You guys know I loves me some Monster Force, but this line is so oversaturated now that I have to accept my enthusiasm was almost entirely powered by anticipation of Wave 2. It's been a minute since they announced something I was really excited about. Like, O:MF Wave 3 has the Ambassador...

Dang. Player 2 getting his ass beat.

I don't have interest or space enough for a broad collection of Jedi, but I am saving a spot for Sha'a Gi just in case.

Holiday Special 2: The Search for Sen Bolo.

They don't have the guts to do an original Jack of Hearts. C'mon, you cowards!

I guess? I mean, that one figure is 6 1/2", but it also seems like he's a shorter character. I'm afraid I know nothing about Biker Mice. I may've lost the thread, though. Is the theory now that the Star Trek figures are 1/11 scale?

I dunno. Uhura seems about neck-high to Kirk and is the same height as the lady-cow who is neck high to the bull-man next to her. I feel that's a more reliable measure than a red line drawn across a table. But I guess that means confusion does continue, sooo...

I did not know that. It doesn't make me more interested in them, but I get old collectors wanting to be able to continue their collections. Now, if Mattel decides to scale match their DC figures with McFarlane, I'mabe mad.

It IS Declan minus the scar. They're calling it Wave 0 because it's kind of prequel figures to the main line. In the name patches, he has one for "V Helsing" which isn't how that works at all.

I think I have time to see some reviews of Wave 1 before I preorder anything from wave 2. I'm still kind of turned off by the 1/10 scale, for some reason.

If I had to pick just two, I'd say go for the Sleepwalker aerial assault trooper and the Delta Red Nightshade unit. The Nightshade unit can either be Declan OR a vampire soldier (or a non-specific helmeted soldier) and comes with loads of add-ons and accessories to customize it. The aerial...

@Schizm, I think I see where you're coming from and your terms are acceptable.

I've no sequel trilogy figures, but I'm sure ready to get some. Like I said over in the movies thread, I'm less a fan of the films than I am of the characters, but I'm a really big fan of the characters. My movie fig target is typically in the area between movies 2 and 3 because that's when...

Live forever or die trying!!

Since he was the artist for the DC style guide back in the day, he literally defined the look I have in my mind's eye when I think of DC characters.

By "heading up" do you mean designing or modeling the figures themselves? I'm really ready to start collecting some 1/12 scale Legends-adjacent DC characters; is that the kind of stuff he do?

I can definitely see this. It's not a motivator for me personally, but I certainly see it in the success of "toy version" paint schemes and the fact that anyone these days would buy a G1 Optimus Prime. Personally, my nostalgia is for characters, not toys (even when my appreciation for the...

I loved that show and have tons of nostalgia for it. I didn't know I was the only one until the toy line folded. Hence, the surprise.

I'd like to say this is the kind of line I want, but I think this is basically what Four Horsemen are doing and I haven't bought a single one of those yet. It's also how I want Nacelle to handle their Star Trek line. Give us all the known characters, but make the connectors universal enough...

That certainly seemed to be the original goal behind Soldiers of Fortune. Back in late 2023, FMF pitched some SoF designs on their Facebook Page, saying "[O]ur upcoming Soldiers of Fortune 1:12 scale line will be a line of figures aimed at the army builder and customizing communities. " I...

I probably over-trusted some platitudes in a Veebs interview. Pretty sure the designer talked about other, upcoming characters, though.

Given how NECA abruptly stopped making theirs, you're pertinent right. I don't know why, though. 80s cartoons, retro toys, AND D&D are all having a moment. These guys should be hot.

Other takeaways include a more or less official nail in the coffin of Dungeons & Dragons, and an insane argument that Universal Monsters would win in a fight with G.I.Joe. For D&D, I maintain that showing Wave 2 would have helped sales of Wave 1, but now I'm also pushing back on the idea that...

I don't know anything about him, but Nevada Rushmore is cool name.
