Yeah, it goes against all the conflicting lore about armored CC (I never read the DiC comics so the serpentor as iguana thing flew over my head, but I definitely had this guy as my go-to CC as a kid for a long time. He really should have also come with a Fred Head though, but the Freds never...

Emma got here from Pulse just now. Face sculpt is gorgeous and I really like the overall build but is it stupid I think I want to just display her without the cloak? I feel like we've never had a properly posable Emma and she looks fine without the cloak, if, well, cold, she looks cold. But...

Big Lob looks great, though the whole supporting cast from the movie were never really my favoites. (Making Chuckles, canonically a guy who never shuts up, a giant silent dude is like, quintessential lost in translation adaptation stuff.) Speaking of which, if we have Big Lob, we gotta get a...

I was also reminded why we don't get helicopter stunts like that anymore, which is really for the best.

WoD I think has the best reach outside of D&D and even that's iffy. Even when BRIGHT came out I was whining "It's just a knockoff Shadowrun!" and nobody knew what I meant. I even wonder how many Cyberpunk 2077 players are aware of the TTRPG origins.

Not related to Joes figures, but this popped up in my feed a few minutes ago and someone pointed out that 80s helicopter stunt pilots were often war veterans who had already seen enough shit to not be afraid to do stuff with their helicopters that were beyond, y'know, SAFETY, and it immediately...

It really is wild how much of a step back the MTG Spidey is not just compared to the Max but even the two bucks before that. Like it's not a BAD figure, it's just a step backwards in how it feels compared to the WILD ROM in the last few Spidey figures.

Yeah, following the online chatter I suspect they were going to piss off half their fans switching to Daggerheart and half their fans staying with D&D and in the end it was logistics--the game wasn't done yet, the new DM already knew a system and he's now running it for 13 players, and all 13...

I think the West End one worked really well in part because of its limited scope - the closest you could get to being a Jedi was a Quixotic Jedi so you were basically Chirrut Imwe and so everyone was playing with the same power level. It was so bare bones. Loved that about it. I need to find my...

Man, it's frustrating enough if a $19.99 figure fails, but if you are doing shoddy work on 40 or 50 dollar figures..

This is such a great idea and man, I'm over the two-packs these days because there's been so many I'd love multiple copies of just ONE of the figures from... That's a great idea. I think I'll try doing some repainting for a hot knives hand with one of the Mandarin claws first but that might...

Has anyone else had a dud battle-damaged Spidey? He's legit the first legend I've bought in like, FIVE YEARS I haven't been able to properly fix the joints on. I refuse to pay full price again for him but I'm wondering if it's worth just putting a feeler out on the secondary market for one that...

I popped in here to see if I'd missed any Jada Street Fighter news since the alt colors for Cammy and see THAT set of Gatchman figures? HOLY SHIT. A very nice true 1/12 Gatchaman set of just the main five characters is one of my absolute grails as a collector, and I don't use that term lightly...

Dude. DUDE. Like, on paper, I hate this. But in theory, Lovecraftian horrors vs. Joes is my IDEAL SCENARIO. I actually actively don't like the old school figure but given how good Classified has been at creating body horror with figures like Nemesis Immortal, I would genuinely be interested...

I swear the Star Wars game I always go back to is that olllllld West End Games one from a billion years ago. It just worked. Though the d20 version from the early aughts holds up pretty good. I'd run that again. The Fantasy Flight one looked great but any game that requires me to translate dice...

Okay, it is honestly insane how well Classified has treated me the past week. Slice and Dice; Budo; Mercer (with Sarge accessory); Desert Scorpion; Hawk; and today, the divers. And Flint/Cover GIrl/Retro Tele-Viper last week and the new Bludd before that. I've spent too much money but I'm...

I'm an absolute fool for doing it, but got the second Mandarin body today and made my Peter Wisdom, stuck a spare Widow pistol in one hand and a spare fire effect on the other (the "claw" hands from Mandarin work really well as his hot-knives power but I don't have the energy this week to try to...

Yeah, that Baroness is DESIGNED to be re-released in another deco without the pilot gear, and it should be. They could release like three repaints of her and it'd sell. No doubt in my mind we'll get a Sunbow WIld Bill. I imagine they have a time frame when they're comfortable releasing stuff...

Yeah, that's why when the last campaign I wrapped up ended everyone was telling the one new guy "dude your first campaign actually ended properly instead of died out mid-way? Don't get used to this!" (We're hitting session 30 of his second campaign this week and ended last episode with his...

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, too. Or maybe a self-perpetuating machine. The OGL really does play a factor - if you could slap 5e compatible on a Kickstarter it'd do numbers that blew anything else away. I remember Jeremy from Three Black Halflngs addressing a listener complaint about how...

Honestly, I love using D&D as my combat mechanics because I haaaaaaaaate overly prescriptive story or roleplay mechanics. I can do the story stuff on my own but I need a physics engine for when someone hits someone else with a flanged mace. But I know a lot of people love games with social...

I've actually DMed it start to finish so I feel like I can speak to what it does right and wrong. Craft-wise, it's a beautiful book. It gives you some WONDERFUL set pieces to work with. Layout and design-wise to make it useable for a DM, it's one of their best books. But it is so full of...

Is that really where it goes? Cos I found the clip from the grease gun doesn't want to fit in there very well, so I might as well...

I really feel like everybody should be forced to sit down and watch a half hour's worth of the ICE videos that cropped up this weekend. Even the most racist piece of shit in the world has to look at these absolute buffoons and wonder if they're worth a $100k signing bonus when they are getting...

In my "try to not have anything show up while I'm away" game I didn't order those two from Target while they were available since Amazon still has them Nov/Dec, but I am 100% sure they will ship early, while I"m out of town.
