Ah, that's right. I forgot about the invisibility.

Are the translucent legs meant to simulate something from the games? Or is it just one of those "it looks cool," things? I don't remember anything like that, but it's been a long time since I played the early MK games. Raiden would have made more sense since he had the teleport move, but knowing...

They might be when all is said and done. I think it's between Carolina, New Orleans, and Tennessee. The Giants could get there too, but right now it appears they at least got something of a lift from Dart and we'll have to see if that carries through. Sucks about Nabers though. I think the best...

This is worse than Blockbuster nostalgia. What is a tariff on a film production? I don't even know how that is assessed. I'm guessing he hasn't even thought that hard about it either. It seems like the only way to punish such a thing is through how they allow production companies to itemize...

That's the first tariff charge from them I've seen on a Hasbro product, unless others have had them. Always possible they're treating Marvel Legends differently from other Hasbro properties.

True, but in that kind of situation you usually get some industry speak like encouragement to preorder "so we can get those numbers up." "We really need you guys to come out and show us you're into this," that sort of thing. That was some of the language we got heading into Ghostbusters, but...

I forgot about that one. What a hideous figure he turned out to be. It might have been around the same time too. I think the excuse with Mystique was the digital artist was either told they were using a different mold or there was an incorrect assumption made somewhere.

I have the old Shredder as well. I like him with the original Mirage turtles. This new one would pair well with the Lawson ones, but I also have Karai-Shredder so if I never get this one it won't break my heart. I like the proportions on him, but I don't love the sculpt. It's good enough, just...

They mentioned the presale was going well during the livestream, but then again, one would expect that He-Man would perform pretty well. The real test comes from seeing how the secondary characters do. A standard Clawful is still probably likely. They often don't promote the standard versions...

Might be time to get concerned about the Ravens. They need to get healthy on defense, but their offense was not good yesterday and at times it was flummoxed pretty bad by Detroit the week prior. Jackson's injury didn't look too serious and the game was getting out of hand when he went out, but...

To a degree. It seems to vary from company to company. For Hasbro, I don't notice a dip, but I'm also not keeping track either. It sure seems like they're rolling out a bunch of stuff including general release items, HasLabs, and made-to-order figures. NECA does seem like it had a slow down and...

Well, those who complain about the mini comics being useless at least get that complaint legitimized here. I would bet that little thing is pretty similar in cost to a missing fist. In truth, both literally cost Hasbro pennies which makes me think they have some unofficial rule about just how...

I saw the same situation at my local Walmart last week. Couldn't pass up the $15 Shred, so now I have a Shredder and a Shredder-Krang in my display. That two pack is still too rich for me as that worm Shredder would go in a bin. If that one hits clearance to where I feel like I'm just paying for...

I've never seen Ultimate Casey in stores. Did see the reissue two-pack with Raph and the weird motorcycle one. If not for Detrimental Fig I probably still wouldn't have that fig. Though they may have had him on the NECA store at one point - I can't remember.

Pretty big get (relatively speaking) for Walmart to get these before Target. 87 cartoon and the movie line appear to be the only things that will ever be exclusive at this point.
