Yeah, those Sega figures are weird. I’ve seen some in person and they’re not bad, but I don’t understand the scale choice. Then again, the Mario and Sonic stuff has always been in an odd scale too.

I think one Doop is X-Statix and one is X-Force. I don’t know enough about the character to know which is which. I will say, because of the very limited articulation and simple design, Toy Biz Doop holds up in a display probably better than any other Legends release from that era.

They’re crazy enough to do huge sets with MOTU so I think they’ll go there eventually with Xavier. The only difference is the chair isn’t optional for the character like Battle Cat is for He-Man or Swiftwind with She-Ra. I think they’ll definitely put him off as long as they can to see if the...

Sounds like the orange parts based on the latest Toy Anxiety podcast. Peter from Mondo was on and he, more or less, confirmed there’s a likelihood of more reissues in this style with other ghosts. Alex Brewer also noted on the Gotham City Tonight podcast/YouTube show that Ray has been adjusted...

Oh yeah, where do we go to collect the check?! In all seriousness, be safe out there fellas. And fuck the fascists in power!

Obligatory “be careful with debit cards” post. If a thief gets ahold of your credit card info, they gain access to Visa/Master Card/etc.’s money. If a thief gets access to your debit card, they get access to your money. Having multiple credit cards usually doesn’t negatively impact your credit...

Whether or not prices go down if the tariffs suddenly go away is only answerable by Hasbro’s bottom line. If profits are up, the price stays, if things nosedive, then they might come down. Right now, I’m only assuming the companies that lay out their tariff fee when you order from them are...

Hah! That’s the coolest thing about it! I’ve never owned one, but I probably would never have it in car mode if I did. I might have to get this reissue, is it exclusive to Amazon or do we know?

I have concerns about the stand as well and would really like to see it in practice, though I suppose it’s not the sort of thing that would stop me from getting Storm one way or the other. I do wish she had a tornado effect to clip onto it for added weight and stability like Nightcrawler seems...

I got Frosty in today. He's mostly as expected. He's very lightweight which gives him a bit of a cheap feel, but the presentation is nice and the joints are all smooth. They hit him with a slight pearlescent coat of paint to give him a little snow-like shimmer so he's not just bare, white...

I’m guessing she’ll have their new flight stand. How well it works has yet to be tested (I think Nightcrawler is the first to come with it).

I felt bad for my LCS. He ordered a bunch of the NECA Wardukes and I don’t know if he sold a single one. I wish I didn’t already have the figure when he got them in or I would have helped him out.

He was seemingly popular enough to get a second figure, which was vastly superior to that first one. Maybe Kane is about to experience a surge in popularity? There’s an easter egg referencing him in the new X-Men 97 trailer.

I know it’s only a few dollars, but there is a psychological component to 30 figures and 60 dollar two-packs. For whatever reason, a 26 dollar figure is more likely (for me) to get an impulse buy, but 30? Eh, probably not. In year’s past I would have caved on the Cap/Venom set and probably...

Poor X-Force. I will forever associate it with the discount store we had in town because it always had pegs of X-Force figures, but rarely the X-Men I was looking for. Grizzly was among them, but not as prolific as old Kane. That store is long gone now and I wouldn’t be surprised if whoever...
