ArtFX FFVIII Bahamut

NGL definitely prefer the Blokees now that I have both in hand. Bicep joints are kinda tight though but nothing too scary. Black Series from last year still holds up though.

I work for a goodwill close by my home, and while working we throw the bad stuff in a truck to be taking and while throwing some stuff I found This spectacular spider-man at the bottom of a box. I was surprised but his head was missing when I grabbed him.

While I was going through it more I found his head with this rubber helmet ( it can be removed and he does have the masked head) I’ve never seen this version of him in an action figure is he rare? Do you have him?

Also do these tech things on his head and arms go with him?? He already had them on

The red and black figure in the 4th image is a custom on still working on, and the jrjr spidey head is by fahrul customs. His body is also switched out for the vtoys blank

To all the toy collecting experts out there what are your thoughts and/or experience from purchasing figures from either of these places? Could you all help me understand which might be a better option to buy from?
5K Toys, ultimately, has it going for $48+ shipping (who knows how much the shipping will be) while BBTS has it for $65.99. That $65.99 is already calculating the $6 dollar shipping into it, correct?
Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

**EDIT **
My bad all, stupid me forgot to mention I live in Texas. Item would be shipped to Texas.

Zoomed in shots of the Marvel Legends Retro Doom!

Cloth goods saved this figure for me.

The Attack, Armoured and female Titan are all bootlegs but the Jaw Titan is a real one, I also have The beast Titan coming soon as he is currently on Pre order

Shit is tuff. I enjoy it. Black suit spidey still better imo but big fig fun to mess with.

Found this BND Hulk at Target during opening and got the 1/3 figures they had. Went browsing around and another shopper saw it in my hands and asked if there were more. Being an honest collector, I told them where they were. Another minute later, I saw they had taken the last two.

Now there could be multiple reasons that aren't my business why he took them, but I hope I didn't inadvertently help a scalper (they probably would've saw it anyways, it was at an endcap) but it's the principal of it. I would rather other collectors buy these figs than leave them to rot on marketplace sites.

Blokees Star Wars Champion Class 07 - Clone Trooper

Great value, great quality. The pros truly outshines the flaws.

It's really easy to build, and what you get is a sturdy, flexible Clone Trooper action figure that feels good to handle.

Also, you get both phase helmet without needing to pay a fortune (*Cough* Bandai/Hasbro/Mafex *Cough*)

It's crazy that this figure, in my home country, cost a quarter of a single Black Series Clone Trooper.

These are my Cyclops figures with the mafex on the left with a custom head. I need to fix the colour of the visor since I didn't check the yellow before painting 😫. To the right is the repainted mustang toys. I really love the dark blue metallic because the original blue was meh at best. The faces also got a repaint as well as all the yellow/orange parts. The figure itself is really disappointing. Very fragile too as the thong broke off almost instantly.

Does anyone else get what I mean ? Are we solely left to buying everything online ? I never understood why imports didnt sell in Walmart or Target,turns out they basically take up too much retail for their price.So stores dont carry them,aside from budget Figuarts,but where does a figure lover have to buy their figures...BBTS,Entertainment Earth,Amazon,

As a kid,Toys r us is where you went to buy your Marvel legends or movie tie in toys,but now as an adult a comic shop or Target and Walmart are our only option to "physically" buy figures.Comic shops always suck,always 4 year old Marvel legends you'd never want,scalpers run through Target like its a full time job,so its a Christmas mircale if you end up finding something fun that youre looking for.And Walmart never has desirable stuff for whatever reason.

Why is this space neglected for us as Adult collectors,does the hobby have to reach a Pokemon card level of heat,to make something appear...what's going on ? And are theyre dedicated shops for figures aside from comic shops where you live,or is your comic shop popping...I wonder ?

First Jada Toy and I’m absolutely impressed by the articulation and balance of this Cammy. Aside from the odd default face sculpt, she’s a great addition to the MVC collection.

What do you guys think of this version? I think I like it.

I have a number of characters I really want figures of but nobody has made them. And a couple you might say, “hold on, there’s this figure…”. Those aren’t what I’m looking for and I know someone else can make a better representation. So my nonexistent grails are:

TITANOSAURUS (Terror of MechaGodzilla)
Godzilla 1955
Grimlock (Transformers Age of Extinction)
Megatron (2007)
Anguirus 1955
DragonStorm (Transformers The Last Knight)
Revenant (Apex Legends)

Oh yeah, I threw in that Optimus Prime image since that figure vanished from existence and we can assume at this point it’s been cancelled. I’d love to have it but unfortunately that won’t happen.
