I got the old “processing soon” email from BBTS for this wave. Well, all but White Queen and Sunspot (who I didn’t order). I assume Emma will follow soon. I’ve got a couple items in the old pile of loot so I’ll probably ship when these arrive.

I would assume the turtles will be up at Target at some point too. Maybe when they're in-stock. NECA fulfills all of those orders unless Target bought inventory (they haven't done that in awhile) directly so there's nothing to sell until they have them in their warehouse. I'm hoping by "Q4" they...

He's definitely a pretty bright yellow. I have the '92 VHS Wolverine and I'd say the yellow on Gamerverse Wolverine is a touch more saturated making him appear even brighter than that one. I don't think he's going to "work" for most comic displays aside from those who are flippant when it comes...

Would be cool if we could get Ryan to do an AMA right here. I bet he's still around all of the toy spaces lurking about. Wouldn't be surprised if he shows up on Robo's channel or with the Toy Anxiety crew at some point if he's making the rounds.

I don't like ordering through them either, but I also don't like having to hunt these down at Target. I think these will be a little harder to get than some of the more recent offerings so I'm happy to just be done with it. Now I just hope they deliver.

The turtles are up on NECA's website. It will cost you $190 to get all four plus Shredder to qualify for free shipping. Shipping in Q4. https://store.necaonline.com/products/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-2012-cartoon-ultimate-leonardo-donatello-michelangelo-raphael-7-scale-action-figure-bundle

Yeah, it's mine. Been messing around with him today trying to find my favorite crouch for the shelf, but I keep playing with him instead.

Respectfully disagree there. I think the ability to rotate within the torso and at the waist (without it looking ugly, as well) lends itself well to poses the old Wolverines can't hit like being able to lead more with the shoulder. The Astonishing one can probably do a similar pose, but it can't...

Professor X with hoverchair is down to $33 at BBTS. A good body for that Gyrich head coming with X-Men 97 Morph, plus you get a chair! https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/85974

There's often some kind of tax incentive or other monetary reason for a move. Or simply the cost of rent. Hard to imagine how MA would be cheaper than RI, but they probably wouldn't bother unless that were the case. Not sure exactly where the new HQ is, but I've worked with a lot of people who...

Week 2 of the 2025 season is apparently the week when several quarterbacks went down. Burrow, McCarthy, Daniels, and Fields all suffered injuries this week. McCarthy is out for the next couple of games (he may benefit from a reset, he was awful on Sunday) while Burrow needs surgery on his toe...

I'm guessing we'll see this torso setup start to show up more often, but like everything with Hasbro, it's a slow roll. Wolverine's box mate is a perfect example of that. I just remain surprised we didn't see it with Maximum Spider-Man - I wonder what the next figure will be that does go for...

I think I've only watched one or two 3POA podcasts and found them insufferable, so I think I'll pass. Reading these write-ups (thanks altcunningham!) just leads me to believe this was probably something Ryan wanted to do while employed just to defend himself/the brand, but probably wasn't...

I received a Premium Bandai shipment last week that arrived tariff free. The figure was manufactured in Vietnam, so Bandai presumably owed 20% on the item to the US which would have been $18 if assessed at MSRP. I suspect it was less than that, but all things considered, I'm happy they didn't...

Details are emerging about the treatment of the workers from South Korea by ICE now that they’re home, and to no one’s surprise, they’re awful. In a healthy democracy, members of the legislative branch would be hounding the executive branch about this.

Pats/Dolphins had a wild one today. I love the new kickoff rules as we had a punt return TD followed by a KO return TD and that sort of thing had been all but eliminated from the game. Both teams were sloppy though and the defenses had a tough time. For the Patriots, they could not cover Miami’s...

I would say “TBD.” Depends on if they’re doing multiple SKUs like they did with Ghostbusters. More likely than not, there will be ample time to order and once the window closes they’ll be available in some form at other retailers.

May 2025, but he’s reflecting back on his time at Hasbro so whenever that ended. It’s on his YouTube channel.

I think it’s simply just a choice to not carve out anything from the chest. The shoulder pad could stay right where it is with a butterfly joint, but if they were concerned about it warping then they would just peg it into the shoulder. Bandai and Medicom combine ball-jointed shoulders with...

It’s funny how they seem to only have two methods or doing things: announce a preorder where delivery is 14+ months away, or do an in-stock sale with almost zero promotion leading up to it. They could, you know, show off prototypes at these things called trade shows and conventions to drum up...

Yeah, or that’s what Bobby Vala claims. He did a video about it earlier this year.

Ball peg shoulders provide extra range vs a more common ball-hinge, but aren’t a substitute for a true butterfly joint. It is largely a matter of aesthetics. I don’t mind trading the cuts in the chest for less range in this instance. He can still get his claws in front of his face if you like...

Yeah, I looked more closely at mine and the swirls are more pronounced on his boots. There’s also more excess plastic from the molds than usual with my set. Silver Samurai has it on one of his shoulder pads and one of Wolverine’s middle claws has it around the tip. I’ll have to trim them with a...

My Silver Samurai has those cut marks on his chest as well. They’re not actual cuts as there’s no mark in the plastic, but I don’t think whatever it is was put there on purpose. He’s pretty mediocre, but I do like this Wolverine quite a bit. I don’t want to see another one with an ab hinge or...

Hah, I must have missed it. Seems like he was this color in stuff like video games and toys, but definitely not in the show. For my own sanity, I went and watched a typical episode that takes place at night and one from when they were at the farmhouse. If anything, he's portrayed even lighter in...
