right there with you. I still remember seeing this three pack in stores...  I was never able to get and have no interest in it now but I'm still itching for some proper OoT figures. I was cleaning out random boxes last week, and I found those figures! |

nice. pretty sure it's still a fairly valuable set.
...and judging by some completed listings it seems it goes for around $80 to $100. not bad.

What wonderful timing...last week I sold the few Black Collection figures I had thinking it would be better to wait and see how many Figuarts versions come out. Looks like I made the right decision.

Looks pretty good. Would be cool if the lightsaber actually glows like that last picture.

Definitely get rid of any character on this list, all of those are existing prototypes, pending on reveal: s29.postimg.org/jz6ud38hj/image.pngStill, Hasbro make a great selection of characters that i'm sure Tamashii would never even came close to. |

I'm fine with missing out on an entire cast of characters. and...I forgot about that list. already feeling good about selling what I had. I really liked the BS Maul figure but now I may be able to get an even better one.

What do you all think the "Sneaks" reference is to on this list? Skywalker and Solo in Stormtrooper disguise since they're listed below? |

Oh and did anyone get the Alien/Predator MonsterArts figures? I'm a big Alien/Predator fan and they're extremely well done!

What do you all think the "Sneaks" reference is to on this list? Skywalker and Solo in Stormtrooper disguise since they're listed below? Well it is reffering to the actuel diorama in the exibit, so it can either mean the one with Luke in his main white shirt outfite and Han Solo next to the falcon in New Hope, or another case in the exibit that we would have no way of knowing the content of. In any case there are not Stormtrooper disguise... Other then Vader, the Tropper,return of the jedi Luke, Han, and New Hope Luke Tamashii exibit those characters that haven't been revealed yet: Qui-Gon Jinn, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Scout Trooper with speeder. timone317 i'm still kepping my black collection, I don't mind the full cast thing, I collect the characters that I like for my group. What I mean is that they can be displayed together and Hasbro make a lot of minor characters that Tamashii would never make, and a different production of few releases opposed to many cheaper releases. (I love my 6" Greedo!) This line seem like it is coming with a very strong start and might be another successful Tamashii brand. Still I need to get rid of my black Han Solo! |

I have the three AVP figures and you're right M5, they are awesome. I'm glad we see eye-to-eye on that!  There isn't much difference between the Regular and Heavy Arms, the main difference is the Regular comes with the "Cleaner Kit" attachment (with syringe) for his back while the Heavy Arms doesn't. The Heavy Arms also has more weapons/accessories. The Heavy Arms comes with the dual plasmacasters, the plasmacaster pistols, the shurikens and also comes with the remote mines on his bandolier. If you remember the movie, essentially the Heavy Arms version is all the gear the Predator loads up on and shows off for the second half. Back onto Star Wars... I wish they will make the final Vader taller. The Figuarts version looks only slightly taller than the Stormtroopers while in the movies, Vader is known to be tall and actually stands about a head taller than most of the troopers.   |

I have a modest collection of MonsterArts, i'm a big fan of the Toho releases. Very exicted for the upcoming Gamera as well. Still missing a lot of them due for the exclusivity and price, many releases going out of stock and skyrocking (not as close do to what we see with db but still). Yeah I never considered picking up the heavy arms Predator since it's essentially the same figure with some extra pieces of plastic thrown in for double the price... I might pick up the original 1979 Alien sometime. Some sites like HLJ had him on stock on a huge sale several times. I'm very exicted to anything they gonna make for SW, and will probably buy at least any Figuarts release based on the trilogy. You will probably like this if you don't know it, Tamashii actually uses some of this guy work in their advertisements. |

That's awesome! Stop-motion I assume?
I'm a big fan of Alien/Predator and had a large collection of Hot Toys Alien and Predator stuff when they were heavy with them. I had since sold them and I'm glad I did because they started having a lot of rubber and joint issues. I'm tempted to get the Big Chap but I see reviews either way. I really hope they do the 1986 ALIENS Warrior as that's my favorite version. It's actually kind of funny how Tamashii did the AVP:Requiem Predator but did the Alien Warrior from AVP.
I'm definitely looking forward to Star Wars as well. I won't collect everything, but I'm psyched for Jedi Luke as that is my favorite version of the character. I hope they give him his gray vest and a Jedi cloak! That would be awesome. I'm sure we'll see an Emperor Palpatine too...

The Figuarts Darth Vader also comes with a bonus base background.
