I'm sorry, it's my fault. Had I overpaid for one at the time, they would have released it in twelve different slightly different repaints, all better than the SDCC one. But since I skipped it, it's become as scarce as unicorn tears. And now Hasbro is setting us all up for massive price...

Never. A couple of people copied it and sold them on ebay, but you either had to paint it yourself or pay a small fortune for a custom painted one. I've never known hasbro to make a mold for a single use like that, never to be reused, repainted, or reissued. So I just assumed we'd see it...

Oh, yeah, the proto is much cheaper if you're just interested in the mold. That would be the way to go.

AFAIK, there are no immediate plans for a new release. There have been several in the vintage-card releases over the last decade. But it'll probably not be available on the cheap. VC09 (empire, return, & revenge cardbacks) Vintage 3-Pack (Villain Set) VCP03 (rocket firing mail-away)

It's the state of action figures today. People complain about $20 Marvel Legends, so.... Just speaking for me personally, I think I don't see much in the 4" space from anyone that excites me. I have many thousands of 4" joes, and tons of custom cast parts that I'll likely never use up before...

My target has none, so I had to order it from their website + pay for shipping. And to top it off, they mailed it in a box that was way too small and folded over the card to make it go in. WTF Target!

It's true. We were the perfect ages both times around. Well, I broke down and pledged to this KS. I'm more interested in the two female stretch goals that probably won't unlock than the base figures on offer, but given the lack of any kind of military figures at 6", I feel the need to support...

That 25th comic 2-pack routinely sells for $75-100. But Hasbro was still learning how to screw us then. In the interim, they broke up the pair in kreo and the club figures, practically guaranteeing that all but the most determined and deep-pocketed would fail to get both. I was looking at...

Maybe. Based on MOTUC, $40 seems doable. Based on the GIJCC, $40 is the cost of a 4" figure. But I'm convinced that the club did everything uber-inefficienctly, as even 4" kickstarter campaigns seem to do figures with 100% new molds cheaper. The stupid club was reusing 90% of the parts and...

MOTUC was a specialty line, and they were usually sub-30 plus shipping, at least until the last year or two when the number of people subbing fell off a cliff. I'm not asking for a comprehensive line of every figure in the ARAH line. I don't need a 6" Skidmark. But there are about 30 joes and...

I'm mildly curious about this. I've wanted 6" Joes for years, but I'm not sure how these folks are using Action Force ™ without being sued into oblivion by Hasbro/Palitoy. These guys seem to have some up with their own mythology that somewhat parallels the Joe mythos. I don't think it'll...

Mega's MOTU stuff has proven that properties that have no current cartoon, movies, or game tie-ins can still sell well. So anything is possible. I'm curious if we'll get another round of Terminator sets. The last ones sold pretty poorly, but there is a new movie on the horizon... I'm not a...

Hey, it only took exactly three years! I like the Wyatt Earp-looking marshall figure... but these fall into the "nice, but I don't know what I'd do with them" category. I wouldn't have enough for any kind of dio, and there's no specific nostalgia, just a general appreciation for westerns.

It looks like Optimus f#$%ed a Voltron. All jokes aside, I have nothing but extreme contempt for that shit. Beast wars and that post-g1 japanese fanfic are the worst thing to happen to TF that isn't named Michael Bay.

I'm still waiting on my PO from BBTS. I couldn't ignore their cheaper price and lack of tax. Saves me about $34 total on the set compared to WM or Amazon. Still, the wait gives me time to work on my Battlecat and Panthor customs. It's be nice to have them done when the castle arrives.

It's cool, but not something I need in my life. I still haven't watched a single episode yet -- the wife has seen all but the final season. She calls it "Boobs & Dragons". I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually. I care not for the dragon, but I'd really like the figure. I wonder if GoT...

Yeah, they'll have to pry gundog out of my cold dead hands.

I mean, he's definitely red, not red-red like MP12, but the extreme matte finish makes him look almost pinkish in photos, and that's definitely not accurate. Looking at my shelf, he's about the exact same as the red on Hasbro/TRU MP starscream from 3-4 years ago, which doesn't seem to give...

I just want darker reds, darker blues, and silver trim. It will come, I'm certain. I really like the original version, but the colors are a tad too pastel and don't pop enough to suit me. I get that they were going for animation accuracy, which they seem to have achieved pretty spectacularly...

Yeah, it's a nice look, but if I'm going to buy another, I'm waiting for toon colors.
