    MAFEX Marvel Figures

    Sure feels like it. Why is it so difficult for this company to make toys? It’s not like Medicom is a mom and pop operation.

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    It would be so hard for me not to be a smart ass in that situation. “I don’t particularly care for children, but if you have a dog that needs a chew toy or a cat that needs a scratching post, I’d be happy to pull one from the stockroom for you.”

    Well, the figures may be room temperature, but the character selection has been fire. I picked up the Platinum Elongated Man yesterday. “I need fifty dollars to make you holler” - Tone Loc and BBTS

    General Marvel Legends

    How exciting. Another updated figure. There’s something you don’t see from Marvel Legends very often.

    Neither am I. I grew up in simpler times when the bad guys just wanted to rob banks or rule the world.

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    Received the Page Punchers Jay Garrick from GameStop today. That was a pretty impressive turnaround. I completely missed out on Jessica Cruz. I wasn’t expecting any more preorder announcements after the last couple of weeks, so I wasn’t paying attention. Is she a GameStop exclusive?

    What is your most recent deal, or "steal" on toys?

    For me to get a deal, much less a steel, it would have to be something that 1) I really want, 2) I don’t already have after 25 years of collecting, and 3) I got for less than fair market value That’s like having three bars come up on a slot machine in 2026.

    What do you do with your Accessories?

    As an example, I have an under the bed storage bin dedicated to Marvel Legends X-Men and related characters. In that bin, I have several zip lock bags of the accessories belonging to those figures grouped by team/era. To be honest, it’s a difficult system to maintain. I’m sure all of my...

    I got one as well thanks to Kwadzilla’s link on page 220. That just leaves the Knightfall Jessica Cruz Catwoman to track down. 😉

    Thank you!!! I was looking up “Jay Garrick”, “Page Punchers”…everything but what was actually in the description.

    Wasn’t Jay Garrick supposed to go up for preorder on GameStop today?

    Sigh. There’s that GD Knightfall Catwoman buck again, but she does look good. No one can put lipstick on a pig quite like McFarlane.

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    You’re still five years younger than I am if I’m doing the math right! 😛 Hell, yeah! I’ll never forget my mom and grandmother ragging on what a bimbo Debbie Harry was when they performed on the Merv Griffin show in ‘79. They asked me if I thought she was attractive. Of course I pretended...

    It was Jaclyn Smith for me. I’m old school.

    It’s a cool thing to have! Whenever anyone asks what my hobbies are, I just say “Ever watch Big Bang Theory? I’d get along well with Sheldon and Leonard.”

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    Now you’ve got me wondering when the last time I saw a spinner rack “live” was. I had quit reading/collecting in 1983, so I wasn’t paying much attention after that, but I do remember buying a few comics at a pharmacy in 1997 when I got back into it again. I just can’t remember if it was off a...

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    Unfortunately, I’m old enough to have walked into convenience stores, grocery stores, and pharmacies as a kid in the mid 70s and my parents purchased comics off those racks for me. (On maybe I should say “fortunately” given the direction the world seems to be headed in.) If I had 7 to 12 year...

    Toy purchase disappointments

    This is fascinating. I’m not sure I ever truly understood the relationship between Good Smile, figma, and Max Factory. I thought figma and Max Factory were synonymous in the way DC Universe Classics figures were always sculpted by Four Horsemen Studios. Were all figmas sculpted by Max...

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    There’s something about the word “Comics” appearing directly under the word “Wholesome” that I find sadly ironic in the 21st century.

    You Ever Get Tired of This?

    I miss those reviews. Video reviews are great, but there’s something to be said for print reviews with still photos. It’s good to see you here, Poe. Your former SHF Han Solo says “Hi”! 😉

    Wow, I didn’t know there was an eBay QR code that you can scan at the kiosk. That’s a really nice feature. Honestly, I think the only time we ever use our printer anymore is to print shipping labels.

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    Invest in a small postage scale if you don’t have one already, and take advantage of eBay’s built in USPS capability. Being able to just drop off packages at the post office rather than standing in line or even using the postage machine will save you so much time and aggravation. Once you...

    “Build a Zatanna”? I’m guessing that’s a BTAS Zatanna that’s part of a BTAS build a figure wave?
