I love the first RoboCop movie, but I imagine that $70 per henchman is a non-starter for most collectors. I understand why they cost what they do, but it feels like this company didn't put a lot of thought into their business model. The face sculpts are all great, but I feel like they really...

If I've done my math correctly, a 1:18 Argentinosaurus would be between 5.5 and 8.5 feet long, but a 1:18 Amphicoelia would only be a little over 3 feet long. However, even that 3' range would still make it an expensive, niche toy. 1:35 seems more likely and it would still be an engineering...

And here I was thinking I might be one of the young ones from '85. I was the target demographic when the Turtles cartoon came out and I loved it as a kid. I even saw the Coming Out of Their Shells tour, which my friends later convinced me was a dream until the internet could finally vindicate...

Bought some Gunpla accessories on Ali Express and had a $12 tariff charge tacked onto my $36 order. I added and dropped a few things from my cart just to experiment and it looks like they're charging a roughly 30% tariff fee. I wanted the parts enough that I still made the purchase, but that...

I'll dog pile on the recommendations for Reuters and The AP. I don't think Ted Turner realized what kind of Pandora's Box he was opening when he created the first 24 hour news channel with CNN, but the need to fill a 24 hour cycle with content so people don't click away is what finally killed...

Now that Super7 has already laid off 75% of their designers, I'd be fine if they folded altogether. Their ReAction figures have become as tired and stale as Funko Pops and they've failed to exercise basically any quality control over their Ultimates line for five years. Furthermore, whenever a...

No one's wrong in criticizing the limited range of motion on the Smilodon, but I think this line seems to value anatomical realism over kinesthetic realism. That Zabu figure can move the way it does because it has those ball-jointed shoulders and hips that stick out from its relatively broad...

Getting up and walking out of a negotiation is also one of Trump's favorite power moves so it's also possible China is just giving him a taste of his own medicine.

Considering how often he sounds like the kid who didn't read the book before giving a book report in front of the class, it's very on-brand.

Old Joe missed the PR opportunity of a lifetime when didn't award Mike Pence the Presidential Medal of Freedom for standing up to Trump on January 6th. I don't agree with Pence on just about any other issue, but when when push came to shove, he stuck by his convictions and spoke truth to power...

The comparison to A Tale of Two Cities feels very appropriate. However, I think when most Americans picture the French Revolution, they picture storming the Bastille, decapitating Louis and Marie, and Liberty with her breasts out. I think we tend to gloss over the Reign of Terror in which the...

I don't really believe in vampires, but Stephen Miller is definitely vampire-adjacent. I have a daydream about the next administration sending Trump and the most harmful members of his administration to Guantanamo. Stephen Miller is near the top of the list. There's enough documented history...

My wife and I used to run a small business and work the comic convention circuit so I can appreciate the Horsemen trying to incentivize folks with extra spending money to come out to their convention, but I've also never seen them post a convention exclusive that I just had to have. I really...

1000%. He lies to cover his ass, even when the truth is widely available. He lies when there's no benefit and only risk. He lies like he doesn't know how to tell the truth. The man is just fundamentally broken. I still read Penny Arcade and Jerry has a lot of friends in the indie tabletop...

Speaking of the Red Death body, when I saw that first version with the black skin, I immediately thought of the bog bodies they've unearthed in northern Europe. A year and a half later, I finally have my bog shaman.

My read before and after Trump paused the majority of his tariffs was that this was always a stupid show of force to bring other countries back to the table so he could renegotiate what we more or less already have, but he could point to it and claim he's this genius businessman/negotiator (see...

Before I got central AC, the ankles on my normal-size 2.0 figures would get soft in the summer heat and they'd eventually fall over. My goblins could still stand up under their own weight in the heat, but my 2.0 skeleton, vampires, and cosmic ladies would all lean like smooth criminals until...

According to sourcehorsemen.com: "Expected shipping to our warehouse on these is mid-2025." However, those projections have been overly optimistic since the Illythia wave so fall of this year seems more likely.

Ganesha is the remover of obstacles so it's almost certainly him. I'm surprised they're going with Ganesha, since he's actively worshiped by over a billion people. I'm sure it'll be a great figure and Hindus aren't shy about representing him in all sorts of media and mediums, but right-leaning...

I know self-diagnosing mental illness is pretty trendy at the moment, but I've started to wonder over the last few years if I might fall somewhere on the neurodivergent spectrum/graph/pie chart. I share a lot of your aforementioned behaviors, ESPECIALLY the hyper-focused collection of trivial...

I come from a family of non-collectors and I wasn't a collector until I met my wife. Her dad is a collector and he taught her to collect. Most of the comic books in our house are hers. The only toy line I collect that she doesn't care for is Acid Rain World and that's because she dislikes...

I'm mostly comfortable with it, but I don't exactly broadcast that I collect toys because I'm keenly aware of the way it can color folks' perspective when they hear I collect so I have self-deprecating ways of spinning it when the subject comes up. I work in commercial film production so I had...

That's my big fear. Prices shot up during Covid, but have barely dropped at all in the last four years. My gut tells me this is just a disastrous opening salvo that Trump hopes will bring all our trading partners back to the negotiating table, much like when he ripped up NAFTA during his first...

I also just made the jump from The Fwoosh and appreciate everyone involved in getting this forum up and running. I really missed my toy community. For purely selfish reasons, I'd love to see the avatar boxes to the left be just a little wider so it doesn't hack my username into: RunestoneCowb...
