Not only am I hopeful for the TigerSharks, but I'm unrealistically hoping that once they get their shit together, they'll start moving forward again on the Dungeons & Dragons line. Weellll... unlike with 'Cats and 'Hawks, every one of the Tigersharks is iconic, so I'll need all seven. But at...

I took a huge plunge today and decided to finally start collecting Transformers with the introduction of the MPG line. I missed out on most of the main characters in the Masterpiece line, and by the time they got back around to them again, they'd transitioned to this low-detail "cartoon...

Sight unseen I'm interested in them. I'm willing to see what they have to offer, especially how they would handle the two different forms each character has. At the same time, it's a lot easier to pass on an overpriced line when I'm not already invested in it.

Why do you say that?

Good to know. I guess you just boil 'em and apply some brute force?

Anna I guess on that subject, Tomax's head doesn't fit easily on a MF neck ball. The ball is too big. I'm not quite ready to try to pull out G.I.Joe necks to see if the whole thing can be swapped out. I'm not sure if these old Classifieds were designed to do that.

Hrm. That gives me a unique idea that I doubt anybody has thought of yet. The O:MF heads are pretty universal, so I figured how one head fits on Cobra Commander is how the hood will fit. I only have the Wave 1 CC, but here the ball peg on the Commander is a little smaller than the MF one, so...

I think I played one single session of the West End Star Wars RPG when I was a kid. Had such a good time with it, though, that it's forever what I think is the default Star Wars system. Played a bit of the D20 version too during the Living Force days. It plays a well as any other D20 system...

Just me personally, but I've never had great success, or had much fun, trying to force a dramatic narrative in an RPG. I just believe that players need to know that their choices matter. I was always a "dice land where they will" type DM and made almost all rolls in the open. I swear by the...

Definitely include hand written notes claiming victory over someone who talked shit about your figures but bought them anyway. It's the first step to success. Edit: Wait, that's exactly the joke you were making. But I refuse to delete my comment and I accept my shame.

It most certainly is not. But you won me back with PrayStation. I even heard it in the robotic ad voice.

I don't know a lot about Conan other than "yeah, I should read more Conan," but whoever Belit is has me entranced. I've just kept the tab open on that pirate queen image. I don't *think* I'll get her, because $65 is a bit much for an impulse buy, but I can't rule it out either. That means I...

I can't see it as anything other than futuristic high-tech armor. Too many straight lines and panels. For fun, I busted out the crayons and did some coloring based on that first, color illustration. I still think there's room for a tactical, monster-hunting nun squad, but this misses the mark...

I don't know a thing about Hitman, but I assumed they weren't actually nuns. Just picked a matching theme for their squad? But if I'm to believe a character is an actual nun, even a fantastical ancient order of monster-fighting tactical nuns, I'd expect them to hew closer to expectations. I can...

Ooh. I stand corrected. I actually really like the headsculpt and wimple. It's a lot more nun-y than the just a white scarf she was wearing in the drawing. But I'm afraid everything from the clavicles down is a no from me. It's just too future-tech for my tastes, neither modern tactical...

Preach. I was looking forward to Agent Harker since she was part of a group illustration on the Eagle Force wiki, and it's been downhill ever since. She started as a hardboiled rockabilly punk with a katana, but the official figure drawing revealed a couple years back showed that edge kind...

Pro-tip: Bow's horse is way cheaper and way cooler.

First time hearing this idea and I really like it. Finally make them the First Family of a new MCU.

For perspective, I  started adult figure collecting with 2nd hand MotUC  after the line had ended. My sense of figure value has been skewed from the beginning.

There's a first. But yes, there's a lot to like about 4e and I think they'd really dialed it in by Essentials. I wish it had stuck around longer after that. I really liked having a distinct role to play in combat, and I think progression tracks for things like poisons and petrification was...

So, I'm a bit of an old grognard with probably inaccurately fond memories of 2nd ed D&D and the like. I liked the way the rules simulated reality a little better than modern games do. But when I revisit those rules, I honestly have to ask myself "how did a 14 year old ever figure this out?"...

I'm not normally a fan of narrative roleplaying, but some genres kind of call for it. Superhero RPGs, fer instance. I think I'd appreciate those narrative conventions in a Star Trek game too. I like how it tracks momentum, so small, even unrelated, victories pay off. And the rules for playing...

From day 1 this felt out of touch. Their spoken goal was for people to buy them to customize, but then they don't come with all the customizable bits that came with the other, equally-priced dudes. And that's where I think the real customizing is. The soldiers have different pouches and gadgets...

Makes sense. Didn't it happen off-screen too? I think I remember thinking that was kind of lazy. I guess I was too won over by the "oh shit" of regenerating cybermen. I've a soft spot for when old stuff is repurposed in unexpected ways.

@fac, yes to all of that. I only meant undoing stories only because you don't like them. The return of Galifray was a good story on its own, so Fletch-Approved. Your notes on the Timeless Master sounds like another good story. You may have to catch me up on the CyberLords, though. I found it a...
