    G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

    I love Larry Hama, but I'm going here: The set up was good, but Dawn's storyline is the definition of wasted potential. Original Snake Eyes dies. His memories get transferred into Dawn via Dr. Venom's brainwave scanner. OK, cool. You are set up for some potentially very interesting...

    Yeah, baby. I was hoping for a Dawn figure.

    General Marvel Legends

    Difficult to do these days, apparently. This DD is tempting but I think I'm ultimately going to pass. I don't think I'm going to preorder anything today, actually. I think I'm just going to try to score them at brick n mortar when they drop. Try something new......see how it works out for me.

    G.I. Joe Toys on Sale

    I'm going to have to bite on the Cobra-La Royal Guard and just deal with the fact that I foolishly passed on all the other Cobra-La stuff so far. He just looks really good.

    I've seen this before.....had my eye on it. I'm pulling the trigger.

    ML Secret Wars

    Even ONE power effect piece would have gone a long way selling me on Absorbing man.

    ML Secret Wars

    Except......doesn't everyone hate 'Berto's yellows? If New Mutants come out in drips and drabs over the course of several years, there's not a chance their colors will match. A multipack is almost a requirement if you want that to happen. The sooner they knock this team out the better.

    General Marvel Legends

    Which one and where from? Throg is about the only thing I want from this reveal. JK, I'm down for Magik. Besides that.....lots and lots of reuse in this reveal.

    Power Rangers

    Basically what they are doing with it here in the US as well. I honestly don't know how I want Power Rangers to go forward. Once and Always left me cold. It was neat seeing Billy and Zach again, but with JDF, AJJ, and ASJ bowing out and then having them incorporating the real-life death of...

    Star Trek

    Yep, Paramount shut him down. He just announced it yesterday and I am bummed. I just asked him on FB what the difference is between his stuff and something like Stan Solo who does really good 3rd party Star Wars stuff. He wasn't sure but offered that maybe it depends on how much a license...

    Because we are at the point where simultaneous price hikes AND plastic downgrades aren't enough. We're at the point where including the correct, most functional hands (or even "hand"--singular) will no longer "cost out".

    G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

    I lament passing on Classified Cobra-La stuff almost every day. Once-A-Man, Nemesis Enforcer, Pythona, pass, pass, pass. I guess it's too late to start with the Royal Guard now? When and where is this guy offered again? Did I miss him already?

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    I lapsed recently and spent $90 on three figures. This hobby is too expensive. Todd's page puncher Hal Green Lantern, Barry Flash, and Jay Flash. Hal's price is already offset. I sold the golden age digital one for the cost of the newest one. That's a wash. The Barry will either be...

    Mattel DC Figures

    You are absolutely correct on both counts and that would be fine with me. If there was a lower output but every single release was the best it can be (like their SF stuff) I would love that. Getting those two to three Street Fighter figures a year.....every purchase feels like a special...

    Mattel DC Figures

    I need to see Mattel’s stuff first before I can offer anything besides guesses, and my guesses are: Mattel DC will be to MOTU what Hasbro Marvel is to GI Joe. Fans will say, “Why can’t DC Legends be more like MOTU”, and the response will be, “Because licensing fees”. It will be “good enough”...

    General Marvel Legends

    I was surprised how easy the fix was. That shoulder joint has a lot of plastic between the peg and the disk hinge so there was plenty of room for the small screw to go up into. It worked really slick.

    General Marvel Legends

    I brought Snapshot Spider-Man home after waiting patiently for one within my budget. He was at the top of what I wanted to pay but way less than what I typically see him for. The bad news is that his left arm broke off at the bicep with light handling. The good news is that I was able to fix...

    Hasbro x Street Fighter

    This will be interesting to see because the effort Jada puts into their SF line is the kind I would LOVE to see Hasbro put into ML. Count me in as one who is not expecting much but it doesn't matter. By the time this rolls around Jada will have finished their SF 2 lineup and I'll have closed...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    I received Zatanna and Wally Flash the other day from BBTS, happy with them both for the most part. Wally Flash--No surprises expected, none received. Comes on a buck we've seen before and will again. But it's a decent enough buck and Wally has a pretty straight forward look. He doesn't have...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe Figure Discussion

    The internet has named every red head in the Marvel Universe as being the character Sadie Sink is "confirmed" to be playing. At this point, I say just let the action figure be the reveal.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe Figure Discussion

    Will they even have Doomsday figures this year? Isn't party line, "We can't get the looks accurate because we're working off of early production art"? I guess the FF figures last year were relatively accurate except for Thing who was shirtless in one, seconds-long clip of the movie. Anyway, I...

    G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

    Sightings of the gold head Steel Brigade two pack at Burlington stores in my area for $12! If I had any free time I'd check my nearest one but I don't think that's in the cards for the next few days. I only want gold head......he'd go in my "can't afford the vintage version so I'll get the...

    General Marvel Legends

    I have the LCBH Conan from Toybiz and the Mezco Conan. I love 80s Marvel and I'll make no bones about displaying Conan with a Captain America and a Classified Duke. .....or have no outfits at all! I have BFS Sonjia too, she's pretty great.

    Mattel MOTU Chronicles Movie Figures

    If I was a beautiful movie star and just landed my multi-movie, multi-million dollar, geek franchise/mealticket movie roll, getting to pose with my action figure just might trump all of that. I hope the movie does well and the figures look promising, but I can't go in on this line. I'm filling...

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    Like clockwork, my BBTS fed Ex shipment goes from Maple Grove, MN (20 minutes away from me) to Kansas. Every time. Ugh. Well, I should still get it tomorrow. Then after that I have nothing on preorder until April when the glorious Balrog and E Honda Jada figures are supposed to come in...
