I genuinely, sincerely, feel bad for anyone looking forward to this line. It's obvious Mattel decided fans will gobble up anything with the Origins-esque styling and have decided that putting any value into that package is not worth doing. Insulting and trashy.

That Tweet absolutely moves the goalpost. Republicans have always been Nazi KKK supporting loons that hate working class people (at least for my entire lifetime, that is). The fact that they weren't so brazenly obvious and open about it is immaterial. Some of us have been saying this is what...

I guess? I never really thought about it. I just don't consider myself 'Canadian.' And I'm not a citizen here, so I guess I'm also legally not a Canadian so... feels weird. To be fair, these days I'm not super excited about being called American either. Canadians do not. They get very upset...

Prince Adam doesn't even come with the 'closed' power sword? Goddamn, Mattel has gotten so fucking cheap.

Okay, first of all.. calling me Canadian is a good way to start a fist fight. Second of all, that place absolutely infuriates me and I genuinely think almost killed my relationship with my ex before it even started because I went on like a 30 minute rant when I found out it existed and was...

I should clarify; when talking about toys and referring to 'people' generally, I am pretty much always referring to the toy community. That is to say, I don't think a new action figure line based on any property is going to convince people that don't buy toys to start. Not never. But near enough...

All the good ones went to America and took the secrets of the greatest pizza ever with them.

I've been saying for almost 2 decades that they're all the same. It wasn't until VERY recently that anyone else seemed to actually agree. All I usually heard was the 'stop painting them all with the same brush' stuff. And look where we are.

I've had pizza in Chicago. Boston area still has the best pizza on the planet.

I said way back when these D&D lines kicked up that no one gives a fuck about D&D action figures. By and large, D&D players don't want them, and non-D&D players don't want them. So who are they for? Drizzt, you could argue, has more cross-media appeal as THE main character of an entire book...

That just goes to the point of Democrats being absolutely fucking trash at governing. Because they won't hammer on those points as much as they should like Republicans would. And Dems haven't asked their billionaire buddies to buy media outlets to stop the complete takeover of the media buy the...

Probably not at all a useful litmus test, but I tend to assume that if I can easily find something for several months, where I live, then that line or particular product has failed. We don't get a lot of good stuff, and what we do get we don't tend to get in volume. So if something is still on...

Look, everyone can do what they want, but that also means I can say what I want: If you spend 980 dollars on a Classified figure because of rare packaging, you are a fucking fool. The kind of fool that should have a court-appointed person to look after your finances for you.

100%. I'd eat whatever the consequences are and just toss the hands in the garbage and make sure all of my responses are like 'I definitely put them in the package, are you sure you didn't throw them out?' Good luck proving to eBay that they weren't in there, dickhead.

All of their names.

I'm still pulling for the teaser big collar with a handle on it to be a collar for an actual shark the EEL can ride.

The control art, or whatever you want to call it, is up on TNI. Definitely looks like ReAction style with the T-hips and all.

Because I've decided to go all-in on Arctic stuff, I will take a v2 Snow Serpent. But I'm relatively indifferent because I never owned one. But that yellow Alley Viper with the slick-ass mask was MY Alley Viper and I want that immediately.

The Sectaurs thing is pure insanity. They're appealing to the five people on earth that wanted it instead of the 12 people on earth that want modern-style Sectaurs. I have two of the ones from the 4" line that came out several years ago. And 1:18 stuff was kind of en vogue at the time, so I get...

Oh, I didn't even go with Cobra. I was only listing actual Joes. BAT, EEL, and Alley Viper from the '90s are ABSOLUTELY my favorite versions of those Cobra figures. It's not even close.

You guys just don't have enough fun with it. If someone lowballs you, counteroffer with a higher number than your list price. 160 bucks and they offer 100? Come back with 190. Why not.

Going back a bit to the army builder conversation.... I just realized that my ideal set-up would be two Desert Scorpions but only one actual mutant scorpion. I just like the idea better of a giant scorpion with two 'handlers.' Especially since it's an animal and may turn on the handlers, so...

I mean, it's not a big deal or anything. But does anyone else think it's pretty fucking douchey to put a 45 day limit on 'use your credits or pay more' for BACKERS, who backed at specific prices, after taking over a year to even LET them allocate those funds? Hell, it's douchey to tell backers...

There's a lot of V1 '90s Joes I love, but speaking JUST about ones that were getting v2+ in the '90s... V2 Storm Shadow Airborne (Sky Patrol) V3 Mutt + Junkyard (DEF) V3 Leatherneck V3 Low Light V4 Gung-Ho V2 General Hawk (Talking Battle Commanders) V3 Stalker (Talking Battle Commanders) V2...

Yeah, Desert Scorpion was '91. Ninja Force started in '92. They've definitely hit a few. V4 Snake Eyes was '91, for instance. But they definitely seem to favor '80s versions of the Joes wherever possible. I get why.. but I'm definitely waiting for my turn, as it were. v4 Snake Eyes might have...
