    The Official AT Wrestling Thread

    Have continued to lose interest in WWE, mainly because I do not have Netflix (which I could survive to not see RAW live but follow the highlights) but also don't have ESPN+ for the PLEs, or Peacock for the SNMEs, and Smackdown alone is not enough to keep me engaged. So great job WWE, you thought...

    Funko nearing bankruptcy

    Well, you have been added to my list - along with those claiming that there is good pizza outside of either NYC/NJ/Philly or Italy - of people who are objectively wrong. ;) "Hostess" and "snob" are not concepts I tend to associate with each other. Clearly.

    Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

    Any updates on Popeye Wave 4? That 3/4th of the Wave 1 figures are on clearance for $14 at BBTS and none of the other figures have sold out makes me wonder how successful this has been. I really just want an Alice and a Geezil and would be happy, and Alice should be a pretty easy option given we...

    Biblical Adventures

    Just bumping to note that D13 hopes to get the female buck made as part of the Nippon Adventures Kickstarter, and then get to BA Kickstarter 2 next - not sure when that will be, but will include some female figures (lots to choose from there if they continue with the artwork theme).

    Chicken Fried Toys/Dime Novel Legends

    And 30 days later, there is a tab on the website for Kickstarter Allocation and page that says "This page is being updated. Allocation coming soon." So progress?

    Animal Warriors of the Kingdom / Spero Toys

    I think it was his home office or an exterior building - not his main home - based on a post I saw from another small toy producer. Not that dealing with that isn't bad of course. They had another wave of feline and other figures as well which I have been waiting on - and I also have an open...

    Funko nearing bankruptcy

    See, now I need to get those. The mascot versions, not the versions that look like the a snack with a bite taken our of it. Although to be honest Drakes and Tastycakes (Philly area) are both steps up from Hostess.

    Continuing my MCU rewatch

    I haven't watched this in years, so all this seems reasonable - I didn't really like that Sam and Bucky were so instantly hostile to Walker. It telegraphed too much that he wasn't going to work out, and I felt Sam and Bucky - both in the military themselves and heroes - seem petty and...

    Comic Book Talk

    Off topic, but they really should have gone the route years ago that MI6 used the Bond moniker as an alias, and it is assigned to a new person every few years - creating an identity that was effectively the boogeyman amongst the evildoers around the world - which is why he always introduced...

    Hasbro possibly doing Tron?

    I started looking at the Sears and JC Penny's catalogs from the early Star Wars period, and old images of the stores stocked with stuff - at $2 retail for the SW line there was limited profit in the figures to be sure - but the vehicles were often $15 to $20 or more. So I get what he is saying -...

    Hasbro possibly doing Tron?

    Contemporaneously with the Star Wars 1:18 there were toylines for Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon and BSG also in that scale with both figures and vehicles, as the world was hoping for another "space opera" to be a massive hit - so the copycats started. (And Star Trek the motion picture)

    One A Day 2.0: Day #209 - Gibbon

    I'd take Nick, Dum Dum and Gabe. An all WWII wave with those three and the five Invaders I think would sell (make Toro the BAF and have Cap be the double packed with no BAF part).

    Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

    These Sentinels were vexing to me in terms of whether I wanted them or not. Still unsure. I was pretty happy with the HasLab as Master Mold and the Marvel Universe versions as the drones, despite not being exactly on the classic model and the drones being slightly too small. But if they had...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies and Streaming Series Discussion

    I guess I haven't noticed that pattern? But suppose it is there. I'll clarify, I think of Thor as the most "operatic" of the Marvel heroes, given the myths and how we was written by Stan at the start as vaguely Shakespearean and so on. Of all the characters, going the more serious route would...

    Funko nearing bankruptcy

    I only saw those Olly Moss OT trilogy posters just after they sold out. They are spectacular and probably the only reason I ever heard of Mondo, and I instantly hated them for making this a limited edition - they could have sold thousands of these.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies and Streaming Series Discussion

    I think it has been confirmed what I thought coming out of the film - that the opening montage was going to be shorter, the FF were going to be backstage on the talk show and get called to action so the curtain would open on an empty stage (paralleling the end of the film as an ongoing gag), and...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies and Streaming Series Discussion

    The decision to end the Black Widow film with choosing to connect the narrative dots with her getting the Quinjet instead of the sequence with the kids playing hero exemplifies choosing story over character to me and I feel like they have made similar choices since then. The more I think about...

    Funko nearing bankruptcy

    Funko would likely file for Chapter 11 first, and hope to reorganize. During that time, once they got rid of some debt, they could continue on or they could look for a buyout - or they could sell off some IP. I think that despite the disdain for POPS in this thread, that the Funko name and that...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies and Streaming Series Discussion

    I agree with this, it was missing just a little something... I have had the feeling that the MCU has been cutting down the more subtle or character driven parts of their films the last few years for some reason, like they want to avoid too much depth or seriousness? Not sure how to explain it...

    NFL Talk

    I think it might go a long way to either convince folks the Seahawks are for real or have just been good about beating up on some poor teams.

    Nightgown for Scrooge all the way. Formal for the inevitable 3-pack with that ungrateful Cratchet and his whiny kid.

    Hey now, Utah is one of the top 5 states to visit in the US I think, some spectacular scenery.
