    Speaking of BBTS, my birthday's coming up on the 25th, I'm going to commit to shipping my POL (six items) right now. Any bets on if it will arrive on or before the 25th? I live in MN and BBTS warehouse is next door in WI.

    In the winter with the central heating on I just place my new figures on the floor vent for 15-20 seconds per side and they're ready to go.

    It is funny how a mature customer's feelings toward the branding changes how we feel about "repping" them. I was laughing the other day when I realized the KITH logo looks like costco's KIRKLAND logo, at least a similar sans serif typeface/font. Except I'd actually wear a $30 KIRKLAND hoodie...

    That is gross. I've had similar situations where I swap like a foot or hand on a figure, then swap it a week later and some stinky water drips out. That's when I started switching over to dry heat. At the very least if you use water I really recommend using a compressed air gun to dry it out...

    Masters of the Universe: Masterverse

    In the SDCC images the in-box head is shown separate from the hood, so certainly the hood is at least removable. I assume it's a floating piece so you could do hoodless or hoodless + armorless if you wanted. I wouldn't be surprised if the cloak is removable with velcro, too, they do that...

    Water is great when you need to soften something inside, like the inner pegs on the butterfly joints. But water can be annoying when it stays in crevices. I used to note on Fwoosh every time I had a figure/accessory that wasn't water-tight, like JADA's Hadouken mold, until Robo made fun of me...

    I wonder how Keldor's head and gear would look on a leftover Skeletor buck? Could be an easy kitbash into a "better" version. I'm okay with the sculpted shirt, although the belly button is an eyesore. This is just a dumb MOTU thing I'm okay with, I don't want those glorious muscles hidden by...

    I added a keychain to check shipping and they wanted $20, so probably, yes. Forgot to even follow up on the KITH figures today. Sounds like I probably could have gotten the Cap I wanted. Oh well, just put that money towards the next Gamerverse Wolverine repaint. It's going to be...

    I kinda wish they had done a little more with him, maybe made him a Mattel Creations $35 offering but give him Mattel-quality car tires, like the ones on the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks, make him an actual figure that can drive like a car and be fun both ways.

    I'm not sure what you mean by hinge. The actual head itself doesn't do anything, no. He has a ball joint head and neck.

    Passing on so many Jada SF alt colors has mentally and emotionally prepared me for passing on these ML repaints that I like very much. I am Ryu, disciplined, able to resist spending $65+tax on a Marvel Legend. Now, if you will excuse me, I must meditate until the drop has passed.

    Masters of the Universe: Masterverse

    He's got THREE swords! And it's He-Man but painted black, which just makes him better. But really, he just looks cool, he's on the newer, better body, he has a shield with a strap instead of a stupid peg, three swords that he can carry all at once, two different heads that are both well-made...

    I think my Masterverse of the year (not counting Panthor because he's different) is still probably Terror Claws Skeletor. Maybe AE He-Man if I can get him before the year closes out, we'll see. It would be Skelcon if he came on a better body/had vertical wrists. TC Skeletor still gets picked...

    Nice, I've been loving Hordak way more than expected. I'm a sucker for a figure that has 3 points of contact with the ground and balance well. Combined with the wings and Hordak is so much fun to just pose wherever.

    One of the wackier McFarlane gun sets is only $9 SHIPPED on Walmart.com: https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/5221883249 Generally-speaking these are a little large for Classified but I find them scale well with big guys like Roadblock. I'm planning on using the SPAS shotgun with Heavy Duty or...

    I was going to guess $50ea for these figures so $45 isn't a surprise. I tried adding a $55 keychain (LMAO) to my cart and they just add a flat $20 shipping fee. But then I added another $55 keychain and shipping dropped to $10. So it's almost like they just randomly charge you a shipping fee...

    Did anyone else get their new Retro figures from Amazon in a Hasbro shipper? I ordered just one BAT and it arrived in a little Hasbro box, which is neat. Sure beats the condition the last figure I ordered from Amazon arrived in.

    +1 to "I just buy whatever I like". It's why I've never considered myself a collector. In my mind, a collector has a strict goal, and that's it. But I would be very unhappy with that setup. It doesn't seem like there's much room for self-expression or play. Having said that, I can also...

    This toy drop is a nightmare and it isn't even happened yet. The base Captain America and Wolverine figures look great. Long-anticipated color schemes for MvC fans, on the current best bucks for two characters. But the comments on social media for these things are beyond annoying...

    I suppose I didn't realize that Cap/Venom set was even coming to Target when I bought it, or I would have waited for a sale like this. Hasbro barraged me with too many toys at once hoping I'd slip up and they were right.

    I like Tamashii act 5 stands personally. There are clips, and then there are pegs that fit perfectly in certain TFs (they designed them for that size peg) although I've had a few times where TFs fell off the shelf and the stand's peg broke off in the TF stand port, stuck there forever. So I...

    I really like Steeler out of this two-pack. His plastic feels so nice and tight, his holsters functional. I don't like how much the chest pistol holster sticks out. Is the holster removable? Short-Fuze is fine. I don't love this base body because it always feels wobbly and loose. The waist...
