NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENTS - APPEAL TO MEMBERS

Greetings all,

One of the most popular aspects of this forum has always been the posting of new product announcements, accompanied by more complete sets of larger and clearer photos than are usually found in the listings by most retailers. This task was long carried virtually single-handedly and uncomplainingly by Mark (Stryker2012), and more recently also by Diana and myself, with occasional but public-spirited contributions by several other members. However, due to an unfortunate conjunction of aggravated circumstances, all of us active moderators are lately unable to cope well with this task. We have certainly not given up on it, but would like to invite other forum members to post new product announcements themselves (some have already started to do so from time to time, for which we are most grateful). Additionally, if any member(s) is (are) willing to volunteering to serve as additional moderator(s) especially for this task, that would be most welcome. 

Some things to bear in mind:

• To avoid double-posting new product announcements, please review the most recent page or two of posts. Or search the forum -- Google search works better than the native search function; for example, putting in onesixthfigures.forumotion.com hot toys grand inquisitor in Google results in a precise match.
  
• Typical announcements (you can see what has been posted) should include an informative title (NEW PRODUCT, official product name and number, and maker), and then in the body of the message the details, followed by the images.
  
• The very limited selection of relatively small photos posted by most retailers are generally insufficient for our purposes. Larger and clearer photos and more complete sets of photos are found in a few places, most notably onesixthkit.com and toypanic.com , and for those for whom it works, bbicn.com .
  
• Ideally, photos work best if uploaded onto servimg.com , to ensure they continued accurate display in forum postings. However, beggars can't be choosers, and servimg.com accounts can accommodate only so many images, so a second-best solution is to post some photos through servimg.com (I have been doing three per product) and the rest using "copy image link" from the source website and then pasting that in the "insert image" button here. Just in case, it might be useful to provide a link to the source of the images. Note that images posted using "copy image link" from an external website (as opposed to copying the "direct link" from servimg.com ) might sometimes go through periods of not displaying on forum pages (although in such cases they do seem to work again later on).

I hope some of you would be willing to help out, and assure you of an abundance of karma points in 1:1 real life for such selfless service.

I'll try to help post when I can, (as long as there's no looming work deadline ).

Thank, you Craig, that is awesome!

I will try to assist when possible — hopefully more frequently once I get a new laptop.

Me too.

Thank you guys, that is great!

Will also post some stuff when I happen to see it. But I admit, it will pnly be stuff that is somewhat interesting for me personally.
And my cale dar is fuller than ever next few weeks.

But iam very happy so many will join in and support the mods and this great site.
Thanks stryker, diana and Ian!

Haha, same, Valiarde — no offense but I will not be posting the ‘random sexy lady’ stuff that is so common in this hobby. But I’ll be keeping my eye out for interesting new releases and will check here to see if anyone posted yet.

I can try posting stuff as well. Though, like Valiarde, it'll probably only be stuff I'm personally interested/invested in. I did notice lately that there's been a delay in posting these threads for new figures, so I'm definitely willing to help out when I can.

Did you see the teaser for Darth Revan that Hot Toys posted? Probably the most wished for Star Wars figure...gonna order him the second he's up.

Spoiler:

They do seem to be teasing some new stuff.

Thanks again, guys.

Thank you so much for helping out! I moved two weeks ago and haven't found a rhythm yet, while having a lot to do at the new place. I'll be back asap!

Great idea. I’ll have to practice how to get things right.

Maybe we should make this post a sticky?
