    I'm not gonna say I'm never gonna buy any DC figures again, because inevitably Mattel will make something that catches my eye (any Scarecrow stuff, probably the new live action stuff, etc.), but I agree, it's gonna take a lot. For as much crap as I give Todd, he really did knock a lot of these...

    juanasamaniego is their name. Hadn't looked before, but they're apparently in Peru; had their account since 2021, but only have 6 feedback scores, though 100% positive. Still, maybe I dodged a bullet anyway. I never have good luck when sending something out of the US, even when ebay takes care...

    Oh yeah, you gotta glue that bow. The glue I had came with one of those little brushes to apply, so it was super easy, and I definitely don't regret it. I don't know why they don't just make it all one piece. I'm sure they could do so without making it too brittle.

    DC Toys on Sale

    Looks like the 2019 Joaquin Phoenix Joker set is down to 180 on Amazon. Definitely tempted by it, but still, all I want is the Joker parts and maybe the chair. Got no use for Murray, the set, or the accessories, and from the amount of them I've seen on ebay, don't know how easy a time I'd have...

    And then there's the secret 3rd option; you've heard of a "face only a mother could love", but what about the "face not even a leopard would eat"? They'll show up with a perfectly intact face, or one made of plastic, and claim the leopard ate their face too just so they can feel like part of...

    I don't know if there really is a set amount. For some people, they just can't comprehend certain evils until it happens to them, but by then it's too late for everyone. Other folks, whether through ignorance, self-preservation, etc., will just double down on their hatred for whoever. They can't...

    Big oof on that one. While I certainly get that shipments go missing all the time- I can't tell you how many times I've had something say it was delivered and either signed for or left at the front desk, when my building only has 3 apartments and no front desk- that one feels a bit too iffy to...

    Star Wars Black Series

    I don't at all disagree. The dang thing is already sculpted, so it feels silly not to include it, but I suppose they wanted to keep some things exclusive to the 2 pack. I feel they at least should've included the dark side head. Yeah, the engineering of the figure is way better than the...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    Good point on the Absolute stuff- I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, but everything about it just screams McFarlane. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear he came up with some of the designs; I'm sure there's some inspiration in there. It feels like he'd have jumped on them by now, but...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    I think I'm most curious as to how the films will be tackled. I can see Mattel tackling some of the bigger films like the Superman movies, Batman Part II, etc., but who, if anyone is gonna give us figures for the more experimental films and shows? Clayface, for instance- I can totally see Todd...

    Almost completely unrelated, but I found out only now, after living in my apartment for over 8 years, that the kinda fancy schmancy private school a block away from my place is the school where Trump went up until 7th grade. Don't know how I avoided knowing that all these years, but I wish I'd...

    I admittedly did love Majors as Kang too. Shitty person or not, the man can act. I know the whole hullabaloo around him probably soured the character in Marvel's eyes, but I don't think the right thing to do was to just erase him. There are so many talented actors of color working in Hollywood...

    That's odd. They're still showing up as 35 for me. You're looking on the MTS store? But in general, yeah- I know those promotional emails are scheduled in advance most of the time, so there's no way to know how available the thing will be come release, but it always seems to happen, and always...

    Been in a bit of a rough spot emotionally today, so much so that I didn't even get around to opening Qimir, but he does look pretty darn good through the window box. The likeness isn't 100%, but it's definitely passable. Most folks will probably display him with the helmet on anyway, so not sure...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    I don't know if it was ever confirmed, but I could swear that I read somewhere that that was the original plan. Then apparently they wanted to make it so that people could get them even if they didn't get the whole wave. Which, ironically, didn't quite pan out. But I guess it's the thought that...

    Would appear so. Saw a few people think that meant that the PCs were coming with a Penguin. Obvious for those of us who've been in the know, but with as oddly handled as the drop was, if you only saw a picture of the box, I can see how you'd think so.

    Sigh. I don't even know what I believe anymore, and I hate that I really am starting to sound like a conspiracy theorist. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.

    Agreed. Granted, as someone who was raised Catholic/Christian, even I think the word basically doesn't mean anything anymore, but even among Christians- even among crazy Christian Nationalists, he's probably not even top 10 people who represent the brand the best, so what's the deal? Like, it's...

    The Chatty Pointless Thread

    Made my first ever music video edit the other day. Just arranged a bunch of pre-existing clips along to a pre-existing song, so I guess it's more of a "fancam"? Do people still use that phrase? Anyway, I had a lot of fun. Been wanting to pick up editing for a while- I'm pretty crappy at it...

    Good on AOC for having the guts to not give in to this whirlwind of madness. She's not perfect, but I tend to like most things she does, and if nothing else, I respect her for having the balls to be blunt and honest about a lot of things. It really is just so mindboggling that all of this not...

    That's riiiiight. Don't know if I ever saw that Catwoman in stores, so I forgot about it, but I did have both Penguins- they made one in the last wave or two of the Multiverse rebrand way back when. Don't know if anyone has seen photos yet- they seem to conveniently obscure the left hand in...

    Got Morph and Sunspot in today, and with as hot as it was outside, Sunspot definitely lived up to his name. Letting the plastic cool a bit before I rip these bad boys open. Got shipping notices for Cable, Emma, and Jubilee, due to arrive Monday, so since I skipped Logan for now, I'm all caught up.
