Did the Lizard already sell out? It says currently unavailable on Amazon.

Agreed. It is especially a problem when the shoulder hinge is super tight but the bicep connection is loose and gummy. Any attempt to articulate Werewolf By Night's shoulders results in his arms popping off and it makes posing him irtitating and joyless.

Ha. They're doing it for the kids. Sweet of them.

Again, I'd say we should demand that there is a relation between COGS and price (say through maximum profit legislation) precisely because I don't think that a decades long wage stagnation amidst exponentially increasing corporate greed should mean that a majority of people are too poor to...

I get it, but this is a legit slippery slope to "only rich people get to have hobbies." I mean, why should there be an expectation of affordability if it's a luxury good?

As Damien says, even if we take Cocks at his word that price increases are due to tariffs, that they're passing the tariff cost on to us is also entirely on Hasbro being a greedy corporation. They could shoulder the added cost of doing business and still turn a profit. But I don't take them at...

I wouldn't let Hasbro off so easy. As with blaming layoffs on nebulous "AI", many corporations blithely blame tariffs or inflation for what is mostly just executive and shareholder greed. I'll bet the price doesn't revert when the tariffs are lifted or reduced. Remember we have this as of Oct...

These are the things I would expect more ire over: 4HM price bloat and locking an army builder behind that price with 7 heads and only 1 neck adaptor.

I'm sure "PRESENT" was meant partially to lead in the direction of the ghost of Christmas Present, not denying that. But the Nutcracker was rather famously a Christmas present himself, a gift to Clara from her unc, Drosselmeyer. I thought it was a clever feint and don't really understand the ire...

Charming. Yeesh.

Looks great. Where's the head from?

My Skurge's axe appears to be missing its metal buttcap. The handle just ends in a brown square block with no metal painted cap. Online pictures show a cap. Is it supposed to have one?

I may have received two defects. First, my Werewolf By Night's right bicep peg is malformed makes the arm pop off with very little torque. This is exacerbated by the tightness of the shoulder joints, such that any attempt to lever the shoulder up by the arm causes the bicep to pop off. I tried...

I enjoyed your choice of verb here given your profile pic.

Haha all 3 of those are on my 'top want' list and I've customs in progress for 2 of them. I am embarrassed to think how much I spent acquiring base parts to customize a character as inconsequential as Tusk. But I loved that TB figure as a kid and nostalgia's a helluva drug.
