    JOYTOY Mechs and Warhammer and stuff

    Some things in life are just better and easier to avoid entirely than to try and manage. That said, you really don't have to go "all in" on Joytoy Warhammer stuff. Or the gaming aspect. Just pick and choose which items appeal to you. There is the plastic crack danger though of one or two...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

    Same. No extra charge incurred from buying via Aliexpress. I believe they group individual shipments together. A local logistics company then separates the shipments once they get stateside. So there aren't charges per each and every order being delivered. One thing about buying from...

    action figure effects There are all kinds of sellers on Aliexpress with them. You can just search by "action figure special effects." The link above is the store I ordered from. From order time to arrival was only about a week. I'm in Los Angeles though, so I imagine it will take a little...

    I would assume a razor instead of a knife.

    JOYTOY Mechs and Warhammer and stuff

    Awesome! Hopefully they do well and we get a good selection of troops. At least the Death Guard look different. Even though they are indeed Space Marines they don't look just like other Space Marines in different colors.

    Opened one of my two Ghost Vipers. And received some green effects from Aliexpress. Green effects don’t match the FEAR green but…green.

    Animal Warriors of the Kingdom / Spero Toys

    the first Plunderlings were a fun concept and well executed figure. They expanded their line’s universe with Plunderlongs (tall guys) and Plunderstrongs (big hulk types). While that campaign did well enough, the designs just dont have that cute appeal. They also have some bird guys planned. And...

    You just have to be careful if you're going to try rubbing the nubs off the balls.

    General Marvel Legends

    It is interesting how Hepzibah turned from skunk lady to essentially a white cat lady over time. Even editors can't figure out shading of previous artwork. Maybe her race turns white over time? I'd want her earlier look. Some of the other ones posted, like that Frank artwork...I'd rather...

    Animal Warriors of the Kingdom / Spero Toys

    From their last Kickstarter update. I believe the first part is referring to the Brawlers and their butterfly joints. So those are looking to have those finished by mid-January. And then the Reptiles are after that. And then the Speedsters. And then the ladies. So...maybe all of those...

    Masters of the Universe: Origins

    a poster came out showing the 200x figures. Multibot. and these two guys. Man E Faces is wild looking. Definitely will get the Sketch He-Man.

    I have zero interest in Ninja Force. Damien, if Ninja Force ends up being a Target exclusive theme, I can try and source them for you. Gather a few releases to ship together and save on shipping. just an option in case.

    Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

    Ooof. The basic Hellboy figure already seemed a bit expensive. And now the coat is costing more. This is creeping up to 1000toys level, although not quite there yet. But still...it's like a glancing blow to the nuts. Which can sometimes feel worse.

    General Marvel Legends

    Also maybe we should realize that holding on too tight to a specific rendition of a character and expecting a figure to meet those exact specifications isn't realistic. Some kind of compromise will likely be made, so maybe flex a bit. It may be fine to not like 100% of a figure, but also...

    General Marvel Legends

    Marvelous News had another interview with Dwight. I haven't listened to it yet, but the site had this overview: They also speculated that Box may be the BAF. I think Marina would also be needed for Alpha Flight to be considered "complete." I believe the comments regarding the Starjammers...

    Spider-Man Retro 2026 Wave with Cardiac, Owl & Hypno Hustler

    I was trying to wrap my head around the hullabaloo around the Owl not looking "classic" enough. And well, I think some people are holding on too tight. Jesse Falcon? The guy who started Marvel Legends? That's a take. I remember going to ComicCon all so many moons ago. Toy Biz had their...

    Spider-Man Retro 2026 Wave with Cardiac, Owl & Hypno Hustler

    But would you want Mastermind with the same head he had in the Hellfire Club set? Shouldn't he be more gnarly and not handsome in his Mastermind look?

    Ha. Just saw that costume while doing an image search for him. Was going to suggest it'll be his ML figure but you beat me to it.

    At least we're getting alternate heads and necks with the police officer and greenshirt. Hopefully Crazylegs helmet fits securely on one of those heads for an easy swap. Come to think of it, I didn't preorder the Joe greeshirt. I don't really need greenshirts. I have a few of the Legacy line...

    General Marvel Legends

    Well, you had to that one guy, didn't you NORM? Firepower would be outstanding. Would have to be a BAF. Was kinda surprised they didn't make him using that Iron Monger BAF from back in the day instead of a SHIELD Mandroid. But I also don't see Firepower happening unless there's an Iron Man...

    General Marvel Legends

    I'm not familiar with Johns version of him. But given his preference for silver and bronze age costumes, I'm assuming the Jack of Hearts he wrote was in his original costume Here's a pic of the hint accessory. Thoughts?

    General Marvel Legends

    While I like that characters like Owl, Hypno-Hustler, and Cardiac are joining ML. I'm also really starting to question how many ML characters do I need to own. Nothing revealed today is of too much interest to me. I haven't read comics in years. But I'm not opposed to the Avengers maybe...

    Zap looks great. We're just down to Flash and Grand Slam for the OG13, right? The original RAH Joes were essentially poseable versions of the little green army men. I loved them when RAH started and love them now. The basic designs are part of their appeal. More visually unique specialists...

    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    I'll have to listen to the podcast myself, but my instinct is to think you guys are over-reacting. Harvinger is a small company. They can only put out so much product and only have so much capital. I understand wanting to make your product distinct from the competition. No one was making...

    Star Trek

    Seeing as how Art Asylum Star Trek figures were one scale. Then DST TNG figures were another scale. Not sure what later DST Star Trek figures had going on scalewise. Playmates was all over the place toward the end. I'd rather have Nacelle just do their own thing and not try and have their...
