Hawk arrived today, and he's solid. Can't say there are any major surprises, but everything about him is as you'd expect. Deco and gear are nice. If I had a nitpick, I'd have wanted a better rifle than the shotgun and grenade launcher he came with. I assume if he needed firepower, he'd have...

So still waiting on a few things but made real progress over the holiday. It's funny, as I slowly progressed with the plague and their gear, I spent a lot of time in my Joe and ML parts bins as well as perusing mercari, and the more I looked for things, the more I ran across that would be...

Obviously not the Plague, but I put this one together while all that black paint is drying...

Well, I can report that Ripper is a pretty darn cool figure. I like the buck he's on (Range viper?) better than Buzzer's. I've never been fond of the Destro legs that Buzzer has. His glasses fit better than Buzzer's too, revealing a teardrop tattoo and a pretty creepy facial expression...

Yeah, I'm expecting Hawk on 12/1-ish, and Shockwave sometime a week or two later...??? you'd think figures in the same wave would ship together, but maybe Pulse is buying whole cases that are on different slow boats from china or something. Didn't get a chance to open up Ripper last night...

So my last three retro SE bodies arrived AND Ripper showed up from AMZ as well. Now if they'd get on the ball with Torch... I can't imagine the other two without him.

That's a shame. There are like 2 people on the interwebs who actually found $5 CGs, otherwise it's been a big tease. Spent the weekend dyeing parts, building accessories, and getting all the plague gear "just so" to help distinguish them all from one another. It's a lot of black. I'm getting...

I love the fact that it's a functional part of the room, not just a dio piece.

Oh, and I have to say, I appreciate the suggestion a long while back to look for various parts on Mercari. There's really only about three guys that make up the bulk of the listings on there, but they part out every damn figure. If I make up a custom figure and buy all the parts, it's not...

Amazon sale on some fairly recent Joes... Grunt , RnR $17... Viper 3-pack down to $39... I couldn't pass up getting another one...

If you find a cheap Shipwreck during the holiday sales, might want to pick one up for yourself for two reasons. 1) everyone needs an extra shippy head for their non-sailor, tactical deco 2) I found a guy in australia who makes a vest/head/cap to make an LBC Cutter. The vest is more modern...

So, I had a very busy weekend customizing and learned quite a bit. It'll be a few more weeks before I have anything good to show off, but maybe after the thanksgiving weekend. My plan to make a NF Lady Jaye was a colossal bust. I got the head, neck, and arms swapped, only to learn that...

Ok, that was pretty fun. I can't imagine I could make anything better. Like you say, the vehicles are the weakest part, and I'm not sure I wouldn't use straight up cartoon footage for those, especially the establishing shots. Still it was fun. Not sure if I'd write a new script of try to...

Oh, for sure. No way I could do a whole episode or anything, but a scene or two would be pretty entertaining. Maybe try the original intro o_O... good lord that would be so chaotic, I'd go insane.

Yeah, hopefully this winter I'll be able to do that. Still renovating my main office for another month or so, and after that I hope to start setting up the studio upstairs. I was just looking at all the Extreme Sets I've accumulated, not counting all the big dio pieces, and I won't even have...

I know you're not tempted, but BBTS, Amazon, and a few other etailers are liquidating a bunch of S7 Ultimates, including Joe W1. You can get all four for $99 @ BBTS... which is an absolute steal over the $220 MSRP. I got a couple more BATs for $22/ea and a Simpsons Moe for 50% off. While I'm...

Nice! I think I have one or two of those deep in storage along with tanks and watchtowers and bridges. I miss cheap army stuff from biglots.

I went to a different WM this morning, and I saw a retro CG in the wild for the first time! I didn't need another, but it gave me hope that the cases are starting to trickle out against the flood of LJ's still clogging pegs. Now if I could have just found a few more SEs...

I've got to have a MAC-10 from a marvel legends figure laying around... or maybe even a mezco punisher. GridIron and the like will probably put one out too for all the people who find that omission irritating. I could see the Valks going on sale this holiday... but the VAMP doesn't even come...

I hear you. Display is going to force some hard choices, and I have a feeling some DC properties are going to get the short straw. I've already cut back on the TF and SWB display space. I'm planning to potentially move some stuff to my actual work office like S7 Ultimate Joes and maybe the...
