    G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

    My feed is flooded with AI pictures of "military themed movie characters as GI Joe Classified figures sitting in-box on Target shelves". Strangely, the AI box art here looks better than the AI box art Hasbro is officially going with. I'd say that's the one wrong turn this line has made since...

    G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

    RIGHT ON! Thanks, man! It was showing up as $42 and change for me. Almost $20 per figure? What kind of crazy twenty-teens pricing is this?

    G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

    I too am in need of a Wild Bill. I think my second Classified purchase of the year better be Steeler/Short Fuze. Let's get that 82 roster locked in. The increased cost of the hobby in general has helped me do a good job of saving recently. Now how do I keep that trend going and NOT load up...

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    I don't remember who my first celebrity crush was but the longest-lasting was probably Kimberly the Pink Ranger. I didn't mention that when I met her in person last November....I'm guessing every 40 year old doofus has told her that. And though I wasn't as aware of it at the time, Trini was...

    Wasted slots & flat-out fails

    I feel "slots" are all relative in that a wave can be four or five or six or however many figures. I remember when GI Joe did their 25th anniversary figures 20 years ago, they put Mat Trakker in a wave. Everyone bemoaned it as a "wasted slot". Well, one of the previous waves only had 3 new...

    2026-2027 Rumor/Leak List - New Year, New Thread!

    I have yet to see a Disney firing that I am happy with. He did a great job on the show. All I know is that he had some shirtless online pics that Disney didn't like........what else about him made him a "creep"?

    Yes, "cheap and tacky" is definitely an accurate description.

    2026-2027 Rumor/Leak List - New Year, New Thread!

    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......

    2026-2027 Rumor/Leak List - New Year, New Thread!

    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...

    Star Wars TVC Discussion

    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...

    2026-2027 Rumor/Leak List - New Year, New Thread!

    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.

    2026-2027 Rumor/Leak List - New Year, New Thread!

    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...

    Toy purchase disappointments

    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.

    Toy purchase disappointments

    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...

    Toy purchase disappointments

    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.

    Toy purchase disappointments

    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...

    Masters of the Universe: Origins

    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)...

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    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...

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    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...

    Star Trek

    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.......

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    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...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    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.
