Always loved the Gwenom design, and Amazing Yamaguchi won me over with Agent Venom, so maybe I'll just buy their symbiote stuff. Except that original Venom. You successfully warned me off that. That Deity of Conflict figure looks cool... but man, I just can't go back to the Greek era Kratos stuff after the Norse games. That's when the franchise really grew up and came into its own in my eyes.
The chances of anyone still having that extra TMNT sewer layer still in the box just sitting there waiting for whatever to happen 2 months later is zero. US law states that if a company sends you something without you ordering it, you can keep it and they can't charge you for it. Companies were doing that, that is why the law is in place to protect the consumer from fraudulent shipments/charges. This whole "please do the right thing or else" is disgusting, not to mention the one they sent after where they're guilt tripping you with BS about how other collectors won't get theirs because you didn't ship it back... like that is anyone's fault other than NECA themselves. NECA: "We made a big mistake and it's all your fault."
Thank you for covering the NECA thing. The threats are so dumb. And NECA really expected customers to act like storage for them for all this time? Pffft.
You might call me childish but I'll be honest: if someone asks me to help with something I'm inclined to help but if they come with 'or else' I then turn 180 and go with 'oh really? Come at me then!' I'd NEVER return that Neca display exclusively because of the 'or else' part.
also CT is mostly bootlegging ones that aren't even in stock anymore, if I bought the official brown suit Wolverine I would be supporting some scalper on ebay, not mafex
@@suhtangwongim not a fan of the prices but its not a scam. People need to understand these import figures. So that marks up the price a lot. For the base price they have to factor in licensing fees and they’re the ones actually having to make the figure. CT toys basically just copies the figure. Of course there’s are cheaper. I’m not saying dont but ct toys. What I am saying without mafex those other figures wouldnt exist.
@@ponpoon5415There is also the fact that Japanese economy is basically crap so like it or not, they don't really have a choice. CT Toys on the other hand is located in China which economy wise is higher than Japan currently.
Too bad I already bought the Super7 Jack Skellington. Granted, at least it was on sale, but still... And I had NO IDEA there was a 1/12 scale classic-style Kratos out there! Alas, I already have the old NECA version, but VERY tempted to get one in a better scale.
Dafne KEEN is the actress who played X23 (and boy, howdy, did she grow up fine as heck!).... I'm not paying Hot Toys prices for anything, though. She looks good... I'm eyeing that Gwenpool!!
That Kratos is the one, I’ve wanted since forever. The recent God of War games have been okay, but for me my favorite version of Kratos was when he was literally hate f$$king the world.
u mean glasses? if so yea that would be cool but usually their glasses aren't foldable and I don't believe she ever wore them like in the movies so wouldn't put your hopes up. But we'll see.
The Neca thing is a bit deeper cause they're are numerous people who have had orders of different products unshipped and missing, some for preorders but some for in-stock items as well. Decent amount of these are months and months behind, and it seems NECA is all but ignoring customers following up and inquiring, I guess NECA is known for poor customer service but seems lately its been pretty non existent. All seems to stem from a recent system update they had but instead of transparency and proper communication with paying customers. It's just ignoring, then now they're going after other customers for their mistake while all the while still not servicing all the other outstanding orders 🤪😬
The thing about KOs in general is that they're copying figures that have been released a long time ago meaning people who wanted them already bought them so they're only selling to those of us who can't afford the original ones. Plus most collectors would rather have the original no matter what. That being said all the KOs so far were always kinda all over the place in the sense of there would be a KO of one figure here, another figure there and so on. But if there is an actual company copying from one single company we have the implication that people could see the original release and wait to get the KO later on and THAT'S where it gets complicated and what you said in the video could indeed happen if people stop buying the original to wait for the KO later on... I for one am all in favor of KOs. Some of my figures I wouldn't have if there weren't KOs out there but only because the original was too expensive and I couldn't afford it. But they were the ones 'all over the place' I mentioned above. Not sure if condone an actual company copying the work of another company and make this into a business model...
I keep thinking of your impressed sound from your top 100 ML video 😅it was so funny and I make that sound now when something is impressive 😅keep it up you the hardest working guy around
Haha, I’m glad that sound has caught on! 😄 Funny thing is that's actually a sound my buddy makes and we kinda rib him for it so now i'll be sure to tell him that it's spreading throughout the world! :)
I'll still buy Mafex but I might get a CT or two for doubles for other displays or if I missed out on a Mafex. Like the new Comic Captain I passed on because he looked small and pasty white. Then turns out he is better after they released him. Now I can't get him unless I want to pay waaaaaay more. So hope CT makes it.
TBH in comparison to how much the average HT has been going for these past few years, X-23 is actually is pretty "cheap". $265 usd per Sideshow. Again with taxes and VAT (if applicable) probably closer to 290 - 300 usd total. Again...thats a little less then what HT's on avg are going for total wise 😌Jinx on the other hand 275 usd per Sideshow. But she has more accessories and those weapons. Muah. Love em. I dub them then Void Warriors or the Legacy Initiative😁@ Gambit, Blade etc. I agree @ Mezco. Face sculpts are hit and miss especially if they are based on live action actors playing characters. Their Crow is good imo. Ragnarock Thor, Black Panther, Hellboy, and John B. Punisher not bad. They are better with creating their own intrepations from comics and shows facewise imo i.e. aquaman, john stewart, constantine etc. Thanks so much again for the vid! Keep doing what you are doing!
There is no logic in defending MAFEX when they are now charging >$90 for a figure while still offering barebones accessories, questionable QC and sloppy paintlines.
Yeah I want to read the predator versus Black panther it's still on this RUclips it's a one in four I love the predator versus wolverine because they kill
Regarding the CT/Mafex portion: either Mafex will sell me a brown and yellow Wolverine or someone else will. I don't care who it comes from as long as the quality is good and the price is reasonable. If Mafex wants to to curb the KO market then they need to re-release these figures they've locked up and forgotten about.
Brown-suit Wolverine is pretty much the only thing I want from Mafex now that I got their comic!Bane. Well, a Knightfall Batman reissued in black and grey would be nice.
Mafex was definitely planning to give us these guys again but you gotta remember it’s a collection thing some figures are meant to be hard to get for a few years that’s what makes it a “Grail” but with ct a lot of grails are gonna lose their special privileges
Not me because predator only attacks people that kill Spider-Man doesn't kill it doesn't make sense it should have been predator versus punisher predator versus Ghost Rider
In lore predators only attack ‘Worthy’ opponents. It doesn’t matter whether they’ve actually killed before or not. They just need to have the ability to.
Can someone help me out here. I'm trying to understand the righteous indignation about a customer mistakenly receiving an extra product and then the company asking the customer to return it. I mean the people who did receive them did know it was a mistake. I don't hear a lot of talk about the dishonesty of people trying to assume the extra was a "gift". Regardless if the company is including a statement about restricting the potential to make future purchases, it still not right on the customer who thinks they can keep the product. Not exactly "displaying model behavior". Just trying to be the adult in the room
Oh there’s absolutely no righteous indignation about being asked to send the product back. There’s nothing wrong with that at all. I even said in the video that NECA have been nothing but fair with what they’re asking up to that point. It’s only when they included a threat of what might happen if the customer doesn’t that it becomes a problematic issue. Especially when you couple this with NECA’s previous track record with regards to customer service.
I love the Predators… But, regular folks kill them with rocks and sticks… Dutch fought one hand to hand, even thought he lost, he caused one some pain. The Predator isn’t in the same tier as these Marvel heroes. Wolverine would’ve DESTROYED a predator, maybe even a tribe of them… SPIDERMAN would absolutely wreck a predator. Speed, Strength, Agility, Spider-Sense… and he has fought Kraven how many times? Kraven could take a Predator… Predators are out of their league and it seems these stories are portraying the Marvel characters as struggling… ugh
*I was bragging my ass to how much I love Jinx and telling my brother "no matter the cost I would buy her sweet ass off anytime" and then 30 minutes later I saw this video...the rest is history. I don't even know where to get HotToys shipped globally.* 😅 😢 😅
That Hot Toys Jinx looks spectacular
She really does
That kingdom come Superman behind you is amazing
Always loved the Gwenom design, and Amazing Yamaguchi won me over with Agent Venom, so maybe I'll just buy their symbiote stuff. Except that original Venom. You successfully warned me off that.
That Deity of Conflict figure looks cool... but man, I just can't go back to the Greek era Kratos stuff after the Norse games. That's when the franchise really grew up and came into its own in my eyes.
I love CT toys. I haven't had any issues. With any of their products
I bought the CT Toys brown suit Wolverine. It's amazing.
OR Mafex can bring down their prices!🤔🤷♂️
LOVE YA, Dave!! Thanks for brightening this world and Displaying Model Behaviour 🖤

The team name for Deadpool & Wolverine's Squad is "The leftovers" cuz thats literally what they are lol.

Moment I heard Black Panther VS Predator I just knew the Predator was getting the Skrull treatment
Then Mafex needs to sell figures for cheaper lol CT toys would’ve never bootlegged if mafex was selling for high ass prices
Preach!
Mafex is a scam 🤦🏿♂️
also CT is mostly bootlegging ones that aren't even in stock anymore, if I bought the official brown suit Wolverine I would be supporting some scalper on ebay, not mafex

Team Name for the Deadpool and Wolverine cast:
The Avoiders
Sorry not sorry, but CT has my support.
Dafne KEEN is the actress who played X23 (and boy, howdy, did she grow up fine as heck!).... I'm not paying Hot Toys prices for anything, though. She looks good...
I'm eyeing that Gwenpool!!
That Kratos is the one, I’ve wanted since forever. The recent God of War games have been okay, but for me my favorite version of Kratos was when he was literally hate f$$king the world.
i wish he was a bit better scaled to his 7 ft design. this looks like a combination of both og kratos and the gow4 kratos
I think Neca also threatened to charge the people who didn’t send their Donny lairs back to charge them for the lair they didn’t send back
That would be crazy if that’s the case as that’s literally illegally for a company to do.
lol the team name would be the AVOIDERS lmfao
For X-23, i was thinking if the goggles are foldable then we can tuck them in the neck hole of that grey T-shirt and have here clawed out pose
u mean glasses? if so yea that would be cool but usually their glasses aren't foldable and I don't believe she ever wore them like in the movies so wouldn't put your hopes up. But we'll see.
If CT TOYS can make their figures for 5x cheaper than mafex, then why are we paying mafex prices? 🤔
I still really want Punisher vs. Predator in the jungle!
That would be really fun to see

McFarlane is so happy about NECA taking the news away from that $250 Joker set hahah
Lol they changed the narrative
Hay Dave how are u today
I'll still buy Mafex but I might get a CT or two for doubles for other displays or if I missed out on a Mafex. Like the new Comic Captain I passed on because he looked small and pasty white. Then turns out he is better after they released him. Now I can't get him unless I want to pay waaaaaay more. So hope CT makes it.
Awesome
"Jake Skeleton and Shelly" look good, too, but I don't need any NECA products. LOL, Dave!
A-a-ron!
YOU DONE MESSED UP A-A-RON!

Maybe giving a nod to the X-Force we can call the Deadpool 3 team: X-Fox
The storm collectibles zangeifs molds are completely different

Yeah I want to read the predator versus Black panther it's still on this RUclips it's a one in four I love the predator versus wolverine because they kill
I sold my second Neca lab. They can’t do anything to me that will make me care.
How much did you sell it for?
That wasn’t even the last of neca. They threatened to charge them
I’m fascinated to see the evidence of this. I’ve not seen the charging threat. If it’s true that’s totally illegal for them to do.
20:28 Spider-Man: The Animated Series - Symbiote 1/6 Scale Figure - Limited Edition: $230
Oof the Mezco Wolverine Hugh Jackman likeness are bad
maybe you can buy the KO scarlet spider knockoff to fix your damaged one?
That’s not a bad idea as long as the reds match. Though sometimes the KO’s are slightly smaller than the originals so it might not work
Regarding the CT/Mafex portion: either Mafex will sell me a brown and yellow Wolverine or someone else will. I don't care who it comes from as long as the quality is good and the price is reasonable. If Mafex wants to to curb the KO market then they need to re-release these figures they've locked up and forgotten about.

When does Kratos fight an orc?🤔
I also am just like an elephant! Big nose and afraid of mice 🙁😃
lol mice ain’t too scary

she looks less janky and more in line with shf, i wonder if they are toning down for western audience
I love the Predators…
But, regular folks kill them with rocks and sticks… Dutch fought one hand to hand, even thought he lost, he caused one some pain.
The Predator isn’t in the same tier as these Marvel heroes. Wolverine would’ve DESTROYED a predator, maybe even a tribe of them…
SPIDERMAN would absolutely wreck a predator.
Speed, Strength, Agility, Spider-Sense… and he has fought Kraven how many times? Kraven could take a Predator…
Predators are out of their league and it seems these stories are portraying the Marvel characters as struggling… ugh
Powerscalling aside (those yautja were middle tier warriors) Kraven vs a yautja would unironically be an incredible read.
@ yes, PREDATOR vs KRAVEN THE HUNTER would be awesome…
Boo hoo ct toys on top for now
Ben Reilly is a furry! bwahahahahaha
Haha! Lol hey no kink shaming here! :)
They really should have just made Godzilla grimlock rather than megatron
Mafex is severely over priced, definitely not shfiguarts quality
*I was bragging my ass to how much I love Jinx and telling my brother "no matter the cost I would buy her sweet ass off anytime" and then 30 minutes later I saw this video...the rest is history. I don't even know where to get HotToys shipped globally.* 😅 😢 😅
