I thought I was going crazy. Acetone is a pretty broad solvent so I was astounded it did nothing!

If I missed the preorder boat on that Frostthroat orc at 5ktoys, 1. are there other retailers? 2. are these generally obtainable upon release, even if preorders sell out? 3. Is eBay hopeless upon release, or do these not appreciate that much? 4. Does Mety Toyz reissue prior figures? Thank you...

Damien's observation might be the best datapoint one can get on Misfit's question because it may not be possible to remove the printed lip paint. I was surprised a few months ago when I tried this on a different face-printed figure. I planned to use the 2nd run movie Shuri for X-men 2099's...

<whistles> Whoo boy, if I were a rich man... The Diversity of Life on Earth Ultimate Sungazer Lizard 1/1 Scale Action Figure https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/323712

Did any figure except Retro card Doom come with the wrist flames effects in green? Need them for a custom but Doom is expensive now!

Thank you, this is what I had to do too.

Mediocre Fallout Lucy figure with a few faces, a few hands, and a dimestore garbage-looking static dog is $59.99 at BBTS. $60 for a McF figure. These toy vendors have gone absolutely insane and this hobby, like so much else under capitalism, is quickly becoming only for the extremely rich.

Amazon says my approval is needed for my delayed Kingpin preorder but also won't let me approve the delay. Every time I try to approve it, it encounters an error.

Ordered a troodon for store pickup at the only Target I could, about 25 min drive from me. Picked it up and noticed in the parking lot that it was scotch taped closed. Plastic ties were intact so I opened it and found the right knee clearly broken and krazy glued in place. Walked back in and...

Prices are getting crazier. Casca is sold out at HLJ at $100 (which will be $120 with shipping) and $120 at BBTS. Crazy expensive for what she is. And Voldemort is $150 at BBTS! Absolute madness.

Same issue for me. If Hasbro is going to grift me by extorting me to pay them $50 a year for the chance to buy their stuff, could they at least make the grift work smoothly?

HE DIDN'T GO AFTER THE GODFORSAKEN HIPS?! That's straight where I'd've gone... Maybe he didn't feel like he had a leg to stand on as that was also a source of breakage on Action Force figures in wave 1. Drop down hips and I have a beef.

All of that wasn't meant to be conflated. Clearly Lenny isn't a billionaire and is an employee. Each example - billionaire, capitalist, powerful scientist, or Hasbro designer who works on a desirable IP like GI Joe - each of these exemplifies someone who gets to carry on doing what they're doing...

I don't think Lenny's silence here constitutes evidence of what you're suggesting it does. If we're positioning him as winner and Vala as loser based on who gets to design namebrand GIJoes, then it is unsurprising that Lenny doesn't respond and it has little to do with his character. In any...

Fair. I didn't know the guy's name, but I do recall there was a wingman in that interview doing much (not all) of the snickering. The rest of your point re: blessing in disguise is an interesting one and may be true.

I forgot about this and it is such a douche move on his part. I remember that snickering interview and thinking what a crappy way it was to treat someone. This makes it worse.

They're for me. I've wanted basic street level brawlers for Batman, Daredevil, Spiderman, etc forever. The goons in suits itch has been scratched but dudes in tank tops (who aren't 7", 'roided up, and wearing kneepads from the WWE) have been harder to come by. I wanted the Street Humans line to...

THat doesn't make much sense to me. It seems they could release a barbarian painted to their satisfaction but less loaded with accessories than their standard releases and if the pricepoint is intermediate to the unpainted buck and the standard releases, so be it.

Does anyone know why there aren't any cheaper barbarian slate figures for Series 2 as there were for Lemurians in Series 1 and are for the fish men in Series 3? Lots of extra barbarian heads, weapons, and armor from these (and from Mezco) for which I'd love to get some appropriate bodies.

Really want Grendel Prime, and hoping he's bulky. He should look like he weighs half a ton.

Which are still absurdly high, especially considering shipping will add another $50 on top to the HLJ order. My point wasn't to single out BBTS's pricing as egregious but rather to generally observe that toy companies have gone off the deepend with pricing. It's almost just standard for a...

$135 for T1000 and $210 for T800/John at BBTS. The toy industry has gone insane.

Received Wave 2. These are some ridiculously nice figures.

Love the Music Man reference.

Had no idea! Thank you, makes more sense then.
