I'm not sure who's paying $30 when Pulse et al are still charging $25. Even BBTS only adds $1 to MSRP. Maybe they're anticipating tariffs on chinese goods... :panic:

Yeah, not sure what that's about. I'm guessing AMZ is just testing elasticity of demand. Hopefully they learn that an extra five bucks is a hard pass...

Yeah, I can't decide whether to display the Dragonfly or bring it to the office studio where there is more shelf space and more opportunity to photography it. But if I display it, what comes down? MP TFs? Bowen X-Men statues? Haslab Skystriker? Black Series Snowspeeder? The Rattler is...

I'm down for all of it until you get into the weirdo sub-teams and ECO-Ninja-Sky-Tiger-Patrol. Another Dreadnok? Yes for sure. Night-Viper? Probably the neatest Cobra troop made after '86. Sci-Fi? Absolutely, probably my favorite '86 character after Hawk and Beachhead. Glow-y MASS...

There's definite similarities for sure... although I don't know what movie/show that character is from. There are newer decos of the Pandora character that are very Harley Quinn-esque, while her original outfit is very "Zarana". I'm not into the Vala fiction, so I can't say if the similarities...

Belt-fed is the correct answer. Pandora is the Valaverse evil chic... kind of a cross between Zarana and Harley Quinn. She's probably the best/most popular figure in that line. And she makes an excellent addition to the Dreadnoks. Bloody variant:

I liked them both as well... although the safety glasses went into the parts bin, likely never to be seen again. So useless. While he's a well done figure, the character is one of my least favorite (behind Bazooka and Sarge, of course). He was so overbearing in the cartoon (he never quit...

I normally don't take notice of transforming robots that aren't G1 characters, but this thing looks badass. Doesn't really fit in my collection, but it's so unique, it makes you want to invent a character around him. Nazi tank decepticon feels very on-brand, like a lost member of the DJD or...

Those are spendy. Where do you buy them? Never bought any, but I see them on the PO list at showz all the time. Might save you some $$$ to order directly from asia. (If youv'e never used showz, they're great. I've bought thousands of dollars of stuff from them). JoyToy Source Action Figure...

Found on Magic Square's Weibo... Translating english to chinese and back to english is fun: "May the leadership module dispel the darkness for us - until all are united ......" :LOL:

So I finally got around to swapping the heads on my Falcons, and... the NF head sits WAAAAAY lower on the neck and looks ridiculous. It looks really bad and even worse when you add the scarf back on, like his head is sitting directly on his shoulders. How did you get it to sit higher? Did you...

I found a ReAction+ Serpentor at Target today. No sign of Duke, Ramar, or FF, but Serpentor is pretty sweet, probably the best o-ring version of the character by far. While not the most detailed or the most PoA, there is something profoundly charming about these classic o-ring figures. They...

Leatherneck, Zandar, and Saw Viper in the house! Once again, Amazon beats Pulse. Remind me why I'm a "premium" pulse member? First access to Pulsecon exclusives I guess, but that hardly seems worth it...

So Pulse shipped Zandar, Leatherneck, and SAW Viper today... and amazon lists all three as ready for 1/24 delivery. But both of them are silent on Dial-tone's availability (still Forevertober), like he's not part of the same wave/case. Very strange.

Nice! I bought a reversable green/blue screen just for inserting backgrounds if I don't have a suitable environment for a dio setup. I got a subscription to Leonardo.ai, and it has a lot of different image engines. I really like the anime one, as it makes backgrounds that look like they could...

I just cut that stupid rubber skirt off Storm Shadow v2, and he looks substantially better.

I think all your wishes will come true in the next 18 months. Night Viper and HEAT Viper (and maybe a Frag Viper?) were my last cobra troops as a kid too. Night viper is pseudo-practical, while HEAT viper just looks cool. HV is stupid but fun. I read his file card, but back in the day, I...

Rock on. Amazon says I should be getting that whole wave in a couple of weeks. Pulse won't be far behind. While I like the wave, none of the figs are my favorite characters. Leatherneck and Dialtone are simply there to fill out the '86 ranks. Zandar, while not a character with lots of...

DX9 back from the dead and releasing a mighty sharp MP Sideswipe. I would have preferred clear windows and turn signal covers vs the blue, but that's a minor gripe. Overall, I'm liking this thing's potential, makes MP-12 (which I've always loved) look pretty dated.
