    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    The self-control really is the hardest part. I'm practicing the "I may want it, but do I need it?" thing lately, and if the answer is yes, to follow it up with a "do I really need it now?" A sort of two-factor authentication for my purchases. If getting said thing prevents me from being able to...

    How weird that there's all this Babyface Killer merch like a day after I finally watch the first movie (I know the Toony was announced a while ago, just let me feel special). The cloth figure looks nice, but I'd really prefer an Ultimate. Same with Grabber; I'd say he may be popular enough...

    Isn't that why most folks pronounce it "Man-aise?"

    The Complaint Thread

    That's a topic that becomes more near and dear to me the older I get. Here in NY, there are so many places where SO much is behind glass. At some pharmacies it's almost everything- candy, shampoo/body wash, vitamins, etc. It's easier to list the things that aren't behind glass. Our Targets vary...

    I don't mind spoilers, personally. There's certainly some things that I go into not wanting to be spoiled- if it means a lot to me, then I'll avoid, but otherwise, if I get spoiled, it's no biggy. Seeing how it plays out is just as interesting as what plays out. But I do agree that it's getting...

    Attention span is at an all time low, I'll admit, but I also wonder how much of it is just because something doesn't align with their personal wants and opinions. I had an old work acquaintance who, though I can't remember what show it was- GoT, maybe? Walking Dead? - would miss incredibly...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    Think I like the colors of the regular Pyg a bit more, but that blood splatter is pretty nice. Definitely helps the spook factor a bit. Updated Azbats looks quite good as well. Bet it's gonna be a pain to find, though

    Some of my mom's favorite Christmas watches are It's A Wonderful Life, The Night Before, and Scrooged, so needless to say, we watched all of them this week. Got a few more days here and I plan on watching Batman Returns and Curse of the Black Pearl, which have become Christmastime watches for...

    Not news, per se, but just really happy to be back home this week for the holidays. Especially as my mom's health gets worse, I've been cherishing these moments as much as I can, however bittersweet they're becoming. I also got to spend some time with my uncle and his family- been really trying...

    I always dug the Scarecrow costume, and really wish we'd gotten to see it on screen as was briefly planned (albeit for a short scene, I think). As iconic as the Ghostface costume is, I'd love to see them switch it up a bit, and not just a crusty, cracked mask. I was hopeful Chromeface would...

    Don't really know all that much about the Conjuring movies; I've seen the first 2 and liked them well enough. I got the previous figures just because the franchise is such a horror staple anymore, but as someone who kept seeing the Crooked Man figure before I saw the movie, and then seeing that...

    Articulated Thoughts General Movie and Series News & Discussion

    I enjoyed Avatar 3, personally. It felt like something actually happened this time, versus in 2, when it was just kind of an effects reel. In fact, one could argue too much happened in 3, but I still found myself enjoying it. Some good character moments for sure. I've heard surprisingly good...

    I'm interested in this one but it seems relentlessly depressing. That said, I'm glad that Jessie Buckley is finally getting the credit she deserves- been a fan for a while

    You'll hear no complaints from me regarding Scenes with Peen. Having been subjected to many a "2-piece and a taco combo", if you will, I'm all for a glimpse at the glizzy. I've had discussions with friends before on why they don't show more weens on TV and the general consensus is that...

    Star Trek

    Got notice from BBTS that the 09 Pike is due to hit my POL soon. Cancelled the order, though. Too bummed that all we're getting is a bunch of white dudes (and one Asian) in various colored shirts. I know that's technically most action figures, but still. Sometimes we get aliens in shirts too.

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    Part of me is bummed that there's not more to the Bane and Joker re-releases. I was hoping for at least a swappable head or fabric coat or something for Joker, but I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't happy to save a little money. Those extra accessories are nice, but not worth the price just to...

    Deadpool and Wolverine Legends.

    Got everyone except brown suit Wolvie for now. Might end up cancelling Cowboypool and waiting for a sale, but he's just charming enough right now that I snagged him. Depending on how he turns out, the new sleeveless Wolvie might become my default and I'll offload the original one. He just looks...

    Totally forgot about the wave dropping- packing for a holiday trip out to see the family- but I just hopped on Amazon and managed to get the ones I wanted. Everyone was available when I went to check, so if anyone missed them before, maybe give them another try.

    Star Wars Black Series

    Now that we seem to be getting seperate helmeted heads instead of the flimsy plastic ones, I really hope they start giving us separate sabers- one with the blade permanently attached and one without a blade. Like ya'll, I've just had one too many sabers break or refuse to go back in the hilt...

    For me, it would be Wolverinepool. At least Cavillrine appeared in the movie, and is a fun little bit of fan casting. Would be cool to have a Wolverine head that isn't Hugh Jackman for once, too. Could swap him onto other bodies for more personalization. Hoping for DP2 Juggs, meself. Even...

    Marvel Toys on Sale

    I appreciate you checking it out! The Oak Park one is the closeest one when I go to visit family and it's so hit or miss. Same with all the Ross stores nearby. I always see the Ross Con posts, but by the time I make it home, it's slim pickins.

    That's what I was gonna ask. 😅 The first pic I saw was the lady and kid on the swing, and I was like "Damn, he's young! Or a lady!"

    General Marvel Legends

    Much as I'd love a Nicepool, it seems the cards are stacked against him for a couple reasons. Ryan Reynolds doesn't seem to really loan out his likeness rights easily- it's why we don't have an unmasked Wade yet. Plus, they've all but admitted that Nicepool was based on/making fun of Justin...
