Target Outback Storm is already on discount and Mystique, the preorder she popped with still hasn't shipped.

I don't want to manage the ass. I already manage as my day gig. I just want to appreciate it. I'm more an afficionado. An enthusi-ass-t.

Yeah, eww. Who are these even for?

You gotta hand it to them, that's probably the most extensive yokai collection we're liable to see in 1/12 scale for a while presuming it all gets made. I'm seeing all the classics.

For me the issue with alcohol or weed is just that the effects last too long. I want to be tipsy or high for about half an hour, and then I get annoyed and want to go back to normal again. The only times I drink at this point are when my dad and I are having holiday dinners once or twice a year...

I dunno, hard to read it without inputting a silent "for now" at the end.

If there is one thing I've learned from this admin over the years, it's that there basically aren't any pure distractions. They merely open up new fronts on the war. It's largely why their actions are so mind-numbingly shitty (see all their various half witted legal cases). They flood the field...

Yokai are definitely cool. I'm not typically a soft goods guy but I'll keep an eye on these.

Mafex is a little shorter than an average Marvel Legend yeah? I've never had one so I don't know where they range in the 1/12 spectrum.

Yeah, I'm pretty much here. Funko is the big budget version of the artist alley guys who do the "wall of faces" prints. Low-effort product that relies on cluster bombing your nostalgia. None of it is good, but hey at least there's a shit-ton of it. They've got every version of every character...

This is my guess as well. Coipel Thor seems most likely to me. I want to believe in a Jim Lee Maximum Magneto that is everything I want it to be, but I'm bracing to have my heart broken. After those I don't know where they'd go, but Max Cap feels like a late 2026 release at earliest.

Out of curiosity, did anyone pick up that Nanmu Indoraptor (ground type or whatever they called it)? I was looking over early reviews and nobody is putting it in scale with anything but other dino figures. Seems like it's smaller than their Raptor but might still look good with 1/12 figures. I...

Yeah, if you're in a state where calling your senator would matter now's the time. It's not a done deal yet from what I saw, but it's close.

I've read Anubis Gates and Declare and enjoyed them both. Declare is more my bag because it's all the Cold War spy vs spy shit mixed with all his supernatural stuff. It's good though, and if you like the stories weaving supernatural things into real history there's plenty of that.

As a random aside, I assume you've read Tim Powers's stuff yeah? Declare and Anubis Gates etc? Feels like it might be up your alley if not.

I am certain this isn't how they're doing it, but if I were Hasbro that would be how I'd determine which ones to rerelease/release as a single-card if they were a BAF. "Oh, it's over $100 on ebay? Time for another run."

Uggh, checked my feeds after gaming and it seems like the Dems might be ready to fuck up the strongest political position they've had all year by giving in on the shutdown.

I must be the "my eyes are up here" guy in that I was honestly so wowed by her portrait I hadn't really paid much attention to her other bits. Though, now that you mention it... She's got limited range of motion, definitely, but I really like her for the sculpt and details.

If I'm honest, that job I mentioned? It broke the back of me ever entertaining this idea. It also ruined my view of what constitutes "rare". Like, first appearance of Punisher? Not a rare comic. I've seen so many of that fucking issue I could wipe my ass with copies and wouldn't worry I was...

I finally opened my Gladiator and Deathbird this morning. Deathbird just looks so good. Another one for the shelves where it's a classic villain who looks just stellar simply standing there vamping (which is good since a lot of the costume hinders extreme posing). Her portrait is just fantastic...

Exactly where I'm at. Reissues seem great because other folks (and me) can get stuff they missed for whatever reason. And most likely the second run of income funds some new sculpts down the line. Win win as far as I'm concerned. So, some deep Jake lore is that my first job out of college was...

Ant Man and Wasp 2 pack getting a rerelease too. Nothing I need, but if anyone else does.

Spero was totally the one I meant. This is the first I'm seeing of the other.

Yeah I assumed Joe wouldn't sign away the rights, and that's the only way they'd be able to stop him doing anything later. Like, D&D has had it's share of troubles in yesteryear for making statblocks for characters they didn't own. They would have to con Joe into giving it away and it never...

I don't know why he wouldn't be able to. Aside from his appearances in other D&D media, I don't think anything about the character replicated elsewhere is owned by them. Like, they don't own the name or the concept of evil dragon-people. The only bits they can claim are specific locations and...
