Claremont's last run of X-Treme X-Men books heavily, HEAVILY implied that Rachel and Kitty were an item. It may have even said so outright, I don't recall......

Yeah, like almost every other "new direction" the X-Men take, I popped my head in at the beginning of "Gold, Blue, Red........pretty sure there was a Green....." eras, and quickly tapped out. I remember at one point they were killing off characters unceremoniously every issue. Did the writers...

I was today years old when I learned mustache Chewbacca existed. Not one I'd pick up had he been packaged singly. https://jediinsider.com/8-27640#gsc.tab=0 They all look nice, the latest---and probably greatest---versions of each of those characters. But do I NEED them? I've got them all and...

OK, now I'm picturing the Marvel Legends New Mutants wave all on those retro Sienkiewicz (I had to google that spelling) cards. I hated Sienkiewicz's art as a dumb teenager, now I love it.

I agree with this and also everything you said about Betsy beforehand. I don't think I even understood Claremont's original body swap story. At least.....I don't remember it that well. I'd have to go back and re-read. I do like Jim Lee's Japanese Betsy design, but the whole story, and the...

WELL played!

I found an extra combat belt Batman at a toy swap last fall for $5. Good condition, good paint, all he had was his cape which you can argue is all he needs. Let me know if you want it.

Yeah, both Kenner TAS and the Burton movie figures gave you ONE Batman that's pretty accurate to the source, then dozens and dozens of other wild looks. I have my combat belt Batman from childhood still, and it is miraculously still complete. We typically kept pretty good track of our...

Which Kenner Batman are you talking about? My best guess has to be Combat Belt Batman (?) just because that figure complete goes for a decent price. It's also the most TV-accurate figure from the Kenner TAS line. Love that figure.

I thought of another and it may be my all-time biggest: DC Direct Batman the Animated Series figures. I got all of these when they first came out under DCD, haven't touched Todd's reissues, but I can't imagine anything he did with them would change my mind on the following. I consider Batman...

I'm going to be greedy now because I said before this line ends that I want a Swiftwind, and I got it, and it's a really good one. Now in typical toy collector fashion I will ask for more :). I couldn't be less interested in these sketch book/early draft designs. That (and crossover figures)...

Take a pic of the stuff you're purging!

I was pretty low with ML in 2025 as it is. Off the top of my head I got 97 Cable, 97 Emma, D+DD, D+ Punisher, Rachel, Feral, cat Beast......but I know there are a couple more from earlier in the year that I don't remember. Yes, the Marvel teams are all interchangeable and after each annual...

One of my big goals this year is to keep the Marvel Legends purchases down. Down to the single digits.....like five. I have all the characters from this franchise that I want. I can foresee two big roadblocks to that. One being a New Mutants wave/box set. Another would hinge on Avengers...

I'm fully prepared to keep Palyamates as my "forever" Star Trek figures. I wish they'd have gotten a few more deep cut DS9 figures under their belt, but besides that.......

The only Mattel products I've bought in the last 16 years is MOTU Origins which I think technically accomplished what it set out to do (recreate vintage MOTU except this time with articulation) perfectly. So in theory I'd be willing to give their new DC line a chance. The problem is, I don't...

I set an alarm and got Zatanna before BBTS sold out. I also clicked on the Wally Flash even though it said "sold out", the item page had one in stock so I managed to get him too. That said, I understand and agree with all the Todd criticism, his ego makes this line no fun to collect.

I was a Half Price Books yesterday and grabbed a few Larry Hama Wolverine issues, now I'm envisioning a GI Joe/Wolverine display.

I went ahead and set an alarm for Zatanna tomorrow. I'm normally in the middle of work for Todd's drops but sneaking off is doable.....if I remember. It's usually easy to predict which preorders sell though in minutes/seconds and this one is a safe bet.

Same. Could have put this here, could have put it in the tariff thread, could have put it in the cutting back/quitting thread. But it's going to take more than $2 for me to pass on the Queen. This is one MOTU figure I've always wanted.

I bought my first Classified of the year.............DOC! Playing a bit of catch up but this classic Joe was long overdue to go in my collection. I MIGHT glue the pouches on, they pop off a bit too easily IMO, but we'll see. He looks good!

Glue costs too much money.

You know, I'm looking at it close and it's really not that detailed of a nose. I see no nostrils. It's kind of a hump, but it's definitely more than what was drawn in the comics. I'm not going to mess with it. If I try to shave it off and I mess up there's no going back. I'm just gonna live...

I brought Cardiac home yesterday, my first figure purchase of the year. I've typed this up before but Cardiac was one of my few ML wants, he first appeared at the same time I started reading Spider-Man comics, he and I came onto the scene at the same time. I really like his look. This figure...

I'm not going to put her in my avatar like that guy from the Fwoosh, but I had to vote for Darcy. And Lou Ferrigno!
