    Mattel Jurassic Park Lines

    Target put up the new wave for pre-order. We get 2 of the previously revealed dinos, as well as the Sinoceratops, which is new. They're moving to interchangeable parts for it too, which is cool; a nice middle ground of not having articulated jaws. Looks like the smaller dinos lost their glass...

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    I could be wrong, but I wanna say you can change the duration on offers when you send them. I know I've gotten some that only last a day or two. Though I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it's a case-by-case basis thing; lots of things ebay does just don't make sense. Not to stick up for any...

    NECA - General Thread

    Just for the record, this is what I'm talking about. Original on the left, mine on the right (please forgive the godawful lighting). Neither are bad, per se, but the goat eyes on ol' Krampy definitely feels a bit more unique. Since the goat eyes do have that little bit of reddish orange on them...

    Oh sweet, I'm not the only one! Couldn't really find any pictures myself, but saw it in a bunch of videos. This one was the first that I noticed it- around 4:46 or so, you get a good shot of the eyes with the sideways pupils

    Most Wanted 1/12 scale figures

    Harry Potter did get a pretty extensive line over in the UK, it seems, from the company Cards Inc./PopCo. Obviously, there's even more of an appeal to British kids than to American ones, so it makes sense they'd have a bigger toy market, but still. Such a shame that things became what they did...

    Most Wanted 1/12 scale figures

    My boyfriend actually showed me Fringe a couple years back for the first time. He loved it growing up, and it was his turn to pick what series we watched together. I quite liked it for the most part- John Noble and Michael Cerveris were great in it, though the whole cast was quite strong. A few...

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    I know I should, but I don't really read people's feedback for other sellers, be it on ebay, Amazon, wherever. If I see something I like, I usually just get it. I can probably count the number of times on a single hand that I've had it bite me in the ass. If something is taking a bit long to...

    Also wouldn't explain the running change on the eyes. I don't know for sure, but I can't be the only one who's got them. If anything, they probably sold through their initial supply and started on a new batch. He's a figure I could see taking a while to actually produce- certainly longer than...

    Obviously measles are bad, but we got Tuberculosis and the friggin' Bubonic Plague back on the menu recently, and folks wanna forego vaccines now?! Perhaps I wasn't giving enough credit to the whole "survival of the fittest" idea.

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    Wouldn't say it's a "horror story", per se, but I've had a couple people recently use the excuse that they want to return something because a family member just died and they need the funds back. I think I've had 4 or 5 of those people in the last year or so. Now, I suppose that may actually be...

    Truly terrifying! I'll be sleeping with the lights on tonight! Gotten SO much of this lately, having just put up a bunch of stuff on the various markets. The worst is on Facebook Marketplace; I don't know why I still bother with them. I think I've sold maybe 2 things there in however many...

    Most Wanted 1/12 scale figures

    I'm totally down for a new X-Files, especially after what Coogler did with Sinners. Feels like it's been a bit since we've had a paranormal procedural on the telly (though, admittedly, I never got into Supernatural). I'd be fine with them bringing back Mulder and Scully for small roles here and...

    Most Wanted 1/12 scale figures

    It's WILD to me how hard McFarlane dropped the ball on the Game of Thrones line. That and the Harry Potter lines were guaranteed moneymakers that could've lasted for years if done right due to the huge roster of characters in both franchises. All things considered, the figures were pretty okay-...

    I wouldn't be surprised to see them just drop those aforementioned sets on their store one day, like what happened with the Beetlejuice sandworm and the Alien Romulus Big Chap crucifixion set.

    Having the figures in-hand has me on a bit of a Krampus kick, so I may have to see if I can watch some of the behind the scenes stuff about it. I've always had a soft spot for the movie because, like Nightmare Before Christmas, it kinda combines my two favorite holidays, but I've oddly never...

    Got my BBTS loot yesterday- Metaluna Mutant, Der Klown, and Krampus. What a box of goodies! I quite like Metaluna Mutant. Obviously it's a bit barebones in terms of accessories, but the sculpt definitely makes up for that. To be honest, the NECA figures that are, like, loaded with accessories...

    Sounds like your shelf will have a void either way, then. Regarding that Galactus, apparently they made/are making a 3 3/4 inch Fantasticar as well, and the cross sell on the back shows a 3 3/4 inch team, including Herbie and Franklin, as well as a fully invisible Sue and shirted Thing...

    Galactus Also- anyone else seen Hasbro's Titan series Galactus? Obviously super underscaled- only 14 inches or so, so about the same size as their X Men 97 Sentinels, but still bigger than the Legends, so if anyone just wants some Galactus representation on their shelf and doesn't care about...

    Star Wars Black Series

    That's one of the reasons I stopped paying for Pulse. I just couldn't justify it anymore, especially when they were, ironically, often the last place to get in the figures. You'd think I'd have learned a lesson on patience, but alas, I was never a good learner. Too busy dreaming of toys.

    Not at all! I greatly appreciate your hopes for me! I hope for the same, albeit for probably different reasons than most others here. 😂 Funny enough, most of my friends growing up were girls, so for a short time in high school, people thought I was a total chick magnet and was drowning in...

    Got in Yelena and RG. Definitely the best version of either that's been made so far. Yelena arrived fresh out of a fight, apparently- her arm was halfway off at the bicep and one of her boots doesn't seem to be pushed up as far as the other (unless it's supposed to be that way? I can't tell)...

    Spinmaster Shapes Collection PlayStation Figures

    Worse comes to worse, Figma has their figures for Death Stranding. Only Sam and Cliff so far, but I'd imagine a Higgs is probably pretty likely. Obviously a whole different league price-wise than the Spinmaster figures, but it's something.

    Wonder if that skirt on the Alpha is just for the purpose of the promo images, or if they really did cover him up for the sequel. That Alpha dong was quite distracting. 😅

    Star Wars Black Series

    Got Barriss and Dash from Amazon today and love them both. I'm pretty sure Barriss completes my list of female Jedi I badly wanted but was never allowed to have as a kid because of my Dad's stupid, sexist rule. At least the ones that appeared in the AOTC/ROTS toyline, anyway, which are the ones...
