***raises hand***... nostalgia straight into the veins, please. I ordered both items... 2x on the FF. I would have ordered three, but "limits". It feels like three is the minimum needed in a dio setup to give the look of "many", so I might have to use some photoshop magic to get the effect...

In case anyone is after the SDCC Joe items, they go up at 1pm on pulse today for premium, tomorrow for all others. EDIT: dang, Fatal Fluffies already sold out in under 4 min, and they had a limit of 2... o_O

Very nice. My kids have that schleich castle too. It was great for the price... it was so cheap when we found it that I bought a second one that is still sealed. It's pretty darn big when you get it setup.

No doubt. When Marvel, DC, SW, Joe, MOTU, Thundercats, and a zillion smaller companies and lines are all in the 6-7" scale, it's hard for anyone to buck that trend. I mean, 1:18 still has ARW, Super7, JoyToy, Marauders, all the various kickstarter campaigns for o-rings and others... but they...

I saw those for the first time last week. The prominent ball shoulders that remind me of old ToyBiz marvel legends are a bit of a turnoff. It's like they're using 2008 figure construction. Even Vala was better than this out of the gate. That plus the $41/ea price pretty much eliminates any...

Oh, I'm not surprised that you want Lara to be realistic. I'm not new here ;) Regardless of franchise or era, I think I'm just enamored with whatever version I liked first or have the most exposure to. I like my O13 to be mostly-realistic... I like my Dreadnoks to be punk... I'm ok with my...

That's funny, I had the exact opposite reaction. I was wishing they made her bustier and gave her red round little sunglasses, as the modern game look is too tame and generic for my tastes. My roomie and I played the heck out of TR I, II, and III back in the late 90s. Lara doesn't look right...

Ordered Flash, Falcon, and She-Blueshirt from AMZ today. That Flash looks stellar. I so feared they would find a way to Lenny him up, but other than the lower part of the pants being pseudo-shin guards, he's nearly perfect.

Nice, I'll likely cancel my pulse order too. Might as well get 5% back from amazon.

Yeah, I didn't know she was going up today, and for some reason I thought she was a Pulse exclusive (she's clearly not). I just happened to be at my desk when the email from Pulse came through just after five o'clock, and I snagged three of them... two for me, one for my college roommate who...

Movie retros... we're already getting Falcon this year. Chuckles seems like a lock for retro '27... and Serpentor is almost a sure thing.... and a better v2 Roadblock seems likely. But that's only three. I'm guessing USA Sarge will get released in the last wave after everyone buys the TTT...

I saw the RV listing next to Psyche-Out on HP this morning, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I got my small 3-man squad RV allotment in the first go-round. He's a "not bad" figure, definitely above average for the 90s, but I'm surprised he got a rerelease. The Big Ben pics are likely...

I have two of the regular SNAKE (and a pair of the S7 classic SNAKE), but I don't have much use for a red version... you know how I feel about rando crimson repaints. The twins get crimson guardsmen, that's it. Lawyers and accountants with secret red outfits in their closets don't need...

HAHAHAHAHAHA, that is so fugly. I wasn't buying one no matter what, b/c stupid concept, but if I were a big fan of the original, I'd be pissed. That was clearly done by the same half-wit that designed the fugly AWE Striker.

Done. Thanks, Boss.

Yeah, the base Dusty figure was pretty meh. If only he'd had some kneepads! :rolleyes: However, I modified mine substantially too. He got the gridiron kit with a much better helmet, helmet skirt, gun, and backpack. I also redid the paint on his face (using a clean tigerforce Dusty head) and...

Kneepads are practical, and I understand including them when they "modern update" character decos... although I think they ruin the nostalgia-factor aesthetics to a degree. Same with the plate carriers and other tactical vests... practical but too "COD:Modern Warfare" for my taste. But the...

Yeah, I get all of that... but does it have to look so... "Starship Troopers"? I mean, the whole line seem captive to one former employee's highly skewed vision of "kewl". It's truly maddening. I think of Joe as fictional-Delta, a very specialized rapid response team, not an entire military...

The kneepads and shinguards... Ugh... they all look like edgelord soccer players. For the love of pete, WHY?! WHY DO THEY THINK THIS IS WHAT SOLDIERS WOULD WEAR?! I asked AI if this was normal: "No, elite military operators (like Green Berets or Navy SEALs) do not typically wear hard-shell...
