    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    What are folks using for removing paint from classified figures? I was messing around with my crew here and I'd forgotten poor Leatherneck has a smudge of his five o'clock shadow on the tip of his nose I want to delicately remove. I know what I'd use on a tabletop mini but not sure what folks...

    Operation Monster Force

    Did the preview of the packaging today indicate Crimson Moon is shipping soon? There's a couple of those I've been dancing around preordering. Their werewolves aren't werewolfian enough for my tastes but a couple of their masked villains would work for some bizarre Joes characters I've been...

    Mortal Kombat Klassic figures by McFarlane Toys

    I'm starting to suspect that Walmart two-pack is never shipping. And I suddenly can't remember where I ordered Raiden from, who was going to be my last pickup in this line (Raiden was always a favorite). I've never fallen off a line in terms of excitement and interest this fast, though. I reckon...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    I showed what is for ME a sense of restraint and only ordered one retro BAT. I think he'll be the prototype model. Since my head canon is every single BAT is untrustworthy and prone to friendly fire, the prototype is going to be the MOST sociopathic. (Though the two Snow Serpents have been...

    Operation Monster Force

    Got a few things in my POL and the general is in stock. I don't NEED one, but might be fun to get some photos for an ongoing photo project I've been tinkering with.

    Jada Street Fighter

    I was just talking with alt about the best way to get a Jessica Aster over in the Jada Cyberpunk thread. Been eyeballing that figure even longer than the knockoff Chun-Li, I think.

    Jada Street Fighter

    Larger than real life! (But yeah, when you have to add the pupil using the tip of a pin...)

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    It is occasionally embarrassing how happy I am with the simpler figures from this line. They do such incredible work on the more complex figures, but I'm over here NOT having Blowtorch or Tripwire on display but four guys wearing the same jumpsuit all lined up and I'm just happy as a clam.

    Jada Toys Cyberpunk 2077

    I'm definitely on the "I'm going to think about this for four months then impulse buy one off eBay at 4 a.m. after a particularly depressing day at work" track right now with this figure.

    Jada Street Fighter

    Y'know, I finally got good at doing 28mm miniatures eyes. Somehow a 1/12 scale figure eye doesn't scare me anymore. After putting eyes on a tabletop goblin I reckon putting irises on Chun-Li wouldn't be nearly as stressful.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    Funny thing is no matter how you slice it or what you think of the scripts and productions, Punisher has been played by a murderer's row of fun actors. Every one of those guys makes whatever they're in instantly better and are usually the most interesting man on screen. Bernthal's Punisher was...

    Jada Toys Cyberpunk 2077

    Thanks for looking into this - for some reason I thought I remembered hearing that they'd had a faulty first version and reissued it but I might be losing my mind. The basic one really is limited compared to the deluxe version. (I also know the minute I try to buy this Jada will release their...

    Jada Toys Cyberpunk 2077

    Not the Jada version of course but I made the mistake of bookmarking the Romankey Jessica Aster homage/knockoff on eBay and every time I get an alert that one is posted I try to figure out how to tell which version I'm buying (and if it's an original or a reissue). Not exactly priced to chance...

    Jada Street Fighter

    I've had that knockoff Chun-Li in my saved-for-later cart on BBTS for MONTHS. I just can't justify the price but I like the look a bit.

    Realms of the Blacktide Pirate Figures

    These guys released some updated images of their first three figures. The scabbards still look silly but the detailing actually doesn't look half-bad. I could see, if htey scale with a line like Savage Crucible or Mythic Legions, taking a flyer on the human pirate at least, just to see what...

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

    Gamemaster isn't enough of a draw for me alone, but if they did a boxed set with everyone looking ridiculous in that episode I'd be all in.

    U.S. Politics

    Part of me WANTS to believe they rigged the election, but the larger part of me is more convinced that we are set up in a way that enables the worst people in the world to have a greater influence and that we also grossly underestimated how large a percentage of people are just cruel, selfish...

    U.S. Politics

    I usually just point out that I'm a pair of jorts and some Oakleys away from fitting in at a MAGA rally. It's upsetting.

    And that's why every single person I've written off as irredeemable in my life in the past ten years has looked like me.

    U.S. Politics

    I honestly think that on a human, what people want level, the Republican Party lost its last leg to stand on because they're not even taking care of the people they need to bamboozle to get to vote for them. My continued worry is a combination of voter interference, gerrymandering, and literal...

    One A Day 2.0: Day #209 - Gibbon

    I would buy a comic AND an MCU version of him, instantly.

    U.S. Politics

    It really is city to city--these guys are in a very progressive AND very artsy city so there's heightened awareness about IP / copyright issues and also about environmental impact. The next town over is SUPER pro using it so literally five miles down the street, totally different opinion and I...

    U.S. Politics

    So I'm not sure this is PRECISELY a political observation, but since AI is killing jobs and stuff I think this is the best place to put it: I was just in a call consulting on an AI policy for a local government and everyone in the call was anti-AI use, heavily concerned about data privacy, had...

    G.I. Joe Head Canon & Fanfic Filecards

    Definitely Doc. I almost put in that the commentary starts with a very long, irritable sigh. "This f*cking guy over here" level annoyance from the real doctor. I do need to get more pics for the Mindbender calendar. I was having trouble with good backdrops. But I also got the TMNT surfer set...
