Looks amazing... ...but for the d*** move extraordinaire of making STINGRAY (of all things!) a subscription-exclusive gift. Normally a flagship vehicle from one of the shows would be a regular issue - something large like Cloudbase or obscure-but-cool like a WASP interceptor? Now those'd make for good exclusives, but not something as iconic and must-have as Stingray.
Depends on the quality - ended up passing on the Star Trek stuff, simply because there's equal/better stuff out there. For the Anderson vehicles, there's a lot that doesn't get made (some of the lesser-known things like background Helijets and the Spectrum MSV aren't that well-represented in model form), but then there's stuff like the Takara and Aoshima TB models, which are insane (and insanely expensive!). Might just start harvesting organs until I can get the swanky toys - in the long run, it's a better use of my limited display space.

Mechani-Kong statue from the Toho / Rankin Bass movie KING KONG ESCAPES: 
[Collection DX] Gives me hope that Tamashi Nations may some day come out with a S.H. MonsterArts posable figure of this...

It appears we're getting a Shunya Yamashita DC Bishoujo of Starfire in the coming year:

That base is way too Freudian.
They need to ditch the irises as well.

One thing about that Bishoujo Starfire, based on the other figures in the line, is that she will at least be CUTE, and not just salacious.

Saw this at Toys R Us, passed on it due to the price. I just can not pay 36.00 for 2 action figures, no matter how cool I think it is. Also due to the articulation it made Batman's arms look wonky and his belt is too big and high on the torso .

Odd that with toys being such a big business, no one has figured out a way to make figures articulated without looking like some grotesque, bolted-together Frankenstein's monster.

They did the same thing with the Pop version as well... Dag nabbit!

Given the multiple versions of Batman I already have, I'm not too concerned about "doubling up" on the Wacky Wobbler!
Plus, remember how many Futuras/Batmobiles I've accumulated! 
(And I've added a couple since that picture was taken!)
