Well, believe it or not Olive wasn't the problem child, it was Bluto of all people, er, I mean figures. His foot was frozen and snapped when I tried to work it loose. I still can't move what's left of the peg in his leg (no pun intended, though, fitting for multiple reasons). Wouldn't have...

I thought about doing this for the more singular films as well, but haven't gotten around to doing so.

That was my original intention, framing the Friday the 13th figures and so on since they started doing this. I got pretty sore when they started putting "action figure" and such over the original artwork. LOL! Doesn't bother me so much anymore.

Shoutout to NECA for their parcel packaging. Got 2 figures in a box and they had these simple corrugated cardboard inserts that held both items steadfast. Both boxes are mint... Now, on to rippin' them bitches open 📦🪓 Incidentally, I know a lot of people keep their open boxes, but does...

Has anyone found Scavenger in-store? I keep seeing seeing Mixmaster at damn near every store I visit.

Your story echoes a lot of us who have never seen anything worthwhile at our stores. I do have a new store just that opened within a decent driving distance in a, um, not so pleasant area. I'm hoping I'll have better luck there as most collector geeks can be skittish. :)

Well, damn! My Popeye set was in CT yesterday and is already sitting on my porch (MI). Did not expect to get those so soon. Excited for a new toy line--gonna be a long day at work 🍲

Are all/any of the Popeye heads interchangeable? Or is this a GI Joe debacle? LOL

I love Sleepy Hollow! Used to be a massive Burton enthusiast, but don't think I've seen anything since Big Fish (which I liked a lot) as the subject matter for his films hasn't interested me since then. I should look at his latter filmography again to see if there is anything I'll give a go...

Watched the Wild Woman trilogy. I've had the set in my cart for years and finally pulled the trigger on the final "Universal Classic Monster" barring The Creature (the 2nd one, from a lagoon) in the 50s. The 1st 2 staring Aquanetta, a stunning beauty and the only African American UCM. Believe...

That's like the wild West to me. JK.

That happened with my Pinhead. I just bought a new one at Target, carefully checked the feet and rest of figure and returned the broken one in the new packaging back to Tar-jay.

As far as I know none of the SE Michigan stores have closed--at least none of the dozen or so I drive past regularly.

Y'all's stores must have shipped them to all the Targets in my area. Every one has a peg full of Greys.

And sold.
