There's a massive difference between Star Wars character names and Mythic Legions, despite them both often being word and mouth puzzles. Star Wars, and most franchises, started as media. So of course you grow to like the characters, as the characters and their story is what they're selling...

The Origins figures are real improvements on the vintage figures, at least articulation wise. I think that kind of approach is the best. Just dusting off old molds and re-releasing them holds no water with me. Or like the Nacelle Sectaurs, just adding a couple joints, just doesn't cut it. I...

I love my lizardmen so much. My favorite line from last year. I love how satisfying the swapping parts is. The secure pop the joint make when re-attaching is great. I had preordered some fishmen via the KS but after how satisfied I was with the lizardmen, I preorder more fishguys via the...

Spinmasters just put out 5poa Superman: The Movie figures. $7.99 at Target. If that doesn’t tell you Reaction figures are priced way too high, I don’t know what will. It’s not like Spinmasters is producing those figures in factors higher than Reaction figures.

I really wish Nacelle had made Sectaurs with modern articulation. Adding only a couple of joints does scream modern to me. That said, these mounts are tempting. Loved them as a kid. Haven’t compared these new ones to the originals but something seems off about the dragonfly one. Like it’s...

From my understanding...the reason food companies switched from using real sugar to corn syrup is...greed by the corn industry. A corn farmer developed high fructose corn syrup. And then lobbied government to increase tariffs on imported sugar, so he could sell his new product. Domestic...

Agabyss has been around for a few years. I think I ordered the first Snake-Eye & Timber set from them. They're legit.

The classic deluxe Thanos came with the open mouth head and an old-man Thanos with a high crown. He didn't have a closed mouth, or even normal smirking head. One of my pet peeves of the figure. I'd like if this Gamerverse Thanos came with an alternate normal crown head, non-open mouth head...

There's a product page for the Cold Slither set on Pulse. It states: I don't believe any of the other SDCC exclusives have page listings. So I'm guessing only the GIJoe one has early access during SDCC for non-attendees.

My Pulse membership expires 7/31. I think the SDCC exclusives will be going up for sale online 8/1. Cold Slither looks to be going up for Pulse members this Thu 7/24 with a "regular" preorder on 8/1. Wouldn't surprise me to see the other SDCC exclusives all go up for sale 8/1. So I may...

My sketchbook Sy-Clone arrived today. I never really cared for his vintage design, as I find it a bit busy. I like the look of this sketchbook version. Maybe not as Sy-Clone, but as some space cop. Robocop meets Nexus. Pretty cool.

Is that how the Howling stand works? I do wish the figure had peg holes in the feet. I realize it wouldn't stand on its feet without some other support, but I think peg holes could have helped. I just kinda had the figure standing in front of the stand w/pole and it stayed standing. The...

Different styles for the turtles are fine. Not everything is for everybody. These are a bit too ripped and superhero-y for me. It does seem like maybe they sized up the heads a bit from initial pics. The thick ripped bodies accentuated the small head size in my mind. Granted, I may be...

1/12 would definitely be my preferred scale. But I also like those MOTU Origins style Conan figures they're making. How they handle the coat intrigues me. Hellboy kinda needs his jacket in my mind. I'm also a bit skeptical regarding the sturdiness of the figures. BFS stuff can be a...

I remember them initially showing off Chatsworth, which used the Memory toys warrior bear body. Looks like they made a new one for Chatsworth. He's neat, but I'm not sure if I want him. The whole Monster Squad/Creature Commandos vibe going on with this line is cool. Just not sure if I want...

Yeah. $125 for Cold Slither seems about right. Still a shame the drum set doesn't have a little audio function which could play their song,, though. I do find it interesting how apparently Cold Slither will be available on Pulse starting Thursday 7/24. And then go up for regular preorder...

The prices for this line are a turn off. I only had the Condor and Thunderhawk, so those are the only two now interesting me. But man those prices. Watching the video, I'm concerned about the rotor blades for the Condor. Looks like they're bending plastic instead of being hinged. I...

Why not all 3? I doubt I'd be interested in a 1:18 one. BFS has done soft good on their 1:18 figures, but I'm curious to see how they'd handle Hellboy's jacket. A MOTU Origins style Hellboy isn't something I had considered, but it would be pretty awesome.

Wet-Suit looks great. Love the headsculpt. Glad he has some weaponry too. I highly doubt he's a BBTS exclusive. I think they just got to reveal him. Sci-Fi also looks really interesting. Not sure I love the energy bubble effect, as I think a laser should just be a straight line. But...it...

I was pondering what kind of small air support Joes have, and there isn't much. I never had the Locust, but I do kinda like the design. I wouldn't want it to be a two-seater, though. Keep it small. You start making it too large, and it starts to get into filling the same role as the Dragonfly.

Not necessarily to the farter. Depends on the wetness, I suppose. TNI has some in-hand pics of the CLAW. Looking good. However, I'm not too excited for it, as the Trouble Bubble seems the same function. Feeling the Joes are a bit outnumbered in the vehicle department. By the end of the...

Bandai has made several waves of mantis gashapon. I have a few of them. I think they're likely a little smaller than the ones pictured above. But for a fraction of the cost Aliexpress Bandai mantis

I ordered two firemen via Pulse, and those will arrive Tuesday. I had also ordered three from Amazon, and those will arrive Monday. Don't try and make sense of the numbers. I wasn't sure how many firemen I wanted and ordered different amounts with the preorder gamble. I'll likely return at...

My Firemen from Pulse have shipped. Or at least a shipping label was created. I noticed they had popped into stock on the site yesterday and was wondering when my preorder would ship. Guess it's happening now.

Silverhawks Buzzsaw can kinda work as just some robot villain for other lines. I have the yellow version. I'll probably get the green one too if it ever goes on sale. I don't mind having two killer robots with buzzsaws on them. Speaking of Silverhawks. I'm still turned off on Super7 making...
