    Most Wanted 1/12 scale figures

    My absolute most wanted figure line would be about the Girls with Guns subgenre of 1980s and 90s Hong Kong action films. These films really do have everything: the craziest fight scenes, the most dangerous stunts, the meanest scowls, and more combat rolls than you've ever seen in your life. If...

    Super Powers

    Something that occurs to me: I just can't figure out what the goal of this line is. I mean, reviving an old line for nostalgia sales with cheap-to-produce figures, that much is obvious. And certainly some character choices speak to that - if you were collecting Super Powers in the 80s, there are...

    Jakks Pacific Simpsons

    I would legit pay the deluxe price for a furious Homer expression if it came with Le Grille. I've got Grampa and he's just fantastic. Shortlist for the best of the 5" line so far. They were going to make her but like, you know, whatever.

    SUMMER OF 4 FT. 2 LISA! OH MY GOD Still hoping to see her in the 5" line, but that's been a main want for me from a Simpsons line forever.

    Realms of the Blacktide Pirate Figures

    I spent a good portion of yesterday morning explaining the history of silk scarves in mod style and what jackets are and are not generally appropriate to pair with them. Every friend that still maintains contact with me has had to sit through multiple Moon Lee films and can begrudgingly name at...

    General Marvel Legends

    Oh, I didn't realize they were doing a Marvel Zombies tie-in thing, I'm so out of the loop on their shows. That makes way more sense.

    General Marvel Legends

    That's a little bit similar to a pretty famous Lovecraftian line: "That is not dead which can eternal lie/and with strange aeons, even death may die." It's a bit of a stretch, but something Dr. Strange-ish like Dweller in Darkness might be a candidate here.

    Sorry, that was a trick so I could corner the market on Iron Spiders. MTG is a ruthless world.

    Marvel Legends Maximum Series

    Incidentally, if anyone's trying to figure out if they can recoup that difference on the included cards, here are a couple of resources. This will show you if they're getting comparative levels of play in the biggest Magic format: https://edhrec.com/ And this will help you keep track of the...

    Marvel Legends Maximum Series

    Magic's such a big area for them right now, between all the IP releases and the popularity of Arena, which has just so much less overhead compared to what they manufacture.

    Marvel Legends Maximum Series

    Guess it would depend on the aftermarket for the cards. If any of them have any utility in Commander, they might be worth a bit. (The Man-Wolf one is trickier to gauge, as it's a reskin of an existing, albeit well-known card that sees some format play.)

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    Makes sense to me. It's relatively new ground, the books have been pretty well received, and it's a full imprint line so you presumably get more longevity than when doing figures of crossovers.

    Star Trek

    I saw BBTS put up preorders for a 1/6 scale figure of Michelle Yeoh, and I was wondering about the likelihood of seeing her show up in the 1/12 line? Is that line just older series and movies? I'm not a Trek collector but I could use a Michelle Yeoh for customs.

    Tracking toy tariffs

    I love Taylor dearly but this is a sacrifice I'm prepared to make for our future. Or we're just not being paid to lose by the same moneyed interests paying the Republicans to win.

    Jakks Pacific Simpsons

    Found the listing, I think: https://www.amazon.ca/Simpsons-Action-Figures-5-Inch-Hoagie/dp/B07KXMHN9C The hoagie alone is probably going to be worth the purchase. And I love when they do such specific episodes or gags as figures.

    One A Day 2.0: Day #163 - Maximus Boltagon

    Dr. Nemesis is great, he's been one of the best character revivals in years. He's a mad scientist mutant who hunts Nazis. He's the most Jeffrey Combs coded character since The Question. A figure is way overdue.

    For some reason my phone always wants to replace "don't" with "Don" and then suggests "Herztfeldt" afterwards. And I swear I don't talk about him THAT much.

    Big Bad Workshop General

    Hey, so I'm just learning about the NPC line. Is there a general idea of when these are going to come out? My Crystal Lake could use a cheerleader and my action film setup could use some bank robbers.

    You get genuine experience and expertise on long-term niche message boards, which is nice. Whenever I look at how a topic I like is being discussed on broader social media, I'm blown away by how little most people seem to know about the things they like. I'm convinced you have to hang out in a...
