal Adams batman
    Comic GL and Sups
    Rogue, Jean

    possibly some of the ESB SHF’s but really depends on who.

    -Mafex Archangel, Rogue,Cable, Jean, Bishop and they will do villains

    That would knock out a huge chunk of the team.

    -Superman, Green Arow, and Mutant Dark Knight Mafex

    Good lord if that nail that green arrow I will be all in for the dark knight returns stuff. I have been waiting forever for a company to do that figure.

    -He will know next week if SHF Nicholson Joker is happening

    I forgot they made the 89 batman. Is he still around for preorder? I will have to see as I missed the mezco one so still need a decent 89 batman on the shelf.

    -Import Crow figures, but he didn’t say who by

    You are talking Crow like the crow Brandon Lee movie yeah? I would live a good articulated figure of that.

    I'll be interested to see how they manage the wings on Archangel. Would easily translate to a Hawkman remold.
    Sad there's no Wonder Woman or Spider-Man 2099 in the works.

    Not sure about going down an SHF comic figure rabbit hole... my wallet can only take so much.

    Hey Bryan, yes, the SHF Batman is still available on BBTS and he didn’t specify which Crow the figures are based on, but it has to be the Brandon Lee version right?

    Could be the original comic look, especially if they don't get the rights to the likeness.
