I never really aged out action figures either. Right around the time that might've started, McFarlane happened and ensured I'd keep going. I did back way off when I moved out in college because I didn't drag everything along with me to the apartment and I had my stint doing the kinds of things...

And honestly, my most favorite LOOKS for the characters tend to be new takes on them: the JoyToy line, the Fury/Rage Toys line, the LingJihun line, Mondo's upcoming 1/6 scale figures, etc. I don't really have a strongly preferred/definitive look for this franchise, either despite or because of...

I was into the show, the Archie comics, the movies, and the toys as a kid. It's still very possible that 2012 is my overall favorite TMNT show, however. I like the style, the characterization, and the way it combines all the different eras and characters. It didn't flame out as badly as the...

Both vacation packs of the Turtles are in stock at Target again now. They've been going in and out the last few days, for those who want them.

For sure. So far, both of the places I usually get imported things from (5K and LT Crate) have covered whatever fees might be involved and not charged me anything, but we'll see if that can hold if things just keep escalating and escalating.

See, and I specifically do not like the Mezco stuff. I don't think I've ever been impressed by a One:12 Collective figure (except the ones that don't actually have soft goods, like Iron Man), all I see are ugly seams and wrinkles everywhere. But people seem to love them. I'll never get it...

My distaste for soft goods at this scale cannot be overcome. :)

I agree. No part of my collection is based on replicating vintage-style figures I owned as a kid. I like updated versions of them, not reproductions. And as I say all the time, I don't even like the 1:12 Collective version of clothed figure, let alone throwback versions like these. Don't own...

Snake is another one that needs a Toony Terror figure!

From your post to the firmament of spacetime...

I paid the down payment at 5K, so I'll have to pay the rest whenever they show up... Actually, they already offered all four brothers, so I've made first payments on all of them.

I both do and dont want these to be out here soon. They look great, but also there's just so much to be paid for right now...

Hell, didn't those Predator Badlands figures they showed have a release date of Q4 ... NEXT year? Why put out a Grabber in time for the movie when you can put it out a solid year later? But even speaking of Toony Terrors: would've loved to see some new ones with some new licenses from...

Man, I hope NECA's got some surprises coming this month in their daily horror reveals/offerings, because there was nothing like that at NYCC. I want something to get excited about again in the horror lines.

According to the product page, the Slimer is attached to one of the alternate hands: https://mondoshop.com/collections/1-12-scale/products/the-real-ghostbusters-samhain-1-12-scale-figure-halloween-timed-edition

All my LT Cave orders have been delivered by USPS, and none of have asked for duties!

One of those seems like quite a risky undertaking.

I feel like we're talking past each other a bit here, but it's a silly thing to get too worked up about so I'm not gonna try and explain myself any futher. Absolutely nothing to do with you personally!

The Dragon Man thing sucks in that they weren't replacing figures for the original buyers, for sure. But it doesn't fundamentally bother me that he's still being offered after the fact.

Okay, but why were you miffed? Did it bother you that someone else could get Splinter now too? Because that's absolutely nothing to do with why I'm bothered here. I want everyone who missed out on Samhain who actually wanted him to be able to get him. It's great they're getting another...

Well then they can re-release the two new ghosts from this Halloween set on their own too!

It's similar to that, I guess, but it's also different in that anyone could've just skipped the exclusive offering entirely and then eventually gotten everything anyways. It kinda feels like those of us who supported the full line in good faith are being punished a little. Re-offered with new...

Also acceptable. But it's really sticking in my craw that they're doing this. Some of us paid double and got Samhain the first time, meanwhile the folks that skipped him not only get another chance, got the mini ghost from the single pack, and now ALSO get two more ghosts? Real bad deal, to...

I genuinely think they should literally offer the new ghosts separately ONLY to the folks who already have Samhain. At these prices and with this kind of move, it's just too shitty not to try and do right by them.

This sucks. Don't need two Samhains, these new ghosts should be offered separately to folks who already bought Samhain.
