Ghost Rider looks a lot better than I thought he was going to, though that body is still way too bulky. I feel a Microman head swap comin' on.
Wolverine looks nice, even if he ain't in proper scale... and Hulk? Well, he's just a little too small. I'll be displaying the ML Hulks with my SHS collection instead.
You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

Don't care about the Showdown figs, but I can't wait to pick me up a couple of those figure factory figs... [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img]
Showdown looks pretty cool to me!
I'll be definetly getting that FigFactory Thing!!! [img]cool.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think the only FF "figures" that'll be blind-boxed are the mystery figures. Definitely a smarter move by Toy Biz, 'cuz blind-boxing fucking blows. That shit works in Japan, but it won't work here, because honestly, most collectors don't give a shit about another collector trying to complete their collection.Originally posted by Peter Hoffman:
So the Figure Factory figs aren't going to be blind-boxed?
This board seems like an exception, but with hoarding and scalping so rampant, there are a lot of fucking low lifes to deal with. It was so much easier to collect 15 years ago when nobody gave a fuck about the "value" of toys. Soon as toys became "collectibles," all the wrong people began buying them up in an attempt to make a quick buck. Sucks.
The Showdown figures look like a lot of fun. I'll be buying them, but if go the early ML route of chase/HTF I'm dropping this line fast.
Figure Factory look like supped up Heroclix and I'll pass.
I'll likey grab a few of the figs, pass on the statues.
and WLN, I agree on the "toy vs collectible" thing, 110%. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Only Figure Factory figure I will pick up, is Green Goblin.
I am looking forward to the Showdown figures, but won't be buying them all.
Green Goblin?
there's a surprise. [img]wink.gif[/img]
are the SD figs 4" or what?
Great weekend for SHS fans.
Julius Marx just posted a preview of Captain America over at his site:

First real good look at Cap, since we've pretty much just had Toy Biz press photos up 'til this point. Not a huge fan of the head sculpt or the heavy black wash (and where's the A on Cap's mask?), but will still definitely pick him up. Planning an Ultimate Cap custom... got some BBI combat boots that'll work nicely.
Since this line is pretty much my wildest dream come true, I'm buying EVERYTHING. Every single figure. Fanboy reaction has been mixed, though they seem to be warming up after the out-of-package pics of real production samples have been released.
Still, if the line doesn't last long, I wanna make sure I have as many 4" Marvels as I can get... every day I get more and more psyched about Showdown. No doubt it'll be my line of the year.
