    Figura Obscura

    Hey Norm, from an eMail they sent out yesterday: "We will do 2 sale drops for this figure – one tomorrow and the second a few weeks from now. The first drop will be at 9am EST tomorrow (4/19/25). The majority of the stock we have for this new Figura will be offered in this sale, BUT we are also...

    SHF Star Wars

    There's always a subjective debate about likenesses, but I love what SHF does, for the most part. Sometimes they are a little stylized, and sometimes they do miss the mark, but I find they almost always look better in your hand, with natural lighting conditions, and less than an inch in size...

    Figura Obscura

    Hmm, I think your memory is actually correct on that one, my mistake!

    Figura Obscura

    It's a bittersweet aspect of the line. My want list stretches literally from here until long after I'm dead. And seeing that I'm younger than the 4H guys... At the same time, each drop is so special and cared for. I like that they come out one (sometimes 2) at a time instead of a wave. Figura...

    Figura Obscura

    I think you all guessed correctly, and it's Ganesha. I'm stoked and likely in for him pending final product reveal (which will likely be incredible.) I don't think an action figure from a living religion is taboo necessarily, especially if it is well made and reverent like this one likely will...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    It was I who had a droopy moose head (not an innuendo) BUT - after being in storage, it fixed itself. So what gives? I realized that the head drooped in the summer. It must have been too hot in my office, possibly. The joint in question was the ball joint that directly connects the head to...

    U.S. Politics

    I wouldn't necessarily agree with that, Wicker_Basket. We don't live in a binary world, but we are forced into a false dichotomy with only two viable political parties, one representing something completely antithetical to Palestine's survival. Trump literally wants to turn it into resorts and...

    U.S. Politics

    You can just go and read Garcia's wikipedia page--his story is so clearly sympathetic--and come to the likely conclusion that at the very very very very very least he should just be let out of prison. Most people would say he should be let back into the country to live with his family. Now they...

    NECA Mirage Comics line

    Ugh, I've wanted a Mirage style normal (not battle damaged) style Shredder in the maroon for ages, BUT NOT LIKE THIS! Absolutely no use for the shirtless Shred, except to use his head on the kitted out body for an unmasked look. I'm starting to doubt they will ever release the normie 1.0 maroon...

    S.H.Figuarts General Anime (Dragon Ball, Naruto, MHA, etc.)

    Enigmatic - Misfit summed it up pretty well, but I will say some of the $35 releases have felt cheaper. The plastic tends to be shinier, much more likely to get stuck joints or loose joints. I had a SS Goku snap on my and I'm a pretty careful handler. That said, other $35 range figures I have...

    Marvel Legends Maximum Series

    I'm hoping for a Maximum Cap, so I can get that diaphragm balljoint to throw his shield. But they also just released Secret Wars Cap... so unlikely, maybe, depending on what their strategy is. Wolverine, Punisher, DD, Black Suit Spidey, Thor, Iron Man and Cap would be the most likely to get...

    Cosmic Legions

    I'd love for Mythic/Cosmic to put out more heads more often, especially as single releases, like the dwarf head they separately released for the Mythic viking wave. That one is going for $10 at BBTS, which is a great deal IMHO. My opinion/tastes only, but I think they struggle with normie...

    Tracking toy tariffs

    Really sucks. I feel terrible for toy retailers. I think BBTS's way of handling it is the best. But this is of course lose lose all around for (almost) everyone. At least the extra tax each collector will have to pay out of pocket on their figures will go to a government service that will--oh...

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    I work full time as a freelance artist in the animation and comics field, and probably about half of my friends, including my closest ones, are artists and/or also into alternative or arts culture. So it's not abnormal to have a toy collection or to be funky or unorthodox in my little world. I...

    Neca Dungeons and Dragons

    Picked up Elkhorn, finally, to use as an accessory kit for my custom Mythic Legions dwarf. He's seriously worth it for the kit he comes with alone. I'll be selling the figure itself, but might get a couple more for the backpacks. I'm a sucker for adventuring party gear. Legions has a lot of...

    Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

    I was going to pass on the first Red Sonja but the reviews are swaying me. She looks like she'd get by in a Mythic Legions display, and I'm slowly building out a custom party. If I pick her up, I might go for the Steampunk one, too, for a similar use, and kit her out to be a bard for the...

    NECA '87 Toon TMNT

    Thanks for tip about the helmets, Misfit, I'll pay close attention. I think he's my only pickup from this Haulathon, but I haven't been too inspired to go hunting. But needing to check in person gives me a reason to get out. I get a boost of nostalgia every time I take out my toon Shredder...

    We are 100+ over 4k! Everything has been unlocked, across the board! Congrats to 4H and all who backed. 🐉

    Figura Obscura

    For Christmas, I'd definitely take an elf two pack to go with Santa, maybe with a reindeer or snowman but TBH the Fresh Monkey ones will probably do the trick. A Jack Frost snow villain character, yes to Nutcracker characters like the Mouse King/Soldiers/Nutcracker himself. A (bad ass) angel...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    I went all in for the big guy. Super excited. It's going to perch on the bookshelf behind me and will be in all of my work skype meetings. At least until my coworkers start calling me Khaleesi 😅 Will be watching the progress today. I think we're going to hit 4k. Personally, I don't care much...

    Tracking toy tariffs

    NPR posted an article about the elimination of the de minimis tax loophole of import goods from China and Hong Kong. For those that aren't familiar, it's a loophole that allows sites like Temu or Aliexpress to send goods directly to a shopper, and if the item/s are under $800 they don't get...

    Just came over from the Fwoosh and wanted to say thank you for everyone who helped set this up. I hope Fwoosh can get back online, but for me, at least, it's been bugging out for a long time. While I was able to log in and post, the website itself was littered with an explosion of pop ups and...
