Yup! I saw this and I’m soooooo tempted! But he will be out of scale with my Mattel WWE and Super7 figures! *Fun or sad fact: Liger “officially” retired at NJPW’s WrestleKingdom this year...
That's already been released in the US! https://smile.amazon.com/Storm-Coll..._1?keywords=storm+liger&qid=1585155292&sr=8-1
Still waiting and hoping these guys make Hanzo and Genjuro from Samurai Showdown. They've pretty much got the big 90's arcade fighting game licenses.
They probably will.. Eventually. Meanwhile I'm still waiting on the Fist of the North Star Kenshiro they showed off a year ago.
Just got an update from Amazon. Golden Axe skeletons are delayed for a month. I only want the skeletons. Maybe the cock-diesel dwarf if they make him.
Nothing so far. When it comes to their Injustice figures, Darkseid and Lobo were both scheduled for a Q1 release, with Doomsday a Q2 release, according to Storm's website. So far all three are still preorders. I'm guessing the pandemic has forced their release schedules back by a few months at least. Which sucks because I'm dying for Doomsday.
Regarding the Mortal Kombat line, was there any confirmation of its cancellation now that McFarlane Toys are using the license or are we still getting more from them in the future?
No word that I've seen of ST cancelling their MK line, nor would they, I would think. My understanding is that Storm have the license to produce characters from the first 2-3 games whereas McFarlane has the license for the latest game, MK 11.
Yeah, it's probably similar to how they have the license for specific Street Fighter games instead of the whole franchise.
Vintage Fenix came in today. Originally wasn't a fan of the colors, but for $15, not gonna pass that up. Now having him in hand, it's not that bad. Even the headsculpts look better in person than they do in the product shots.
Nice, I wish I would've been able to grab one to mess around with. I haven't played a GoW game in years, but enjoyed it when I did.
I don't enjoy the games near as much as I used to. I only play the campaigns now, but even that is a struggle to get me interested. Anyways, I ordered Kait from Amazon since I had credit there. Shes sold out on Gamestop, so I won't be finding any ridiculous deals for her. As for the standard version of Cole and Marcus, I'm gonna try to get those during the next gamestop sale.
Legit just found out the other day that Storm got the license for Darkstalkers. Never played the games but I absolutely adore the lore of the series. Excited to hear that Dimitri and Morrigan are the first off the list to be put in physical form. Though if there's one character I gotta say i'd be more than excited for... Lilith, anyone? Though, a VERY close second place goes to Lord Raptor, gotta love this crazy guitar shredder.
Though, if I had to give one critique. I kinda wish that, though it's probably never gonna happen considering this is Storm, I kinda wish they would go with a more anime-like style that's in line with the original Darkstalkers games than in comparison to, say, the latest MvC games, for example. Besides that, it's easily a style that would resonate more with me personally. Though I would still be absolutely fine with how Storm puts out their usual fare. Just throw in a crapton of extra hands and faces, then you have me in for the long run, ha. I'm just happy to have them work on Darkstalkers stuff in the first place, just go full force on this stuff and bring it on!
Worked on my Gears shelf earlier: Cammy arrived yesterday and got Cyrax in today. Wasn't planning on getting Cyrax, but messing around with the figure, I do like it alot so the other Cyborg are in my Amazon cart waiting for any sort of drop in price. Cammy, shorter than what I was expecting. I accidentally popped an arm out and the shoulder filler piece flew out. Not sure which direction it was supped to go it, I pulled out the other one to check. It too flew out.... aha Stupid me should've just looked at it instead of pulling it out. Anyways, now both arms pop out pretty easy. Also got Battle Costume Chun Li the other week. Had to grab her before she goes up in price.
