    Amazing Heroes brings superheroes to the 1:18 realm.

    What pcs said. I don't think Remo had boobs. But "Just One of the Guys" had surprise boobs at the end. Not bad when you're 11.

    MTF Sunbow style Cover Girl by HUNMARINE

    When I read "Sunbow style", my mind immediately went to the blonde version. She was much hotter! ;)

    Amazing Heroes brings superheroes to the 1:18 realm.

    I remember seeing that for the first time in the 80's on VHS when I was 10 or 11. My sister and I were staying with my grandparents for a week while my parents went on vacation, and they wanted to entertain us by getting a stack of "cool" movies. I got Remo Williams because the poster/cover...

    Amazing Heroes brings superheroes to the 1:18 realm.

    "Sable" was a short-lived (7 episodes) tv series in the late 80's. It was "meh". The comic was actually good. Mike Grell wrote all 56 issues, and he penciled the first 43. He's as good a draftsman as Neal Adams without all of the crazy. I've met Mike in person at a con where I got him to...

    Amazing Heroes brings superheroes to the 1:18 realm.

    Wow, that's a really interesting group of obscure characters. I'm in for a Jon Sable. I love Mike Grell's artwork!

    Takara Transformers

    Agreed, I want to see what the other one can do. That stumpy torso is tough to ignore.

    Takara Transformers

    I recall most all vintage Joe stickers being clear vinyl, not paper. The HQ set are the only "paper" stickers I can think of. Downbeat's door stickers are printed on a white paper, while the leg stickers are thin chromed, the martini stickers are clear-backed vinyl. It's a mix. None of them...

    Takara Transformers

    Have you used reprolabels before? The downbeat set is a mix of opaque, clear-backed, metallic, etc. I'm not sure what you mean by paper-backed. All reprolabels are pretty damn thin... I almost always have to apply them with tweezers. Not sure if that helps.

    Joy Toy 1:18 Russian SSO Special Team Figures

    Agreed. If I wouldn't pay $30 for carded FSS figures, I'm not paying $28 for random, but albeit cool, nobodies.

    Jihadist Vehicles

    I'm still waiting on some enterprising company to make a 1:18 Hilux / Taco so we can make proper technicals. They don't use fords or rams or nissans. They use toyotas. I don't know why other than in the late 70's and 80's they had a reputation of being tough and cheap. I learned to drive...

    Joy Toy 1:18 Russian SSO Special Team Figures

    Forgive me if these have been posted elsewhere. I would love to add some of these to my 1:18 OPFOR. Unfortunately, I'm too cheap to drop $28 on rando 4" figures. But they're certainly cool, and they appeal to me more than ARW figures. Maybe they'll go on sale eventually (yeah, right...)...

    Takara Transformers

    I cannot overstate what a vast difference they make in this figure... unless you're really into that whole "plain toon" thing.

    Takara Transformers

    I don't like the way the chest tabs together on the bottom, but overall, he's a pretty good figure. I was a little "meh" when I first got him, but with time and a nice set of reprolabels to give him the toy vibe, especially the chrome stickers for the legs and proper martini livery, I've grown...

    They finally make an excellent Stormtrooper for the 3.75inch Vintage Line

    Wow, glad to see you back! How's it hangin'?

    I'd like to say I'm gonna quit, but they just keep putting out new vehicles and dio pieces that are too cool to pass up. It's not like Joe is giving us anything to be excited about, but this is clearly the next best thing.

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

    I tend to buy smaller sets with new/interesting parts for customs, and then I only pick up larger sets on clearance. I'm not paying MSRP for any Mega product over $20, as they ALWAYS go on sale for 40% off at some later date. However, the game is changing with TRU gone. The number of places...

    I found the four new CoD care package deluxe singles at WM today. Just got one of each, all very detailed, lots of paint apps not seen in the regular troop packs. But the best part is the new little muzzle flash effects that come with each. Very cool indeed. I'll be on the lookout for more...
