Two figures spring to mind. They are not recent, but they've always irked me because both are figures that should be front and center in my (and probably anyone's) display, but they both stink. Playmates vintage TMNT Shredder. I've written this guy up before on the Fwoosh. The worst...

That's how the reissue Magik's eyes came out, right? Price hikes AND regression in face printing?

My top 10. Vega represents Sagat and Blanka as well. Jada SF remains may favorite toy line out there now and I can't wait to finish the SF 2 cast this year. Tele Viper was my first GI Joe and this figure is perfect. O ring Big Lob arrives after 39 years. Swiftwind was one I definitely wanted...

My main thing that causes me stress is the super hero stuff, the Marvel and the DC. I have them in 8 large boxes, I have room to display a fraction of it. They are all "good" versions of the characters, i can't decide what to display so i don't. I've thought about giving it to my wife and...

This Venom was my last figure purchase of 2025.

Every single person here does the same. That's what the aforementioned large corporations are banking on.

I feel that same way but I'm fortunate to have two "outs" in this situation. One my brother in law who deals in buying collections and would take all my stuff off my wife's hands. Another is a local shop owner who is always happy to buy my lots (he's said more than once that I bring him "good...

Same. Same. This may be my goal for the new year. Instead of buying three new versions of action figures of characters I already have five times over, buy one good piece of original art from a local creator. It sucks when your favorite things are all owned by Disney or WB (or whatever other...

That sounds nice. Pick like 6 of your favorite, favorite figures and sell the rest.

I was hoping to get Cardiac in my hands before the end of the year but it looks like that's not happening.

I said this in another thread, I can't tell what's real anymore when I go online. In this case, whenever a beautiful woman poses next to an action figure, I question the authenticity.

I would take a Jesus action figure. I don't quite know how I would want it to look, but I imagine I'll know it when I see it. Four Horsemen would be my pick to do it.

Yeah Spearhead and Lightfoot were HUGE go-tos when playing GI Joe as a kid. Those two as well as guys like Salvo, Pathfinder...I was around 8-10 years old then. I loved the comics and the cartoon but by that time the really iconic characters (the 1982-1985 characters) were phasing out of toy...

Yup.....here it is.

No idea what it was. In my head canon as a kid the orange robot was an R2-D2 sort of character and he was the canary that you sent off into the mine field to look for land mines. I guess the hand held thing.......helps with that? Somehow? They'll get to him eventually. I also have a...

I didn't know Mezco did reissues but it looks like Gambit is going up for preorder today. https://marvelousnews.com/252-37986 This guy was on my radar for a while, then he sold out, and since then I've been trying to steer clear of high end stuff. It's just gets too expensive. But this guy...

This may not technically be the spot for this but I'll justify it as being a thread for GI Joe and personal creativity. I drew this a while ago giving some love to a personal favorite GI Joe who gets no attention. It was my first really attempt at using alcohol markers and I learned quickly...

I disagree with this because implementing the newest in articulation shouldn't have to cause a $10-$15 price hike. Jada uses the latest in articulation right now on their STANDARD releases. Unfortunately, Hasbro Marvel Legends is not a brand that's overly interested in innovation. They are...

I bought Beast a month ago when I saw him at the out-of-the-way Walmart on the way to the in-laws for Thanksgiving. I passed on the rest due to price. Unfortunately I have this bad habit where I will sometimes think the passage of time saves me money. I was back at the same Walmart yesterday...

Straight from Admiral Nechayve.....

Halting shipments to fix QC issues. https://toynewsi.com/488-61191 Well that's more than some companies would do, so props to them. Still at this point, I'm afraid it still looks like a "too good to be true" situation but I guess we need to wait a little bit longer to see for sure.

Yeah, that's the color scheme I'm looking for for Azbats. The first one was fine but the baby blue was a bit off, imo. If this is one of his <$30 releases, I'm in.

I used to have Tombstone, that was the only one. A shop in my area has a couple that have gold vac metal finish that look pretty sharp. Might have to get back into Rock Lords too.

That's always the decision you have to make when you're trying to complete your vintage stuff with HTF parts, what's going to be the most economical in the end? With that Dragon Blaster Skeletor, I know that I'll be more likely to find a complete figure than his chain and locks all on their...

I am at peace with my TMNT collection. I have the vintage Playmates stuff and that is likely a set that my heirs will be selling off once I'm gone, no plans to ever part with them. NECA gave me the movie figures I always wanted. I'm good. That said, talk about the end of an era. Playmates...
