Nice! Super jealous of your suited Samus! Thank you, I love her too I recommend picking up the World of Nintendo Metroid to go with it. Finding a Figma Samus for a decent price sucks.

I do kinda like the new paint job, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to justify buying him. Ditto, and the prices aren't even that bad this year. People are regularly acquiring him for between 120-140. Considering that it's $70 retail and they had to wait in line 2+ hours for it, that doesn't seem that bad. Especially since SDCC Goku was bumped to a similar price last year and he was not only more widely available to purchase ( no ticket system ) but he was also a $40 figure. I find it amusing that there is a post in buy/sell complaining about Brolys SDCC price while also offering Goku at 150 firm.

I got all my AoT figures today. Man... they sure do have a lot of option parts. It's pretty great. Reminds me of all the old Evangelion figures. They always came with an inordinate amount of extra accessories too. So awesome.

Surprised this didn't get noted. I know at least ◄VR► is into the WWE figures! I did actually post these in this thread when they were shown at a con a while back. I don't know if I'll get them, since they'll be too small for my WWE collection, but they're cool. And only 5 posts above mine as well! Good work me! Well these are the official pictures on their site now.

IIRC, at SDCC 2015, Tamashii Nations had Jaco, Beerus, and Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta displayed and neither of them were officially announced. (Jaco never given one.) So it is possible for us to see prototypes that have been shown at prior conventions like Super Saiyan 4 Goku. (I believe Super Saiyan 4 Goku traveled with Tamashii Nations to Mexico for an event a few months back.) Nappa, if proven to be the rumored "BIG" character release for 2017, will be saved for Tamashii Nations 2016 in October. Is Nappa really a rumor for 2017? A large figure is rumored for 2017, not specifically Nappa, but there are only so many 'Large' characters, and Nappa has been shown previously. Conclusions are being jumped to.

I guess I'll throw in the quality and alternatives argument. When looking at a custom figure, the comparison will be done to the rest of the 'line' that it's most similar to. For example, a custom Nappa Figuart scale will be looked at in comparison to Scouter Vegeta. Figuarts have a price point already, out of print, as well as in print range from $40-200 for most releases, with a handful pushing upwards past that.
For a figure that doesn't exist in the line at all, that comes at a premium, but it's still the same scale and that kind of quality is expected in a custom, so it doesn't show as completely out of place.
I understand that it takes a individual an inordinate amount of time to create the customs, however when looking at a custom, if it's going to command 2-3x the highest cost figures in a line that it is meant to be similar to, I would expect it to look just as good if not better than what a mass produced version would be expected to look like.
In the end though, art is art. Unless you make a name for yourself, pricing something extremely high due to time invested isn't going to work out unless it's something truly exceptional. For a lot of customs, the quality is a lot less polished than the comparative line. Still great customs, but personally, that doesn't command nearly the same premium.
Sorry for the organization of this post, a lot of it is simply stream of consciousness.

If anyone else was looking to source them, unfortunately it appears that currently the going rate of $25 is being set. eBay was where I just gave up and grabbed them as a set for just over $125 shipped.

I don't like being on here now because of the ridiculous lag caused by some of the Flash ads. Just several minutes ago, I was trying to post a thread in the BST section to ask if anyone had a bootleg DOD SSj Goku that they would be willing to get rid of. I gave up because the lag was infuriating. My post "seri ouslyl ookedli kethi s". I'm not spending $6/mo to get rid of the ads. I'd rather post on FB where there are no ads that make the site lag. Annddd... it just happened again. Sorry, I'm sticking to FB. You might look into using some sort of browser add-on to block the ads. I remember several of the members said they used something of that nature. I don't know what they are called, but I know Firefox allows add-ons of stuff like that. U Block Origin and AdBlock Plus are the front runners.

Now I'm trying to source these. I've been waiting on this set for months! Thanks Richie for the video. Definitely going to grab them.
Looks like they are going for about $25 each, 125 for the set.
