    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    No, you're right. I think his Joker is just OK and there there are other aspects of the movie that are not flawless. Still, the whole movie, for me, is iconic, warts and all.

    Gotta go back to these one more time since I'm at work and both just happen to be in my teacher's nook in my classroom. That WW picture was done by a 4th grader! Had to frame it.

    That's exactly what I had from that line, still have them. Added some more as an adult including Wonder Woman. Todd's Invisible Jet really is a great addition if you have her.

    The Story of Your Toys

    I recently got Randor because my wife's friend had a box of old toys he didn't want and Randor and MOTU movie Blade were both in there, got them for free. I've had Sorceress for a while, he leg band was tight enough, but the legs went off in wonky directions, she couldn't stand. Her innards...

    The Story of Your Toys

    I've been replacing MOTU leg binders here and there for a while. Not the fun and straight forward process that replacing a GI Joe O-ring is. Most are a tedious process, one was super easy (King Randor), and one was an absolute nightmare that I never want to do again (Sorceress).

    I need to track down a couple of those crossovers, particularly Punisher/Batman. (I love the idea of a Jubilee/Robin romance).

    The Story of Your Toys

    Hell yeah! I hung out with a girl who put my figures in some suggestive poses, she thought it was hilarious. But it was all just in fun. She wasn't sending any hidden signals that I missed out on. Nah. Nah......I'm sure of it......... This was the same girl who, in the early days of AOL...

    The conclusion to Hush 2 is pushed back to next year. Jesus. I just need to go trades only. Problem is the LCS I pull my books at doesn't do trades, only singles, and I want to support them. Well.....support them as much as I can, at least, with my pull list of like 3 books a month.

    I too feel Nicholson Joker is not completely off the table, but I also know you all are right. It won't just be something you can order on BBTS if you want it. These figures that there is some kind of buzz surrounding are the ones that Todd is going to abuse us with. I knew Schreck was going...

    Will the Penguin from the Duck have two flippers? We're jumping through the maximum number of hoops here. If MTS had Schreck, that could be the one-stop-shop, but no. This line would be more fun if not for the ego of the guy in charge. I won't miss him.

    The Story of Your Toys

    For you and everyone else. The most important action figure of the last 25 years. Modern action figure collecting is what it is today because of that figure.

    The Story of Your Toys

    Great shelf. I love Rogue too. I almost pulled the trigger on that Mondo version. I got my 90s Toybiz Rogue at a comic convention in the early 90s. I was 13 or 14, something like that, and I had discovered the art of haggling. But I wasn't smart enough to understand that it doesn't usually...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    That's where I'm at. This is what drove me away from Trouble Bubble Tele Viper (and holding out paid off with a 10/10 retro card version). I'm fine with African American/caucasian alt heads, but if you have exposed skin other places it gets problematic. I don't know, I might end up getting...

    The purpose of this thread is to post about toys in your collection that you have a special attachment to. Vintage or modern. Whether it's on display or in a box in storage. Whether you've had it for decades or you finally got it last week. Whether it's in mint condition or a beater. Tell...

    I might have a bit of a problem here. See, Todd's stuff usually goes up for preorder at 10am central (my time). On Fridays at that time I am taking my 4th graders to all-school Mass. I have little hope that the three standard figures will last the 60 minutes let alone the Schreck red...

    If he doesn't run out of time with the license you can bet on Absolute figures.

    Honestly, if the hands situation does get completely botched, I'm going to break out the sculpy.. Yeah, better idea to put the neck joint at the base of you HAVE to have one. It broke up the sculpt on the 89 version too badly.

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    I think the figures themselves all look pretty good and I'm excited for them in that regard. It's just the fact that we have to deal with Todd's SOP that makes me apprehensive. The availability, the haphardness (why one human hand on Penguin?), and the fact that these are $35 a pop (if I order...

    Sigh. Schreck is a red platinum. GameStop exclusive on the 19th, Target and Walmart "at some point" in October. I was afraid Todd was going to play games with this guy specifically. At least it looks like we'll get a chance at 3 different retailers, I was just hoping to go to BBTS and get...

    I was very excited to see this, then about 5 minutes in someone online lets the air out of my balloon: Look at that left hand!!! FIVE FINGERS? But then the right one looks like it MIGHT be a flipper? So what's going on? Guess I have to wait and see the full reveal. Jesus, Todd, can you...

    MAFEX DC Figures

    I love that no matter which company you're talking about, whenever there is a new Batman figure, there are automatically two versions of it, a blue and grey and a black and grey.

    General Marvel Legends

    Cardiac first appeared just as I was getting into super hero comics. I love the design, love the character. One would guess this is not a character you could easily phone in, so baring any major Hasbro snafu, I'm all-in when that figure drops.

    Another McFarlane multipack strike out for me today. Went to Target to pick up the guns Batman/ Killer Croc 2 pack. I thought I'd at least price match the GameStop price which is $10 less even though that would still be far from a good price. No go. They said they only match prices for...

    Mini Comic Wave 2

    Hasbro shocked the hell out of me by sculpting Psylocke's costume so if they don't reuse her for Electra, I don't know that it gets a reuse at all (aside from the obligatory retro card reissue.) Deleting the sold out figures from the group shot is standard for BBTS. They typically pop back in...
