    G.I. Kre-O, Kre-O, MegaBloks CoD and LEGO discussions

    While I appreciate/respect your enthusiasm for the property, I don't know many people all that passionate about wanting a full line of Aliens stuff. TMNT, MOTU, and Trek were all kid/family properties that most kids were exposed to back in the day, and in the case of TMNT and MOTU, have had...

    Saw that earlier this afternoon. Comes with red Beast Man, 'stash-less Duncan, Green Goddess AND the Sorceress (plus two more unannounced figures). That's some continuity jumbling for sure. I'm more of a GG comic guy than a Sorceress filmation guy, but that's just me. I'll have to stage some...

    Eh, I just shamed him for being an idiot unable to have an adult conversation and sent him to the ignore list. My patience for schooling morons is limited.

    McFarlane to make DC figures in 2020.

    Spin Master, the people that make Paw Patrol and Hatchimals, has the main DC figure license?! When was the last time they produced a real action figure?! Have they ever? And they're ok with McFarlane making figures sold in the same retail stores? This all feels really random.

    McFarlane to make DC figures in 2020.

    I wonder if this is in-addition-to or instead-of Mattel. I can't imagine Mattel letting that license get away, but based on how the DC Multiverse figures seem to be doing, DC can't be happy. They can't even get rid of them for $5 in the clearance isle. "Starting in 2020, McFarlane Toys will...

    Looking for the "Crazy Tomcat Guy"

    I bought two of the originals. One, along with the BBi F-16 & F-18 are hanging from the ceiling in my garage. The Helos are just taking up several shelves in the garage. But that last 'Cat, it's still in storage. I should dig it out and see how badly someone else wants it.

    Looking for the "Crazy Tomcat Guy"

    $750?! Man, I've got an untouched MIB 'Cat that I need to part with if that's the going rate.

    Right? I'm just waiting for HLJ to put up the pre-orders. Even if this matches nothing else scale-wise, it's cool enough to add to the collection anyway, even if it just becomes a desk toy. But I suspect they'll be making others, and the thought of that makes me giddy. I just hope they get...

    Agreed, that would have been my expectation as well. When I express an opinion over-there, I always feel like I'm swimming upstream. Maybe the Toonies are just more vocal? Someone needs to let HasTak know that the desire for toon accuracy is fake news.

    Issues with this figure aside, I don't understand HasTak's overall obsession with Bumblebee. He was irritating as f#$% in 1984, and time hasn't done him any favors. If he were a Star Wars character, he'd be JarJar. If he were a person, he'd be Corky from "Life Goes On". Yet the property...

    Looking for the "Crazy Tomcat Guy"

    oh shit, jettits... remember when he came over here and made a play to be a mod?! I'd search for it, but that's probably before the '11 crush and is now lost to the ether. Wolf, does he owe you money, did he try to steal your girlfriend, or are you trying to buy a cheap F-14?

    Oh, f#$% yeah! I don't know if this is in the current 5.5" scale or the 4" scale with all the old Revo TFs... probably the prior, but I'll hope for the latter. Either way, it's an insta-buy...

    Apparently MB CoD is now getting KO'd... poorly I might add. But the possibility of parts in new colors in intriguing. https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-call-military-duty.html?initiative_id=SB_20190210064621&site=glo&g=y&SearchText=call+military+duty&CatId=26&isrefine=y

    I swear, TT could learn a thing of two from the 3P legends toy makers, like NA and Magic Square. Those guys make some great toony little bots with fairly simple transformations. I know they wouldn't just directly translate to a much larger scale, but I'd be tempted to start there and only make...

    Agreed. They'd better have some codes or bumps or other identifiers, as I'm not standing in the toy isle fondling bags to find random figures.

    Agreed. "Greebly" is the first word that came to mind. And you're right about the arms. They're so short, it doesn't appear he could even hold his fluid drain nozzle... No wonder he throws himself into his scientific work. So frustrated.

    Holy crap, I posted in the XTB Locke thread (over there) that Koot was "absurdly short", and you'd have thought I punched the Queen in the face. Snaku is having a shit-fit, complete with insults and name-calling. :laugh: PCS, is that a new CHUG Skyfire? I don't even follow Hasbro releases...

    Eddie, it holds almost universally for me in the brief time I've thought about it. I'll pay more attention going forward. I too prefer Jetfire (although I bought Daca and FT Skyfire figures). One of my fav TF childhood memories... My mom's friend had an overstock-and-returns outlet place...

    First impressions of MS-01... -the color is more red than in pictures, which is a good thing. It's a lighter shade of red than MP-10, and the matte finish almost makes it look pastel in the online photos I've seen, so I was pleased that it really is red. That being said, I would have...
