Outside of Bruce Lee movies and some Missing in Action on cable tv, I'm mostly familiar with Chuck because of the atari 2600 game and the Kenner figures are one of my favorite small lines, probably one of those things I bought up on clearance as a kid (I'm missing the red Ninja Master). I've...

I got my first Amiami invoice since October. MPG Optimus total is $171.36. The shipping portion of that is $47.36 for EMCS. Still a decent savings compared to BBTS' $200. Sales tax and $4 shipping would've pushed it to $216. Mafex Rogue should've been in this shipment, but things happen, like...

I got Varang today from Amazon. Not much availability for these figures in my area. I saw this figure one time at a Target, way back when they were first released and didn't buy it. Then I ordered one from Amazon to ship at a later date. It was placed at least month. I haven't seen the movie...

I was trying to remember what the story was behind Johns involvement. I came across this link, but of course the fwoosh is down so I can't get the whole retelling or find out who made the post. My interest fell off a cliff after that Lantern wave.

I opened my third figure, this one from BBTS, and it was the best out of the three. Perfect right out of the box, while I popped the first one apart and applied shock oil to hips, ankles, and shoulders. The first one wasn't even perfectly assembled, I thought I got one with a bum hip, but I just...

Sol was $40 according to some comments I read? That's a tough price for a figure that is all but guaranteed an Elite. This past Christmas season I've seen solid cases of figures at Ollie's, both Basic and Elite. Have to wonder why RSC can't buy enough to meet demand or Mattel not offering...

My mailman did deliver the Romankey x Cowl blank today. It's got a good feel. Pretty smooth, didn't have to dismantle anything.

My brother had a few Hasbro figures, but those were released in the gap when I wasn't collecting figures. I was in high school at the time. I have a nice little loose collection of them now. The Bone Crunchers started up about a year or two after I got back into figures and seemed to appear out...

Looking back, painting figures with easily peelable paint must be some kind of safety hazard.

There's just too many other figures, WWE or otherwise. Had to pass on the SF. They got me when I saw them on the pegs. Jakks and Jazwares have done some LJN, but I don't think they were as well received. They were okay, but had the disadvantage of being a smaller scale than the original LJNs...

I have one of the Romankey blanks out for delivery. With the cold and the snow, my mail delivery has been a bit wonky lately with an occasional delay by a day, so delivery today is not a guarantee. Questionable action figure instructions. This one's from a 1/6 Verycool Mai Shiranui:

Target put up their WWE preorders around 3am eastern. I missed Austin's LJN. I've been up since 4:30, but who knew 🤷 Do you know how many whiny complaints I've heard over the years from west coasters because Target preorders are up at 6 am in their time zone? Just thought of something, this...

I remember an early Storm Coll. Tyris Flare review. If it's still up and anyone tries to search for it, you'll instantly know this must be the one MrBo is talking about. Is it Johnny Nostalgia? He's grown on me recently. I've been watching some of his reviews even if I don't plan on purchasing...

I can't speak for third party MP style Soundwaves since I don't have one, but the official Takara/Hasbro versions are mostly the same figure. That includes the current version on preorder, MPG-19. I see people complaining this new release is the same mold from over a dozen years ago, but I still...

I went with BBTS for my Grimlock preorder. Tfsource has had him at $150 for a while, while hlj and Amiami were around $100. But with BBTS at $120, the price will be really close to one of the Japan stores. I'll just wait for BBTS stock. Even the exchange rate has the yen up compared to USD, right?

A few points from Kaijudaddy's talk with a source in his "Sinking Ship" video. Mafex trying to crush CT with reissues. He says they're obsessed with CT Toys, compares it to Ahab and Moby Dick. Higher prices on new releases balances the law requirement to sell reissues at the original price...

Feels like a I've been waiting forever for Deathstroke (from gundammit) and SHF Cyclops (from BBTS) and the stores just happen to come collecting their money on the same day.

The other "kiddie" I used to buy regularly until they took away the ankle articulation was Hasbro Mashers. This might kill any interest I have in buying these DC figures Mattle Ankle Trivia: Which Basic wrestler continues to get the old style ankle articulation?-- Hulk Hogan

They have double jointed knees, that's a step up from WWE. Their basic figures seem to have ridiculously stiff single jointed knees in recent years. Non-articulated ankles looks like a carry over from WWE. I hate that because they at least had pinned up and down movement for nearly 10 years.

Deathstroke seems like old news, but I got the payment request from gundammit.

I canceled all my Japan based Mafex preorders with the tariff uncertainty, immediately preordered Rogue at BBTS (and recently at Amiami), but the only other figure I re-preordered was the Punisher. Not buying an Iceman or Jubilee would've been unthinkable a year ago With Mezco, I sold almost...

Someone allowing Hot Toys Joker to be dipped in chocolate milk could only be the result of a marital dispute. I would expect this sort of behavior at a Waffle House, followed by a flying chair, and someone filming the fracas in portrait mode. The eBay listing would be interesting. No box...

The last Classified I found at Burlingon was the Roadblock with non-gold shin armor. Must be two or three years ago. I find Burlington to be a step above Marshalls/TJ Maxx, like there's an occasional chance at finding something good in toys. I could use that pack since it's one I've passed on.

@Damien I found the Spotlight and I see @TheSameIdiot also chose a Savage Crucible. That's a little concerning, am I going to immediately want another right after the first one arrives?
