Agreed. I assume it's terrible, but I still want to see it. They claim it's borderline horror, but if you've ever read the Bill Sienkiewicz New Mutant issues from back in the day, the art was very strange and off-putting at the at the time but very horror-ish and oddly beautiful, looking back...

Are there any good films that won't get pushed to 2021? It makes me think they actually believe in it. Otherwise, you shove it straight to streaming, and when it doesn't make money, you just throw up your hands and scream, "It was COVID, couldn't be helped. Whatchagonnado?" The virus is a...

Dropshipbob you gonna grab a few of these? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mega-Construx-Aliens-Alien-Queen/978921560

The packaging is 90% of why I would buy these. I have all of these figures many times over already. But these feel more retro, and it's because they're using the original card art (not modern redo art), and they're using the big white letters with no border. The 25th cards used a noticably...

Man, it didn't take long for those to vanish. I missed out on all the figures... stupid job. Fortunately, I've seen all the retro Transformers figures in my local WMs, so hopefully they'll be plentiful in-store just like those.

I have exactly one of my rides in 1:18, but mostly no. Nobody makes a Taco of any generation in that scale. I learned to drive on an '80, drove a '91 in high school, and I drive an '08 when the kids aren't in school. Plus they'd make awesome technicals for all my sandbox OpFor's. -'91 Taco...

Hot wheels are a little different though. I'm not going to be making wild customs, just drilling out two rivets to take them apart, swapping axles/wheels, stripping/repainting. Pretty basic stuff with relatively cheap raw materials. If I screw up, I've wasted $5, tops. That's very different...

Working on the Hot Wheels movie with the boy this summer has somewhat reignited my love of diecast cars. I've got dozens of 1:18 cars, consisting primarily of 1:18th versions of all the real cars I have owned over the years, 1:18 diecast equivalents of the '84 Autobots, some iconic TV/Movie...

While I struggled to justify the cost, I broke down and backed this project. It's immensely cool. A 26" Sentinel. It's bigger than Titan-Class Metroplex. Holy crap. My 10-yo self's head just exploded. Plus it comes with two exclusive 6" figures, a MasterMold alternate head, battle-damaged...

Oh, I have no doubt. I may have told this story on here before, but I have first-hand knowledge of the chinese and their half-ass attempts to copy my work when I was in telecom. I firmly believe that the CCP and their totalitarian society greatly disincentivizes creativity, free thought, and...

I want some OpFor troops, but I don't want modern, geared-up chiner and russian guys. I need some 'Nam, cold-war era stuff. Russians with fuzzy hats, Charlie's, and a few towel heads. Back when bad guys were easy to identify... Although it does make me laugh to consider Chinese troops...

I'd say these are pretty close to the icons, certainly in between SWB and Legends. I can take some pics when I get home if you like.

I will say, I think hasbro did a good job with size/scale. The Joes are larger than 6" SW Black series figures, who are barely big enough to call 1:12 scale. Yet they are a tad smaller than Marvel Legends because they're civilians that are not over-buff superheroes. The necks feel a tad...

Deluxe SE came from the pulse, but the other three came from amazon. I have a full set of five coming from the pulse eventually, but I bought the amazon spares of Duke, Scarlett, and RB for painting.

Yep. Deluxe SE, Duke, Scarlett, and Roadblock. Destro and regular SE will arrive eventually. I'm not crazy about some of the modernizations, especially the gold bits, but as long as I've been clamoring for 6" Joes, I shan't complain.

Not to defend hasbro, because they clearly make almost as many bonehead decisions as WTF Mattel. That being said, is the line perfect for nostalgic 40-something man children? No, no it is not. Clearly there is an attempt to appeal to the younger generation too. Is it a better base from which...

12" Spike Witwicky figure?!?! I'd totally buy one if it was a 6" figure... https://showzstore.com/lewin-resources-lwh-01-spike-witwicky_p2255.html

Pretty sweet looking. Very nice.

Eh, just print out whatever name/logo you want and sticky-tack it on there. I have probably eight of the 1:12 sets, and they are friggin massive. I don't even have a place to set a single one of them up to do any photographing. I'd need to clear the entire dining room (i.e. the project room)...

I don't care about either figure from the 2-pack, but I would like some of those loose skulls...
