Catching up: Nekra and Turbo would both be passes. No real attachment to either. Unicorn I'd get if he was in a BAF wave that I wanted to build, but he is low priority for me.

Ugh. I went into that movie SO excited. The sets and costumes in the previews looked amazing, and I was SO thrilled to have the classic Universal Monsters all in a film together again for the first time in decades. I went into that theater with the enthusiasm of a ten year old, and left with the...

I also think that the line may have suffered because of how much shelf space these guys take up. Even with the folded in wings, to have a cohesive display you needed a lot of real estate on your shelf, which many longtime collectors do not. I think some people bought the first couple and quickly...

The good news is, she will likely grow out of it. My dog chewed on EVERYTHING when she was a puppy, and for the first year of her life I was CONSTANTLY prying her jaws open to get out something she shouldn't be eating. I had to make sure any and all figures were nowhere near where she could...

This is such a huge component of why I lost interest in wrasslin'. When I was a kid it was fun and ridiculous, like watching cartoon characters come to life, and I really enjoyed it. I knew it was scripted, and it didn't bother me in the least. When I got into my late teens/early twenties, I...

This. I have to REALLY love a character to upgrade just because it's pinless. I made the decision with this Mystique that I wasn't going to buy her unless she winds up being clearanced at some point. I'll just keep my Walgreens figure on the shelf for the foreseeable future.

But Snake Eyes really does want to hurt you...if you work for Cobra.

Ahhhhh....okay. Thank you!

I'd get the classic 40s look IF I knew we were getting the Invaders and other characters from that era

What the heck is PFP? I'm not hip to this cool internets lingo you kids are using.

I always thought that Leia looked a bit like Harrison Ford in drag. Wondered if it was supposed to be Han & Leia's kid. Like, maybe this was Kylo Ren's real issue...he just wanted to be a Princess like his mom, but the pressure to be a Jedi just got to him? If he'd been able to just be his...

Pass on any version of the Chitauri

MOST of the packs were random, with completely different titles. You'd sometimes stumble across some with the same title together, but those were rare. I even remember a couple of times getting a pack with a title from a different company in there. "Oh cool, this bag has a Marvel Team-Up and an...

Does Steam Roller have a cousin who goes by Cleveland Steamer?

I'm considering getting the Desert Scorpion just for the giant scorpion he comes with. I mean, it would look pretty cool to have Conan fighting a huge honkin' scorpion.

No pies were violated in the creation of this thread

It occurs to me that Hasbro could easily do some Konami X-Men arcade figures and repurpose this one for the brown costume Wolverine. They'd also be able to get some more mileage out of the 97 Cyclops, Storm, and Nightcrawler with some paint variations and maybe new heads. I'd honestly be...

My parents, especially my mom, were always on my ass about dating, possibly because they are hardcore fundies and they were probably worried their theater loving son would be gay. Like you though, whenever I DID date, they absolutely hated her. One girlfriend they were pretty relentless with, to...

No kids that you KNOW of!

Well, since most of my wrasslin' figures I use as victims in scenes with the likes of Jason, I love when they make heads like that, since they legit look more like they are screaming for their lives than about to deliver a beatdown! But yeah, I can see how it would bug the crap out of someone...

Love it when that happens!

Oh man...I used to get these all the time! It was always cool to find out what the middle book would be! I know many family members would give me these for birthdays & Christmas, because it was a cheap way to make me happy! By the way, I distinctly remember getting a three pack with that Conan...

Drag Me to Hell is fantastic! There are some moments in that flick that hearken back to the Evil Dead series, so that sorta gives you an idea of the tone (though all the ED films have some distinct tones throughout). Breaking down Raimi's Evil Dead entries: Evil Dead is a low budget horror...

Oh man...I freakin' LOVE Raimi! Most especially his horror stuff...Evil Dead 2 is one of my all-time favorites! I love the over-the-top horror and comedy blended so perfectly together. Demon-possessed deer heads...we just don't have enough movies with possessed taxidermy!
