Just wanted to say I appreciate the effort it took you to find the only time Warbow has ever appeared in a comic page.

That's way more than I'm willing to devote to this. Fucking ridiculous that their website just straight up... doesn't work properly. I'll just not buy toys, then.

Any other president, that wasn't supported by a fucking doomsday cult, would be removed by now JUST on cognitive capabilities alone. I fucking DARE any Trump supporter right now to say that's not true. Imagine if fucking Obama had been unable to form sentences and was ruminating on whether he...

Relevant to this conversation; X-Men '97 has reportedly been picked up for Season 3 already. So apparently they did learn something from the success of Season 2 and want to get Season 3 rolling while Season 2 is airing. That'll be nice. But also.. yeah.. even death means nothing in comics, and...

Still fucked for me. I don't use Paypal, though. So I'm stuck until the whole thing is working again.

You said it yourself. The creators are just operating within the known constraints. I don't think it's fair to ask them to bank on telling a story that would require them to run for as long as some of the most successful cartoons not on prime time. They know that's not going to happen, or that...

Anyone else ever have a problem checking out on Pulse? It will not accept my credit card info no matter what I do. Just keeps telling me it couldn't complete payment and to add a new payment method. Like what the fuck is wrong with this website? Is this not a multi-billion dollar company...

I look at it the other way: The new cartoon is getting a season every like two years if we're lucky. The likelihood of another adult-oriented X-Men cartoon in the next 10 years is extremely low. Fact is, there is just tons of ground to cover and they can't possibly. So if they want to put in...

I think it's more like 'can both brands benefit from this?' I imagine what happens, and I haven't asked anyone I know about this so total conjecture here, is the Joe team has to plan out if creating and selling a horse, on its own, will make them money. Then they plan out if there's an...

I mean, it's always crazy to hear Anti-Christ theorizing from people that decided to go ahead and put the number of the beast on their foreheads.

Probably doesn't work, which is why the last time we had a Darkness figure was ToyBiz LCBH.

Fuck, Season 2 is going to be killer.

Would be nice if these cheap-ass BILLION DOLLAR corporations could just green-light more than one season at a time so we wouldn't have seventeen years between seasons. Where they then blame 'lack of interest' on the consumer and cancel the show.

I tell all my friends to keep an eye on the forum as guests just to boost us on the Google algorithm. I don't know where the other 898 guests came from, though.

I wonder if Hasbro is allowed to share tooling across lines. I remember Mattel had that weird thing in their contract where they couldn't use DCUC sculpts in other lines, but they COULD borrow tooling from any license they owned to use in DCUC. Thus giving us the Superman and Batman figures they...

In today's edition of 'Ace says the least surprising thing ever....'

SD doesn't have any nostalgia for stuff we all grew up with like He-Man and G.I. Joe. But goddamn, if one of these toy companies ever releases a nostalgia line of like 'stick that kinda looks like a sword' or 'old can you can kick with your friends,' SD is gonna lose his mind and have a complete...

Aren't the Darkness rights a little more complicated? I thought I read that somewhere but I could be making it up entirely.

Look at this adorable guy over here.... 'hold on, let me find this incredibly old film to watch one time in some legal manner.'

Oh for sure. But it's not really like Hasbro pays those fees. We do. It just means the Legends horse is going to be more expensive than the G.I. Joe horse.

Yeah, I think some people see 'marketing' as 'the walking commercial guy.' But they are also 'the money guy.' They're the ones with spreadsheets. They're the ones saying this or that won't cost out into a wave or into the year's budget or whatever.

Actually, I have different advice for that. Not that my advice is sage wisdom or anything. Take it or leave it. I've started to view my stuff as rented versus bought. I paid a fee to have this stuff in my possession for as long as I like having it. Before I buy something, I have to square...

I'm guessing very few toy collectors are in the top 10%. So 99% of us will need to get there eventually. This hobby is pricing everyone out even if you ignore the ridiculous practices like exclusives and BAFs. Obviously, people outside the US in places with unfavorable exchange rates are going...

You shut your face or I will shut it for you.

I actually do get that. I haven't completed a BAF since Juggernaut like.. 6 years ago or whatever that was. But what you're complaining about (I don't mean that negatively) isn't a new problem. The BAF has been with us for what.. 2 decades? And I think your complaint could really be leveled...
