If Frankenstein is a Teslapunk monstrosity, I'll take back every negative thing I just said.

But...why? Donner is clearly a Frankenstein, just with his own unique story. I thought that was this line's thing: classics with a new angle. Sight unseen, I can't imagine having a Donner Party AND a Frankenstein on the shelf together. It'd be like adding Cyborg to the Doom Patrol when they...

I backed out of the Agent Carter chimp spy figure. I just wasn't feeling it after the rush of the initial reveal, and didn't like the look of the second, Buckaroo Bonzai one enough to get excited for the squad. I did however pre-order the 1/18 Star Commanders figure because it comes with a...

How did I go this long not knowing you had terrible taste? "Didn't want a brain in a suit" Are you one of those Soviet sleeper agents?

I must've made it up in my head, but I would've sworn the Donner Party was initially self-assembled out of shear willpower to protect their descendents. The official listing is the first place I saw that he was assembled by a mad scientist. I honestly prefer the conglomerate revenant story, so...

I woke up to find Anakin sold out on BBTS (and $160 on Amazon), so $28 on Pulse was...agreeable.

My decision to buy a sci-fi or fantasy novel is based solely on whether or not there's a sequel. Even better if it's a series. I'm looking to get invested! What's the game here? Are you apes or time traveling humans? Exploring a ruined Earth? Like, what do you *do*?

I recently saw a game review (for the new Starfinder, I think) which said that book's pages aren't as thin as the D&D book's. I imagine they're stand-out flimsy.

I'd like to hear more on this. I'm a Trek fan who was swayed by the volume of books produced by Modiphius and loaded up with a Humble Bundle a while back. But I'm having trouble clicking with the game itself. I feel like it's trying to stimulate being in a show rather than playing in the...

Speaking as a Ted Kord fan, I still consider his death a really good one. He went out a hero and drove others to action in ways he couldn't in life. As an added bonus, he gave us a really good time travel story in Booster Gold, so extra win. It helps that he was followed by a really good...

I did some Googling to see if this is the same White Rabbit I remember from the 90s Superman/Steel comics. It is not.

I think we're letting our "Yay, Spidey's in the MCU" cloud our judgements. He lied to a kid's guardian so he could take him out of the country to fight in a battle where the enemy was accidentally exploding fuel tankers on people. Then he tried to get him to drop out of high school to become...

I respect the attempt to make this week's episode in a documentary style. For the most part I enjoyed the format with the interviews and cinema verite. The console close-ups got pretty old, though. As for the story, it suffered a lot from me not being able to keep the names of the aliens...

I saw those pictures but was going to let them percolate for a bit because my initial thoughts were not kind. I'm imagining these aren't finished figures and they're just fit-testing the packaging, or maybe it's unflattering lighting, because these seem waaay off the production value of...

I have a concept of a plan for doing matching file cards for the Joes, Action Force, and Monster Force characters to place them all in my shared-universe head canon, but then I realize it'd be work and move along.

I have a sense that you've wanted us to know this about you for a long time.

There was a time when this  was the Joe line i wanted. Recognizable characters but in accurate modern military gear. Condor and Eclipse, as originally colored, were clearly Duke and Scarlett. I think there's an element of Vala trying to recapture the collecting experience from our childhoods...

How do you mean? Was this Ryan driving the line in a specific direction? I admit I don't know much about the people involved or their roles. And this is what reminds me why I collect ML. The possibilities of characters that I really enjoy. Yes, let me get a proper Super-Adaptoid or Annihilus or...

I still follow Vala on YouTube, mostly for the videos that pull back the curtain on the design and producing processes. I haven't seen everything he's posted, but I can say it seems like he's eased up on the competitor bashing. Now, it seems like most of the bashing duties have gone to his...

There is a universe where I might've bought a suited Mandarin so I could put the head and hands on a costume body of some sort, but woops! They put him in a 2-pack so it's not even a casual buy. This is one of those sets that I hope wildly under-performs and somebody learns a lesson from.

This 2-pack makes me question why I'm even collecting Marvel Legends. All this debate about which costume they'll put Mandarin in, and they go with "guy in suit."

This never stood out to me. As far as I can tell, the border tribe represents the military, and they seem pretty detached from inner-Wakanda. It's always felt to me like this was some long-standing issues bubbling to the surface. W'kabi was so eager to drain the swamp and have a new king...

I'm too jaded to think that's a sign the line's doing well.

Black Panther I little bit of Saga Fatigue as I close in on the end, but also there've been a lot of shows and movies released in the past month that I've wanted to watch more. it doesn't help that I'm kind of meh on this movie. I feel like I'm *supposed* to like it, but I can't summon the...
