    Hot diggity, that Scarecrow looks good! It may just be the angle, but I don't think he looks too bulky. Just looks like a dude, which is fine by me. I definitely like my Scarecrow a little lankier, but I have no issue with this look either. Love the little evil grin stitched into the mask. I'm...

    They've been more-or-less killing it with the skirts, be they softgoods or soft plastic, so I have faith. I'm surprised they haven't gone back with some of the IG-12 parts and redone IG-88. 12 ain't perfect either- it's just a wonky design that's difficult to translate to plastic- but it's...

    Last Game You Played

    True, and on the off-chance I'm actually playing one, you best believe I'm cranking that difficulty down! 😅 Most of my first play-throughs of any time of game are the Story Mode option, just so I can focus on the story and not grow to hate the game because I suck at it. I can probably count...

    Last Game You Played

    Hadn't heard of Expedition 33, so I looked it up. Sounds interesting, but I just can't for the life of me get into turn-based games, and I never knew why. I guess it's just that part of me that likes instant gratification- I know that if I press X now, it'll do this move and I can block any...

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    I've actually been going to Mercari more and more lately. It does feel like the audience is a bit smaller, but that's why I'm liking it- it feels like it's easier to find the things I'm looking for. Heck, I found an old 3rd party recreation of an old Hot Toys figure that normally goes for...

    Star Wars Black Series

    Not to mention our first on-screen instances of I loved season 1, but I do feel like things were gonna get really interesting in season 2. I really hope we see these characters again in some form, especially Qimir/Stranger. I know we get hints of his backstory, but I really would've loved to...

    Oh heck yeah. I'd take an Ultimate Smoke, Stack, and Remmick at least. I don't really think any company would do anyone beyond them, but maybe Mary. Wouldn't turn down a Slim either.

    I hope it doesn't malfunction and send you into her Sarlaac Pit. Or would that be a good thing in this scenario? Kudos to you! I learned the hard way a couple years back that you really gotta be careful what you put down your kitchen sink if you don't have a garbage disposal, which, here in...

    I personally don't think the height difference is that apparent. To be fair, it doesn't really bother me much (I'll probably just display her with her legs slightly bent under the skirt anyway); that said, I feel like the added height maaaybe comes from her hood/boots? I wonder if swapping out...

    As a Scarecrow super-fan, I'm not against him being jacked, per se. It's happened before- the Legends of the Dark Knight figure, Injustice 2 (though that whole look is just a hallucination, but I freaking love it). I think I'll have to see how the actual figure looks, because those digital...

    Healthy mix of plotting and pantsing for me. I do tend to give myself a barebones framework to go off of, but more often than not I stray from it, because the characters start taking over and wanting something different than the direction I've chosen for them. So I often just let it guide...

    That's a great score! I totally forgot I sold my couple 501st to replace with the new one, but my order for them and the Magnaguard still hasn't shipped. 😅 Remind me next time not to sell my old figures until I have the new one in hand.

    Kudos to you, my friend! Been really trying to get back into writing my novel of late to try and get it published, but one thing or another keeps popping up and distracting me. I did finish a play recently, which had been eating away at me, and entered it into a few local contests, but that damn...

    See, this is why I don't exercise (much). Between my asthma and my unwavering ability to turn any situation into an unintentional physical comedy bit, I'd be in a full body cast in no-time.

    Totally agree. It's not just Star Wars anymore either. My boyfriend is big into some fairly big names in pop music, and hearing how some of these music fans treat each other- the fight for supremacy on Twitter, the fight to see who's the biggest fan, the absolute insane way they act when gates...

    Gotta agree. I've never even seen the movie, so I have no prior bias toward him, but he's a really great figure. Something about him just pops. Really great sculpt, some fun, unique articulation, some colors we don't see often, especially in the horror world. Really an unexpected surprise for...

    Now that's a heck of a list. I'd be down for pretty much everyone mentioned here. Problem is, I'm not seeing a Syril Karn or Kleya mentioned here. Sure, the latter didn't really get popular until this last season so she may not be on their radar, but Syril's been in play since the start and...

    My eensy weensy connection to fame is that my grandpa, who was adopted- his brother was both a teacher and principal at the high school that Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis went to. I know he worked there when Paul went there, and I believe Jason too, but I could be wrong on him. Almost every time...

    When I watched TCW for the first time, we did the chronological order, and it really helped my enjoyment of things. I can't imagine watching things all out of order and being confused on why things are happening and when. It definitely helped my love of Anakin and Obi-Wan that the films didn't...

    Same. No matter how small the part, he always nails it. Really wish we got more of him in Dune. Plus, he's from Overland Park, Kansas, where I grew up, so like with Sudeikis and Paul Rudd, I always gotta root for my hometown homies.

    As a young gay growing up with the Prequels, I can confirm that it was quite a delight seeing both Hayden and Ewan on screen. Not that I wasn't a nerd anyway and just like the franchise/characters, but it was nice not having to pretend to come up with reasons why I wanted posters of Anakin and...

    Huh, well now ya'll got me thinking I may need glasses. 😅 I definitely see it a bit better in the picture, but I don't really see the pupil at all in person. Or maybe I'm just losing the magic of Christmas. Welcome to the hobby! There's nothing more special than sharing it with someone. Not...

    Just saw Orville Peck as the Emcee in Cabaret on Broadway a few weeks back. Granted, it's not a role with any dialogue, and the whole point is to kinda be mysterious and playful, but he did a really good job. There's a few heavy moments in the show that he pulled off well. I'm not entirely sure...

    Most Wanted 1/12 scale figures

    You're kidding yourself if you think they'd save Alcide for wave 4. He'd be at LEAST wave 2, and maybe a shirtless variant for another wave. 😂 In fact, I'm afraid I must knock your list if only for the lack of shirtless variants on the main male hunks. If there was one thing about True Blood...

    I'd definitely recommend giving the Acolyte a try. I didn't love every episode, but overall I really enjoyed it and the interesting questions it posed. It took "from a certain point of view" and ran with it- it's all a matter of perspective. I do feel like, since the show had a couple seasons...
