Looks like the alternate head/portrait is going to be Rock Hudson if William Shatner is not to your liking. I think I like the alternate better.

Appreciate the perspective! But also this one line is even funnier cos the guy in a Hawaiian shirt and camo pants is supposed to be their UNDERCOVER operative. Dude stands out on the battlefield, the mall, the pickleball court... Also appreciate the Stalker love. Whenever favorite Joes comes up...

Welp, thanks for the head's up on Anti-Eternia He-Man - I haven't skipped many I wanted or regretted ones I skipped preordering but he was definitely one of them. Now I just need one more item to process on BBTS and I can ship that POL...

(And FWIW, dialogue, professionally, has been my specialty. I've been brought in to script doctor dialogue before when it feels wooden. I'm just super over-tuned to when dialogue feels clang-y in my ears.)

Honestly if you're enjoying it, I'm glad. For me the plot stuff I don't like I could overlook - it is FAR from the first show I've loved that didn't stick the landing. Landings are hard, especially in an industry that won't let you predetermine how many seasons you're writing for. But it's the...

We talk a lot about how kids don't really like action figures anymore, which is pretty true, but my brother's oldest has, without even knowing that action figure photography exists, taken up action figure photography on his own, at age 10... and he's FUCKING GOOD. He's got a natural...

Fire couple of episodes of Fallout are pretty good - the writers of this who hate corporate simps in a way I really appreciate. Even if they ARE writing a show for Amazon. (Nobody's perfect.) New theory on Stranger Things: I was convinced after the first four episodes this season that all of...

I don't want to hate a technology outright, but this is the sort of smooth-brained psychopathy people are using it for and it's abhorrent.

Desert Gear Sarge definitely has a more "just following orders" vibe than his "what he wishes he looked like as a pro wrestler" original look, fer sher. Even the fact that he comes with a handgun that screams "making up for something" leans into it.

Sarge actually offers a good spot for both "serve whoever is in charge" and also "I've got bills to pay and you expect me to do something brave?" His history of becoming the bad guy made him almost too right for this role. IRL it'd be someone like him up on stage wearing the newly branded...

I think this might be functional enough to work in classified. But covers a lot of ground the camp and awe already do, maybe?

I put Freefall in the same category as Hit and Run—a fine standard soldier but not someone I have any nostalgia for. Not a preorder but if he looks cool enough I could be won over.

I always like to leave room for a twist later, but he does have a history of switching sides.

I don't know what to think about the Playmates side of it because I wasn't a buyer but TMNT is that one IP I just keep trying to find the one line I fall in love with and it's been hit or miss, wrong scale but good quality, bad quality but good scale, fun figures but not iconic (liked the...

I was channeling my 80s/90s kid heartbreak from when he heel-turned during the Gulf War.

A grim Christmas file card: Code Name: Sgt. Slaughter File Name: Classified Top Secret Primary Military Specialty: Infantry/Drill Instructor Secondary Military Specialty: Survival Trainer Birthplace: Parris Island, South Carolina Rank: E-7 When the GI Joe Unit was disbanded, nearly every...

I am nothing if not predictable when it comes to spending too much money on this stuff.

All kidding aside on my part, it's the war over AI in the Dune books and I keep thinking that we find ourselves over and over again seeing the real-life version of weird stuff from sci-fi novels only when they happen to us they're just dorky and dumb instead of scary and cool.

Just put my order in, went with my must-haves and will let fate decide with BBTS or in-stock for the others. But for real though, WTF is wrong with their checkout/POS system? It re-added the mouse king I bought weeks ago into my order even though I kept removing it, like, four times, then...

I missed the radar tech guy - yeah, just do one figure and throw the unnamed, the tech, and the helmeted heads into one pack as an easy army builder.

I saw a Christmas card that had "Merry Christmas (and a little AI)" on the front and instead of someone's family or kids, it was two random dogs wearing reindeer horns, and I feel like either you know why that feels unhinged or don't, which also determines your side in Dune's Butlerian Jihad.

The fact that we don't have Jack of Hearts yet makes me wonder if he somehow offended the Hasbro crew. He's a weirdly specific gap in the collection.

Oh my god the Steel Raven box art looks like a knockoff porno version of a GI Joe package. But I would probably buy a character who looks like a porno version of a GI Joe character because eye patches are cool. The unnamed agent - throw that head into a basic retro Cobra trooper as a second...

For one figure, probably about the same. You'll pay less for shipping but more for the figure and based on past prices, those will be within like, a dollar or two of each other. Meanwhile I'm over here debating breaking up my order between 4H and BBTS because I actually love this wave but...

LOOKIT I don't want it but only based on size. If I had a Boomer-sized I made money in the 80s house, I would fucking want it, price be damned. But I put it in the same category as the Millennium Falcon - theoretically I want it, practically I absolutely cannot. I was just saying in another...
