Wow! Might be display one-offs but if they were the level of detail and articulation would be through the roof! I could see an army of customized inter-changeable hands!

Awesome, WWE vs Kinnikuman. I can't wait to see what kind of extras they pack in.

This is just too sweet. Tamashii Nations makes the best and most accurate figures to date. Mattel might have to step up their game.

I think I had heard something about Cena and the Rock around Toy Fair. Didn't know they were doing Austin and Taker too. I'll probably pic them up but they'll be expensive which will suck.

Interesting that they're going the rout of molded on pads. I wonder what their target market it with these.

...hardly I'm not sure if you're seeing what I'm seeing but Stone cold doesn't look like Stone Cold and to think that these are better than most of Mattel's line is just ludicrous

These have more articulation. They will have multiple swap out hands. Possibly swap out heads. Imagine a figure line that takes figure play/display to the next level? Swap out bloody faces/heads. Hell, Austin may have the 2 finger salute included.

I don't think that's it. Molded pads wouldn't get you around legal issues with scale. The price point and articulation style likely takes care of legal issues for them. The molded pads seems like more of a design choice. I'm not saying it's good or bad. Just wondering what the thought process is. And I wonder what the target market is because we will clearly only get a select few superstars and they won't be coming in sets of 6 like Mattel lines. Well maybe get one every month or two for $40-$70 per figure.

Well maybe get one every month or two for $40-$70 per figure. Price point will depend on the license fee. Their DBZ line ranges from $35-$85. Then again their TMNT line started out at $60. If I was a betting man, I'd say these will fall around the $40 range.

SS Trunks and Vegetta were hitting in the $400 range 2 years ago. My suggestion to anyone who is iffy about buying these, is just buy them. If you pass then up at a price you at first think is high, just wait until these sell out.

I still only own 2 Figuarts figures. Mario and Luigi. Got them for around $20 each on Amazon. Still wanna get Yoshi and some of the other Mario sets.
