Some interesting "in the pipeline" claims in the video: VAMP Mk II - If it's true, I'm absolutely there for it. Deep Six - not really a new claim, just some supposed new details. Lara Croft - I don't think those are official pics, but if she looks like that, I'll likely get one. Ninja Force SE...

I found a few minutes this morning while most of the family were out to open up the Sarge and Mercer pack. I had kept my expectations low, so I am actually pretty pleased, mostly. Both figs are solid and it came with a crap ton of weapons, most of which hadn’t appeared previously, at least for...

Yeah, not our Joe cartoon! I don’t think I’ve ever even watched a DiC episode. I’ve never heard enough good about them to chase them down and even Hasbro doesn‘t appear to be playing them with the Sunbows on YouTube, at least that I’ve seen pop up in my feed.

Wow, that's ambitious! I can't wait to see some samples! I got the CoCo, Destro and Baroness right. I definitely did not get the LJ. I thought for sure that would be Duke. I even used to consider the cartoon the Duke show, because he seemed to always be on screen. I guess my Mandela effect was...

I read you. In the end it's all made up lore in a made up universe. I think the issue is the perceived double standard or objectification that nearly always exists between the male and female characters in mass media. The more enhanced and less properly clothed they are, the more that will be...

Swerving back into TL;DR territory below... apologies in advance. Yeah, the art/design folks back in the 80's were definitely pushing a little more toward the edges of the envelope for both the male (Zandar, Mindbender, etc.) and female characters, more so with the card/comic/toon art, since...

Oh, I’m not suggesting H’bro has to go full frumpy. With the exception of Covergirl v.1’s butterface, they’ve made some fairly attractive female figs on both sides. But I also know that they wouldn’t be able to suddenly start sculpting disproportionately large chests with suggestively pointy...

I don't know much about DG besides recalling the particular artistic style of the comic, which, like TR, would probably need a bit of toning down for the post #metoo era. Now that you mentioned it, I am reminded that back when I used to be a 1:6 collector, I had both a leather-clad (was that...

Wow, that came out of nowhere, but I'm also onboard with it. However, while I fully acknowledge I'm in the minority, I'm much more fond of the more recent video game version (the one with pants, climbing axe, bow and a proportional body) than the one depicted in the 30 logo at the bottom. I...

Yeah, I had heard that a VC predatory buy out was the final nail, but that they had had some issues with their toy mfr partners that led to that eventuality, but that’s just what I heard. I hope that those kinds of predatory practices have since been made illegal and cut off the profit by...

Yeah, there have only been a few times I’ve found myself with enough leftover time and energy to do any kind of leisure shopping while in South America, Europe, Asia or even Oceana. When I do, I gravitate to the larger department stores or actual toy stores when those are present. It always...

Here’s hoping that the young talent will get to rise and guide the line after the current Lenny-driven plans finish up. I would imagine that his last plans finally include delivery of the remaining OG, more late stage Joe and also some more new/weird stuff (the last two being my least favorite...

Apparently he was more of the execution guy for Lenny’s “big picture“ designs. Together they were the face of the design team. My hope is that maybe this will actually stabilize the line away from the weird and to the “safe” releases we haven’t gotten yet.

Another one bites the dust… https://toynewsi.com/278-63516

I don’t, I usually just swing by a couple times a day or so, How’s the camel thing work?

And... I just ordered Sarge and Mercer from AMZ. I'm not proud of it, but they had a good coupon and I had some play money that got me down to less than $10 out of pocket so I did it. Do I need another Sarge? Absolutely not. But I did want to lock in Mercer as he was a bit of a favorite back in...

So I finally found a minute to open up the Zanya/Chameleon set and get it up and displayed. While nothing particularly outstanding, the Chameleon does fine as the center piece of the Zartan/Dreadnok/other-assorted-freaks shelf. I'd characterize it as about as good as the original, since it was...

Yeah, AMZ is weird for us. Sometimes we get stuff super fast, even without using Prime. And then there are other items that take forever even when my wife uses my daughter's Prime to speed things up. I'm pretty sure those must be through a third party seller or something. I think we have a...

Yeah, endcap or island displays seem the most likely since most stores don't seem to have dedicated shelf space these days. I think I've seen one of those islands like you mentioned as well, but never one of those cardboard CS Joe end caps that were showing up a couple months ago. I'll be down...

Gotta love that buttery flakeyness (is that a word?) that only WM can bring... :troll: I can't say for sure whether or not the novelty and nostalgia will overtake me in the moment if I do see one in the wild (which seems nearly impossible these days since none of the WMs near me carry anything...
