As some may have noticed from my JBF avatar, I'm a big fan of the 3rd version of Mecha-Godzilla (Kiryu).  I've been waiting for X-Plus to come out with figure of this Toho film mecha:

Sadly, budget and display space prevent me from getting it (and being X-Plus, it will be out of production on the day of release). I'll just have to wait for the smaller size version (hopefully with the add-on weapon parts). 

EDIT:  Apparently there will be online order only version of the Heavy Weapons type of MG 3:

Also, both are poly-resin kits, not the usual vinyl figures that X-Plus produces (which makes me feel a little better about not picking it up)

New Cyclops all-in-one figure.  My LCS ran out of the Tokidoki keychains, though.  Bummer.

I have been collecting these for a while. I did not get them when they first came out.  But, I think that the collection is almost complete.  I just got the Hawkeye today.  He seemed to be the most elusive and the most expensive, when I did happen see one once in a while.  But, today, I found him in the package for a mere $5.50 at a local flea market type of place.  Not everyone's cup of tea but I do enjoy these guys.

Aside from the gloss and the base, it looks just like the Cap they came
out with a few years ago.

Yeah, that is Randy giving in to fan demand for the gloss look over at Statue Marvels while getting an "Avengers" statue out for the movie. Of course, this Cap fanatic will buy one, even with the small differences!

Gorn, but not forgotten…

Something like two years ago, it seems I ordered this statue. Pretty much forgot about it. Even received an email from Amazon saying the seller was "unable to fulfill" the order.

Arrived today.

Why does Iron Man need a bubble over his helmet?
