Super 7's NJPW Series 1 Figures - Hit or Miss?

So, after a decent delay, it looks like the first series of the NJPW figures produced by Super 7 are finally shipping. Images of course have been shown of the final product and pretty much across the board they have been met with a negative reaction. As you can see by this picture (thanks to Ringside Collectables) you can see they don't look too bad but, when you look at this picture of all the figures loose and without their respective entrance gear on, they don't look as impressive.

Many collectors are do keep them MOC so they may not have an issue but for the likes of myself that is a loose collector, hopefully, with keeping the entrance gear on they will be OK.

I think with a lot of people, and I agree, it's the price point of each figure (close to £50 GBP) that is making it worse for the collectors because for that type of price you expect an excellent product.

I paid a deposit on these back in December I believe and when I first saw the images, I put on social media that I wasn't sure whether to forfeit the deposit rather than fork out another £180, I am still undecided, but knowing me, I'll buy them.

In closing, what do you guys think, have you pre ordered them and if so, what are you thinking now? And if you haven't, and wanted to wait, what are you thinking at this point?

The March 6th RSC Reveals

Image
So, we were given the heads up there was going to be an announcement from Ringside Collectibles on 6/3, rumours/guesses were being thrown around on social media, we knew RSC were getting an Outsiders Ultimate Edition pack exclusive to them so initially I thought it had to be full images and pre order info for them. After talking to others, it was mentioned maybe it could be the next set of Defining Moments figures, either way, I thought it was one of these two sets. Come time for the reveal and, well, I was a bit letdown. What we got was a reveal of  more re-releases, yes, they may have updated articulation, pinless arms etc and some updated face scan technology but in essence, they are the same figures we have had before. Below are images of the 8 that are being re-released and exclusive to RSC I have all of the original releases of these figures, so I thought, after I got over the let down, I’d not be buying any of these, then I thought, damn, they are RSC exclusives, I have all ...

International collectors to lose out?

Image
There is still time, it may change but very shortly the Mattel Creations 'Coliseum Collections' Hart Foundation is due to go up for sale on the MC website, however, anyone outside the US, definitely here in the UK anyway, will not be able to order it. We haven't had an issue in the past but this was spotted by someone a few weeks ago and as of typing this, the statement which you can see below is still on their website. We all like to moan but I think international customers do get the short end of the stick. There's plenty of store exclusives that are stores that are only in the US so, if we want them have to pay over the odds to independent sellers as they have to get them imported in.  People buy from the likes of Ringside Collectibles directly and pay a premium on the shipping charges to do so when Mattel creations brought out their exclusives it was great that we could order direct from them for a shipping cost that was quite reasonable but now, well, we, as it sta...

Target (Argos in the UK) NXT Exclusives

Image
Welcome all, I hope you're all well. The grind continues, today I’ll be taking a look at the NXT series of figures that were exclusive to Target in the US but in the UK surprisngly they were available in Argos, it's a shame they didn't do that with other US exclusives because if they had of, we'd have saved a pretty penny over the years. So, the first series consisted of 4 figures, I own 2 of the 4, still want No Way Jose, passed on him so many times but wish I hadn't. The other one I don't have is Bayley and I guess, unless this is the first time you have read one of my blogs, you'll know I don't collect female figures (money and space to display them is the reason).  Now onto the ones I do have, first there was a Seth Rollins (Left) as a big fan of the indies I was a fan of Rollins under his former guise of Tyler Black but never really saw him in NXT, yes, I don't watch the WWE product, haven't since 2002 really, caught the odd bit here and the...
