    McFarlane DCM Terminal List: What do we need to close this out? NOT A WISH LIST.

    Edited to show my needs. Could also add Blake or Bob the Goon in there if they wanted to make Bane or Joker a BAF and need another figure to pad it out. I think the 3rd act Ice Bat Trio from B&R is an easy redo, but I don't necessarily see it in a regular wave. It's an easy 3 pack if Todd wanted...

    X-Men '97

    Regardless of how you feel about him, I think it's pretty easy to see that he's where the budget for the wave went. Not that any of the figures are bad, per se, but I have a feeling that he may be why Jubilee and Sunspot especially feel a little plain. I'm not educated enough to know if he's...

    Still haven't gotten around to seeing Midsommar, but I've heard it's divisive. Some friends of mine have their whole bathroom decorated as a little Midsommar display, so I'm expecting it to be at least decent. I loved Hereditary, and I've heard it's similar-ish in tone to that, but I've also...

    Mattel DC Figures

    I'm all for a toy line being run by a true toy fan, but it does of course come with its own pros and cons. On one hand he knows what we want, but on the other hand, he knows what fans are sometimes willing to do (and, to be fair, what we're not willing to do) to get our hands on certain things...

    X-Men '97

    I totally get why some folks wouldn't like him, but I think his range is honestly pretty good. Yeah, he can't put his hands straight up above his head, but he can T-pose just fine, put his arms out, etc. It's really only if you want to keep the arms close to the body in any way, but the majority...

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    Imma have to hire you to be my mom's bodyguard, Damien. She's gotten shit for the past 20 years for finally being able to dress how she wants, which is the old 70's punk aesthetic mixed with kinda early 00's Hot Topic. Being in Kansas, most folks look at her like she's the devil (not that she...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    That would be my thoughts as well, but I don't see it happening. I'm not a fan of the Gold Label, Platinum, and Red Platinum chases, nor could I really tell you the difference between any of them. Sometimes one is more rare, sometimes it's the other, but none of them need to exist. And never tie...

    X-Men '97

    I've always felt that too, for whatever reason. It's probably that same part of my brain that acts all stressed and dramatic when I spend, say, $50 on food or clothes, but has no issue spending $50 on new figures. Just yesterday, in fact, I passed on a figure I really wanted that I could've...

    I was behind a woman in line the other day who still had those damn Minion memes coming across her feed. That's how I know we don't all have the same feed- I'd never be friends with anyone who shared Minion memes. But then we have instances like my boyfriend and I; we have very similar...

    U.S. Politics

    One of my friends once referred to that time in the middle of winter when you're freezing cold and your nuts kinda huddle up inside you as "reverse teabagging". I don't know why, but it feels apt, not only for this discussion, but the country at large right now.

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    I certainly had my years where I was quick to anger and stupid decisions as I processed all the crap that happened in my childhood. And then I fell hard the other way and became almost too passive. Now I've course-corrected once again and landed somewhere in the middle, where I'll certainly...

    Love me some Sleepy Hollow. Think it's Burton at his best, where he can just take a spooky franchise and put his own little spin on it. It's got atmosphere out the wazoo, and the cast is just star after star- all the aforementioned ones, but don't forget Christopher Walken and Miranda...

    Articulated Thoughts General Movie News & Discussion

    Never got around to seeing Longlegs after the hype died down, but Osgood Perkins is a name I keep hearing. May have to check it out. Nice that it got Del Toro's approval, though. Love me some GDT. Speaking of, I'm stoked to be seeing Del Toro's Frankenstein this weekend. It's got a short run in...

    Star Wars Black Series

    May grab her on sale, but I agree with all the previous points. Then again, with everything that she comes with, I'm half surprised they didn't make her a deluxe! 😅

    Star Wars Black Series

    I believe the only place I've seen her so far is GameStop. Can't recall if she's exclusive to there, but I wanna say so, just like I've only seen the Mummy trooper at WalMart and Ghost Guard at Target.
