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...

Alright, we've finally made it: Avengers: Endgame I don't even remember what I thought this movie was going to be about. I'm sure rumors, leaks and spoilers had already warned me about the "time heist" element of it, but if anything, I don't think I was prepared for what a great finale that...

"Mark 75." Whatever. Artists will start a new series thinking they're going to permanently leave their mark on Ironman's legacy by giving him new, definitive armor, and chances are no one will remember it in three years. That's 75 armors in 65 years, and I think maybe six of them have...

Nothing in wave 1 interested me, but wave 2 has Ens. Nog*, T'Pol, and a TOS Romulan that I'm pretty keen on. I don't think I realized these were 7" figures before, though. I thought they'd said 1/12 scale. And that Spock looks great, and the Uhura they showed earlier. That entire wave is...

If i bought an entire wave of six figures when i really only wanted maybe three, just because I wanted 1/3 of the bonus pack, I should already be mad. Again, I wish all success on the BBWS team, but I'm hoping those full wave bonus items are a massive failure and they never do them again. The...

I remember Alan Moore openly questioning why 20th Century was willing to pay him for the rights to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, since all the characters are by definition public domain. He figured they just wanted to use his name in the marketing. But yeah, I guess there are more...

I think the only other interesting bit from the interview was some more details about the Raven Society. It's basically real historical figures vs. fictional characters, and each Society member is going to come with a bookshelf as a sort of Build-a-Library. Since Monster Force is already half...

Aw, Hell. If we finally get a Firebird and it's anything other than her big, cardboard chest bird version, I'm going to freak out.

I have had terrible luck trying this in the past. But maybe Gorgon and Triton are more desirable than the scarf-Rogue that came with Pyro or whoever the eff it was that came with Terrax.

I'm beyond ready for a Phantom Rider. Let's hope this opens the gate for the rest of the Rangers. I've also been interested in a Blackbolt and Medusa, but NOT a Gorgon or Triton. What to do?

I only mean in terms of removing detail from the designs. Like the MP-52 Starscream where they just kind of smoothed him out a bit, or when Super7 did "cartoon accurate" He-Man figures and just removed all the texture from the hair and fur. (And the Legends Spider-Man animated figures where...
