Got Ryu and Ken from Storm Arena. I thought they’d be a little cheap given the price I’m used to imports being, but these feel very high quality. I like them a lot better than their Jada Toys or S.H.Figuarts counterparts. The articulation design and paint finish are great and the gis feel like...

Juggernaut’s huge! I wasn’t all sold on him until he was in-hand, but he’s way more figure than a lot of the $60-$65 fare lately. He moves better than the BAF but the hips are restrictive. Way too big for the comic shelf, but perfect for Marvel vs Capcom. Was kind of disappointed that the...

I’m not happy with the busted up Spidey’s neck peg but other than that all the joints on mine were fine after a boil and repositioning. I wish there was more of his face showing, like a busted lens or his mouth. I’m a sucker for the Battle-Damaged releases since the 90’s and it was good he got...

Does anybody’s Spidey’s neck peg actually tilt back and forth or side to side? Mine’s pretty tight in there so I boiled the thing and it improved to rotating, but doesn’t seem to otherwise go anywhere. Kind of a bummer since the other 3 were really solid figures.

Target has a 25% off one you coupon going on this week if you somehow missed the sales last week. Nice that it coincided with a bunch of new stuff landing in their stores or site for ML, Classified, and McF.

Found The New Adventures of Batman and Robin Animated wave with Riddler, Scarecrow, and Blue/Grey Batman was at Ross for $7.99

Could be just old stock that resurfaced at the last toy reset. At a lot of my stores these don’t have a dedicated shelf spot and just get mixed in with funko/NECA stuff. If it gets stuffed in backstock due to lack of space, anything without a shelf tag won’t be worked back out without a special...

I’m 90% sure every version of the Mandarin I actually wanted is more racist than this.

I don’t even know why they bothered with the non-ring hands. I guess I could pop the head and ring hands on a Mordo body or something. On the other hand, the trench coat and all the other new parts look great. I just don’t think the suited Mandarin from that one run is my preferred look. Iron...

Yea, this line really did get a lot done. I didn’t really buy much of this at first and a lot of it was on deep discount, but once the line started doing more classic characters in iconic looks I’ve been buying quite a bit. I feel like a suddenly good DC collection popped up almost entirely over...

Once they stopped using that insanely brittle clear plastic at every joint I hardly had any problems with DC Direct. They’d become fairly sturdy by the time most of the BTAS stuff was coming out, although I think since those looked really fragile I was way more cautious when initially opening or...

Yea, I’m the same way. Mcfarlane has a setup sort of like that for the wrists and ankles and it’s definitely one of the weaker points of that line to me. MAFEX’s looks way better but (functionality aside) they both feel pretty wonky to pose. Unless it’s built into the sculpt to avoid breaking...

I use Marvel Unlimited to read current books. It actually makes me sort of feel guilty since I haven’t bought a comic book from my LCS in a decade and that’s kind of their bread and butter. I do still rack up a lot of random toy and hardcover buys there though. I still like a book in hand and...

He has an entirely new head. Looks oddly similar to the screaming one from that Wolverine 2-pack but it’s got an inlaid teeth/tongue and a much narrower mouth. The new harness, shoulder-pads, and kneepads are a lot closer to Jim Lee’s design than the last 2 releases. The overall finish and color...

Well, YMMV, but in the last week Ross has been getting more stuff. Seems mostly random McFarlane stuff with a smattering of Hasbro. $5- McF Frank Miller Dark Knight mask $6-ML Namorita, McF Aquaman 2 Stealth Aquaman, McF King Kordax, SWBS Skeleton Crew (just the 2 girls and Jude Law), SWBS...
