I ordered 3x of this wave minus the GV. Got three Mainframe... and a week later got 3x Sci-Fi... and a week later got 3x Wetsuit. So yeah, it does seem less like a wave and more like a group of figures that just get released in a similar timeframe.

Wetsuits arrived from AMZ... in an envelope. Fortunately only one of them was crushed, but the figure doesn't look harmed. You'd think that getting that many figures would warrant a box, but this entire wave arrived that way, one SKU at a time, each in envelopes.

The deals were "ok"... but other than the retro Viper, they were all 2-yo figures that we've all bought for retail and on sale many times over. There just wasn't anything compelling that I needed to spend money on. Wetsuit and greenshirt should be my last Joes for the year. After that it's...

I opened Sci-Fi last night, and it's pretty solid. I have read a lot of gripes that he's not ARAH enough, green isn't bright enough, etc, etc... and I just don't see it. None of those things bother me. And YET, he seems off somehow. I can't put my finger on what exactly is bugging me, but...

I have yet to see a sale on anything I needed more of. They're going to have to get more aggressive than $18-20 to trip my radar. Got Sci-Fi yesterday (haven't opened yet), and my other greenshirts are out for delivery (they've been "out for delivery" three days in a row... I think my AMZ...

Speaking of cheap metal-heads, I saw where some people are using his lower half to give mainframe some extra height and darker pants. While I think it looks better than the base munchkin, it makes the torso and legs a little disproportionate. In my home display, I decided to keep my custom...

Lenny is a 90's kid, and sometimes it shows clearly.

It makes sense... but damn, you gotta think of the PR that accompanies projects that fail this spectacularly.

So they were aware they gimped the project before it was ever announced. Nice. It's almost like they wanted to make sure it failed. :unsure: There is no way they put out that campaign as we see it now and expected it to fund.

Why didn't it?

Yeah, that's $100 worth of stuff at best. Even at that price I don't know that they'd get 10k backers, but it'd be far more likely.

I'd be fine with it if he were typically depicted that way. But before now, that hasn't been the case... so on the shelf next to the other Joes, he looks like a child dressed up as Mainframe for Halloween. EDIT: Dude's representing the Lollipop Guild...

It's a laughing stock at this point. Whoever greenlit this project needs to be kept far away from toy development. I mean, that whole franchise is a zeroburger. Thinking that people would pay $300 for o-ring figures from a 45yo movie that wasn't all that great and has single-digit fans...

Reusing that Tunnel-Rat buck just doesn't work for Mainframe, IMO. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

:cautious:

Progress...

FYI, AMZ has Trubble Bubbles and retro RnR on pre-black friday sale... $33 and $21 respectively.

100%, that battle gear pic is actually based on the cover to Marvel issue #1. That'll be on my short list of pics to take for sure. I'll use my custom valaverse Flash if they don't hurry up and get him out soon... but he's rumored to be in the '26 plan. He was (rumored to be) actually in the...

I suspect you're right... they just box up a bunch of the same figure as they come off the line and ship them. The other wavemates will be on soon enough... or I assume that's the philosophy. I'll probably have more time this winter after the holidays to work on that kind of stuff, but I...
