Seems clear to me they went with Byrne art as their reference as both masked heads and the unmasked head match his art pretty well, and that makes sense given that Byrne introduced the brown costume. The grinning head is particularly all Byrne. Not a fan of Byrne? I've always found him to be...

Yeah, I got the "about to ship" in three months email too. I'm picturing them leaving now, but they're using a new shipping technology:

Just to be clear Gambit may be Medicom's best figure in the Mafex line. I usually don't like most soft goods, but that jacket is spectacular and is like a second figure you get to pose along with Gambit himself. If you didn't get the first then definitely grab this one. Speaking of which I've...

I have the original and don't like this one more. Not sure which I prefer, but this one looks totally skippable.

On HLJ the title is worded as "comic variant version" with this description: Maybe it's colored closer to the way his outfit was in his first appearance from the comic cover below? I'm not entirely sure yet what the source is because the pants aren't colored the same as the cover below, but...

I knew it was going to be tough for them to do him, and yep, it looks about as odd as John Cena himself does. This might be one that looks better in hand than in promos, so I'm reserving judgment until release. Certainly the shading around the eyes looks far too heavy in the promos, but I've...

Depends on where you live. I live in a highly urban area with house lots divided into fractions of an acre, and I get misdeliveries about 3 to 10 times per year across all carriers. I'm guessing you're either suburban or rural, and delivery is easier there and the GPS can identify your house...

That's an amazing story so thanks for sharing it! They really told you this on the phone? When I've heard people relate GPS dropoff stories in the past the USPS always demanded that you could only get GPS information in-person at the main post office for your zip code. Did you call the...

It wasn't new info, but it did address a perspective I actually rarely hear people voice--and that's probably because I don't read Reddit much anymore and most people here are already aware of his point. His simple point is you can't compare the base, the comic, and the added paint apps that...

Reconned in is what I remember. I have all of his appearances and read them back in the 1980s, and I remember it being mentioned years after he first fought Hulk or joined the X-Men. I couldn't remember when, but searching on it suggests the page below from X-Men #116 is the first time they...

I have several of those, and they're the ones I mentioned are difficult to counterbalance the figure's weight against the base. I mostly use them for the larger 1:12 figures like Hulk. They mostly tip over for flight poses on sixth scale figures unless you get the angle just right, and even...

I watched his review and he shows her on an articulated stand at the 10:43 mark. He says it's a Play Arts Kai stand but provides no other info nor a link in the review comments. I searched around for that but haven't found it yet so if anyone knows how to get the stand he's referring to please...

I just added one to a cart and saw the option at checkout. They bury it towards the bottom of the checkout screen and I overlook it a lot.

Seems like his arms and legs are thicker too, and that's an added bonus. Still disappointed with the lack of articulation improvement, but I can't pass up the biggest 1:12 Juggernaut yet.

Still can't believe I haven't seen a review compare the new Juggernaut to the Select Juggernaut yet. 🤔

They're not articulated enough nor do they hold poses long enough for me to buy most of them. The only two I own are Magneto and Cyclops because both characters mostly just stand there. I wanted Rogue, but until someone makes a sturdy enough stand to put sixth scale figures into a variety of...

There aren't any Japanese retailers who ship enough to the US who do this are there? The only company I'm sure does this is AliExpress from China to the US.

I mentioned this a few pages back--AliExpress usually isn't subject to de minimis because they bundle individual shipments together and transport them in shipping containers, so they are riding on the highly efficient tariff infrastructure that overseas manufacturers also use.

There's a surprising truth of misdelivery that FedEx, UPS, and the USPS all share--they know EXACTLY when and where their carriers misdeliver packages because they all require the carriers to carry devices that have GPS trackers on them. The problem is that once the mistake has been made the...

Their shipping prices include "taxes"? That sounds like they're either avoiding your question or never understood it to begin with. That doesn't inspire confidence. That sounds like they're leaving the tariff situation to the shipper and that the shipper will end up collecting it from you at...

There are plenty of legimate reasons to be concerned about China as well as a ton of illegitimate ones. Not scared, but EXTREMELY concerned. Having said that they have a ton of redeeming qualities and have long served as a positive force in the world in many ways. With respect to tariffs yes...

Nin-nin-game has just tonight resumed shipping with the duties calculated and shown at checkout, and when I test items the shipping is so far much cheaper than HLJ as long as you buy at least 2 to 3 items. Examples: One item at ¥9,890 = ¥7,705 shipping Two items at ¥22,780 = ¥11,689 shipping...

I think so, but I do not know. Shipping from Japan is a complete mystery on this new world until people start throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
