I have yet to see a sale on anything I needed more of. They're going to have to get more aggressive than $18-20 to trip my radar. Got Sci-Fi yesterday (haven't opened yet), and my other greenshirts are out for delivery (they've been "out for delivery" three days in a row... I think my AMZ...

Speaking of cheap metal-heads, I saw where some people are using his lower half to give mainframe some extra height and darker pants. While I think it looks better than the base munchkin, it makes the torso and legs a little disproportionate. In my home display, I decided to keep my custom...

Lenny is a 90's kid, and sometimes it shows clearly.

It makes sense... but damn, you gotta think of the PR that accompanies projects that fail this spectacularly.

So they were aware they gimped the project before it was ever announced. Nice. It's almost like they wanted to make sure it failed. :unsure: There is no way they put out that campaign as we see it now and expected it to fund.

Why didn't it?

Yeah, that's $100 worth of stuff at best. Even at that price I don't know that they'd get 10k backers, but it'd be far more likely.

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...
