I got my discounted ST/SF set yesterday too. It's a good set, especially at the discounted price, but I will definitely be painting, dyeing, or replacing SF's torso/arms. I just haven't decided which method is likely to give me the best outcome. If they go on clearance, I might try them all...

I bought a $10 NF Tunnel Rat during the october prime-day-wannabe WM sale just so I could use his dark grey pants with short-king Mainframe. And I picked up another St/SF pack from target, as they came back in stock in the night and I used the 25% coupon. Getting that set for $36, even with...

Joe vests typically do have to be cut off. Pro tip, cut a waist strap at a long, shallow angle... ideally on the side/back. A shallow cut allows a lot of overlap between the parts (which superglue back together easily) and hides the cut really well. 1000% better than a square cut that will...

I think I'm flush on army builders, but those are some great deals. I'd be tempted in most cases...

I happened to be in the neighborhood of a couple of Targets today, and neither had a whiff of the ST/SF pack. I got mine from Target. I cancelled my backup order on Pulse once Target shipped because Pulse charged an extra $8 or something crazy... Just because. And that's what I get for...

Retro BATs and Steeler/Short-Fuze arrived today. I like the retro BAT even more than I thought I would. While the mold is identical to the first version, the clear chest, extra paint apps, weathering on the arms and attachments, red face plate, bright yellow boots and gear... it's what the...

Mauler – Rowdy Toys This is being produced by the same guy that sold the files for the ThunderMachine I printed. It was a great, fun build. This looks really well done, but I can't justify $300 for a 3d printed item. Hopefully he'll put the files up for sale one day once he's filled all the...

Today was unboxing day in the photo booth...

It's criminal that Hasbro didn't do this to start with. No excuse for having to spend this kind of money to make a $100 vehicle not suck. But boy, it shore is purdy now :)

Ok, I'm taking my chances with Target, cancelled the OG sets on HP, didn't want to take the chance that Pulse charges me their bonus gouge tax now that Target has shipped. It's a dangerous gamble.

Nice. The joe stuff is really flowing this fall after a long dry spell in the spring/summer. I used the most recent 15% DD coupon to order the new, overpriced S7 o-rings. The coupon shaved off nearly $4 each, so I bit the bullet. Latest retros just went up for PO an hour ago (Zap, Shiegee...

It's pretty spot on. I'm not sure I learned anything new, as all the info is pretty common knowledge at this point (especially for those of us that lived it), but it's a pretty good summary.

As a kid I was content most of the time at home with our UHF local channel that carried afternoon cartoons and Star Trek at 6pm (anything beat watching the news). At some point it became our FOX affiliate, but they never had programming until primetime, so the channel was unchanged during the...

No, not really. We lived in the boonies and got four channels. BUT, my dad got cable at the office, so we could watch it there. We spent a lot of time there b/c mom frequently needed to go back to the office after school... and on days we were sick, we went to work (my sister and I had our...

Wow, this is another show, like The Prisoner, that I have never heard of. I watched a ton of 60's and 70's reruns growing up in the 80s, but this never crossed my path. You must have had some interesting cable channels growing up to have seen such niche programming!

Hahaha, I appreciate the vote of confidence. I'm sure it's not *easy*, but I know for sure I could come up with some prompts resulting in better faces than those. Mostly I think they should use someone with talent, maybe an actual artist that understands both anatomy and the property, rather...

What's worse is that someone on TFW posted the art that was submitted for these by the homage artist... and it's laughable, especially Zap. Hasbro actually improved them, if you can believe it. Still doesn't explain why they're not using the original to begin with, but the submitted art faces...

100%. I have those thoughts too. The goofy charm of ARAH has not gone away.

Can't unsee...

- Zap looks pretty darn good, no notes. - Female CG (i.e. "Shiegie") is nice enough. I didn't need a female CG, but eh, it's not bad. - CL with angry screaming face is just terrible. You're going to need the NF version just to get a normal head. And it seems they still have not figured out...
