    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    Good point on the Absolute stuff- I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, but everything about it just screams McFarlane. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear he came up with some of the designs; I'm sure there's some inspiration in there. It feels like he'd have jumped on them by now, but...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    I think I'm most curious as to how the films will be tackled. I can see Mattel tackling some of the bigger films like the Superman movies, Batman Part II, etc., but who, if anyone is gonna give us figures for the more experimental films and shows? Clayface, for instance- I can totally see Todd...

    Almost completely unrelated, but I found out only now, after living in my apartment for over 8 years, that the kinda fancy schmancy private school a block away from my place is the school where Trump went up until 7th grade. Don't know how I avoided knowing that all these years, but I wish I'd...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies and Streaming Series Discussion

    I admittedly did love Majors as Kang too. Shitty person or not, the man can act. I know the whole hullabaloo around him probably soured the character in Marvel's eyes, but I don't think the right thing to do was to just erase him. There are so many talented actors of color working in Hollywood...

    That's odd. They're still showing up as 35 for me. You're looking on the MTS store? But in general, yeah- I know those promotional emails are scheduled in advance most of the time, so there's no way to know how available the thing will be come release, but it always seems to happen, and always...

    Star Wars Black Series

    Been in a bit of a rough spot emotionally today, so much so that I didn't even get around to opening Qimir, but he does look pretty darn good through the window box. The likeness isn't 100%, but it's definitely passable. Most folks will probably display him with the helmet on anyway, so not sure...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    I don't know if it was ever confirmed, but I could swear that I read somewhere that that was the original plan. Then apparently they wanted to make it so that people could get them even if they didn't get the whole wave. Which, ironically, didn't quite pan out. But I guess it's the thought that...

    Would appear so. Saw a few people think that meant that the PCs were coming with a Penguin. Obvious for those of us who've been in the know, but with as oddly handled as the drop was, if you only saw a picture of the box, I can see how you'd think so.

    Sigh. I don't even know what I believe anymore, and I hate that I really am starting to sound like a conspiracy theorist. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.

    Agreed. Granted, as someone who was raised Catholic/Christian, even I think the word basically doesn't mean anything anymore, but even among Christians- even among crazy Christian Nationalists, he's probably not even top 10 people who represent the brand the best, so what's the deal? Like, it's...

    The Chatty Pointless Thread

    Made my first ever music video edit the other day. Just arranged a bunch of pre-existing clips along to a pre-existing song, so I guess it's more of a "fancam"? Do people still use that phrase? Anyway, I had a lot of fun. Been wanting to pick up editing for a while- I'm pretty crappy at it...

    Good on AOC for having the guts to not give in to this whirlwind of madness. She's not perfect, but I tend to like most things she does, and if nothing else, I respect her for having the balls to be blunt and honest about a lot of things. It really is just so mindboggling that all of this not...

    That's riiiiight. Don't know if I ever saw that Catwoman in stores, so I forgot about it, but I did have both Penguins- they made one in the last wave or two of the Multiverse rebrand way back when. Don't know if anyone has seen photos yet- they seem to conveniently obscure the left hand in...

    X-Men '97

    Got Morph and Sunspot in today, and with as hot as it was outside, Sunspot definitely lived up to his name. Letting the plastic cool a bit before I rip these bad boys open. Got shipping notices for Cable, Emma, and Jubilee, due to arrive Monday, so since I skipped Logan for now, I'm all caught up.

    The Relationship Overshare Thread

    Right? I couldn't have gotten laid in junior high if I paid someone. 😅 I'm definitely a validation person as well, but that's something I'm working through in therapy. I overcompensate in meeting new people and can definitely come off a bit strong, but it's really just my nerves talking. On...

    1/12 Diorama/Terrain/Props/Vehicles

    Damn. That really is eye-opening to see. Glad someone took one for the team and showed off how unwieldy it would be. As well-intentioned as they are, I also think the people saying they'd be fine if it only fit one or two figures are also stretching the truth a bit. We all wanna fit the full...

    Agreed. Don't even know if they could if they wanted to. They supposedly tried to make Pfeiffer Catwoman a couple times, but (supposedly) the cost of likeness rights kept getting in the way. Bigger companies with more overhead, more people to please, etc. don't seem to have the freedom that Todd...

    I did. Followed ToyShiz's link, but from what I've gathered, it was a stroke of stupidly good luck. Seems like I may have loaded the page right when it went up, and because I was already logged in and auto-filled, I sped through checkout. But mere seconds after my order went through, the page...

    Man, what a clusterfuck. It seems the Toy Gods took a day off. As much as I try not to complain and give Todd the benefit of the doubt, he does pretty consistently prove me wrong (or right, I suppose). He's made some good figures, but I'll still be pretty thankful when Mattel gets the license...

    Finally had some luck with the Returns figures. Kept an eye on the ToyShiz links; the bundle popped up first on MTS, and I didn't feel like waiting for the others, so I went ahead and snagged it. Right about the time the order went through, Max popped up on GameStop, and I snagged him and...

    Think I've decided against the Duckmobile, but I may try and snag that Penguin loose somewhere. If anyone wants the duck but not the driver, let me know. And as always, may the toy gods be in your favor today!

    Ah, yes, because if there's one thing I want to see the President doing, it's operating a giant turret. As if he'd even know how to use the thing, with those tiny little hands of his. Also, why is he caressing the gun? Ah, nevermind- it writes itself. You didn't know the Statue of Liberty was...

    I don't know how I missed the giant golden Trump statue with the Bitcoin that was installed in DC. It is real, right? Like...it looks fake, but it also looks real. I hate how I genuinely can't tell anymore. Feel like I'm taking crazy pills. But I also don't know if I want it to be real or not. I...

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    The Suicide Squad crowdfund is definitely an interesting choice, and one I'm not entirely sure I see being as successful as the Batmobile. With that, at least you had the boost of the Snyder fanboys. We've already got 2 Margot Harleys, and granted, this may be her most famous look, but it's also...
