Nendos are too expensive.

True but some of them are the only ones you will get of characters. Like bobobobobobo, shantae, etc. I only have like a dozen or so.

What im real excited about is this from bloodbourne to match my 1/6 Doll by Gecco. Or them releasing the hunter/main character from bloodbourne again figma. Especially for that messenger preorder bonus.

Damn that Amygdala is awesome. Is it going to be painted or is it just gonna be stone grey?

It will be painted but Gecco is mega slow on dark souls/bloodbourne stuff. They also have this they haven't made

I've been tempted by some of those Bloodborne bootleg Chinese figures since the real ones are out of my current price range.

I would watch comparison videos on them. Usually they have worst articulation. As long as it doesn't arrive broken you are usually good. The demon souls figma for example has no ab crunch whatsoever + leg articulation is hindered by plastic skirt.

With this in mind some of the joints might be stuck completely or make big squeek sounds. For stuck ones a hair dryer or warm water works great. That demon souls figma bootleg I had to put some silicon shock oil on his double jointed knees/arms.

Traxxas 1667 Silicone Shock Oil 30wt is what I use. A invaluable tool on my poseable figures as most always comes with a overly tight joint that squeeks or is stuck.

If the joints are too loose I use kiki https://www.ebay.com/itm/203088038461 just look up tutorials on it and go slow.

With that said getting these bootlegs is still worth it just for all the weapons you get. Allows you to use it on other figures etc.

Yeah, my buddy is a wicked toy guy (even has a Youtube channel) so he pretty much said all those same things.

Finally got my backordered Transformers Missing link C-01 Convoy from TFsource. Man this thing is amazing, the box art is gorgeously 1984. Love everything about this line.

Alexander even came with a pot kid npc.

And the details on the dolls face are surreal. She has slight dirt and blue veins on her forehead. Out of all my figures this one is probably the best at looking like it came to life from the game.

Kind of sad they haven't re-released this doll. Its going for like 1000+ when its msrp was like 350. Some weird licensing issue is what I hear. They've redone the hunter main character like three times. I hear they might re-release him again. It would be nice to have him standing next to the doll looking like a manlet (which is accurate).

Alexander coming with a Pot Kid is pretty dope, and sitting on those stone steps too. I didn't even know about that questline until my third playthrough. Might be my favorite questline in the entire game. Only enhanced by all the revelations from the DLC.

The Goblin Slayer Nendo comes with a goblin that he can step on. I love when they do that kind of stuff.

Ended up getting this off a guy on eBay for a decent price. It is indeed super cool. I want to get the others like Bumblebee and Sunstreaker but I don't know.

About the same for me too. It is way too easy in Elden ring to fuck up quest lines.

Ultra Magnus coming apparently
Missing link isn't just existing characters either, actual missing prototypes that never got released etc

Should be an interesting line
