More praise for Fahrul. I have two heads from him for MAFEX Spidey, I'll never ever use the stock heads again. Brilliant work and cheap, downside is he looks to be sold out at the moment. I'd like to get his hand pack.

Yeah, I imagine Mondo might do something like their Ahh Real Monsters! set. I'd be totally okay with minimal articulation, but I'm afraid Mondo will still be well over $200 for him. What I really want is just a Halloween Adventures decoration for sub $50. Kids toy grade. I think I'm going to...

For Peter, they released more or less at the same time, but Egon I believe did not become available at other retailers until about a month after the Mondo launch

I suspect that's it, canprime. I think we might get a better idea of the Hasbro price ceiling once they release the price of their 1/12 He-Man figures. But at the same time, they might try pushing the limit there, too, after the success of RGB. It's exciting seeing the team being built slowly...

He's $65 because his left leg can be Photoshopped into a deeper bend than the figure will get.

I thought I was happy with my KO Juggernaut from Ali, made partly from the Hulk body. But this one really looks superb. Has a lot of swagger. No price on him yet though? Bracing myself...

He reminds me a bit of John Romita Jr.'s version during the Typhoid Mary run. But it's hard to tell. He definitely has kind of a retro look to his face, though one that doesn't age as far back as their Captain America or Thor. An unmasked head would have helped the ID.

Deadpool would make sense, because I just purchased the MAFEX reissue. 🙃 First Deadpool in my collection, in homage to the 1993 Joe Madureira Deadpool poster I bought from my local comic shop and hung over my bed in elementary school. Never read a single Deadpool mini or ongoing after, but that...

As a writer and an artist, I've had to start including a bunch of WIP shots of my artwork to prove it's not AI. I'd rather castrate myself with a spoon than use AI , let alone put my name on whatever the computer makes. But I guess I'm glad that they actually care enough to want proof. On one...

Yeah, at the end of the day it's a matter of taste and preference. I guess I just don't like the hand waving over some of the issues. Toy Shiz says in his review "as far as articulation, I think a lot of people are going to have that notion that for $100 this thing should be able to do...

The four pack is cool. I slept on the original releases, I'll likely pick this up, even though Bill Murray maybe looks less like Bill Murray than their first attempt? And second? We'll see. I really wish I backed the Ecto 1, and at the same time glad I didn't, but I'm definitely starting to...

Alright, I got the Tonsen Bike Goku figure in from Hobby Model Shop. He does not disappoint, except for the price. $94.06 from China to my doorstep, very expensive, especially for a third party. But it does come with a really cool, metal, DBZ style bike that'd work with my MEZCO TMNT as well...

Yeah, I unfortunately agree. I don't see how these would undress, especially the arms. But they don't have nude arms in the packs. Seems like they might be priming for a double dip - sell these guys, then sell Ultimates with the Stump bodies.

I always thought the character was intentionally or unintentionally pronounced Sam Hain in the original cartoon. But now I can't remember if they ever called him by his name in the show. Definitely always heard him called Sam Hain in the fandom, though. I have a feeling he's not supposed to be...

what package? 👀

Alright, so I just got my first post-tariff package in directly from China. Package shipped from Bombusbee in China and was the Fish Toy Horse, made in China. It was $75 ($10 first time shopper coupon applied) and I chose free shipping, using the method "Large Parcel Shipping by Boat". So I...

Looking at some good pose pics of Maximum Hulk makes me want to pick him up, but I just can't do it at $60. If he drops to $40 I'll take the plunge, or look for him loose/used someday. I think I'm one of the few people who loves all the heads, even the big teeth goonish looking one. It's...

That is an example of all the junior designers afraid of raising their hand and getting fired.

I'd have tons of ReActions if they were $7 or $8, sometimes marked down to $4-$5. 5 for $100 is ridiculous. I bought most of my GI Joe Classifieds and Black Series on Amazon for sub $20. I have 0 ReActions. I've come to realize there are action figure collectors/toy collectors, and there are...

Krillin is $63 at Nin Nin plus shipping, but no tax. Still a pass for me, I think. I think he looks great, but I also love Earth's Strongest Man and there really isn't enough in the box to snag me. A normal smiling head would have gotten me though, and the promise he could head swap with ESM...

I spent some spare time this week opening up some old pickups and getting out what little S7 I have. Wound up adding a matte finish to the original four brothers, and some select parts of Sewer Surfing Mikey (I wanted his wetsuit to remain a little satiny). Also kiki'd all the loose hips. Big...

I have a couple preorders that came due during this time, on their way into the country now from China. I'll report back to say what I was charged, and if I was charged. I still don't even know how I'll be charged, but if it's a bill, I think I'll just sit on it until this all goes away. Unless...

They have the chops to do almost anything I think. They're one of the few companies that showed they can master cartoon stuff, creature stuff, and regular looking human stuff. So it's fun speculating. I'd love to see them do: Smurfs - maybe released as 4 packs of smaller, 3 inch figs that...

Mezco just dropped a "Collector's Capsule" release of their Shadow action figure, which you can order here. At a whopping $175, it's the same figure they released last year with some accessory swap outs, a giant smoke effect, more black added to the costume, a completely blacked out portrait...

There's good deals on older toon stuff on Amazon every now and then. I think it's 3rd party shops that thought they could scalp during Haulathons etc, then are left with peg warmers once the buzz died down.
