    Honestly, IF I have the money (and that is a big IF at this point), I'd be down for a battle damaged Sentinel....I'd actually like that better than a pristine one as it would convey action on the shelf. Of course, I'd be sad that I don't have a pristine one as well, but what can you do?

    I dated a girl in the mid-90s who was REALLY into it, so I got pulled in. It was fun...sometimes. Some people took it WAY too seriously though. It's odd, because I can remember quite a bit about my character, though I cannot remember his name to save my life! Being a guy with long blond hair at...

    Eh, I hate the idea of chases, especially at higher prices like this. Still, they could produce a battle damaged Sentinel in the MTO model and I think it would sell on its own.

    One A Day 2.0: Day #254 - Wyatt Wingfoot

    I wouldn't mind having Wyatt in the collection. I'd probably wait for clearance though.

    It's been a reallllllly long time since I did anything related to role play games, but I do remember Cain was the "first vampire" in Vampire: The Masquerade.

    I'd love this. I still use those bases for my classic Claremont/Byrne era X-Men display.

    I find characters like Vader/Anakin, The Grinch, or Scrooge far more interesting in their redemptions because of the moments they have where they realize THEY are wrong. No issues with that whatsoever. It's the things like Cruella or Dracula where they take the character, give them some...

    Oh yeah...the trend of making characters like Cruella and Maleficent into sympathetic anti-heroes is REALLY annoying. A huge part of what made those characters so entertaining in the first place is that they are SO clearly the evil bad guy you love to hate. I get the appeal of seeing a...

    VERY true!

    That's the biggest issue I have with Coppola's version. It has so many elements that are direct from the book, and those things are incredible...but in the end he changes the biggest element of Stoker's story which is the fundamental essence of who Dracula is as a character. I honestly hate that...

    While there certainly is some potential for storytelling there, I have a near-zero hope that Besson's film will be anything worth watching. From interviews I've read, he apparently thinks the whole "Mina is the reincarnation of Elizabeta" thing is from Stoker's novel, which it definitely isn't...

    One A Day 2.0: Day #254 - Wyatt Wingfoot

    It's weird, because even though I loved Mark Gruenwald's Squadron Supreme series in the 80s, I've never really felt all that compelled to have figures of the characters. I have the 616 Nighthawk for my Defenders display, and that is really the only version I feel I truly need.

    Mythological/Legends/Religious Figures combo thread

    Ehhhh...I doubt that would do much for me either. I guess it could be done well, but I feel most of the time those types of stories come off as someone trying to be "edgy" and "controversial" rather than telling a compelling story. I'm usually very wary of any writer portraying someone like...

    I remember seeing Dracula 2000 in the theater. I think I was blind for a week afterward because my eyes rolled back into my head so hard when the bit about Dracula being Judas was 'revealed". As a longtime fan of the Stoker book, and having dealt with numerous liberties taken in cinema, I have a...

    Celestials anyone?

    I like the idea, but I don't have the space or money for any of them.

    One A Day 2.0: Day #254 - Wyatt Wingfoot

    Pass on Thornn. No connection to the character at all. HARD PASS on Azazel. All the dumb crap with him being Nightcrawler's dad has thankfully been retconned out of continuity, but he still annoys me by being a reminder of that insipid story arc.

    All I know is there was a time I'd likely have bought two of these, at the very least. That was a time when I didn't have to worry about finances strangling me every month. I didn't even buy one, and have to live vicariously through y'all. I'm not crying though...I still have the old ToyBiz...

    One A Day 2.0: Day #254 - Wyatt Wingfoot

    Catching up: Slapstick- Honestly, I've never heard of this character. Looks like a cheap rip-off of the Mask, or Freakazoid. Pass. Jack of Hearts- HELL YES! In my top ten wants, for sure. I REALLY want his look from the Marvel-Two-In-One #48. Had that issue as a kid and loved it! Belasco-...

    PREACH! I cannot agree with this more! At this point, Colan Dracula is my single-most wanted figure in the line, period. It's honestly a bit ridiculous we don't have him at this point. I've always loved the Marvel monsters and mystics, and I especially love the crazy 70s books that really went...

    Dessert Storm. Sounds like something the current administration would engage in. "We've been treated very unfairly by the nation of Candyland. Chancellor Gumdrop is a narco-terrorist who is smuggling fentanyl in the cotton candy. They're responsible for 400 billion people dying last year, and so...

    That particular Batman figure is really tall though. Don't know the exact height, but all the figures on that body tower over most of the other figures in the line.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

    Hmmm...well, I'll chalk this up to old age. The cartoon came about right as I was getting a little older and not really playing with toys much. I was still interested in the comic series at that point, but the cartoon seemed a little too silly to me by that time. I did periodically watch it...
