MAFEX recently unveiled the latest addition in their growing list of figures. The MAFEX Black Panther will include a total of three heads: two masked, and one T'Challa. It will also feature multiple interchangeable hands and a dagger (a spear tip, actually). The figure is slated for an August 2019 release and will be priced at 7,800 Yen (about 70 USD) in Japan. MAFEX is Medicom's entry into the 1/12 (6 inch) scale market that is dominated by Bandai's SH Figuarts, Max Factory's Figma, and Hasbro's Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black Series.

Our thoughts on Meta Threads, makers of eSports jerseys, and our experience with their service and thoughts on their product

The SH Figuarts Star Wars The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker figure is currently the definitive Luke in the 1/12 scale. It comes up short on the accessories but the figure itself is very solid and a very worthy addition to anyone's collection.

Bring Arts is proof that Square Enix can make solid 1/12 scale (or 6 inch) figures. They've only just begun moving away from the Kingdom Hearts license, and here's hoping they go all out with their inevitable Final Fantasy figures.

Transformers x Power Rangers crossover incoming!

Army-building is fun especially when you can create units, have a lot of money to burn, and have your own armory. Little Armory gives 1/12 scale (or 6") figure collectors that wonderful chance. These small wonders will make any default weapons look shit....if they weren't already.

Hasbro's been really trying to improve their offerings lately. Putting out the first Rogue One action figure ever is a good opportunity to gain ground lost to Figuarts and MAFEX. Unless those decide to release as well.

It's on! #GBWC2016

Being a focus-collector brings you a lot of advantages.....and temptations. I'd be stupid not to consider at least two figures from these four.

The Star Wars Line of SH Figuarts is going a little prequel crazy these days with Jango Fett and Mace Windu getting the figure treatment. Now add Obi-Wan in his Episode II self on that list.

Four articles combined into one. It's about a red mobile suit, a gold mobile suit, another gold mobile suit, and a souped up One Year War relic.
