And it's called "Wild Ride"

I just discovered that the magic wand and shackles displayed next to Edgar Allen Poe are not for him, but rather a tease for the next member of the Raven Society. I would've guessed Harry Houdini, but they weren't contemporaries. Unless Poe's final days involved time travel and we really are...

My Gen Z son is really interested in the Agent Anti-Venom, but knows how scorched Earth Magic collectors are. He believes there will be real competition for these. I countered that it might be an opportunity for profit, but we'll see.

She was very clear that there was no policy against it, which was really good to hear. She specifically said there was nothing inherently problematic about a guy in a hood, and many of their licensees use that look in their products. I was hoping to get a gage on any enthusiasm from Lenny and...

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, another highlight from the panel was their position on "reissue" of HasLab items. From memory: 1. Never in the same color as the HasLab 2. The HasLab version is the premium version. 3. Always cheaper than the HasLab it came from 4. Never again as a HasLab. I...

Is that a thing? That's pretty cool. I'd assume start-up figure makers would be in direct competition. There's only so much collector money to go around. A Plunderling sale is money not being used for an Animal Warrior, so to speak. I'm sort of happy I'm wrong about that.

I'll give a pass to Captain America fight scenes which benefit a lot from Chris Evans' acting skills. I mean, you know he's going to win, but he's so good at making it look like *he* doesn't know if he's going to win. He looks like he really has to work for it. Except when he doesn't, when he...

Inside of me lives two bears. One has wanted a graduation uniform Cyclops since I started collecting Marvel Legends; the other doesn't care for the softness of design that comes with animation figures. I wish he had more dynamic boot cuffs and flared gloves and didn't come 2-packed with a Jean...

Not for nothing, an old "Space Force" Kickstarter by Amazo Toys randomly and hilariously included head options for a bunch of presidents including Reagan. I'm unclear what the connection between the companies is, but Fresh Monkey Fiction would eventually go on to fill those orders and add some...

I exactly know what you mean. It's too perfectly choreographed. You can get away with it a bit by claiming the Jedi's prescience allows them to always have the perfect block for the perfect strike, but on the surface the duels never seem like anybody's ever at risk until the final blow. The...

100% George Lucas' God-given super power is the ability to recognize talent. I'm not saying he started their careers, but you don't accidentally assemble Harrison Ford, John Williams and Ben Burtt.

Bruv, there are some videos out there of Nick Gillard's original choreography for that scene and it's epic. The story goes that, on the day of shooting, Lucas decided he wanted 60-year-old Ian McDiarmid to do all the fighting himself. You know, for the acting. So they had to come up with some...

That was me! The whole reason I went was to ask about a hooded Commander.

Good, I can stop taking notes.

Anybody else sitting in the Classified panel with me?

Sadly, I'm at an age where my back hurts just from reading that.

I imagine a deep set dio below hip level would be hard to see. Unless you take out the shelves and make it all one open box. Like, a Castle Grayskull and a bunch of flying vehicles around it. Hmmm...

Thanks, bro, but spoilers not needed. I've seen the shows, it's just been 30 years and they're all foggy memories.

Guys! Pump the breaks. My post-80s Star Trek rewatch is still working its way through TNG's Season 4. I'm only one episode behind on Strange New Worlds, though. My opinion on the show are really swingy, though. I really like a lot and I really hate a lot and there isn't much in between. I...

I considered it but I don't have three shelves worth of big things. The backing is just trapped in a groove, though, and can slide out if I want to expand.

That literally just happened to me while setting up my Silverhawks shelf. I noticed Copper Kidd's hip disk was missing. I was moving furniture looking for it before I started going through all the unorganized bits bags in the closet. It was literally in a bag on top of a box at chest level...

Tonight's SDCC panel revealed Waves 3 and 4 I'm fully on board with Wave 3, and even Wave 4 has me interested in at least a Capt. Sisko. Having an entire bridge crew, in their standard looks, completed in a single wave is a bold choice, and I'm glad they made it. I hope they see great...

Thirty minutes ago I was almost certain to pass on the Tick figure (despite being a big fan of the comic), but one Chairface later and I'm all-in. Madman was another one of my few non-mainstream comics as a young man, so I'll be giving him a good think as well. Now if they did a 6" Scud, the...

Yawn. I sort of dig what Gridiron Studios makes and have a couple of their weapons on my shelves, but I checked out when they started putting their logo on everything. But I guess they did the smart thing and made Gridiron an "in-universe" arms dealer, so now it makes sense to have a shot...

In a thread I can't find, I mentioned a plan to use a half-Billy to give me more surface area for a vehicle display. Someone whom I can't remember said they'd be interested in seeing it when done and... it's done(-ish) Still needs some tiers cut for the lower shelves, but the point is they...
