Figma (Non-Toku) Discussion

He is nice, but the stupid price makes him worthless to me. It isn't like he's some niche character who has only, and is only, ever gonna get made by Figma. There are lots of other options which are just as worthwhile and not painful.

If you want some cannon fodder for Samus, might I suggest the Lego Space Swarmer? I forget the name of the enemy, but the set looks really close to one of the Metroid enemies.

I don't think that will work for what I want. Thanks nonetheless.

Blame the licensing. Even the Figuarts version was pricier than most.

Yeah, and that one was, as someone pointed out to me, the Mark 6 version. But, at least we get the Stark head with this one. Kinda akin to the Marvel Select one.

Or if you're a real sucker for punishment, the Full Spec Version will be up soon for 8800 yen (plus a flat rate 2000 yen shipping fee).

Man...that sucks. Now I'm scared for Cap.

Looks like Mako's getting a Figma...

Just as well my girlfriend is going halves on Kill la Kill figures with me, because going all out is going to ruin me. And I only have 2 (non-figma) figures preordered so far

As great of a figure as it's looking to be, I just can't get past the outfit...

Interesting that Mako would be getting made into a Figma. She is very popular though. The Guts in the one shot will probably come with her I imagine.

Man I can't wait to own these.
