AmiAmi was being ridiculous as always so I went with Hobby Search for Ant-Man and HLJ for Luke and the (non-Figuarts) HI-METAL R HWR-00-MKII. No headaches, now back to bed.

I got Ant-Man. Took me 10 minutes to check out.

And already we get a teaser for Black Panther too. He looks awesome.

Oh and more info on that Cap/Iron Man two-pack. Comes with a comic.

Ahhhh so prettyyyyy

If Former asks, I'm in a Turkish prison until after preorders open.

Dammit! I completely forgot about pre-orders this morning, and missed out on Luke and Ant-Man. :(

I'm lucky enough to have grabbed Ant man, no luck with Luke though :<

Antman is back up on AmiAmi!

Aw, the plastic insert ripped some paint off of my Phasma's back... Really don't like those sometimes.

Otherwise I think she's fine. Not blowing me away, but not bad.

How are the hips on your Phasma? Mine are really weird and won't hold poses properly - you can move the legs outward but after a little while they slip back into a neutral position as if they were elasticated :S

I hadn't actually messed with her that much yesterday (was having too much fun playing with Nendo Kirby haha), but just checked and mine are exactly the same. It's kind of annoying.

Definitely picking up Whis. Beerus wouldn't feel complete without him.

Took me way too long to realize how they made the orb float inside his staff :lol

The Myth Cloth 10th Anniversary DX Display Stage Set is on sale at HLJ for 750 yen!

A nice way to display your figures! Grabbed myself one.

Daaaaang! It's all sold out now. That stage is awesome, and I've wanted a couple extras. Totally would have grabbed a couple at that price. :(

Yeah, I tried to order one last night, they went crazy quick. I've been waiting for the price to drop again to grab one, so I was super bummed to miss it.

Black Widow is coming in September.

As a Web-Exclusive.

Sweet, I need it!

The head looks better than I remember that poorly photographed version from back when looking.

Yesss, can't wait! Though I don't like the idea of her being a Web Exclusive, I'm not too surprised they went that route with her.

Too bad it isn't the Civil War version but a Black Widow is a black widow XD

That is SUCH an improvement over the prototype head.

Yeah it's still the Avengers version they haven't bothered to release until now.

@Topic: Although we haven’t seen him yet, I assume Black Panther is a retail release in August, just because they have Ant-Man in July and Black Panther is already visible on the Tamashii homepage banner.

I'm not so sure about that, looks like the same face from a different perspective, which makes it look more like Scarlett Johansson but I'm not sure it will look like this once we see shots with neutral poses.

September eh? She's a maybe then. There are better things out around that time I'd rather have but I guess I'll grab her if I have the cash.

For some reason I thought it was the civil war one but I guess not. Still better than none! Haha. Hopefully Hawkeye follows soon too.

I just remembered that I have Mafex Armored Batman, wonder woman and Hulkbuster pre-order Ed who all come out in September so it could be an expensive month if I stick with Hulkbuster. But given the new payment requirements for web exclusives, black widow will probably require payment sometime in June or July.

I think that looks really good.

How different is Black Widows' Civil War outfit compared to her Age of Ultron one? I do admit that a small part of me wished that when we finally got her it would be for CW just because I wasn't a big fan of the blue lines on the AoU suit. Besides that I didn't think much was different between them. Eh, she'll stand out more this way and I don't really want to wait and hope there's a CW heh. (No I'm not talking myself into buying her...)

Hawkeye though. Him I'll definitely hope we get a CW version for. Really much prefer his look there over his past ones.

I dunno, the differences seem pretty night and day to me.

Her Civil War outfit is pretty close to her classic comic book look. I can see why some people would prefer it, it's arguably a better costume, but I think her AoU one makes for the better figure.

But most of all, after buying the AoU figures, I'd be pretty annoyed if they didn't finish that line up before moving onto Civil War renditions of everyone. I don't want to buy another Cap or Iron Man and Figma already dropped the ball with releasing the Avengers, it'd be nice to have some consistency.

Do Hawkeye and Black Widow from AoU first, then release new versions after the rest of the Civil War versions if people want them to match those ones.

Wow, that looks a lot better! Yeah now I see it too. Still an easy pass from me, I don’t care about Black Widow.

Was messing with my Phasma and realized why I've had issues balancing her... Her left leg is about half a centimeter longer than the other. :( The top knee joint is not pushed in as far as it should be, but I can't for the life of me get it to push in or figure out how to fix it.

I got my SHF Beerus in the mail the other day. I really like it and they did a great job on it. Pre-ordering Whis for sure.

Bluefin post this on their FB page. If you can pick any of the new Universe 6 fighters from Super which one would you pick?

For me, I would buy Hit. I still like to get Frost since I do like the colors on his design.

Either Final Form Frost as a retool from the existing Frieza mold or a new mold for First Form Frost which they can then repaint into First Form Frieza. Either way, I pass, Frost is boring.

Or maybe the Saiyan because he's a Saiyan. Who's also boring. Definitely not Chrono Trigger Robo 2.0 or the funny Carebear though. And the Piccolo wannabe hasn’t gotten enough screentime yet, right? Maybe if they bet he's going to be popular.

Cabba for sure with a very very close 2nd being Frost. His final form would be an insanely easy remold/repaint of Final Form or Golden Frieza. But I need both ultimately. Cabba hands down is a must. I'd take Hit too but I don't care nearly as much about him at this point.

That would be Hit and he does not have much in common with Piccolo. He is a assassin and will give his opponents a chance to surrender while he holds back his true power. In my opinion, he is one of my favorite new character in the show and I would love to own a S.H Figuart of him.

I'm talking visual cues, should’ve clarified that, he just reminds me of Piccolo in design and I think that’s intentional. Or you know, its Toriyama being Toriyama again with his small assortment of character designs.

That Hit-guy would make for a much more interesting figure than the Saiyan or Frost though.
