Owen Grady and Blue will be available later. Get 'em while ya can, folks!

Got the Shin “Zou” Godzilla store exclusive, as well as a repaint of the Ghidorah in Blue(looks dope).
They had some cool gashapons as well, and luckily I got the Ghidorah one.

NECA Razor Claws, Chrysallis and Arachnoid Aliens. Wasn't even planning on adding them to my growing Xeno Hive... But when I stumbled across them in person, I had to.
NECA Freddy vs. Jason
My second version of Jason, following Part 7. Looks like this'll be the last NECA Jason for sometime until the character's rights get sorted out. Hope NECA does a Freddy from the same film to go along with. Loved his look in the film as well.

I’m going to Tampa Comic Con. There will be two G importers there. I know the yen price is around $65 from Universal JP. What do you think a reasonable $ amount is for EVA KG would be?MM Raids Again wrote: And, finally pulled the trigger on...

Re: What Toy Did You Just Buy?
I just paid $75 on it, shipped. So I'd say no more than $80, which seems to be the general floating price. Even Mandrake has them listed for around 6,000 Yen ($58 or so) non-shipped when they're available. I just never see them available in time/when I have the funds. Don't fall for the fandom scalpers that will try and sell them for like double/triple their MSRP.MoK 13 wrote:I’m going to Tampa Comic Con. There will be two G importers there.

Re: What Toy Did You Just Buy?
Thank You Sir. Right in line with my thinking. One of the importers I have been buying from for years & is usually GTG on new Bandai vinyls.MM Raids Again wrote:I just paid $75 on it, shipped.

Re: What Toy Did You Just Buy?
Totally agree with your conclusion. Just got my own for $70, anything more than $80-$85 is a scam. You can find them pretty fairly priced with the right peopleMM Raids Again wrote:I just paid $75 on it, shipped. So I'd say no more than $80, which seems to be the general floating price.

Re: What Toy Did You Just Buy?
Just picked up the NECA Rodan and FvJ Ultimate Jason from GameStop.
Need some advice on Jason, would you folks recommend I keep him unopened due to the rights being on hold for value purposes or go ahead, break the seal, and display him?

Re: What Toy Did You Just Buy?
I can't believe I'm saying this, since I never keep figures in boxes, but I'd leave him unopened. I don't really know Friday the 13th all that well, but wasn't there some dvd set that got super expensive because of a rights thing?Stump Feet wrote:Just picked up the NECA Rodan and FvJ Ultimate Jason from GameStop.

Or is it a rights thing strictly with NECA?

Re: What Toy Did You Just Buy?
The Firday the 13th lawsuit involves everything Jason related and FvJ is the last figure NECA was allowed to produce of the character until the rights clear up, which might be never if I grasp things correctly.
Meaning we'll never see another movie or ounce of merch involving him again.
It definitely pains me to keep him in the box sealed but that's why I bought him so hey, what can yah do?

1. Take out and display him
2. Keep MIB
3. To sell
4. For backup
5. A backup for your MIB figure

Re: What Toy Did You Just Buy?
Had a couple dollars burning a hole in my pocket so I decided to pick up the large JAKKS Ghidorah set with the Argo and destructo building.
Hate how undetailed Ghidorah is but I love the size and needed a 2019 Ghiddy in my collection, the GMK just wasn’t doing it for me anymore

Re: What Toy Did You Just Buy?
Not sure if you're into repainting things, but you'd be astonished what a coat of actual gold paint (compared to whatever "gold" they used for the mold) will do to that mold. Just makes the figure pop.Stump Feet wrote:Had a couple dollars burning a hole in my pocket so I decided to pick up the large JAKKS Ghidorah set with the Argo and destructo building.

I know they're targeted for kids, but I rather enjoy the Jakks releases for what they are.

The ugly yellow doesn’t bother me so much, it’s the lack of mouth color and I’d love to be able to repaint but my oldend eyes would never allow me to get the amount of detail I’d be satisfied with.

Fair enough. For the price point, can't really go wrong with those releases. Agreed on the lack of mouth paint.Stump Feet wrote:The ugly yellow doesn’t bother me so much, it’s the lack of mouth color and I’d love to be able to repaint but my oldend eyes would never allow me to get the amount of detail I’d be satisfied with.

Re: What Toy Did You Just Buy?
Oh definitely not, fourteen bucks isn’t that bad at all, just two bucks more than the standard Bandai America figure.
Before today, the only Ghidorah I had in my collection was the BA GMK and I’ll jump at any reasonable priced Ghidorah if I can find one.
