[Shin Densetsu]

Bumping this thread because I found myself at a crossroads. I simply have too much stuff and I started looking more at stuff I regretted buying, like "WTF why did I buy this, this sucks!". Then I took a trip to the stores and looked and didn't buy much. It only reinforced my stance on going more towards importing rather than buying domestic. In addition, in recent months I got back into plamo and now want to build MG Figurerise. A few years back, I started to make simple customs and have taken baby steps since. It invigorates my creative side.

Some of the newer domestic stuff just isn't doing it for me. I thought "hey, I'll get that super poseable Amazing Spiderman from the Amazing Spiderman 4" movie line". Bad decision. Figure comes off looking too thin, legs are too long, sculpt was killed for articulation.

Saw Clone Wars, most of it looks cheap, and Hasbro is charging higher all around for Star Wars. However with Star Wars, I understand inflation and all that, but it seems like we are paying more for CHEAPER product. For Spiderman I will just stick with the 6" figures whenever those come out.

For GI Joe, some figures were gimped, I got the Ghost HAWK II, decent but good lord looks like a ninja turtle jet. The 1st Rock figure in the line has a bum right hand for some weird gun attachment contraption.

I got some Thundercats figures but the line looks DEAD. Shame too because the cartoon kicks ass and is one of the best cartoons on in the US.

Then I look at stuff in Japan that I know will cost a pretty penny but will be worth it. I mean I got my 1/60 VF-17S by Yamato a few weeks back and that thing is glorious.
