The good thing about the old Conan d20 game was it is kind of set up with the understanding that most of your enemies will be humans or very human-like. Conan, as I'm sure most here already know, borrows a lot from the Lovecraftian pantheon/style of 'things men were not meant to see.' So if the...

So as far as I can tell, these books don't even exist on Amazon.ca. Weird?

When I was DMing, my goal in combat was to keep the group guessing, but never throw them something they absolutely could not handle (except in rare circumstances where they were literally supposed to run away - which was kind of a feature of the Conan RPG). I was DMing mostly back in...

I'm really happy with all the great reviews Budo is getting. Not to be a whiny bitch or anything, but I have a strong tendency to get fucked over when toy companies make my favorites (looking at you, Ninja Force Storm Shadow). Somehow my most favorite characters/figures/looks seem to often get...

I see a new subnic on the horizon.

Fuck sake. It took you guys NO time at all to bring this thread right back around to dicks.

I want Ninja Force Scarlett pretty badly. Both because that's the Scarlett figure I had as a kid AND because of how absolutely ass-mad it's going to make a certain type of Joe collector.

Your guys's Walmarts have action figures?

I hope Hasbro makes a short, hairy version of Magik with a head that's too big.

This. This is where I'm at. The one exception I'm making at this point is '87 movie Masterverse. Besides that, Mattel can fuck off until they do what they said they were going to do and stop disrespecting the people that supported them enough to even get to this point with the Origins expression.

CarapASS, if you will.

To clarify my own position; I don't think you can't do 'nuns showing skin' ever. I do think it's contextual. If you told me 'there's a new Netflix movie about grizzled nuns battling evil with blades and automatic rifles as part of an ancient demon-hunting order,' I feel like my expectation for...

The Joes need a desert-themed guy-with-ferocious animal. We REALLY need Spearhead and his bobcat to run counter to the scorpion monster. We need him now more than ever. And, if I recall correctly, whenever there's trouble G.I. Joe is there. Make it happen, Hasbro.

What in the fuck.

That thing is super cool. I have nothing else to add.

Never saw those before and that was definitely whiplash going from excited to sad. I got rid of all my Power Rangers stuff, but to this day what I really want is GOOD 1:12 movie Rangers. Even though I absolutely watched the entire show, for whatever reason the great memories and nostalgia...

If someone showed me the greyscale with no context beyond 'its a battle nun' and asked me to paint it; it would be mostly black with some white to break it up and definitely a few gold or silver accents. I mean... that's just what makes sense, regardless of any concerns about not having enough...

My ML collecting is fairly sparse these days, but for the right price I would definitely be interested in some Brood.

We're gonna see a lot more 'oops, all AI' stuff in the coming few years, I guarantee. LOTS of companies, big and small, are going to try to get away with it and just bank on it being easier to patch it out later if they -have- to than do it right to begin with.

Origins isn't a high-detail expression to begin with, but they look cheap. This is certainly extremely low-effort. And honestly, it's typical of Mattel. Ask anyone that collects Mattel (my wife is an ex-Monster High collector). Once a line is popular, they sink the quality assuming you'll just...

But it's so wwwwwwweeeeird. Like.. why? I just can't make sense of 6 dollars more for a few extra accessories (but you -don't- get the larger figures like Champion or Drax). They seem completely comparable to me.

Yeah, I don't care if Red shows some skin in her outfit - you can make that make sense. The battle nun just seems super weird doing it, though. And I also just don't think it looks very good within the context of the design itself.

Oh gross. I hate the exposed skin so much. Not in a prudish way, but in like a .. that looks terrible.. kind of way.

@JakeEkiss Oh yeah, you're not wrong on any of that. Against my usual nature, I'm trying to look at the bright side and say that, at least in our Capitalist dystopia, 'sure thing' brands allow companies to do weird stuff sometimes. I will say in Disney's... ew.. defense... ew... that they own...

You guys are killing me. I want Desert Scorpion something fierce.
