I'm surprised with all the exclusives and reuse we never get disguised Baroness and Zartan. Or Jaye.

I now want an entire series of Snake Eyes in Hats. Recondo's. Shockwave's. Leatherneck's. An Imperial officer's.

I've had this hat on my desk for months, I throw it on practically every new figure just for a laugh, I'm kind of sad to leave it on Snake Eyes permanently but hey he just looks too good!

YOU just blew my mind.

An old tech company I worked with back before tech lost its damned mind got it in their head to make an action figure of the company's marketing mascot, who was an incredibly stupid CEO making suggestions about how to improve cybersecurity. (The actor deserved some kind of Oscar.) This was back before... all the things, when the marketing department could be legitimately funny. My boss talked them into letting us make a commercial with PUPPETS. Anyway, the action figure came with a bunch of trinkets from his different ads. A messenger pigeon meant to replace email, a shock collar for preventing people from opening spam... and a mug that just says CEO on it. It's perfect 1/12 scale. I am constantly using that for pics of characters like Cobra Commander, Destro, Doctor Doom...

OMG, they still have some of those ridiculous ads online. The company is trash now after some private equity suicide, but back when I was working with them the team I was on was the most well-run, fun corporate team I'd ever worked with. (Literally the last time I worked in tech where I fully trusted my colleagues, honestly.)

No pigeons were harmed in the making of this video

Who needs email when you have morse code

This one I warned them would get us sued by Warner Brothers

The actual action figure

Anyway, off to take some photos of Fancy Cobra Commander waving his CEO coffee cup at someone like a Karen

Saw a review of armoured CoCo and cancelled my pre-order, first one I’ve done that for. Basically, the blue is too dark and the metal portions finish dull and frankly cheap looking. It just doesn’t pop like the original colours did, I miss the bright blue and silver.

 

[Ru1977]

Maybe they'll do a retro version that'll be more like it.

That APC thingie is $400. And I have nowhere to put such a thing, but they totally nailed my "classified version of the Aliens APC" dream vehicle, damn them

If the SnowCAT doesn't fund...I think I might spend that money on the Phalanx.

 

[Ru1977]

The snowcat was my first vehicle and I always loved the design. I also really dig the changes they have done with the haslab. That said, if I had the kind of fun money to be able to choose between that and the phalanx... I would pounce on that phalanx like my wife when she gives me that smile. Well...not exactly the same way, but I would be eager.

[Ru1977]

That's fair. Also fair because look at how much room that thing has in the rear!

Though... Sadly, I haven't worn it since last Halloween when I didn't win the costume contest at work and was such a bitch about it (internally). Some coworkers are already getting hyped up for me coming in with it again this Halloween but I have to do it for the love of the suit rather than believing I can win a prize over the person who paints a mustache on her lip to resemble the head of a different department.
