That's actually a good angle for CL. I might use that. Mindbender as Dr Moreau... Cobra La mutants... some of which could develop delusions of grandeur, actually inventing their own fictional backstory as an ancient race while really just being lab freaks. Like King Tut in Batman... just a...

Yeah, it's weird. I hated them back in the day... but I bought the 3-pack when it was on heavy clearance at Children's Palace (right before they went under). Yet I still have nostalgia for Cobra La no matter how much I disliked the way they were retconned into the mythos. Definitely not my...

Nemesis Enforcer going up for PO tomorrow... 1pm for premium, 2pm for all else. Unlike Dan, I'm on the fence. Some pics of him look pretty cool while others look kinda ghoulish, like he was designed by McFarlane toys, not hasbro. I'll probably order 1 for the studio, but I'm not feeling the...

There's more coming tomorrow during the 10/27 event, potentially some POs tomorrow as well. --------------------- Now that we're getting retro blonde CG, I'm going to use this head I ordered for my version of Bombstrike: ... if I can find a body I like. I guess I can make this version from...

Got the latest wave of S7 Ultimates, and I've been working on the setup of the photo studio, so I couldn't resist.

I do not understand the fawning over Heavy Duty. I already have a Roadblock. I like Roadblock. Why would I want or need a Roadblock knockoff? - Retro Flint - hell yeah. One of my top five fav characters, and he needed a classic refresh after the mediocre early figure. - Retro CG - I always...

I don't understand people's obsession with such an ugly and impractical vehicle. And yeah, that took a lot of effort, but the end result is questionable. I did own a Havoc as a kid, but in the Great Bedroom Wars™, it was usually the first vehicle to get hit by a cobra missile, flipped on it's...

I also have orders at Amazon for that wave. They're listed as 10/3/25. (If I'm buying more than one of something, I usually split my orders to hedge who might get them first or who might f#$% up my order/shipment. I trust no one.)

Even pulse has Leatherneck and Zandar listed for Aug '25, so I wouldn't hold my breath for Feb.

IDK, I use a VPN 98% of the time these days, even for casual browsing. So I never geo-match. Maybe send him an email and see if a human responds?

FYI, the retros (RnR, Mindbender, Viper) are up for PO at HP. Never got any email or saw any forum chatter elsewhere, just was randomly checking to see what was shipping next and saw them up. Feels like a glitch, but that didn't stop me from putting in an order.

Anytime there is a popular character in a deluxe or exclusive offering, it is assumed they will get a mainline release eventually. Thus Mindbender surprised exactly no one. Serpentor won't either, and like you say, "regular" Rip-Cord and Crazy-Legs are almost a given because the tooling is...

I disagree that Mindbender is a slap to people that hunted down the deluxe. Hasbro never promised that he'd never get a re-release or that he was somehow doomed to be behind an exclusive wall forever. Everyone assumed he'd get a mainline release with less accessories, the same as they all...

"Due to unexpected shifts in production, we're gonna have delays in 2025..." I read this as "Due to the bad orange man likely winning the election, we've decided to move some manufacturing out of chiner so that we won't be left holding the bag when he slaps them upside the head with tariffs and...

I have the original N-or-N Santa, and he's pretty cool. I wish they'd do more characters that aren't necessarily x-mas themed but ex-presidents or famous people from history. They could become the unlicensed niche-character company.

So I picked up Yolopark AMK Pro series Prime and Megatron 20cm model kits. They're really cool. Yes you have to put them together, but they're so simple, you don't need instructions (peg in the feet, legs, arms, shoulders, head, couple of panels... easy peazy). They're about an inch taller...

The entire retro trooper is VERY rubbery, not just the weapons. CoCo not so much, but the troopers are hella-bendy.

Starduster wasn't the only thing I opened today... I'm not sure about their terror plots or multi-level marketing schemes, but it feels like these guys are trying to take over the world using color saturation.

I like him! My only beef so far is that you can't get him in the pose on the cereal box. His head WILL NOT look up or even tilt that direction in the slightest. You can push it back, but you're just going to make the head pop off the neckball or the entire neck to dislodge from the torso. Maybe...
