    Last Movie Watched

    Damn, dude. That's impressive. I was only 10 in '82 so I was out on Blade Runner, Thing and Poltergeist (my parents thought it looked too scary — saw it a couple years later on HBO and they were right). I still had ET, Tron, Star Trek II ... and Megaforce! I had to see them one day at a time...

    Star Wars Black Series

    Yeah, I feel like I already hemmed and hawed over Dash and decided to pass. That head just throws it too far off for me. But I'll be there for Barriss.

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    That's the great thing about going to an event with 4H — most of the stuff they have available is the same price it was during the preorders, in my experience anyway. Kalizirr was $50, with no tax or shipping ... Haven't noticed any paint issues but I usually get them into a pose I like early...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    You may get lucky. They actually received a bit more figures than all-in orders from the first shipment and a few of the partial orders are starting to ship. I received a shipping notice yesterday for the undead head pack, Sir Enoch and Berodach. Which was a very pleasant surprise. It made up...

    Star Wars Black Series

    How about $109.99? As Spinc pointed out above. That's what Preternia has posted, too. God help me I don't think it's that crazy of a price considering those sweet Mustafar pieces — and by and large, I've been pretty down on most recent Star Wars offerings. Barriss looks really good too. I...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    My brother received this for Christmas in '88. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. It was like a leg-less AT-AT with a lot of cool stuff to mess around with. The vehicle bay was the best. I'd have to put a Classified-scale version in my backyard — and I might do it given the chance! And...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    The Walmarts around me all seemed to get a case of that wave toward the beginning of April. I grabbed a Leatherneck since I hadn't preordered him. Nothing since till the retro CC/Cobra trooper wave started popping up a few weeks ago. Target seems to have given up on Joes altogether. The last...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    Pure speculation, but I wonder if airing a stream showing off the police officer's shield and riot gear in light of what's happening in LA made some folks nervous. It would impact the preorders as well, I assume. Edit: Whoops — didn't see docsilence had already mentioned it.

    McFarlane Toys General Video Games (Fallout, Diablo, etc.)

    Not sure if this belongs in video games but it looks like this line is gonna encompass a lot of different stuff. This was announced today and as a huge Fallout fan, I like what I see so far. The armor looks pretty detailed from what we can see. And I believe there's a laser gun and a plasma gun...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    It's definitely a good deal on the Stinger. I was hoping for $65 or less as I mainly want the driver, but the sales have really started to pick up this weekend. Decisions, decisions. I also received the Blowtorch arrival date email. Cannot wait. He's probably my most anticipated preorder at...

    Dark Universe Park 2-Packs

    Right, right. When I think of Dark Universe, my mind goes to that weird publicity photo with Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Russell Crowe, etc. I actually kinda forgot about Luke Evans (who's not in the photo) and Dracula Untold.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    The Stinger might hit $60 on Amazon today — the price has incrementally been dropping the past day or so with barely anyone taking advantage of the original "limited time deal." The price just dropped another 50 cents or so sometime around 9:30 a.m. and is sitting at $69.98. I'm waiting till...

    Infinite Legions from Four Horsemen

    Yep, I'm definitely in on these. The two-pack for $85 is a pretty good deal. I really like the "chunkiness" of them and the alternate heads came out great. I'm having trouble getting the Instagram posts up here but here's a look at Phanost and Pheyden

    Dark Universe Park 2-Packs

    Yeah, those are interesting. I know there's the Universal Park thing but are the designs based on what was supposed to be released? The Dracula figure looks like Johnny Depp (at least the toy does.) I don't see Javier Bardem in that Frankenstein, though.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    I was wondering, too if the hints might be a swerve, but I couldn't come up with anything. Maybe the Cobra Wolf (which was actually bigger than the Snowcat) but it breaks up the Joe/Cobra pattern. And you're right about the Rattler, it was all pretty straight forward. Also, good call on the...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    It depends — did you pick up the regular Cobra Commander retro release? I've actually been seeing him and the Cobra Trooper a bunch at Walmart the past couple weeks. He's a great version of CC and I love the pointing hand on him. And Ru1977 — I just looked up what a Darkling Lord was on Prysmos...

    Inart 1/12 DC Figures

    Bombusbee just notified me that Batman's about to arrive and I have to pay up. Thankfully shipping is reasonable, too — $15 for air, which is covered by the deposit I already paid. So far, so good.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    Welp, about 3 hours after I said I didn't see the MMS selling out on Amazon anytime soon, it's sold out. This is why I don't gamble ... I gotta believe it's all about Hawk.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    Yeah, thanks everyone, I missed that. Great news. Flash has gotta pop up one of these weeks. Maybe Sci-Fi! And is that pretty much confirmation that the Haslab is the Snow Cat?

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    Like many others, I never had any desire for Budo until the renders and action shots appeared. He was the only thing I preordered today. As much as I want Hawk as part of the OG 13, I couldn't pull the trigger on the MMS on the same day the Stinger is sitting at 24% off and barely moving from...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    Basically, it's gonna be 4H's take on characters from other properties. First up is Glyos' Pheyden. This is a 4H response from an IG question — "these are built using the LEGIONS Build System. The whole point of Infinite Legions is to bring outside characters into our system and create toys...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies and Streaming Series Discussion

    I figured that was coming. I thought it was gonna happen in season 1, actually. I wonder who the woman masked up in red is? Or is it just a set worker worried about catching something? Looks like the same type of covering as WT, just in red. And Fletch's description of Brave New World is spot...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe Figure Discussion

    I don't know what to make of those. They look like cake toppers. Were they really listed as Marvel Legends?

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    That's a big improvement. I was never a fan of those sunglasses. It's the only thing I didn't like about the set — two things, actually, I wish you could use the two hats (or at least the boonie hat) with the darker head.

    Roboskull MKII/Skeletron

    This is the Kickstarter that just keeps on giving. He's amazing. I can't wait to see how good the finished product's gonna look. I'm really interested to see how these 6-inchers look in hand.
