I'm just spitballing, but I can see that tiers as an expense limiter. Like, just to make up some numbers, if making a tool for Lady Jaye costs $6,000, you're going to want to hold off on having to make it until you have enough committed buyers to make it worthwhile. So I don't assume the costs...

I've been assuming the alternate head with Dr. Rand was intended to be Dr. Venom, but I'm not the authority on the character. Does this match y'all's mental image of him?

That's exactly the issue for me, I just didn't want to assume I spoke for everyone. I mean, I'm not even interested in Snowjob, Torpedo or Alpine because they're too enviro-specific.

I don't think I've mentioned an interesting reaction at the Joe Classified panel at SDCC. The first thing they did was show the SnowCAT promo video, and there were large portions of the crowd laughing at the jokes, oohing and awwing, and just generally reacting like they'd never seen it before...

They did say he was a Walmart exclusive. And Steeler/Short Fuze are Target. That's what started the whole 3POS booing campaign.

Just made it through episode 3 and...oof. The military man in me loved all the business with Ortegas and Numbuh One. I'm glad she didn't get away with that shit. Two weeks of Extra Military Training and don't do it again! The rest? Not so much. For all the reasons Schizm said. This is, like...

I keep going back to that Steeler/Short-Fuze 2-pack. Some in-hand photos from the Hasbro booth confirmed for me that Steeler has the retro Firefly upper body at least, which is the best choice, even if it's not as turtle-necky as I'd like. Still, seeing his details locks in my desire to get him...

A 30" Mano Tiki Tia or why even bother?

So he was just being nice? Weird.

This movie found success in the same place Thunderbolts did, with an enemy they can't just punch away.* I believed every second of Reed's conflict over considering the ultimate solution as well as every second of Sue's conflict that she knew he had considered it. *

I don't have a CLAW, but would two flight stands, one on each wing, work?

I forgot the German Italian Russian orangutan!!

Saw Fantastic Four today. Like with Superman, I thought it would benefit more if I saw it without spoilers, and in this case it absolutely did. The cast was kind of bland, though. Like, they acted really well, but they were all kind of the same character. They seemed so unified in purpose...

See? That's what I imagined. A zombie jester, a black-feathered bird-man, a red-garbed plague doctor, a mime covered in giant worms (okay, maybe not that one). FMF/BBWS really set themselves up for this. They show off a bunch of werewolf Nazis and gangster robots, and then tease a toy line...

Be some very surprised Marlon Brando fans in that audience. Not disappointed, just surprised.

I feel the most upset would be Nacelle when nobody buys them. ZING!

And it's called "Wild Ride"

I just discovered that the magic wand and shackles displayed next to Edgar Allen Poe are not for him, but rather a tease for the next member of the Raven Society. I would've guessed Harry Houdini, but they weren't contemporaries. Unless Poe's final days involved time travel and we really are...

My Gen Z son is really interested in the Agent Anti-Venom, but knows how scorched Earth Magic collectors are. He believes there will be real competition for these. I countered that it might be an opportunity for profit, but we'll see.

She was very clear that there was no policy against it, which was really good to hear. She specifically said there was nothing inherently problematic about a guy in a hood, and many of their licensees use that look in their products. I was hoping to get a gage on any enthusiasm from Lenny and...

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, another highlight from the panel was their position on "reissue" of HasLab items. From memory: 1. Never in the same color as the HasLab 2. The HasLab version is the premium version. 3. Always cheaper than the HasLab it came from 4. Never again as a HasLab. I...

Is that a thing? That's pretty cool. I'd assume start-up figure makers would be in direct competition. There's only so much collector money to go around. A Plunderling sale is money not being used for an Animal Warrior, so to speak. I'm sort of happy I'm wrong about that.

I'll give a pass to Captain America fight scenes which benefit a lot from Chris Evans' acting skills. I mean, you know he's going to win, but he's so good at making it look like *he* doesn't know if he's going to win. He looks like he really has to work for it. Except when he doesn't, when he...
