By "heading up" do you mean designing or modeling the figures themselves? I'm really ready to start collecting some 1/12 scale Legends-adjacent DC characters; is that the kind of stuff he do?

Yes! Like I said, I had to do the math to confirm the age of the actor was "accurate." To be honest, her most important contribution to this movie was showing us how much time Scott has missed out on while stuck in the quantum realm, so an older-looking Cassie was the direction they needed to...

I can definitely see this. It's not a motivator for me personally, but I certainly see it in the success of "toy version" paint schemes and the fact that anyone these days would buy a G1 Optimus Prime. Personally, my nostalgia is for characters, not toys (even when my appreciation for the...

I loved that show and have tons of nostalgia for it. I didn't know I was the only one until the toy line folded. Hence, the surprise.

I'd like to say this is the kind of line I want, but I think this is basically what Four Horsemen are doing and I haven't bought a single one of those yet. It's also how I want Nacelle to handle their Star Trek line. Give us all the known characters, but make the connectors universal enough...

That certainly seemed to be the original goal behind Soldiers of Fortune. Back in late 2023, FMF pitched some SoF designs on their Facebook Page, saying "[O]ur upcoming Soldiers of Fortune 1:12 scale line will be a line of figures aimed at the army builder and customizing communities. " I...

I probably over-trusted some platitudes in a Veebs interview. Pretty sure the designer talked about other, upcoming characters, though.

Given how NECA abruptly stopped making theirs, you're pertinent right. I don't know why, though. 80s cartoons, retro toys, AND D&D are all having a moment. These guys should be hot.

Other takeaways include a more or less official nail in the coffin of Dungeons & Dragons, and an insane argument that Universal Monsters would win in a fight with G.I.Joe. For D&D, I maintain that showing Wave 2 would have helped sales of Wave 1, but now I'm also pushing back on the idea that...

I don't know anything about him, but Nevada Rushmore is cool name.

Sure, but one of the reasons I'm so into this line is that it's made me feel creative again, willing to toss out canon like when I was a kid. It's just that I want a Monster Squad team and don't think a Van Helsing should team up with Dracula. I also found the actual figure for the Forgotten...

Excuse the low quality phone camera and lighting, but I just had to get a snap of these guys as soon as I could get them out of the packages and on a shelf. Van Helsing's team of monsters is wildly outnumbered by Dracula's army of zombies and Sleepwalkers, but not outmatched. As before...

Conversely, Pepper's one of my least favorite characters in the MCU (post-Ironman 1, at least), so it stands out to me when she's used really well. That whole scene was really good, and I think they ended her character strongly, not because she fought as Rescue, but because of the way she kept...

For what it's worth, the scene between them *is* really good, and Hemsworth acts the shit out of it. But yes, undermining the drama of a scene for the sake of a dumb joke has become Thor's thing.

This movie, of all movies, gets a pass from me in the category of "how well does it stand on its own." It's the second part of the finale of a 22 movie epic famous for how it overlaps. It shouldn't be anyone's first MCU movie. I actually noticed a lot of little moments that catch you up with...
