    U.S. Politics

    Speaking from experience, groypers and other radical alt-right groups are perhaps the most powerful and wide-spread act of grooming of the 21st century.

    All the headsculpts of this subline have been really strange in general, and I'm not a fan. We can get animation accurate headsculpts for the sublines for X-Men '97, and Spider-Man The Animated Series... but not Marvel vs. Capcom 2? I really don't get it. This subline is primarily just...

    Most Wanted 1/12 scale figures

    I never really personally had the chance to get into Bubblegum Crisis, but I second this in general. I have Lum and that's cool, but there's a lot of other characters that deserve a chance. Kaori Makimura comes to mind immediately. We have Ryo Saeba, he's a bit lonely without her. And the Cat's...

    U.S. Politics

    For the most part, the engravings are just memes that have been in circulation between people in their 20s for a while now. I feel insane seeing most of this stuff being introduced to people completely detached from not just our generation, but the most terminally online of our generation...

    General Marvel Legends

    The only possible way I could see Cardiac getting messed up is if he were some strange modern design nobody cared about... but given their obsession with making as many 90s trading cards as possible into real figures, I just can't see that happening.

    Seems the bluesky link got obliterated by trying to embed? Both / were replaced with %2F.

    U.S. Politics

    There's a bizarre shift in the air of social media of 20-somethings following Kirk's death. Immediately prior, everyone was sitting on their thumbs praying for Trump's death, celebrating Hulk Hogan's death... while now? Around half are talking about how sick and cruel it can be to wish for and...

    Storm Collectibles

    Not like there even IS much. There's 18 playable characters in the entire franchise, and counting alt looks (namely Midnight Bliss, Morrigan/Lilith alt outfits, and Dee) and supporting characters (Anita, Le Malta, Mei-Ling, etc) that makes like 25 characters. 30 tops, if you really stretch and...

    Storm Collectibles

    We have, what, four Storm Arena prototypes without preorders so far? And two of them are Darkstalkers. It's a coinflip as to what gets a preorder announcement next. As always, I'm mostly just excited for Lilith... at this pace, I'd wager both go up for preorder in October, with better showfloor...

    Stick, PROPER Typhoid Mary, maybe this Elektra. Need em all.

    There are so many levels of irony to this man's death, tied with his beliefs, what he was talking about in the moment, etc. It's a bit surreal. I am hoping the shooter is an old white cishet man or something. But we'll have to wait and see.

    General Marvel Legends

    I like the 90s cosmic stuff a lot, so getting THAT Deathbird present makes me happy. I feel like there's definitely room for classic Deathbird, though. Maybe just put her in a two or three-pack themed around classic Carol Danvers or Captain Marvel villains. Classic Moonstone (note: we still...

    General Marvel Legends

    It's really strange what they decide to make accurate to reference and not, and what references they even pick... The white stripe IS accurate to the game's art, it doesn't have the small straps in the art, but it's accurate enough. But they also released MVC "art" War Machine in that two pack...

    Marvel Legends Gamerverse

    That's genius actually, I was wondering if anyone had a recipe. I suppose I could probably use a bit of a model kit sprue with a paper clip, wrap a thin strip of paint and tape that up... hmmmm... I have plenty of sprues lying around.

    The Punisher beat-em-up is also Capcom, so it's building up the same section of Marvel toys that the MVC2 releases are.

    Marvel Legends Gamerverse

    Personally, I adore the looks from the Punisher beat-em-up, especially sweater Nick Fury. This may be the first Marvel Legends release I get this year. My only complaint is Fury having what is clearly a cigar-chomping head, without a cigar in it.

    Mini Comic Wave 2

    I think all of these are great, with exception of... well. Silver Surfer on that same god awful body. I just don't get it, the limbs are fine, it's just the torso that's bad... Why not just use one of the many modern Spidey molds????? Fuck, man.

    Mini Comic Wave 2

    I'm FINE with the ideas of BAFs, but hate the implementation half the time. BAFs always fall into two camps... "Why isn't this just a deluxe release?" and "They could never sell this without it being a BAF." Someone like Thanos getting a BAF is a joke, and aftermarket hell. But something like...

    Fwoosh Toys/Articulated Icons

    I'm trying to avoid being overly optimistic with these low communication product announcements, especially after that Elric game said nothing for a year just go to "Yeah we're having licensing issues right now." Definitely don't wanna live that disappointment too often when I can avoid it. A...

    Fwoosh Toys/Articulated Icons

    Given the horrible handling of the forums and a lot of the talking I saw around the skeletons and later ninjas, I'm not surprised. I really hope these Ninja Scroll figures come to fruition, but once they're released I think I'm done with The Fwoosh for good.

    Mini Comic Wave 2

    My personal issue here is we're in a market where some figures include entire ass comics with them, but these have a comic accessory for your figure. Personally, if it were up to me? I'd include a mini poster or something of the art as well, at least that would have SOME tangible value as a...

    Last Series Watched

    Watched through the first season of Dexter. I really liked the characters, and the mystery was compelling, but the moment the killer was introduced it was so obvious that HE was the killer, and prior to that I fairly easily guessed what his true identity would be revealed as. Great time, but...
