I don't have sources/links at the moment, but Zaslav's contract stipulates that he would remain in a co-CEO role through '28 or '29 if a buyout were to happen. So unless he resigns, he's not going anywhere for a while no matter what happens. In that vein, Gunn won't be going anywhere either...

This is extremely solid advice that pertains to so much more than just this car. Thanks for that, it's a hell of a great reminder that having fun should be above everything.

I've been there. I'm fortunate my longer lasting relationships didn't have anyone shaming me, but some of the shorter ones did. Little snide remarks hidden as sarcasm or "jokes". The woman I'm with now is also a collector, and she's mostly to blame for reigniting my passion in collecting because...

That's good to hear. Do they seem like they'll be easy to remove?

This, right here, is an excellent example of what I was saying in a different thread regarding exposure to 3rd party stuff...I had no idea this thing was coming, I don't believe I would ever have come across it without seeing it here, AND I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HAVE IT. Preordered. Damn, you...

Edited, Misfit said the same thing I was trying to say lol That's what I get for not reading everything before posting!

Far be it from me to critique how anyone spends their money, but something to consider - not supporting or trying out books by newer writers and artists trying to make their way is a sure fire way to make sure you run out of "A-List" writers and artists real fast. Before you know it, the same...

They did say that, yeah. Re-usable "a few times" so you can switch it back and forth. A few YT reviews I've seen say that the stickers actually aren't re-usable and that you don't get very many of them for swapping, so I don't know. Mine hasn't shipped yet, so I can't verify it, myself. For...

That's my guess, too. I only have one Mezco with movable eyes (89 Batman), but that particular head is also a touch larger than the ones with non-movable eyes. Throws things off quite a bit. I'm happy to pass on these. NECA's are still perfect from a design and sculpt perspective.

I got into 1/6 collecting lightly in '23 and more heavily in '24. I didn't have anywhere to display them at the time, but I knew that the day was coming soon that I would. One day, I counted the boxes piled up and I was at 28 figures. Probably 50/50 Hot Toys and 3rd Party. 3rd party are...

100%! I have branched out to a lot of 3rd party and indie lines I didn't even know existed simply because I saw someone talking about them here lol "There are giant tiger men that look like kung fu monks, and not based on existing IP? Yes please!" I'd never find this shit if yall weren't...

Speaking to this...in 2024, during that big Fwoosh outage (or was it '23? It all runs together), I didn't have anybody to talk toys with or to read about toys from. I had youtube, sure, but I don't do instagram and I don't really look at toy stuff on FB or any other social media platform. I...

One of the things that I've tried to focus on specifically in regards to the "ten will bring me even more joy" is the idea of having to open them. Especially if it's McFarlane or NECA, the act of opening each one in succession and having to cut so damn many ties and deal with all of the tape and...

Yeah, I tend to lean in this direction of skipping the universe build these days. I started collecting in 2020 with McFarlane's first DC wave, and then I exploded in a thousand directions because I discovered that all of my favorite nostalgic franchises from my childhood were represented with...
