The "Look At What I Just Got!" Thread

jmurray90720 · 12-09-2014, 11:41 PM

I bought Carl and Andrea tonight. His wrists dont really bother me, and since he only has a set of keys and a knife I don't think they will see much action anyway. He is just a placeholder until the new one comes out. Andrea's hands really bother me though, they cant hold her weapons and I noticed she and Maggie are slightly undersized, especially compared to Michonne. Not a big deal to me. She's dead anyway.

Speaking of the dead, Lori deserves a figure. Is it against the rules to market a pregnant action figure? The pregnant stomach could just be a removable flannel vest that is in the bottom of the package. Given her legacy, the affect her death had on Rick and that she died so Judith could live, she is an important enough character to not need to be on the show to sell. How can we be getting Gareth and then assume the ship has sailed for f*** ing Lori? Come on. The only thing I can think of is that the actress Sarah Wayne Callies didn't want an action figure made of her or took issue with the likeness. Maybe I'm scarred from Lucy Liu and Linda McMahon but it has to happen all the time.

Judith (the baby, not the fetus) should come with Beth, as well as her USPS bin crib. Makes enough sense since Beth was her caretaker at the prison. Beth for series 8!!!! As long as this show and these figures keep doing what they're doing, I'll keep buying them.

I guess I got luck. I've got Daryl (and chopper) and Maggie, and they are both fairly sturdy.

No pics since I'm trying to catch up, but here's what I've picked up in the last two months:

SW Black 6" Vader, Protofett, Chewie, and Biker Scout/Speeder Bike.
TF Generations Gears, Tailgate, Skrapnel, Acid Storm, Tankor, Rattrap, Windblade, Crosscut, Nightbeat, Jhiaxus, Brainstorm, Roadbuster, Sky-Byte and Jetfire.
HW Retro '76 Lotus Esprit S1 from The Spy Who Loved Me (submarine mode) and the Karate Kid '47 Ford convertible.
Nick TMNT Comic Leo, Mikey and Don, Bebop, Rocksteady, Tiger Claw and Robotic Foot Soldier. (would have had Comic Raph, but the one I got was defective and I have yet to find another to replace him).

Last but not least, I picked up all of the MI 6" GOTG series.

Also I technically picked up MP-10 Reissue w/Vector Sigma and MP Bumblebee. But they are in my POL @ BBTS waiting on MP Magnus, so I don't actually have them in hand...yet.

bmorr · 12-10-2014, 07:06 PM

im still looking for that damn submarine car, Treble.

jamesmruddy · 12-10-2014, 07:08 PM

Awesome find today.

redx24 · 12-10-2014, 08:32 PM

Found the black mask/joker wave of multiverse figs today. Got to search and pick and chose from several sets. Even got harley with a decent set of eyes, so yay

TimothyR · 12-10-2014, 10:40 PM

These are not too fragile, the problem is that some of the paint gets stuck in the joints as most McFarlane toys. you have to move them carefully or run them under some hot water to get the joints working right. After that they do pretty well. The biggest issue I have found are the paint apps. Its great to find them in store but online ordering can be horrible.
I have been waiting for my walgreens to get some, so far I have only had some luck at gamestop. the Carol seems to be the worst paint problem, the eyes are crazy. Abraham and Hershel are really spot on. the Bungee zombie is okay but mine looks kind of like one of the old toy biz resident evil zombies. And finally, Rick.
The sculpt is totally there, the wash they used and the eyebrows are way off. He looks like he was cleaning a chimney and lost his eyebrows. In pictures he looks good but in person not so much- totally opposite of the Daryl figure.
Still a great line, but we have most of the main figures so get ready for re-paints and B-teams (which I am still okay with)

I think I know what one of the next re-tooled figures might be. After they re-released the season 2 Rick with the head from season 1 and Shane with just a new head... I'm pretty sure the season 5 Rick will look something like this.

I still need to re-paint and sculpt some details but I am really happy with this.

Lori should come with a pregnancy test and morning after pills.
We still need a flashback T-Dog and Dale, maybe even a season one Glenn. And if they did another Shane it would be awesome if they made a 2 pack with Otis when they went to the high school. Rick on horseback would be cool.

I wouldn't be too upset if they had a series with only one or two humans and all of the rest walkers, McFarlane likes making monsters and it would be cool to get more to out-number the group. Or it could be part of a flashback series so they don't have to make new humans.
I really do wonder when I will get tired of this show or the toys.

Yeah, Robin is tough, only saw 1 of him so far. Couple weeks ago when I 1st saw the Joker, they had 4 Harley's there.

decepticon_mark · 12-11-2014, 02:58 PM

Finally got upgrades for two of my favorite Marvel heroes. Much better than the Epic Heroes Punisher and Face Off Daredevil IMO.

zombombie · 12-11-2014, 03:18 PM

Been looking to get High Octane Bumblebee for a while, and when I saw that TRU had money off it, I couldn't resist! And I couldn't believe it when I saw one of the new LARP Turtles in the wild here in the UK. Can't wait to get the other 3 brothers!

I was on the fence about whether or not I needed a second Shadow Trooper set, but when I saw that Target has them reduced to $40, I couldn't pass on that deal.

Also, I went to three different Dollar Trees and only found two Transformer ornaments. I had no luck at the first two locations, and the last one just had a single Soundwave and a single Megatron. I had no idea that these ornaments would be so popular. Hopefully I'll find Optimus Prime before Christmas.

En Sabah Nerd · 12-12-2014, 02:15 PM

Went to TRU hoping to find new Dawn of Planet of the Apes Luca, no luck there. I did find and purchase the last endoskeleton gunner buried under all the Robocops.

Sweet find. Did they fix some of the legacy issues with that figure? Does he still feel fragile, and do the pistons on his legs still hinder articulation?

Man...all these people getting black movie Batman without having to buy the movie. Way to go TRU...no wonder I can't find it.
