    The Complaint Thread

    My partner and her niece both needed the same reconstructive surgery in recent years. Her niece couldn't afford it in the US and went to Mexico to have hers done. She did have to evacuate during her recovery because the neighborhood was on fire, but the recovery and end results of the surgery...

    Star Wars Black Series

    There's some good deals over on Walmart's site, and Kelnacca for 8 bucks is hard to pass up.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    How are folks separating the head from the neck on the greenshirt/cop figures? Holy crap, those suckers are on tight. I'm trying to pop one of htem onto an extra Law body but I cannot get them apart to save my life tonight.

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

    If you want an existential crisis, look up how old the cast of the Mary Tyler Moore show were while filming. I swear everyone smoking everywhere aged EVERYONE.

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

    In Quick Kick's defense, this was back in the 80s when everybody looked twenty years older than someone the same age looks now. He was probably 23.

    TTRPGs & D&D

    That player is one I call "my ringer" because whenever he jumps in on a one shot he's just pure DM enabler, always pushes the red button if I put one in front of him. Good fun, great guy.

    Such an unnecessary character and I would buy her IMMEDIATELY.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    I don't want to army build anymore, but I did grab two greenshirts since the heads are so different, and they just arrived from Pulse. Aside from one doing the impossible and somehow popping out of his plastic casing inside the box (dude looked like he had a rough trip but no damage to the...

    I'm sure there's a logistical challenge to doing Oktober Guard, but it really does feel like Daina is just a guaranteed winner for the line.

    General Marvel Legends

    Just talking with a friend who's a comics historian about some of the pleasantly weird characters we've gotten recently (came up cos Warbow is shipping from some places at the moment) and he's all up for a dire wraith. I'm trying to imagine what a dire wraith would even look like in action...

    Marvel Legends Gamerverse

    Amazon still says 11/25 for the set, wouldn't mind getting it sooner. The Fury head does lok weirder and weirder the more I look at it it - I wonder if the Fury head from the three-pack from last year would fit? I dig that one a lot. The sweater and leggings thing is so goofy but it feels very...

    U.S. Politics

    This is just comedically shitty, but i've had to point out to more people than I am happy about that they may not be allowed to "flee" America to the country of their choice if they have a chronic condition because other countries don't want to clean up the messes America refuses to acknowledge...

    Master list of Characters still to be made as Classified

    1990 is where i started to drop off, but Rampart is still one of my top wants.

    I don't know, but she's got a 14 year old daughter and the cognitive dissonance/pure evil someone has to possess to say what she said... Hope all this blood money is worth it.

    Marvel Legends Gamerverse

    Yeah, the cinematics were fun AF, too. They did so much great worldbuilding for a game that was mostly murking other players as efficiently as possible. (Sort of the same way I wish I could enjoy Rivals as a game because I think the character designs are LUDICROUS but entertaining and would pick...

    Animal Warriors of the Kingdom / Spero Toys

    That's a good point - don't know how often it happens with action figures, but every game/book printer felt a crunch as their factories bumped smaller companies down on the priority list to give more capacity to bigger clients because they know the little guys can't bark back.

    Marvel Legends Gamerverse

    Speaking of Overwatch, I still believe that Hasbro went HARD on that line of figures and it's a shame the line died off, because those toys were good enough to outshine the game. I hated the game but loved the figures. I wish they were a little bigger to scale better with Legends etc., but they...

    Megyn Kelly on the air this morning defending "someone she knows well" who "understands the difference between a 15 year old and an 8 year old" and Jesus fucking Christ the monster machine of Fox News is a cancer that just keeps giving. Kelly will live out her days happier, healthier, more...

    Animal Warriors of the Kingdom / Spero Toys

    Yep. And it's also kinda fundamentally bad that we're still at the "massive international conglomerate manufacturer" or "needs crowdfunding to survive" stage of capitalism. Not Spero specifically but it feels like either you're big enough to be under the thumb of investors, or you're...

    Last Movie Watched

    I actually want to hear more opinions like this - I mean I have Native friends who have some shit to talk about it being Dances with Blue Wolves, but I'm mostly fascinated about how, like, it made all this money, but I see Firefly or Fifth Element cosplay at every con I table at and there's zero...

    Animal Warriors of the Kingdom / Spero Toys

    Funding or organization or biting off more than can chew or not having the money to hire additional staff for logistics. There's a damned if you do/damned if you don't think with updates. I agree that constant updates are better for business, but we've all seen the ration of shit creators get...

    Animal Warriors of the Kingdom / Spero Toys

    Having had my entire house burn down and still needing to work while I put my life back together again, I have tons of sympathy for anyone else who goes through it, but I suspect the slow-down is the same thing that slows down every other kickstarter or small business project. Everything takes...

    Yeah, he's never doing BAD work, he's just sort of THERE, which always makes me wonder if he's just got great representation to keep the work steady. I used to think this about Karl Urban a long time ago because he was in EVERYTHING and I didn't really have a strong vibe on him good or bad, but...
