The "Look At What I Just Got!" Thread

Trivial Psychic · 03-19-2016, 05:58 PM

On a day where Donald Trump was in town barking about illegal aliens, I was happy to find some LEGAL Aliens at my local TRU, snagging up the whole set.

I recently got some more Star Wars Expanded Universe figures:

Dark Empire Clone Emperor Palpatine

Dark Empire Princess Leia

Heir To The Empire Mara Jade

Dark Empire Luke Skywalker

Since I’d found this particular version of Luke earlier, I’ve run across him two times at my LCS. This particular one was interesting to me as the lightsaber in the package has a more reddish appearing lightsaber than I’d seen (all others had what appeared to be an orange tint on the lightsaber blade) so I figured it was worth buying so that I’d have a somewhat different looking example in my MOMC figure collection.

I wish they had used a slightly more updated version of that Mara Jade headsculpt for the Black Series figure instead of the hot mess of a sculpt that we got. That figure is going to be kitbashed the second I open it (if I ever do,) because she's a freak on a leash! That Mara you picked up there is clearly the superior! Good catch!

didnt know about this until a while back! luv Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers! i had this in my cart on amazon for like $30 (just in case it ever went down in price and I couldnt find one in stores), but bought this up as soon as I found it

Got this guy on Friday, on the PAK spring sale - he was 40% off !
*see attached thumbnails*

Very good quality figure, digging a lot the paint details and the sculpt !

dely11 · 03-20-2016, 05:35 PM

Here are my newest adds:

The Boba Fett is my first expensive figure, but wholly cow is it awesome! The detail is impeccable and amazing. This one will probably just be for display.

The Goku is my first foray into DB, I've watched the shows since I was a kid and i foresee a lot more in this line.

Deadpool because Deadpool. Thats really all there is.

And lastly they are among the rest. Im running out of space. I think they will need their own shelves very soon. I have a SH FIguarts Broly on the way that I just cannot wait for.

I don't collect Simpsons figures but I had to buy that figure the moment I saw him. I love Tom Petty too, I've seen him every time he's been to Kansas City for almost 20 years. It's been like 6-8 shows.

I have one of those too and he's one of my favorite Batman figures. He's lots of fun to pose and really stands out on a shelf! I wish they would have stuck with that scale and especially that price range for all their lines because I would have picked up a lot more.

Today's mail arrivals sorry for shitty pics ,couldn't get the proper light or angel

there's been one of those armored batman figures at a walmart near me for a while, and i always wondered if the one i was seeing was put together improperly because of the arms not being able to go to his sides.. but it looks like they're all like that. is there any reason for them designing it like that?

redx24 · 03-21-2016, 04:57 PM

Picked up an unmasked kylo ren at Walmart today. 5 poa stuff but it'll be going on a black series body soon.

He was made to hold a gun in my opinion. They must have left it out. I am looking for something to scale for him. But that is my guess.

iLLest · 03-21-2016, 08:04 PM

I got this in the mail today. It was in pretty good shape but i buffed it with some plastic wax, and it turned out pretty good. The last 2 pics are after I buffed out the scratches a bit.

I have one of these since the 80s. Yours looks great mine need a paint job and some glass work not to mention the decpticon symbol on the back.

Looks great! That is easily one of the best toy vehicles ever made.

sounds like that big 18"(?) boba fett a year or 2 back that had his hand in a gun holding position, but didn't come with a gun...so of course i passed!

Thanks! Another interesting facet about these expanded universe figures is the cardbacks contain pop-up background scenery shots or as they called it "3D playscenes". You have to cut up the cardbacks to get to the scene though.

Here are some Batman v Superman items that I picked up recently from both Target and Wal-Mart:

Epic Strike Batmobile

Multiverse Batman

Multiverse Armored Batman

Multiverse Superman

Multiverse Wonder Woman

PlayTime · 03-23-2016, 12:48 PM

His wrist blades are on backwards/upside down. Does he have his trophy belt? I don't want to jump to conclusions but that might be a knock-off.

305Batman · 03-23-2016, 04:27 PM

Is it a KO? The suspense is killing me!

PlayTime · 03-23-2016, 06:43 PM

It is

For what I paid it was clear that it was a KO but I took a chance anyway.

Also just picked this up at Walgreens to complete my Hulkbuster ... FINALLY!!!!
