Speaking of BBTS, my birthday's coming up on the 25th, I'm going to commit to shipping my POL (six items) right now. Any bets on if it will arrive on or before the 25th? I live in MN and BBTS warehouse is next door in WI.

In the winter with the central heating on I just place my new figures on the floor vent for 15-20 seconds per side and they're ready to go.

It is funny how a mature customer's feelings toward the branding changes how we feel about "repping" them. I was laughing the other day when I realized the KITH logo looks like costco's KIRKLAND logo, at least a similar sans serif typeface/font. Except I'd actually wear a $30 KIRKLAND hoodie...

That is gross. I've had similar situations where I swap like a foot or hand on a figure, then swap it a week later and some stinky water drips out. That's when I started switching over to dry heat. At the very least if you use water I really recommend using a compressed air gun to dry it out...

In the SDCC images the in-box head is shown separate from the hood, so certainly the hood is at least removable. I assume it's a floating piece so you could do hoodless or hoodless + armorless if you wanted. I wouldn't be surprised if the cloak is removable with velcro, too, they do that...

Water is great when you need to soften something inside, like the inner pegs on the butterfly joints. But water can be annoying when it stays in crevices. I used to note on Fwoosh every time I had a figure/accessory that wasn't water-tight, like JADA's Hadouken mold, until Robo made fun of me...

I wonder how Keldor's head and gear would look on a leftover Skeletor buck? Could be an easy kitbash into a "better" version. I'm okay with the sculpted shirt, although the belly button is an eyesore. This is just a dumb MOTU thing I'm okay with, I don't want those glorious muscles hidden by...

I added a keychain to check shipping and they wanted $20, so probably, yes. Forgot to even follow up on the KITH figures today. Sounds like I probably could have gotten the Cap I wanted. Oh well, just put that money towards the next Gamerverse Wolverine repaint. It's going to be...

I kinda wish they had done a little more with him, maybe made him a Mattel Creations $35 offering but give him Mattel-quality car tires, like the ones on the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks, make him an actual figure that can drive like a car and be fun both ways.

I'm not sure what you mean by hinge. The actual head itself doesn't do anything, no. He has a ball joint head and neck.

Passing on so many Jada SF alt colors has mentally and emotionally prepared me for passing on these ML repaints that I like very much. I am Ryu, disciplined, able to resist spending $65+tax on a Marvel Legend. Now, if you will excuse me, I must meditate until the drop has passed.

He's got THREE swords! And it's He-Man but painted black, which just makes him better. But really, he just looks cool, he's on the newer, better body, he has a shield with a strap instead of a stupid peg, three swords that he can carry all at once, two different heads that are both well-made...

I think my Masterverse of the year (not counting Panthor because he's different) is still probably Terror Claws Skeletor. Maybe AE He-Man if I can get him before the year closes out, we'll see. It would be Skelcon if he came on a better body/had vertical wrists. TC Skeletor still gets picked...

Nice, I've been loving Hordak way more than expected. I'm a sucker for a figure that has 3 points of contact with the ground and balance well. Combined with the wings and Hordak is so much fun to just pose wherever.

Here's CI Roadblock with Gung Ho's vest rocking the McF micro-uzi and grenade launcher: (apologies for the dust!)
