They're amazing little technical marvels. Seriously, they didn't need to include other hands they are so well-done(but they did).

The only, only nitpick I have is that I wish they'd sculpted a more emotive expression on his alternative head with the removable face plate.

But based on this figure I am seriously considering getting Barnaby and AkibaRed when they come out.

it's funny, Hot Toys does the same thing with Iron Man figures.

But I'm really glad that it seems on par with Hot Toys (for the price they're charging, it dang well better be).

Actually managed to contain myself at Setsucon this year and only bought a bookmark (because it has all of the Pokemon fire starters and it's adorable :3) and a Pokeball. Got a Turtwig in it, but wish it were a Chimchar... Almost bought a Hydreigon evolution set, but held back.

I did manage to convince a friend to buy both master grade model kits for Tiger and Bunny though heh.

And FoC Ultra Magnus and Starscream arrived from Amazon today. ^_^

SO, a couple weeks ago I received an unexpected bonus from work. Decided to treat myself to something I'd always wanted & regretted not completing before:

The Dragon Knight line.

But that's not the whole story. See, I found a listing on Mandarake which listed the complete team & I was in such a hurry that I hadn't read the page in its entirety.

Turns out when Mandarake says "Complete," they fucking mean COMPLETE.

Super jealous! how much was the complete set of Mirror monsters?

Blade Raider · 01-28-2013, 01:16 PM
