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

    Mega has introduced a "Beyond" series.... which appears to be a non-licensed line of astronauts, underwater colonies, and futuristic city sets. Appears to be tons of civilians, and most look to be made using CoD/Destiny construction (yeah!). Seriously, I don't even know if we're getting new...

    If this theoretical 1/32 line had MB/1985-style articulation, I'd totally go for small-scale Joes. I'm a sucker for new scales, but if they try to go 5 PoA or something, that's a non-starter. I didn't collect MASK back in the day for that reason, and I'm not starting now. I've never ventured...

    It's revisionist history to imply that hasbro doesn't know how. PoC and beyond showed us they are fully capable of producing impressive 4" figures of the highest order. That being said, for some reason, they don't think there is a market for high-quality 1:18th military...... either WM doesn't...

    I assume you mean "dropped the ball on 1:32". Kre-O could have and should have been so much more. That paratrooper is sweet. I suspect I'll need a handful of those before it's all said and done.

    Marvel Legends 4 inch 2016

    Yeah, same here. TF's get far more leeway than any other franchise. But part of that is with MP TFs (or 3P equivalents) I feel like I'm buying the "be all, end all" version of these characters... completely ignoring the fact that half of them will get replaced by a newer, better, more ultimate...

    Marvel Legends 4 inch 2016

    No, the webs are made of various rubbery plastics. The web lines and shooting effects are rigid, whereas the lasso/noose is more of a flexible plastic. Very clever. The shoulders are what they are. I only notice them in resting poses where they really stand out, but when he's doing an action...

    Marvel Legends 4 inch 2016

    While not 4", this seems to be the Marvel catch-all thread, so I'm putting this here anyway. I finally got Revoltech Spidey, and just for fun, I took some pics and put a gallery on my site. He's a really fun, extremely poseable figure. Revoltech Spider-Man – TELETRAAN ONE

    Oh crap, that really is her face?! I thought that was a more cartoonish rendition just for the packaging. Ugh. And a 5-poa body. I'm better off trying to find more turtle van Aprils.

    Ha, I meant the turtles codes (since I haven't found the codes of the assortment one of my sad Kraangs came from). But yeah, those halo guys are thorough.

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

    That's pretty useless. My Series 3 figures have two different codes of A02086MM (not even on the list) and A04076MM, and they're both Kraang. And April is uber-shortpacked. That's just great. Hopefully the pack-in quantities improve with S4 because 1-in-24 April is bullshit. I had great...

    I bought two series 3 bags this morning, feeling the bags trying to eliminate the bulky figures that clearly weren't April. Of course, I ended up with a pair of the loser robot in a suit with a weird Krang shirt... WTF. Why don't they just sell them like the Halo figs (or like the turtle...

    I have no inherent love of Turtles, but that red ninja and the girl in the black tracksuit will be mine. Edit: the girl in the black appears to be on the cortana body, a 5 PoA disappointment. Still the noggin could be useful.

    I know there are some R/C pros around here, and I need some advice. I've got a son who is turning 10 next month, and he would like an R/C car for his birthday. I have no clue what to buy. What's the best bang-for-the-buck? Brand? Scale? Durability? Battery life? I don't want to break...

    Maybe so. They even changed the logo to "Mega Construx" on their collectors site, i.e. the "boy" lines... Halo, Destiny, CoD, Star Trek, Turtles, etc. Even though I have probably a dozen CoD sets yet to be built, I can't wait to see what new stuff they're going to roll out at T/F next month...

    As I understand it (from Amazon) all the new Mega Bloks are now branded "Mega Construx"... I assume that's something a rocket scientist at Mattel came up with. "Now that we've bought the second most popular brand of building blocks, let's rename it and throw away 40% of the brand equity we just...

    Mega Bloks Militia

    Prime early access deal, the MB green humvee set is $25 if you hurry... that's a steal if you don't have one (or you need another).
