Honestly, while it doesn't make it better for the figures themselves, knowing it's a common issue means I shouldn't bother trying to return and get a better copy cos that game is exhausting. I've actually got some miniatures paint that'll fix Matty's mask easily enough and I mean, gorilla glue...

That doll is such a specific person's thing. I had no idea it was an actual Mattel offering, I saw it on socials and assumed it was a custom.

I've been a paid DM. It's... fine. It's okay. Honestly the best paid DM experience I've had was doing, I shit you not, D&D as corporate team building exercise, but that was because I was literally just there to help them learn a game that might make them mildly less shitty people OR out...

Not only do I remember that ad, I remember having several friends upon whom it had the opposite of its intended effect and sent them into a spiral of monsterfuckerry. (No, "friends" is not code for me, bugs is a full-stop no, but I know too many people who would absolutely fuck a xenomorph if...

Got the new Daredevil and Punisher today. Was really looking forward to them but got some really odd QC issues. Frank does look really sad, but my main complaint is the glue on his forearm (below the sleeve) gave out and almost pulled his right hand off at the sleeve. A tiny drop of gorilla glue...

Y'know, I'm an doofus cos I have taken photos of all the box art since the beginning but I have never organized the images. I should create a gallery. Just snaps of front, back, and side art before I destroy the box.

I used to be the newspaper editor in a wealthy white seaside town in Massachusetts. Those boat shoes liberals will drop an N word pretty fucking quick if they think you're one of them. (I'm a poor white trash Massachusetts townie so I hate the boat people as much as I hate the other racists.)...

Thresher for me is the one with the scar on his face because I always think of the way thresher sharks whip their tails around with enough strength to break skin. Deep Blue is the one with the ridiculously striking blue eyes. His teammates named him.

Hehehe, literally ten seconds after I sent that last post I got charged for the sand trooper and Lt. Galle. (And the Stranger!) Just the new Vader and Asajj on preorder for now, then.

You actually just reminded me I still have that trooper on preorder from Pulse and it hasn't shipped yet. It's weirdly peaceful to know I only have a grand total of five Star Wars figures preordered right now and three of them are for spring of 2026. A few years back I would be worried the line...

Also, unrelated — a friend is DMing for the first time and got her first silly “the DM is traumatizing me” meme and was actually hurt by it (“how did I traumatize her?”). I had to explain the whole trend of players wanting to be traumatized by their DM and then teasing them about it thing the...

I've gotten better since Ru started making fun of me for losing track of my own preorders last year, but I got a shipment from Target today and was all excited thinking it was the new Daredevil having forgotten I also got the diver set with that discount sale Target had last week so I could use...

Player in my Weds. night weekly game -- this is his second campaign ever, still has that new player enthusiasm -- asked if I'd run a Halloween bottle episode where the players are playing alternate timeline versions of themselves (this campaign is dealing with branching timelines and time...

I am literally the last person who will give you a hard time about typos. I can't see anymore, my typos are humiliating.

I was saying earlier today Republicans have always been like this, but 20, 30 years ago the party would've disavowed them, got all those losers jobs at Bain or McKinsey so they can be rich and fuck people over professionally, and just swept them out of politics publicly. But today we have the VP...

Yaddle, redeemed Barriss, Niro, there's quite a few characters from Tales I'd love to see. I really love when they tell small stories in this setting. I'd love to be enthralled with Black Series again but I'm enjoying a breather - they're still putting out great figures but the feel like...

I hate how easy a mark I am for a decent Spidey repaint. Walmart chose my one preorder to ship this quarter as Hellfire Spidey and honestly... he's a neat little guy. I think it's just that most Spideys are no-frills and highly posable--hard to dislike really straightforward hand candy.

Star Wars is still the franchise nearest and dearest to my heart but I haven't been super amped about the Black Series releases lately, but a Jedi Dooku would be such a great get if they make him. Really anything from Tales will get me. I loved those little series.

That photo should be labeled with the boilerplate Walmart preorder cancelation notice. I feel like that's all of our preorders on one endcap.

Holy crap, THIS. Even the cat tails that have a bit more plastic to latch onto the body are ridiculously unreliable. This overlay they use with the Devil that is similar to Monkey King and the snake warrior in Legions never wants to stay in place. But agree with everyone else who has said the...

I thought about skipping outback Storm but man, I like her better than any of the Jim Lee era Storm figures we've gotten. Punk Storm is always and forever my favorite (to the point I'd buy a remake of her now with modern articulation) but Outback is easily my new second-favorite. Meanwhile...

I got a shipping notification from Walmart tonight and had no idea what it was, went in to check my orders, realized I double-bought New Eternia Hordak from Walmart but BBTS shipped him to me a month ago, canceled my Walmart order, and was like "wow, I cancel a LOT of Walmart orders, look at all...

Yes to Navel Officer, yes to Raven. As always, anything that diversifies the line from being 95% dudes helps sell me on new characters. (And of course I hope we get Slipstream and a standard Strato-Viper too.)

I have a cordless vacuum for my laptop but I'm absolutely buying a cordless duster instead. That makes so much more sense for everything else. The phrase "purge regularly" apparently sends me into an existential crisis.

I love, love grab-bag waves but if they're keeping BAF as a concept, at the current price point, keep it VERY thematic. I'll happily buy a whole wave of randos if I like them but there really should be consideration for theme going forward for BAFs. FWIW, back in the older days, I found I...
