    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    (long-ish post coming, blame it on my autism, sorry for the length) I got into action figure collecting with the first wave of McFarlane stuff in 2020. I had some figures here and there from Mattel/DC Direct/DC Collectibles, but I had only purchased them to add to my collection of all things...

    It is definitely my perfect Superman. I thought the black outline around the S would bug me, but I actually kind of like it on this figure. I originally had plans for customizing it, based on photos, but once I had him in hand I realized that it didn't need anything done to it. I did a review of...

    Whatcha got on preorder? Not just McFarlane.

    Are you getting rid of McF because the line is ending, or just because you're tired of it? You've probably stated this in the quitting lines thread already, and I missed it (apologies if so).

    Tracking toy tariffs

    I'm a week late to this discussion, and I don't plan to get involved in it too much. But this bit right here? The hate started when your president mocked a disabled man during a rally, and mocked him to the point of performing an over-the-top physical impersonation of him. You all loved mocking...

    NECA '87 Toon TMNT

    The current bodies not looking as round as the cartoon is a good description, I think. I had the TiD set, it was the only toon set of the bros that I had, and I sold it because I just didn't like the look of them. I didn't even know exactly why at the time, but I think the comment of them not...

    That's what I'm hoping as well. Henshaw is my favorite DC villain, I was pretty disappointed when they first revealed he was going to be a Red Platinum. Here's hoping these pictures are legit and he'll be available everywhere.

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    I saw these pictures on Facebook on the "McFarlane DC Multiverse" group. The poster is Sean Ross, who apparently got them from someone called SebaSieirro. It doesn't say where these were taken, but notice the lack of Platinum stickers. Is Cyborg Superman now a regular release, with his alternate...

    My gut tells me that he'll come with a non-articulated penguin commando and maybe a soft goods coat. But what I would like to see him come with? A raw fish, a gun, Geraldo (his pet chihuahua), and an alternate "fried" head sculpt. Do I think there's any chance of this stuff? Naw. But it would...

    I believe Lex and Mr. Terrific both go up for preorder in June, they just showed them off today for Superman Day. That Eradicator...what a miss. On the original release, I swapped out the head for the Action 1000 Superman head and then took the yellow glasses from a My Hero Academia figure and...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    I currently own 3 Mythic Legion figures, but the only one I've opened up so far is Maxillius. His QC is...interesting. Anyway, since I know nothing about the story behind these guys, and didn't feel like reading, here is my review/look at the dead version of Hans Brumbauh! The Potato Czar of...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    Fair point. I guess I was looking at that "standard" figure and thinking it was just so lazily tossed together, it seemed like it was done just to offer a cheaper option (and perhaps it was, just not for the reason I was thinking). I almost went for the bundle on Todd's store, until I realized...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    I thought it was interesting that the "Theatrical Edition" had not only Krypto but a cloth wired cape, while the "standard" release has a plastic cape. With the current tariff situation, I wonder if we're going to start seeing more plastic capes in the "standard" boxes while the wired stuff is...

    Hey, cool channel dude (and nice "intro/trailer" video, I need to think about doing that on ours). I am lucky subscriber #13 to your channel :cool: Bring on the cosmic 13-isms! lol My lady and I started a channel almost a month ago, reviewing toys and collectibles. I just started doing physical...

    I thought I had read somewhere that the Red Platinums were "in-store only" and wouldn't be sold online, like...that was the entire schtick behind the "red platinum" sticker. So I didn't even bother to look at the EE case in regards to Cyborg Superman, I assumed that was a "needle in an in-person...

    NECA Mirage Comics line

    I'm not sure if this should go here, or in its own thread since they aren't technically Neca, but I thought I'd just throw it up here and let others decide. I haven't really seen too many people talk about the (pretty damn good) bootlegs that showed up on Ali Express recently, unless it happened...

    The ENTIRE run? That is insane 🤣 I mean...obviously it's shitty, and anyone who ordered one got totally screwed here, but...I don't think I've ever heard of this happening before in the toy industry lol On that note alone, it's sort of fascinating.

    This is a toy board, so I'm sure everyone here is already aware of him, but Emgo is just about the best transforming youtuber out there. If you have a Transformer that he hasn't done a video for, I'd buy a lottery ticket lol www.youtube.com/@emgo316 He does reviews and transformations. And if...

    I'm good with enjoying what I have when/if collecting ends for me, or if lines end. I've spent a lot of time and money on this stuff, no reason to ditch it unless I just get to a point where I don't want any of this stuff anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I discovered this is an interesting way. I started smoking at 16 as a way to fit in with the group, because masking was only getting me so far. I was a pack-a-day smoker from 16-37. When I decided to quit, it was actually easy (I'm told it was so easy for me due to the autism, and how I...

    Hahaha thank you, it's pretty cool to see a community where masking is discouraged. I spend a lot of my time irl apologizing for my autism "behaviors", it's nice to know this is a place that is accepting. Thank you. It's been hard to really open up about things over the years. We just started a...

    [emoji1319][emoji1319][emoji1319] Excellent post, and thank you for the info! That's fascinating stuff. I've never been in therapy, although I'm sure it would benefit me. My wife went to school for psychology & has a Masters in Human Behavior...she also wanted to know "what was wrong with her"...

    Since we have 3 bedrooms, and all bedrooms are taken, I have utility shelves on one end of the LIVING ROOM 🤣 Imagine that! We have a very long (wide?) living room, so when you enter the front door the couch/chairs/tv/etc are to the left and behind the door the living room keeps going and that...

    Yeah, I get that one too. When the lady and I met 12 years ago, she had 2 daughters 7 and 4. I have no bio-children, but my stepdaughters are my daughters straight up. No ifs, ands, or buts. When they moved into my house back then, we felt fortunate that I had a 3BR place. And I always planned...

    This is a pretty incredible post. I don't know if it's appropriate to say "thank you" for something like this, but I appreciated reading it. My parents came at things with the best of intentions. It doesn't mean they came at things the right way, as we all know what road is paved with those...
