I think the Poe tease has set me up for a big disappointment. Based on their previous weirdo characters, I was looking forward to colorful characters based on Poe stories like a Raven man or a Red Death. I wasn't expecting just a basic Poe. The props are cool, though. There's even a little...

Aw shit. Nacelle called my bluff. I'd once said Sectaurs wouldn't get a second look from me until they did hand puppet mount bugs, and... Frikkin' hand puppet mount bugs! Time for that second look.

Of the whole set, my eyes are only for that cool tactical pouch harness thing. It's the same thing the Marine sniper has, but in black, and would have looked so awesome on just the plain ol' Valkyries. I'll have to start checking Ebay to see if anybody has parted that piece out yet.

You mean only a couple of days until you have it on order. If you're talking about the Phantom Brigade soldier, they won't have any stock on hand, you just get to order it at a cheaper con price.

Wasn't it, like, the worst kind of early bird? You only got it if  you backed in the early window? Or did I make that up?

Hey, yeah! Thor had even heard of the valkyrie. I wonder what the cover-up story was.

It's more of a personal feeling, so not really a criticism, but I always felt Hela should be Thor's aunt. I guess i assume gods of equal generation should have equal power, and she is way more powerful than he is. I think it would've made sense if she were Odin's older sister who felt she was...

I usually see movies at the much cheaper local Naval base theater, but did see Superman at my local Reading Cinemas. I was a bit confused and couldn't figure out the con for why a large popcorn and soda was cheaper than a medium popcorn and soda. I'm assuming it's so I have to run out to the...

So this might not be the time to announce they're releasing a new theme based around Edgar Allen Poe.

C'mon man, we were having a good time here.

I think what made FMF's long-term reveals different from others is how they spent the intervening years engaging with fans, talking about ideas, and generally being more behind the scenes than other companies. You have to be more plugged in than usual to not feel detached from a 3 year...

I lurv me some Monster Force, but I'm having trouble getting excited about Chatsworth. Not even sure what it's really missing. There's something about the minimalism of "just" a sasquatch with "just" a mini-gun (and donuts) that doesn't integrate well for me. Maybe if they also gave him an...

I'm going to talk completely out of my ass here, because it's only my perspective with no knowledge of anything happening behind the scenes at Super7. I find value in something like an action figure is pretty divorced from the cost it takes to make. It's a combination of how much do I want it...

I just want them to embrace the wider Hasbroverse and give us Classified MASK and Jem.

Just checking my math here, but Blue Falcon and Dyno-Mutt are canon to Scooby-Doo, right? And KISS?

It took me a while, but I finally remembered what Hawkgirl reminded me of.

Ragnarok and Love & Thunder are an interesting contrast to me. Ragnarok has some really high highs and some really low lows, while L&T never seems to reach those extremes. So while Lovin' Thunder is not as good as Ragnarok, it's also not as bad as Ragnarok.

Honestly, there isn't a lot on the DC movie slate that really excites me, but I do admire them for creating a multi-genre fun house. It sounds like they're really intent on giving each movie its own feel, like cop drama or horror or murder mystery. The MCU dabbled in this with Captain...

Over in the Superman movie discussion, @TheSameIdiot called Superman an "altruism fantasy" and it's such a great descriptor that applies to a lot of what I look for in hero movies these days. Maybe when I was younger, it was exciting to see someone be a dick and win, but middle aged me really...

Heh. "Hot mess Supergirl." I was going to say 'Raospringa' but it sounded funnier in my head. I've only seen Millie Alcock in a couple Game of Thrones episodes, but it was enough to get me excited about her being cast as Supergirl. AND I actually like that she cameoed at the end as a...

Honestly, if they did MotUC-adjacent but better articulated, glossy plastic Silverhawks, I'd buy them all over again. Not cartoon-accurate or toy-accurate, I want imagination-accurate.

I'm more of a Flash guy than a Sci-Fi guy, but not for nothing, that removable helmet gives you a start for a New Mutants Cannonball graduation costume since they just stole Sci-Fi's helmet for that suit.

I was okay with that being the status quo at the start of the next movie, it just seemed odd it was never brought up again. Like, not even a gloat from Lex. Unless there was one and I missed it. Or maybe a flip-flop interview from one of the cameos.
