I’ll make some more enemies and state definitively that while I kinda liked those Abrams ST movies and *definitely* think Pine is the superior Kirk by lightyears, I also don’t listen to post-1980s Beastie Boys because 1980s Beastie Boys are the only good Beastie Boys.

Don't agree, but I have the arrogance of youth.
 
It’s really just Kirk for me, I’m fine with the rest of it.

But Kirk fucking sucks.

That's how I feel right now with all this Trek slander.

Back to the Adventure Club, Rick O'Connell from the mummy when?
 
Though I am not a staunch defender of TOS by any stretch, having finally watched some of it more recently and gotten into some of the behind the scenes stuff, a lot of the popular interpretations of that show are just kinda wrong. Like, the social commentary stuff, sure, that's all there, but the cheapness and what people think of as Kirk's character now are, I think, a lot less true than folks think they are (the cheapness is entirely not true, that show cost a bloody fortune).

Pre-ordered this as soon as it went up. I've always been a big fan of the pulp and two-fisted adventure kind of stuff. I think this will be a lot of fun to play around with, and hopefully there's more cool stuff coming within this subline. This interests me WAY more than generic soldier guys and generic zombie soldier guys.

To me this line is like a preview of the NPC line more than an extension of the Soldiers of Fortune. I'm not sure yet if I'm gonna grab this first dude, but I am paying attention and I'm sure I'll get one of them eventually. I do like this particular reuse of parts and I think they've done a pretty good job in color to make it feel distinct from the characters who have used those bits already.

For me, I'm sure it helps that I don't own any figures from BBWS yet, so -all- the parts are new.

Wow... the amount of goodwill you burned with me on this take is sizeable. You are one of the posters I respect most on this site but this is the most wrong its possible for an opunion to be. Check Your Head is a god damn masterpiece and Hello Nasty is fantastic theoughout. While License To Ill is fun and irreverent and appealed to the 14 year old I was when it came out it is objectively their least artful and least interesting album. Paul's Boutique is all kinds of awesome and did come out in 1989, but to disparage their subsequent work reflects poor taste or bad judgement.

Sorry, but thats just the truth 😑
