    Charging more by the inch? Last time I heard that was.....well.....nevermind. 🤪 But yeah, I don't know how true that is. They may tell us that, but I dunno. There is a price gap between Vintage Collection and Black Series, sure, but it's not that much, relatively. Granted, it's easy for me...

    Hasbro possibly doing Tron?

    I can't see the word "Rinzler" without my brain immediately filling it in as "Rizzler". Sometimes I miss who I was before the brainrot.

    Figura Obscura

    Same here, kinda. But I have to assume they'll probably release it again in the retailer exclusive re-release. Might be a different color, but sometimes they look even cooler!

    I'd agree with Ru, I think you made the right call. Always go with your gut in situations like that. I've had similar things happen, and most of the time it's all kosher, but a few times- always the times when I check the address first and a little alarm goes off in my head- I've had issues...

    His head isn't gonna look natural on any figure other than Jabba the Hutt, with JD as Salacious.

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    I don't at all disagree, and I do have to wonder- if/when a company makes a big swing, like Todd switching to 7 inches from 6, why the company that gets the license after doesn't at least attempt to play ball? If the line crashed and burned, that would be one thing, but since there's obviously...

    Your favorite collection tips and tricks

    I'm definitely considering one of those blowers (tee hee); I didn't even know they existed! My only concern is that, by just blowing the dust all willy nilly, doesn't it just get thrown into the air and come down elsewhere? Or do you have a vacuum handy to suck it up as it all falls? Or do you...

    Gives the term "Private Eye" a whole new meaning, if you catch my drift. (Brilliant, though, alt. You should write the next Naked Gun).

    NECA - General Thread

    Not a bad idea. But I also know my local Targets, and they put returned broken things back on the shelf all the time, and me being me, I'd always have that nagging feeling of feeling bad that someone bought a broken figure because of me. I may consider that, but I may honestly just glue the foot...

    Damn, an icon. He's one of those people where, even if you don't know his name, it's impossible not to know his work.

    U.S. Politics

    Oh, for sure. I don't even necessarily mean a literal "side". We just all want to feel that our point of view, no matter how similar or detached from others, is the right one. Our love is better than other's love, our acceptance is better than other's acceptance, etc. Problem is, lots of folks...

    Nor am I a plumber, but I know a bunch of shit backing things up when I see it. Whataboutism is one of the biggest plagues America has nowadays. We're never gonna get anywhere because we just keep deflecting blame onto the opposite side. Sure, everyone wants to feel like they're on the "better"...

    Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

    Sheesh. Is my wallet a mutant? Because Hasbro's been sent to destroy it. But hey, at least you get free shipping. 😅 Was hoping to get my hands on one of them if/when they released more, but I guess not. I'll stick with my 2 Titan Heroes Sentinels, then. They're really not bad figures, at...

    Wasn't necessarily a choice of theirs. They were living nice and cozy in California, arguably the best possible place, but moved to Georgia to help take care of a sick family member of his boyfriend's. Long story, but nobody else in the family was willing to and insurance was being, well...

    I suppose the logic of "you never know until you ask" does technically work the other way too. Brilliant! I'll have to try it!

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    I'm in a similar boat- I'm planning on offloading a bunch of old McFarlane DC figs, but mostly the ones I bought on a whim or back when the line started to support it. I'm still keeping plenty, and happy to. For all my frustrations and shit that I give Todd, he does make good figures more often...

    Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

    I totally get the frustration. But to be fair, I've been on both sides of that one. Some folks either don't know what they have or just want to get rid of things. I've admittedly made some pretty lowball offers before just to try my luck, and they're mostly declined, but every now and then I'll...

    Marvel Toys on Sale

    Oh yeah, tons. Here in NY, Walgreens and Duane Reade (owned by the same people, so they're basically the same) are the biggest pharmacy chain. There's basically one every couple blocks, followed somewhat closely by CVS. Those are the only big chains, everything else are little independent...

    If by "light" you mean "oncoming train", I could support this. At the very least, it's nice knowing the man has no delusions about where he's gonna go after, but if he's already made peace with that, there's no telling what he'll be willing to do. I think we've already seen there's no limit to...

    That's one of the times when I'd employ the use of that old phrase, "'No' is a full sentence." If I were to respond at all, a simple "No" is all you'd get out of me. 😅

    Finally got around to getting the figures out that I got while visiting home last week, including Red Death. Of course as soon as I go to pose him and put him on the shelf, his foot snaps off. Had to throw out the boxes back home in order to help them fit in my bag on the plane, so returning...

    I don't really collect Spawn or COD, but I'd pick that up just on coolness factor. If nothing else, the body could be worked into a pretty easy generic thug.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe Figure Discussion

    Right? Seeing Galactus on the big screen really woke up my inner child. The Surfer Chase/Sue Birth Scene was one of the most tense Marvel moments for me in a bit, and the ending with Sue hit me in the feels, even if I knew she wasn't really gone. Not a perfect film, but a ton of fun, and clear a...

    I take it everyone who's receiving the Penguin Commandos ordered just them? Cuz I ordered the bundle from MTS, including the commandos, and haven't had any movement. Never thought I'd have FOMO from little plastic penguins, but here we are. 😅
