  1. Recruited Squirrel Girl earlier this morning, working on leveling her up, really enjoying her abilities so far.

    I will hopefully recruit Ares tomorrow, I'm on the last task just need 50 isos.

    Welp recruited Ares around midnight. As much as I thought I wouldn't like the covert tasks to unlock the ability to recruit Squirrel Girl it was quite fun, and I won't mind if playdom starts doing this, it keeps the game somewhat fresh when this isn't a new chapter available.

  2. Sailor Moon was edited in the States to mainly appeal to young girls, but in Japan it was aimed at teenagers of both genders.

    While it was aimed at girls in the states it was/is incredibly popular in anime fandom, and is looked at as a classic title now, and a lot of the hype could be due to the nostalgia factor, plus every Anime convention in the past 20 years have had at least one Sailor Moon cosplayer, and Sailor Moon has been referenced and spoofed in so many other titles so the majority of anime fans have some connection to it.

    I personally grew up watching Sailor Moon, saw it for the first time in 95/96, was obsessed with it by the time Cartoon Network started airing it, read the manga when it was in Mixx Magazine, and bought all the volumes from TokyoPop, had the toys from Irwin. Bought all the Kodansha rereleases this past year as well.

    I guess to some people it could be like Brony fandom, for me its a nostalgia thing and also the fact that the figures are incredible, if you've seen past SM toys they are pretty bad.

  3. I will take a comparison of Sailor Moon and Minimates, the rangers are at my folks home (at the other end of the state) and I don't have any Marvel Legends. Here is an image I found though of the Green Ranger, NECA Dutch and some ML Iron Men.

  4. Mods please delete this if you feel like it is far to similar to the Figma thread.

    I felt like we needed a separate thread for all of Bandai's S.H. Figuarts, Figuarts Zero, Monsterarts and D-Arts figures, instead of continuing to hijack the Figma thread.

    So yeah besides Minimates, S.H. Figuarts is my favorite toyline, and I am so happy that the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Sailor Moon sublines being released domestically.

    I purchased the Mighty Morphin Green and Red Rangers to get the optional Akibaranger "Powerful Ranger" pieces, and I just found Sailor Moon at Frank and Sons. I am so beyond happy at the moment.

    I really like the included display stand and Luna is painted really well.

  5. Thats messed up, she is still in stock at Conquest Comics for $20.

    Is Endsong/Warsong that popular of a storyline? White Phoenix of the crown merch is showing up a lot in recent years, we almost got her in Marvel legends to.

  6. Real Action Heroes are awesome, but are RAHs and Hot Toys considered action figures?

    I don't think he's had a seriously articulated 6" or 3 3/4" figure, just pvc pieces and the RAH.
