We all know people have never made money selling 20 different Batmen before.

I'd be way more concerned for MOTU than DC over that, but MOTU's got the movie coming out.

Like, I believed you. I'm just confused. We have a finger for rings! It's named for that! This is why those jerks keep getting rebooted.

Wait, does the Legion wear their flight rings on their middle finger? Why not on their ring finger?

There's also basically a mini-generation between the prequel and sequel trilogies that thinks of Clone Wars as their Star Wars. And I don't know if Star Wars is really going to be forever, it feels like younger people have drifted away from it more and more with each successive generation, but...

Agreed. In a world where Rod Serling once lived, I refuse to settle for less.

I mean, it would shock me if Johns wasn't a figure collector. Every single story of his reads like it was first told through a figure collection.

It was a bad wave attempting to tie into the popular crossover at the time, a crossover that had demonstrated success as a figure line through DCD. It was just a misread of the DCUC audience, although I'm guessing they were also trying to play ball with retail after sticking them with tons of...

I don't know if that was executive order, but that being the Boomerang look at that time and him getting a resurgence of focus from Brightest Day probably made it seem like a sensible choice. I actually like the longshoreman look for him quite a bit -- Boomer having a darker-toned look for...

Lol, what about Cho Chang, whose name is a combination of two surnames from two different cultures? Great research there, Jo.

Yeah, I think it's probably going to be the core part of another accessory set, which is fine with me because I have and love the first one. But if ever there was a way to make the best Final Girl in the series viable at retail...Hell, she could even be largely Ms. Voorhees reuse, considering...

I don't know the first thing about being a parent, but I think at 12 they're ready to have the, "This person believes horrible things and engaging with their art means engaging with that" and "This is how to research where your money's really going" talks. I was already listening to Rage Against...

There's no separating the art from the artist. In this case, the art directly funds Rowling's anti-trans campaigns, which have already influenced UK law.

Money going to a transphobe is no good. Hope it fails.

Looks like we're getting some kind of reveal on Friday related to this tease, maybe even an order window? Curious where they're going with this. Maybe an update of the old 25th Anniversary set or another accessory/diorama pack. My dream is that they're going to hit one of my bucket list figures...

I seem to remember the Secret Six ongoing implied there was maybe a group of Killer Moths, which reminded me a lot of the Monarch's henchmen from Venture Bros. I kind of want someone to explore that as a fun alternative to the Court of Owls or whatever.

I'll take any and all Zatannas that don't require me to buy a pack-in figure, until such time as Zatanna is given a cute but sinister familiar in a trope that I have in no way stolen from shows like Madoka. (I think it should be less catlike and more rabbity, though.) I'm more of a Magic DC fan...

I have a 1:12 Joust cabinet from an Etsy seller way back (I'll have to look up my account history and see if I can find the seller again) and a Galaga one that was actually an official Namco release. It's not a playable one, just a replica. I really could use a Simpsons one and a Street Fighter II.

Speaking my language. That feels like the kind of thing we might get from Fext eventually? I have some of their modular stairwell and Public Estate pieces. Skyscraper would be perfect for them.

PIctured: a comic with no basis in recognized ethics.

I'm told he fights everything nasty.

Like, it's impossible to read Dracula without understanding it's an implicit criticism of monarchy and the horrific things that someone with too much power and too little oversight will do, especially if they adopt a belief system makes exploiting and discarding other people part of their...

I can't believe I hadn't even considered that, but I could see them ending up there.

I thought we all agreed to keep Kevin Smith doing podcasts and speaking tours. He's an interesting guy but he doesn't have the writing skills for a Swamp Thing comic.

I'm hoping they'll still be around once the resets hit. I've heard a few people say that their Walmarts dismantling that mid-aisle display for collectibles, so it feels possible that there's going to be a lot of reshuffling to get a lot of that product back into the normal figure aisle...
