I get paid on Friday. If the deal is still on, then i just might pick him up to pair with Scarlet Witch (which has yet to ship)

If I order from Japan, I got to pay importduties, which is a significant sum. Might be different for your country, but I thought I'd mention it.

Anyone importing to the UK is hit with a 30% import free.
Product + Shipping + Import free

Sounds like the same as it's here. I thought maybe Brexit could have made a difference for you (I'm assuming you're in the UK), but apparantly it hasn't.

I am located in the UK
Prior to Brexit, Europe to UK there was no fee. There was a fee from outside of Europe (the US etc)
Now there is also a fee from Europe. I voted to remain. Sadly the small minded people of the UK won the day, and look what is happening now. All sorts of issues with Importing, Travel etc.

To add to my previous post. There is no import fee's into the UK on items costing £130.00 ($156.00 USD) or less
There is usually a handling charge, which can be around £10.00 ($12.00 USD) which can be annoying if an item cost £5 for example.

The newest addition to my collection. Triad Toys Otaku 1.2 Female from the late Chung Kim (DeltaForceChung) vast amazing collection!

Hosted on Fotki
She arrived yesterday from eBay seller littlemarz (Bruce Zalkin) in Myakka City, Florida.

Many of us old timers who are familiar with older Triad Toys Otaku Female figures will know how absolutely fragile
this figure is. She can and probably will disintegrate just taking her out of her packaging.

So she will remain MIP as long as own her and hopefully she will never end up under some little girls Christmas tree.

I know most people will just consider her another old archaic figure.
But I think she is a beautiful figure and a small piece of DCF's legacy.

Hosted on Fotki
And now she will be proudly displayed with my other Otaku Female figures.

Nice one! apart from their fragile bodies, they had great faces! and mine are still going strong.

Blackops Toys is having a Mint in Box sale, and they've got some nice figures available for cheap. I ordered this one yester for $210 plus shipping. That turned out to be cheaper than the Chinese resellers on ebay.



This guy will be my first non fantasy/historical figure, looking forward to it.

That looks very cool..
I just checked out the Blackops Toys website. Much good stuff they have on there.

Ooooh, they have Melva The Halloween Killer for $111.00.  I may have to bust out the credit card.  Thanks for the heads up! Oh, found out it's selling for under $100.00 on a few other sites...

Most recently I got TBLeague's T04A, the black Spartan Warrior and a few goodies, most notably the first of a series of bodysuits.

Sadly the green is more saturated than it was on the photo, so it'll serve as a trial I guess, while I wait for the additional colors to arrive. There are plenty of colors available, and the quality is really good. Not a single seam broke, and that's saying something as not a single one of those VSToys suits have survived the first dress up undamaged. And I tried this one on the S47B, which was... a stretch.

I would recommend buying them off aliexpress though, since none of the Ebay sellers seem to have them in stock, and aliexpress is much cheaper, too. I'll try them for the army green version that will replace this one.





Music stuff!





The brown boots have a peg. That wasn't mentioned in the description. Too bad. They weren't cheap and they do look great.



I really like these. They are too tight for the S47, and they will sit too loosely on the smaller pegs of the smaller bodies without additional padding. But the tall slim bodies should fit.



Hands. Female fists and beautiful open hands. Awesome. They are a good fit. Just need a paint job to match TBLeague colors.

@Diana neat collection of 1/6 parts. The guitars look great!
..the boots look very good.

I just couldn't resist getting this. By far the most expensive figure I got. I'm always budget minded with my purchases, how many items come with it, what's the value, not this time.

Oh she looks magnificent! One of those purchases I'd have made (budget allowing) just because she's awesome! I hope you're aware of the light up lasso diorama thread.

Great pick ups Diana! Those long boots are incredible! Really looking forward to seeing what these items will go towards

Nice acquisitions.

That’s been a hard one for me to resist, in large part because I think it’s by far  the most attractive Gal Gadot head sculpt out there

I need at least one pair of these. This style and type of boot (fabric vs plastic, buckles, real laces) is a lot harder to find that one would expect.

Indeed. Waaaay too much stiff plastic out there.

Did you get those from ebay? I think I had them in my basket until they sold out. Looks nice

She looks a bit cross-eyed on the pic, not in person. What I love is the hair, it is made to be a bit more tacky than others I've seen. It looks great.
The figure seems to be almost 1/5, the hands seem huge compared to all others.

Finally got this thing assembled. As this was the first modern day figure I've bought, I wasn't expecting so much assembly without any instructions or diagrams at all, lol. Can't say I enjoyed putting on all the pouches too much, but I'm please with the figure overall.

Welcome to the world of modern military figures... lots of bits and pieces and no instructions.

Yeah, they certainly don’t make those easy. Looks good though.

gooboo, that's one impressive figure! I had one single military figure, Pisces Nana, and I never touched most of the bits, and she as the first figure I sold. Never doing it again.

Bought the above recently, it's part of the space battle cruiser from Gundam Seed series, it's the catapult part of the hangar.

Not familiar with the show or the ship (other than knowing about it), but that’s a pretty cool item. What’s your plan for it?

very cool!

If megahouse doesn't completely release the ship.... probably look for the schematics somewhere and 3D print out the rest of parts.

That's a pretty cool looking character, it would be neat if you could take some outdoor pics of him, he's pretty realistic, it would be interesting to see him in a nature setting.
*edit:  Wow, ended up in the wrong spot for this post.  This was supposed to be a comment on gooboo's post on his new Soldier from Blackop's Toys sale.  My mind is kinda off lately.  Apologies.

I can't believe Hot Toys is cheaping out on us on a close to €400 deluxe figure.

Upon further inspecting the WW84's stand, there is a hidden battery compartment, that is glued shut, and two slots for LED lights on the edges of the stand that can pivot, and a clear marking where the cut out should be for a switch.

This stand was supposed to light up! And all they needed to add for that to work is two LEDs, some wiring and a switch. At a total material cost of about €1. Yet they still decided to not include the electronics in the stand.

I'm really disappointed.

Nothing surprises me with them anymore.

These all came today:

(Base bodies with head sculpts only from Black Ops Toys):

Ron came with one pair of attached hands and shoes/feet, that's it:




Xensations The Smuggler (just the body & head):



DAMToys PLA Jialong(?) Operation Red Sea (just the body with feet, and head -- no hands). I'll have to add real hair:



From eBay:

Kurt Russell head sculpt from Hateful 8:



And these two horses that are going to represent the same animal (to the horse collectors: Is there a way to straighten the hair on the Thoroughbred?)
