[trebleshot]

Saw a bunch of new stuff last night during my "rounds". Sorry for the lack of pics, but my phone was dead while I was running around and it won't charge when my car's off.

Anyway, the Target, Walmart and TRU I stopped at had the Half-Shell Heroes. At that same Target I saw that giant-ass X-Wing, which made me both impressed and saddened. I love the size, but it's useless to me if I can't put a pilot in the cockpit.

Other sightings at Target: a lone Jakks Mario figure.

Other sightings at Walmart: 6" SWBS Bespin Luke, ANH Han and ROTS Obi-Wan; and DCMV Reeve Superman.

Other sightings at TRU: new Imaginext triceratops, stegosaurus and T-Rex (even more cartoonish-looking than before); Rescue Bots electronic Optimus Primal; 6" Bowser and DK from Jakks; GOTG Minimates (why is there no Gamora?!); new COD zombie 5-pack (Epidemic?), bike mini-set and a GTAM rack mini-set.

I'm not a fan of Kamen Rider, and I don't like Sailor Moon enough to spend $40 on a figure, but I'm going to do some research into that line and see what other characters are available.

I currently own two so far: Shinken Red (aka PR Samurai Red Ranger) and Mario. Both are amazing, but most Figuarts are like that. In fact, there's really only one or two that I've heard of which had real issues.

There's all kinds of IPs that Figuarts covers, so you'll probably find something in there that sparks your interest. But definitely check out online reviews first, just in case.
