    Not sure why, but something clicked in my brain and I really like the AK Zombs all the sudden...
    Definitely a lot different than my Pushead collection, they are fun in their own way

    yes, totally looking forward to this. 16" tall, but $330. Kinda steep, but Bandai has to get paid... Makes the Mongrol at $225 look cheap by comparison.

    I was surprised that there is only going to be this single colorway. I thought for sure there would be multiple. I wanted a Nightwatch version.

    3A x Mazinger anyone?

    That's happening? I've always thought WWR drew heavily from the Ma. K aesthetic, it would be cool to see Wood's take on the designs.

    talk of the first collaboration being the Krote in 1/12 scale. Not my favorite Ma.K design but.... still looks promising

    Yup, Krote will be the first, I'd prefer Mesuline...

    There might be more if they sell well. If commentary is to be believed, it doesn't seem too popular in the 3A fanbase, thought I don't know about the bandai fans.

    Holy shit! 3A x M.ak sounds incredible! I can't wait for a Fireball w/ pilot, or any other of the power suits.

    Doesn't seem like it's selling well according the responses in that forum.

    It felt like that bubble burst awhile back!

    Too many lines, to many repeated colourways, too many recycled sculpts. A real nice guy but Mr Wood seems to be spreading himself mighty thin.

    Still looking forward to the next 2000AD release though!

    I wouldn't say that according to the aftermarket. Things are worth more than ever right now. I agree that there is a bubble, and will pop eventually, but I don't think it has yet. Figures less than a year old are going for 3-4x retail price.

    You still suck at quoting Kirkland! :D

    Dumping most of my 3A funded the family vacation last year so I know only too well there are crazies out there willing to spend stupid $$$ on older releases . . . and gawd bless 'em for doing so! (and by default even the new releases are generally 4-6 months old before anyone sees 'em).

    . . . but the huge buzz and excitement about every 3A release and development definitely seems to have gone off the boil (cheerleading sheep excluded).

    Almost everything I've sold that was 3a in the past 6 months was at or below retail and it was like pulling teeth to get those to sell. If someone wants to tip me off where the crazy buyers are cause I've got a few pieces left I'm trying to get rid of.

    Tharg came with a polystyrene cup, Mongrel came with 'The Mess'. Rojaws surely has top come with a steaming turd.

    Yeah, they seemed infallible before, but this year was marred with various QC issues.

    Big bots always have a problem selling. HBs get about $100 less than retail.

    which toys came out crappy?

    I think the Mongrol is one of the most awesome toys period.

    The new Dropcloth Jungle set has issues. Loose joints, can't hold his weapons.

    But the biggest problem for me is their horrible customer service and the fact that they tell you one date and then ship months later.
