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...

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.
