The author acts like this is the first he's ever heard of an adult buying toys. While I'm sure he could find examples of the worst kinds of collectors (his final comments presume that we're all scalpers or fanatical hot wheels collectors that push old people out of the way to get into the...

7 days to go, $2.4M pledged, lots more stretch goals unlocked... currently the second highest grossing comic KS ever, behind some Neil Gaiman project that net a little over $3M. For those not inclined to back such an endeavor or want to go with a cheaper option, the softcover omnibi are being...

NE looks like a McFarlane or NECA figure, almost reminds me of Diamond Select Juggernaut... just a massive chunk of dense plastic. He also looks like a pretty good self-defense weapon. Keep him on your nightstand in case something goes bump in the night.

Nemesis Enforcer looking... CHONKY!

Stingers are up at Pulse, AMZ, BBTS, and EE. (along with some chumps in Marauders colors) :sick:

Dying is tricky if you have more than one kind of plastic, as I've found hard ones take the dye better than soft plastics... but I've heard other people found the opposite. So getting everything the same shade might be tough. But even if you're going to paint, you might dye first, that way if...

To paint the white pants? I'd dye them with RIT synthetic. They have recipes for a zillion colors on their site... just don't leave stuff very long, as it can get darker than you want very quickly. 30 sec quick dips, rinse, check, and repeat as necessary. If you insist on paint, I prefer...

Both stretch goal figures have been unlocked and are available for PO at BBTS, in case anyone wanted a Red Hooded CoCo or a black RS trooper.

Update: 12 days to go, over $2.176M pledged, 16 stretch goals unlocked. It's pretty incredible that this could get the kind of support we're seeing but if these books were released via a normal Diamond/PRH comic shop solicitation model, the orders would be a small fraction to the point that...

Probably, but I think future generations might actually appreciate the tactile fun of *gasp* using their imaginations to create a world and story for their figures to act out rather than have it all force-fed via VR or something. Our kids kinda got caught in the crossover. I feel bad for them...

What's funny is, I remembered that when I built my house and made the door to the kids' closets next to the bedroom doors so my wife wouldn't have to traverse the room for laundry purposes. Keep the battles undisturbed. And of course, my kids rarely had such events. The boy had some big...

My dad built our house (contractor) and we moved in late '84. My room was a little larger than average, so I had a lot of floor space and good deep-pile carpet that you could bury joe feet in, and they'd remain standing (very key). While smaller battles did occur, every couple of months I'd...

The comic omnibus set kickstarter that's going on or the big artwork slipcase? One is great, and the other will be. For father's day, I got to buy my kids a car... :unsure: Drove to Cincinatti on monday to pick it up. They have no clue how good they have it. I never had the FLAGG, but I...

I pretty much agreed with everything he said. He did briefly mention the file cards towards the end when he basically said canon was a mish-mash of everything we imagined in our heads as kids... and yeah, the file cards did play a large role in forming my thoughts about Joe, for one simple...

Yeah, I can see that. Then again, the earlier blueshirts still had the video game stink on them, something even the mainline classifieds figs have gotten away from. But no doubt, the retros are a little more bright and saturated. I'll try not to mix these blue guys into the same squad as the...

Dang, retro trooper is BLUE! I'll pick up a few, but they'll have to stick together and not mingle with the other blueshirts.

He continually said the "ray gun" was inspired by Grand Slam... just like the itty bitty ditty bag line, that's the same kind of thing that makes me think he grew up in a later era. Anybody that grew up with the O13 knows that's Flash's gear, not Grand Slam's. And it's not even something you...

Yeah, I didn't catch the Footloose name reveal until a couple days later too. Did they mumble?! I actually like whatshername, Emily. She brings a quirky enthusiasm that no human should have that didn't grow up playing with these toys. She seems to have embraced the oddball nature of Joe...

Damn, I don't care about GB much, but those look great. I'll be tempted if they aren't $20/ea. EDIT: Seems BBTS has the set for $44. Makes you wonder why Joe O-rings are $20 if GB can do it for $11.... :unsure:

I think it'll fund. It looks great. Five years ago, they'd have gotten my money, but in 2024, I'm passing.
