Yo, anyone got some of them Roman Legionnaires? They are pretty SICK. I got a couple and let me tell you that they did a great job and wish they would do more but knowing BFS and their agenda I doubt it. But maybe if they look at the numbers they will think about it so buy more of them lol.

>>11198470 Backed it.
>>11198502 Why would they want customers to buy horses from a competing company? Also the BFS horses dont look like the America feral horses most cowboys woukd have ridden.

>>11198502 They want their own tooling. They've had the sculpts for a few years already.

>>11198452 they messed up in the sheaths though: they made a smaller pugio one where the Gladius is supposed to be and they made this ugly hook thing on the legionnaire back to put the gladius but it looks dumb. The old greek sheaths work as stand ins but they are missing the pointy end and they are wider which means the thinner gladius sword is swimming inside.
Love that the helmet brush or whatever is called is removable, although I noticed in at least one what seemed like glue.
Pre-Ordered a joy toy signifier to have a banner and hopefully take all his shit like bear fur and put it into a BFS legionnaire. Playmobil also has signifier/banner but those are rather simple.
wish BFS gets their shit together and expand into the roman theme.

>>11198719 They are seperate companies, man. You can be friendly but at the end of the day you're always compitition. Plus, BFS recently had a change in ownership so who knows if they are even still on good terms. I know the CFT guys at least used to be good friends with Bobby Vala who tried to get them to switch to 1:12 scale and he has a very bad relationship with BFS and Mauraders so that could mean something but it's possible to be on good terms with people who dont like each other so that could be nothing.

Apparently McFarlane is doing a line of 1:18 figures for that new LOTR anime movie. They have a whopping 7 points of articulation including swivel hips. Hey at least they have soft good capes.
Anonymous
>>11200231 I don't want to be a McFarlane hater, I really don't. They can make some *very* nice figures when they put the effort in. But it feels like more often then not, they just churn out junk like this and call it a day.

I can't blame them for making budget toys for this series, considering how poorly Amazon series has been doing and other LotR lines aren't all that hot.
Maybe if it does well, they'll invest in a better line. If you don't remember, their CoD line at first had pretty basic articulation. The second wave was then modernized.
That said, i'll buy these figures solely for the troll.
Also, who wants a gigantic cardboard castle? It's supposed to be in scale with the figures, but i think they mean the door is big enough for a figure to fit through. At $25, that's cheap enough to be tempting, especially since other companies charge $50 for cardboard that's only like 15" wide.

Red Sonja posted over at BBTS.

>>11202793 She looks almost exactly like the 1:12 version, which isn't bad in any way. If they wanna start releasing all their figures in both scales, it'd certainly be a unique decision, but probably a welcomed one. I know I would much rather get those aliens and that space chick in 1:18 while getting Sonja and the spartan and mongol figures in 1:12.

>>11203355 Oh I see... they're downscaled classified figures, interesting.
And you imply they're doing this without Hasbro's approval? How can that be? I would understand if they were called something generic like "American Hero force - Commander Terrorist figure" but they're using their normal brand name it seems and I doubt hasbro would let them do this with out unleashing their 10,000 jew lawyers army on the chinks.
Sucks, I thought these were just announced but it seems they've been out for a while. They do look pretty cool, specially the Cobra characters.

>>11203702 It's honestly baffling that Hasbro won't let them sell in North America on the off chance that they decide to revive the 1:18 scale line. I'm sure that there are enough Joe fans to support 2 1:18 scale lines.

Quoted By:
>>11203355 >>11203395 >>11203535 Hiya would get in trouble with Hasbro if BBTS ordered them.
BBTS can import them, but that would damage their relationship with Hiya Toys. Hiya Toys has to enforce the regional licensing agreement or they'd get in trouble with Hasbro.
So it's a weird chain of order blockage due to Hasbro cockblocking Hiya being able to sell their 1:18 GI Joes in North America.
>>11203702 Hasbro are assholes. They don't want GI Joe collectors to have a source for modern Joes in 1:18 because it would eat away into their 1:12 GI Joe sales. And they're kinda right, but who knows how many GI Joe fans are actually supporting the 1:12 line. I know there are fanboys, like myself, who aren't buying the Classified line because they'd rather have 1:18 stuff.
For 1:12, i've been buying Mezco's. Might as well spend the extra $70 for something that's better quality if i want it in 1:12.
