    Figura Obscura

    Definitely more of a Marvel Legends than Mythic Legions convo, but I was just talking with a friend who doesn't even want Hasbro to finish the Thunderbolts anymore because of how bad Citizen V and Songbird will look next to newer sculpts. (I still want them to finish it but he's not off-base in...

    Maybe I just have terrible luck, but man, I run into so many stuck/clunky/too heavily ratcheted waist ball joints across every line that uses them (though that ML Wolverine was smooooooth as silk). if they were all like his I'd be more annoyed at companies using waist swivels but I'd say fully...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    This would be an easy slam dunk.

    Figura Obscura

    Maybe I spend too much time talking to other collectors, but I feel like "predictable" is a compliment considering how often people are frustrated waiting for, say Hasbro to finish a Marvel team or Todd to tell us any information about how to buy figures. I'm legitimately into the idea of "hey...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    I'm looking forward to whenever they ship Xue too, yeah. I do think they need to break up the "old wizard with beard" thing a bit, but at least we've gotten with him four different distinct skin tones. I'd love it if they broke up the female wizards a bit more too since I think most of our femme...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    I like the koi man, but the fact that they tied him in as the journal writer in the lore is what really sold me on him. I don't really get into ML lore AT ALL but "this fish guy keeps a journal and is quietly observing everything around him" made me warm up to him as a figure more than I...

    Infinite Legions from Four Horsemen

    Yep. This is why it's got my (TM)/(C) brain going. Marvel and DC are notoriously litigious about it but D&D aside from a handful of Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms characters (okay, Ravenloft too) really don't get traction on character licensing so it's a much smaller issue for them. Also I think...

    Infinite Legions from Four Horsemen

    I more mean his character literally has a stat block in official D&D content. At least any time I've done creative work where someone was using a character I created, making sure you don't get absolutely fucked for future use of the character is a minefield. The first thing I do when I'm doing...

    Infinite Legions from Four Horsemen

    I thought you were going to go with Kalatuur MinMax. (I usually don't go for this sort of thing but naming a seagull familiar Christopher Squawkin is objectively funny in the dumbest way possible.)

    G.I. Joe Head Canon & Fanfic Filecards

    It's funny, I was just posing those two on the shelf last night and thinking "where am I going to put these two weirdos?" I could see them hanging out. Copperhead is like an Elmore Leonard style bad guy and Crocmaster is just profoundly weird and I could see them having a very non-verbal, "he's...

    G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #63 - Amber (Animated)

    Female version of their best soldier base? Hell yeah, give us a fem Range Viper. Also, would love Ambush, a favorite figure as a kid. And Dusty's methed out coyote.

    Infinite Legions from Four Horsemen

    I'd also love to get some dragon men from them that are human-height instead of ogre sized. I like the big ones but a more dragonborn sized one would be great.

    Had that happen three times with Jim Gordon through Walmart, gave up and paid 12 bucks more from a rando on eBay.

    Infinite Legions from Four Horsemen

    I've watched Joe on so many actual plays and he's 100% sincere. He just loves the game and loves Dragonlance and wants to make something rad.

    The Complaint Thread

    That Vince Guaraldi Christmas song in the Peanuts special is an eldritch tune created specifically to break your heart in a profound way that no words can explain. It's a musical equivalent of someone stepping on your grave.

    Figura Obscura

    Yeah, it's a niche series, but it's been kind of fun knowing we have a new one coming each holiday season. I don't need the Christmas Avengers but not doing the ghosts (and Scrooge) to finish things off feels weird unless they truly were not selling enough to make it worth it, and if that's the...

    Infinite Legions from Four Horsemen

    Don't know if you saw it but Joe seems to be rebuilding the bridges with WOTC - he posted a pic of himself with HIckman/Weis this week with WOTC saying "Welcome back to the table!" in the post, so maybe the TV deal (or something else) is back in the works for Dragonlance.

    Infinite Legions from Four Horsemen

    Yeah, that's JOe's D&D character who has shown up both on Critical Role and in canon D&D Lore (he appears in their Avernus adventure module and even has an official mini through Wizkids). I would LOVE to know the deal he worked out with Hasbro/WOTC though cos he sseems to be able to do whatever...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    I'm kinda disappointed they put VItus and Delphina in this wave - not because I don't want them, but because I wonder if they took two spots for more interesting seafaring world building.

    The Complaint Thread

    Christmas is my family's Super Bowl. No religious context. Just too many gifts, too much food, growing up we'd have 23 cousins all opening gifts together, and since I was basically raised communally with my extended family, we didn't have any of that WASPy baggage so many folks have with only...

    Figura Obscura

    I know they don't want to get too predictable, but not finishing like, the four spirits of Christmas feels like a bad marketing move. Even if they kept the schedule one more year to let buyers have a complete set and then rest their Xmas line for a few years after that.

    Not gonna lie, I HAVE the Haslab one and if they re-released the exact same figure with a head that neither looked like Ezra Miller nor had a dildoian feel so real plastic and wasn't screaming like he caught his balls in his zipper, I'd pay full price for him.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    All of the above. I think the silliness in this forum is because we're all pretty happy overall, getting a steady stream of top shelf figures that (while expensive) are at a reasonable price compared similar lines, come stacked with stuff, and VERY rarely misses. So our dopamine is up. And...
