FINALLY!!! Max Factory has started doing Figmas of Super Robot pilots!



Oh... no... it's a guy who shoves stuff up his naked ass at public events.

My mistake.

(NSFW... seriously...)

LOL! I'll bet he has proud parents.

[ryomakabuto]

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE JAPANESE PEOPLE???!!!! Was there such a huge demand for something like that from the public? Why would Max Factory ever even think about making a figure of such character!!!!!!!!!!!

[krimpov]

Tsss... so much hate.

Here, maybe this will be more your style :


CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR VERSION BILLY HERRINGTON !



Let the Holidays Spirit penetrate you!

[ryomakabuto]

Is that a wrestler? A chip n dale dancer? A japanese actor? With different clothing and some face changes it would make a perfect Terminator figure.

Eeeeeh... probably not the kind of "wrestling" you're thinking.

Not Japanese, but he's some kind of actor, I guess...

Figma Terminator Nude Time Travel ver.?


He's a gay pornstar who became a meme on some Japanese websites. And Japan being Japan, when it becomes infatuated with an oiled-up muscleman, stuff like this ensues :








For some reason, Max Factory thought it would be a good idea to make an action figure of this guy.

For some reason, it turned out they were right.

Ever since, they've been churning out Billy Herrington Figmas, special edition after special edition.

[TheMazingerZ]

What a waste of plastic! I agree, if they can sculpt something like this, and they already made Robocop, why can't Figma just make a T-800 Terminator 2 action figure instead!

The whole idea of Billy Herrington as an action figure being made by a prominent toy figure company who makes figures for kids no less, and then to think that there are people out there who actually buy these things is so freakishly bizarre that I can't even begin to wrap my head around what to think of this. I guess at face value it's supposed to be like a joke or something, but as a strange little reflection of our time, it's really f*cked up.

[mechamasterj]

Hey to be fair Japan's toy fan base goes wayyyy beyond kids you should know this as barely any of us are kids anymore, well made at heart but we are all disgusting Middle Ages men go still look at women and drool from time to time. And he'll it's Japan have you watched what Thier regular programming consists of?? And Thier adult films are no short of bizarreness! So no not surprising and let's not forget that their are firm advocates of rule 34 and nothing is sacred when it comes to that in Japan!!

Agree 100%. Seems like it is only a matter of time until we see Hasbro or Mattle making John Holmes and Ron Jeremy action figures too...

Dang my posts make half sense once I read after I post ughh

I doubt we will ever see that crap here at least not by those companies. I have heard of some porn stars and playmates getting figures of some sort but I forget the company that did them nor do I care!

Lol maz I am upset I thought there was some new figma news only so see you agree with something how utterly disappointing maybe we should keep posts relevant to new news and that's it no opinions or anything like that! What do you think?? (Note my super high sarcasm) lol

I'm not surprised, we're in a hobby where you can get statues of naked Anime girls with freakishly large breasts in degrading positions. Where we can get figures of school girls where you can take their clothes off and anatomically correct. Nothing the Japanese do surprises me anymore.

When is screwed up stuff like this, it is hard to keep the fingers still. I was going to share some news about the upcoming Figma... Eh, nah, I'll let you find out by yourself. ;D

[mechamasterj]

lmao at least you have a sense of humor!

[krimpov]

Here we go, another gay pornstar.

[TheMazingerZ]

Right...

When is Cobra supposed to be released? Can't tell by the card.

}D

[TheMazingerZ]

Sooo, I finally picked up my Figma Tekkaman Blade... it is small.



Damn you Figma!!!

Yeah, Figma Tekkaman Blade looks to be more of a scale-buster within the line itself and only slightly smaller in terms of height than the larger Guts and Robocop. I passed on both so I'm not too disappointed. Not that I don't think they're cool. I may yet still see if I can score Robocop. I already have Guts representation in my collection however.

Speaking of figures that were way out of scale within the same line, AKA "peanut head" syndrome, I know I was really disappointed in the way Ultra-act Gridman was executed. That one was a huge oversight on the part of Bandai. My apologies for deviating slightly from the topic. See this review for details. *facepalm*

Ah well, Still plenty of photo and picture taking fun to be had with other lines. Overall this looks to be a satisfactory figure and I can't wait to crack mine open soon.

Anyways, I got my ship notice from Goodsmile co. the other day and my figma archetype He will be in town tomorrow. Probably won't be able to get it in hand till Mon, but we shall see.

EDIT: I need to see a preorder for Cobra immediately!

[TheMazingerZ]

Woah...! I got Gridman as well, but I had not noticed the huge scale difference. My fault totally since I took it out of the box to make sure it was not defective and then put it back in it and to the closet it went.

I can't wait for the Space Pirate Cobra either. If you see the pre-order link first, please post it.

I finally got my Figma Link, which was on hold at AmiAmi all this time waiting for Fewture to ship their Juohmaru.

Like most Figmas, it looks great, though I wish it came with more accessories. Has Max Factory ever released accessory packs before? Good thing you can remove the handle on the shield. It allows you to pose the figure as the classic lefty Link, or the modern right-handed waggle-meister Wii Link. It also makes it much easier to slip the handle into the handle. Too bad they did not do the same thing on the sword. I snapped the handle off on my first try.
