    Does it have much articulation? For 3.75", there's an 18" 4th party knocked-up version of the Magic Square MP Prime figure that is pretty cheap, and it's got full MP-style articulation.

    Oh, they're definitely pointier than the OG toy... I decided to skew them a little more toward "real world", as the MIM-23 is a fairly pointy missile. The '82 toy was more blunt, presumably because of toy safety laws. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Ok, I finally got my act together this weekend, figured this would be a good thing to work on while football played in the background. My vision and steadiness aren't quite what they used to be, so my hand-painted "decals" are not going to win any awards, but they'll look ok from a galloping horse.

    Agreed, it's been quite a run. And honestly... this is going to sound like a brag, but that's not my point... with what I've got cooking in the printer these days, I don't even care if the line continues. I mean, I'd *prefer* that it keeps going and give us new figures, improved sculpts, and...

    I've definitely posted a few shots of mine here, but not sure if that's what you're thinking of. Either way, I'm plenty happy with my own. That new thing is not better IMO... and definitely not $125 better. Then again, I don't have a single bolt-on missile pod, so mine will certainly be...

    *I* have printed better looking 3D printed ones. :LOL: I also don't know why the surface of this MTO looks less like junkyard parts and more like some kind of rhino skin. The weird texture only adds to the weird proportions and goofy add-ons. But I cannot get past the front-end looking...

    Thunder Machine up for PO... and it's still fugly. And unlike the arctic HISS, they're collecting the TM money at the end of the PO window. So it's basically a haslab without the MOQ and tier perks.

    I had planned to skip Overkill... because 90's... but much like SAW Viper, I do remember him from the comic, and AMZ had him "used" for $19, so I took a gamble after the successful Renegades adventure last week. He arrived complete and unharmed. The box was all kinds of crushed, but as it was...

    Just toys... ;) But yeah, I'm working on some pretty sweet stuff. The new beast printer is allowing me to do things the older one simply could not. I've got about 3hrs left on a 42 hour print... fingers crossed. Anycubic did not offer me a new unit, but they did offer free replacement parts...

    I was working on a big project, running both printers at once... and I kept getting errors out of the older one. I started it back up this morning, only for it to fail again minutes later. So I started it one more time, and sparks, flames, and smoke started flying out. Apparently the main...

    It's not a big deal... if you open him, you probably have a parts bin where you can steal a longer one... and if you're not opening him, no one's going to be examining close enough to notice. But yeah, it's strange that they got it right the first time and then screwed it up on the retro.

    Retro Grunt's card is indeed iconic. However they screwed up the figure compared to the regular release. They switched to the shorter neck barbell, so he has no neck, so weird. And they didn't give him the Stalker webgear, opting for something less than OG. But in a display of big card art...
