Jeffrey Epstein's early rise is so suspicious that I can't help but think he works for some sort of intelligence agency somewhere. Donald Barr gave him his first job as a teacher at a prestigious prep school... for some unknown reason. Epstein was 20 years old and a college dropout. He had no...

@PantherCult I don't think there is anything wrong in wanting what you want. I think Brian at S7 is actually hoping there's a lot of you out there and I think there are to a degree. Personally, I think the modern-retro style can work, and works best with figures like MOTU, Thundercats, and TMNT...

My money is on Ultimates being phased out. It seems like they let go of all of the people responsible for that brand. Their PO model was already resulting in lots of cancelations, and that was before traiffs. I see them putting out the rest of what they had in the pipeline, and re-pressing what...

The world is and has always been a ying yang. It's up to every person to reckon with that as they can. But I find it's best to cultivate and tend to a psychological garden that allows for the greatest amount of internal and external health, which takes a lot of work. Living in a fake world...

I've always been very afraid of those end of time Christians that see Revelations as not just ultimately a positive thing, but something they should bring about toot suite. In which case they'd support an Antichrist not because they actually like and support him, but because they think he'll...

Hell yes to Punisher. I've been holding off adding Frank to the collection until the right one arrived, and this is it.

Saw the movie last night. Still processing. Not entirely sure what my final verdict is. I laughed more than I thought I would, though, and had a great time. I loved Corenswet as Superman and wish we could have a new Lois & Clark series with him and Brosnahan moreso than I maybe want a larger DCU...

If you take naming conventions to its logical end, every thing should have different name. There should be no "wolves" without a Germanic people. Or sword. Or the word husband without Norse. Already, if you say "Gildafegger the Mighty, husband to Borguld, killed a wolf with his sword in the bog...

The 4H are art thieves? This is new to me. Personally they can make skateboard decks, video games, whatever, I don't particularly find that offensive. I'm happy they can be creative and have the support of a community. I'd encourage them to strike while the iron's hot on their brand. It might...

I saw a guy and youtube use Windsor and Newton brush cleaner to strip paint of a GI Joe Classified, but it wasn't face printing paint, if that matters. I agree with Damien, doing a wash of paint might be the best bet. But at the end of the day, unless you already have a set of acrylics...

(somewhat) surprised this happened with a clear window box. At least without a slightly convincing figure in its place

I got into this show when I started getting back into TMNT in general, collecting the NECA figs in earnest and so on. It was a real nice slice of nostalgia pizza. Ultimately the best combination of everything turtles into one piece of media. Made me wish I had kids to share it with, but I did...

Some really really good reveals, not just for this wave, but for what it implies down the road. More articulation, new build sizes. Very excited for gnome scale figures, as well as for more RPG gear. Finally, a fire pit! Clever to design it to fit over a LED votive. Also going to need the mug...

Yeah I should say I normally ship registered airmail, if I’m only shipping one figure. It takes about 2-3 weeks. About $16, so this Cyclops would run me $83.93 total at Nin Nin vs $114 at BBTS. I only ship DHL if I’m ordering more than one figure at a time, so it breaks down to $10-13 per fig...

Not to pick nits, but if we’re doing a 1:1, BBTS is $100+$4 shipping + TAX, which for me is 9.8% Meaning my total is at least $113.80 at BBTS vs $80-$85, which is between $33.80-$28.80 cheaper I don’t mean to get in the weeds, but as a Frugal Freddie who collects imports, this is why I do...

for those wanting to buy him cheaper from the Japanese sites, Bandai almost always restocks after the first wave ships. Like 99% of the time. Unlike MAFEX who may use preorders to gauge production numbers, SHF puts preorders up when production is far along. I think they intentionally under stock...

Good luck, Ryan. It seems like a portion of your job was apologizing and smoothing over and being a human shield for decisions that you did not make or even necessarily agreed with. You sat through a few difficult live streams that most(almost all) companies would have noped out of, and there...

Thanks for these pictures SD. Really cool. This is my first year tabling in AA, I am very excited. And exhausted just thinking about it!

I really really hope they don’t do rereleases with bonus heads/accessories for a little more money. Like, Egon with a variety of expressions, hands, maybe slime deco, and character specific accessories, but no ghost or ghost trap, as a way of double dipping. That may be me being preemptively...

Very excited for the reveals. It sounds like a DnD wave, I can imagine each member of the party will be a specialist, which would be fun. I’m thinking polar bear, too, with the extra head being some sort of mutation or monster head, so you can have a normie bear if you so choose. I keep...

Bandai has been over engineering their figures for the past few years. I dunno why. I can't imagine that gives you really any more useful articulation. It's almost like it's just for an aesthetic they like. Like they like the extra cuts, as if it means it's more premium or something. That...

Damn, so the SHF Marvel rumors are true. I hope they scale well with Legends/MAFEX.

Aragorn just wants his Narsil back, man. It really tied the room together. I was actually thrown a bit by how human the Hobbits looked in the Jackson movies because of my Rankin/Bass childhood. Always thought they were more crittery. I think I remember a person from Toy Vault that worked on...

Cut to me having a weird moment as a kid when I realized the turtles were all basically naked, but almost all of the other mutants wear clothes. Maybe it depends on if you were an animal that turned humanoid vs a human that turned animal? But I think Mondo was a lizard first not a human...

I have not a single MOTU or Thundercats in my collection. Mattel has almost gotten me with their affordable price points, though, and Amazon/Target deals. The Thundercats Deluxe figs have almost gotten me a couple times, but I keep remembering they are S7 and they are such bare bones releases...
