What's strange about the whole strategy is that Hasbro (and the toy industry as a whole) has pretty much conceded that action figures, especially detailed 6" figures, are almost strictly the playground of adult collectors, as they've completely priced out kids and casual buyers. Only people...

Hopes dashed... they did not make him cooler. He's still a derpy chud with an inexplicably spherical noggin'. :LOL: Not sure if that's a new vest or a reuse/remold of the tripwire gear. Why does a guy with a drone and a periscope need to wear that much padding?!

Oh yeah, I saw him yesterday, and he was such a zero that I already forgot. This was my post at TFW: NGL, I would rather they'd given us Scalpel. Who is going to let the veterinarian work on them? Even in Cobra, presumably they want to continue living. Just like Parth Varma, the dino...

Word is that the upcoming Wal-Mart Cancel-Con joe figure will be Night Force Sneek Peek. I'm about as excited about that as I was Psyche-Out. :whatever: I would only want one to complete the '87 roster, and the NF colors are slightly less offensive than the classic deco. While I haven't seen...

hahaha, fat chance.... a lot of black, white, and greens

But you're right, Amazon credits won't sit around long. The Prime Day garage sale sucks, but I got good deals on 25 kilos of filament, so that should last a while, at least for those colors. 😆

Pulse finally shipped Flash, so I should have him by... halloween? I don't know if they're really slow or I'm just spoiled by amazon, but it "seems" like HP shipping takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r. I don't trust WM in the least after all the PO cancellations, simply not fulfilling orders while items are...

The retro tan is by far the best... but I really like the green a lot more than I would have suspected. As far as the size goes, the MOBAT always seemed like a hulking beast...taller and more imposing, while the mauler seemed lower, sleeker, and more maneuverable. I can't tell you what the...

The issue of the comic is relatively forgettable, really before the series found its footing. But if you want to see the O13 fighting Cobra in the middle of a parade, it's an amusing one-and-done story. ------------- I upscaled the MOBAT quite a bit from the CAD files... because the designer...

Finished assembling the "Tanks for the Memories" Mauler while waiting on Dan's FDE beast to finish printing. This is an homage to the green Mauler that the GIJCC sold in 2007... that never actually saw production because they discovered the original mauler molds were in poor shape and weren't...

I appreciate you looking out for me. I'd had the sarge-mercer set flagged on camelcamelcamel if the price ever got below $30, but the Prime Day price seemed like it was good enough that I'd probably regret passing, so I pulled the trigger. It's the same price most people are asking for a loose...

Well, Joe must be doing well, as the only item in the AMZ garage sale is the slaughter/mercer 2-pack. I reluctantly pulled the trigger. After the "used" deal on reddog and taurus, that completes the renegades for about $70 and gives me yet another slaughter for fodder. Not too bad, despite my...

Yeah, some states are trying to outlaw the dynamic pricing... because it feels gouge-y. Plus, as everything goes digital and all of these platforms build highly comprehensive profiles on every living person in the country, supposedly they very much want to migrate to algorithm-based pricing...

I've got all the other parts printed, cleaned up, and anything that isn't attached to the back 2/3 of the hull is assembled and ready to go... and I got the new spool in from AMZ (that was fast...). So it should be a quick build when the final piece comes out of the oven. I'll get attempt #2...

Nah, it's the price of doing business. If it didn't fail on that part, it would have been on another one. Filament spool issues are like getting a flat tire... it's not anything you can control, you can't predict it, and it's guaranteed to happen at the least opportune time. The struggle is...

Sad panda... big hull had a nozzle clog 80% of the way through a 42hr print. After a couple of hours, I got it to resume, but there was a missing layer or two that compromised the appearance and likely the structure. So I had to abort, and I'll have to order a new spool of material. If it had...

Progress, progress... front hull finished this morning as well. Gonna run the big chunk over the weekend. Should be good to assemble by monday. Fingers crossed. Biggest gotcha in assembly is getting the main gun base mounted to the turret (it's really tight...), and I did that successfully...

Even with non-trivial shipping, the figs cost somewhere between Classified/Valaverse and BigBadWorkshop/FreshMonkey. Ramen's Top Gun pilots were $80/ea, so $80 + shipping (no tax) for all three feels like a huge win. The car is large, but it's pretty. However, the figures are sold separately...

Tiger Orange 2.0 is up for PO, along with the Duke trio.... or as a package deal. https://ramentoy.com/collections/ramen-racer The GL upgrades are nice, but not enough for me to want to buy the vehicle again. But the figures... they look pretty good. And while I like my Classified Bo and...

In general I agree, but I do like Cooper quite a bit... and he's 1000% better than Tatum.
