I still want a second Stormtrooper. I don't need one. I don't. But having a baddy flanked by them just feels correct. I did get rid of my HYDRA ladies already (only had them because they came with the SHIELD ladies). I might keep my 2 guardsmen, as I feel like they're a slightly more versatile...

I'm having a version of this with a lot of my hobbies right now. I'm making enough money to fund all the things I like to do (because in a relative sense, ttrpgs, comics, and figures are cheap at the rate I collect them), but I don't have nearly enough time to enjoy them. The exhaustion is real.

Sincerely this is where I'd like to be sooner rather than later. I'm due for some more selling this weekend and I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a bunch of SHIELD troopers I bought thinking I'd use them in some large display as army-builders vs some villain or another. I think that ship...

See, to me having to totally disassemble my toy before I can safely move it is a structural, or at least QA issue. Running some hot water over it, ok, I still don't feel like I should need to do that, but it's a quick and minor thing. Totally pulling it apart and putting it back together? That's...

That sounds like a lot of work to enjoy a figure you're dropping a c-note for.

Looks like Ramen is doing more vans. Seems like the channel 6 TMNT van and (I would assume) one that's in Party Wagon colors.

I know I'm just down for one, can't army build what I know is going to be a hard hit to the wallet. Still, such a wild and cool looking figure.

Yeah I think I'm gonna get Rottclw. The dino and such is just too cool.

Stopped by Wallgreens this morning and saw that Baron Zemo, who has been sitting on their shelf for literal YEARS at full price next to original wave Rogue 1 figures (which are STILL full price), they marked Zemo down to $15. I snapped him up. I'd decided I'd only ever get him on discount...

Unless you mean the one next year, Zolo happened at the end of Feb.

Was that the original release date for Mephisto or did he get pushed? I only have Apocalypse in my queue.

OK, so I have not been especially interested in this project as I already had the Ramen Racer and this, to me, looks like a low resolution version of that. That said, I learned today they intend to make the Bandito more modular than the Racer, and have some much wilder add-ons planned for the...

He's half Doctor, half bong!

Feels like about time for us to get the next MTO announcement, yeah?

Zeb seems possible, but that's a larger box so maybe Zeb and a small droid or critter of some kind.

I'm at least interested in seeing more of everything they've got in the pipeline. The only one I have serious qualms about it Cthulhu. Feels too chonky to me, and probably way too big for me to consider picking him up. I'd rather have a star-spawn at around the same scale as the werewolves.

Yeah. LC's price and off/on QC issues keep me from buying a lot more of their stuff. That said, Dogman and Chupacabra are likely to end up on my shelves. Mothman is a maybe, I sort of wish folks would go for a thinner, creepier body plan for him. The toys on this kickstarter I'd snatch up in a...

I honestly don't even think that's especially controversial, it's just that a lot of people (the vast majority being men) simply cannot understand the difference between complimenting how someone looks and what someone is wearing.

Absolutely. I've been doing this more over the past couple of years and the results are fantastic. This is, I've found, 100% about delivery. If you say "you look good in that shirt" the comment scans as being about that person's body. But if you say "I love that shirt!" or "that shirt is so...

Could also be that wave 2 includes characters that were done using more digital effects, meaning they weren't finalized as early in the process, as opposed to troopers rebels pilots, and Mando who would either be largely based on classic costumes or would have been very much finalized far ahead...

Well that's what the 3-point is for. It's to hook the crate to a vehicle. That's the back of the Stinger, yeah? We're definitely getting that gun crate again. What a fun little set.

It really is cool how, albeit slowly, this line is doing its level-best to replicate the diorama playset pedigree of the smaller scale stuff. Obviously there's a hard limit to how much you can do at 1/12, but good grief they've really been expanding about as much as one could expect.

Also I just read Rottclaw's filecard and I love this guy. He's just some asshole who wants to make pet dinosaurs for himself and the only people dimwitted enough to fund him were Cobra. This is amazing lore. No notes. 10/10 character.

The strap is mysterious, but presumably it has something to do with the crate? The crate itself is interesting too. It has a removable top and bottom, it looks like it should fold out, and unless I'm mistaken, looks like it can be connected side to side. I'm assuming it's some sort of weapons...

Not something I'd have predicted, but exactly the sort of thing that I think is cool when lines I'm into do it. I don't have the Rattler so I won't be getting them, but cool idea. Presumably the Joe version is on the way for the Dragonfly? I do want to know more about that case. That case does...
