Not sure how I completely missed this KS, but I placed a pre-order for five figures at The Fwoosh. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1764488827/articulated-icons-the-feudal-series-ninja-action-f Articulated Icons: Painted FEP Samples | The Fwoosh Anyone that's into Marvel Legends/...

I know this is probably a stupid question, but is there anything special to know about dyeing action figures? Particular brands of dye? Special techniques? Cautionary tales? Is it as simple as buying some RIT and following the instructions?

Anyone interested in these? I have to admit, they are sparking my interest. Not much military 6" to go with all the Marvel Legends, DCUC, and MOTU figures. It feels like these have a lot of potential if they meet the minimum goal...

My son (age 8) spent considerable time making a stop-motion animation "movie" this summer. Actually, he wanted to go to stop-motion camp (yes, it exists), and I explained that we could do that better at home (you know, because the idea of melding photography and expensive software I don't know...

Now distributed by Diamond. They are the "middle man" your father warned you about. Incompetent and greedy. Don't expect to get anything from Bandai at mass market, and don't expect to get it from anyone else except at considerable markup. Doh! Diamond Appointed Master Distributor For...

Ok, this isn't new, but it needs to get brought up on occasion, just to make sure no one takes this stuff too seriously, even nostalgia wanks like myself. The 10 Most Useless Members of G.I. Joe And another list: Top 10 Lamest G.I. Joe Action Figures - Film Junk Notice some overlap. Those...

Legendary comic book artist Herb Trimpe has passed away, age 75. Known as a co-creator of Wolverine, the guy worked on nearly every major character at some point. I would guess that most of us here got to know his work through early issues of the original Marvel GIJoe series, and he penciled...

Anyone know of a good head sculpt for this guy? I'm in bad need of a Raylan Givens custom, which should translate easily into a Seth Bullock custom as well. The guy is a badass of the nth order, reminds me of Eastwood in his prime. I'm so sad that Justified is ending... the same way I...

- I was amused when they announced Rock n Roll - I was intrigued when they announced Stalker - But I just can't resist a big ol 12" V1 Snake Eyes in vintage packaging Damn you Gentle Giant. I don't have the money or space to devote to this, but damn, it's not like I can ignore it! Thanks a...

I recently moved into my new house (finally!), and I'm getting box after box after box of toys out of my storage unit. Many of these boxes are full of my ARAH MOC collection. In displaying them on the wall (by year of course) in my new man-cave, I got to the end of the class of '82, and there...

While the likes of KOToys and chimungmung have been the target of international IP lawyers, there are still lots of G1 TF KO's being produced. You just have to know where to look... TNI just reported today that a G1 Scorponok KO was available, and while looking for it, I also discovered that...

Say what you will about the village-people-like Dreadnoks, but apparently it was on the verge of being much worse... http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2013/07/05/comic-book-legends-revealed-426/2/ EXCERPT: Return of the Jedi was a major success in 1983, and perhaps the...

One of my favorite pieces of vintage Joe artwork was the "To the Rescue" poster that adorned the '83 catalog insert and was later available as a full-color mail away poster. That being said, I always wanted a high-res copy of that artwork, but the vintage posters are $$$$$. So after looking...

Just as I'm quick to bust on Mattel for their horrid excuses for 4" figures, here comes Hasbro to show us that they too can play the shitty-movie-figure game. It's 1977 again. Long live the t-crotch. http://marvelousnews.com/index.php?catid=252&itemid=15613 5 POA. In all honestly, this is a...

Disclaimer: I'm not shilling for these guys, just an admirer. These enterprising guys are selling a few kits of some crazy Bespin floors and stairs (computer designed, laser-cut). I'm on the list to buy one, and I thought there might be one or two SW guys around here that might have some...

Anyone ever try a triad display environment? I've got the Mayan and Pantheon enviros in my PoL. Can't wait to check them out. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=1875&company=573&category=6036 I thought this thread also might serve as a place to post some other cool playset...

I just saw this head available from Onyx and thought it was really cool. What are the odds Hasbro is going to make a Guido? http://onyxphoenixproductions.ecrater.com/p/15436161/sh-36 Feel free to post other cool MU parts here too.

So tonight I'm watching "The Enforcer" aka Dirty Harry 3, and the main bad guy at the beginning is shirtless wearing jeans and a leather vest. He has on a bit too much makeup wields a shotgun, killing people at a shanty. It struck me that this almost has to be the inspiration for Torch or...

May the fourth be with you!
