That was also my first thought, but I suppose technically it could go in the other direction, that they've tooled all these unique weapons already to prepare for their solo releases but wanted to squeeze a bit of extra money out of them by throwing them in this deluxe pack? Unlikely though. I...

As a cryptid fan this is definitely tempting but my random horror shelf is already too crowded to add something I only kind of like. I think I have to wait for the inevitable retailer-exclusive red repaint that will let it fit in more with my red krampus, as a denizen of Limbo or Mephisto's...

If your story only has a one or two people of a certain race, and each of them is an offensive caricature, that pretty much does say, "they all are". I'm not saying the Mandarin is like that in a modern context, but during the silver age of American comics, how many ethnically Chinese heroes, or...

By the way, apparently the individual heads and tails they're selling on their website are colour-matched to the shadow slate (wish I knew that when I did my order, as I would have bought some), which is not obvious at all based on the pictures, and the product listings don't say it anywhere. So...

Pretty sure that helmet doesn't come off, but now you've made me doubt myself lmao. Nin's unhelmeted head and the head with the helmet from the accessory pack are completely different.

My go-to head swap for evil sorcerers is the MoM Mordo body. Already changed the skin tone on the neck and swapped the belt for a Kulan Gath kitbash, so when I want a robed Mandarin that's what I'll use.

Heroes: 1. Manifold/Eden Fesi 2. Cable (2000s costume) 3. Psylocke/Betsy (Krakoan era Captain Britain) 4. Genesis/Evan Sabahnur (school uniform) 5. Rasputin IV 6. Emma Frost (Marauders) 7. Kitty Pryde (Marauders pirate costume) 8. Storm (2000s/modern) 9. Storm (X-Men Red/Krakoa) 10. Gateway...

Rama was going to be the first figure of a line of mythology/religion-inspired action figures by Go Go Dynamo. That kickstarter from 2013 failed, and they later pivoted to a line of customisable figures called "ModiBots" that funded successfully.

If you don't have Nin Vilimir, you should get Nin Vilimir. One of my favourite figures of all time, and it looks like he's about to sell out on their website.

So the shoulder pads and the chestplate have a lot of red, adding to that organic chitin/metal confusion, and the base of the horns have a red gradient going upwards. Not an ugly design choice, it just doesn't particularly read as anything except that this atlantean necromancer conqueror or...

I think he and Nashorn are tied for worst armour in the line so far. I think any design that makes you stop and think "Wait what actually is going on there?" is a failure. It should read as what it's supposed to be as soon as you see it. Jaeger's shoulder pads: Metal? Iron? It's grey but not as...

I remember in one of the early podcasts the sculptor Kevin Delies mentioned that Jaeger was designed to make use of werewolf parts that they already had sculpted and wanted to tool - making Jaeger technically the "re-use" of a figure that hasn't been shown yet, I guess. If they were so eager to...

He definitely has bicep cuts. I use boiling water when loosening up figures and have never had a problem, so I suggest you soak him up to the bicep in boiling (I mean water from a kettle, not like actively boiling) water for several minutes then try.

Bill Sienkiewicz is my favourite artist of all time so I would love a version of Sabretooth from his cover of Wolverine #10. The 3 3/4" version was also one of my favourites when I first started collecting Marvel figures as a kid.

I have the Neca DnD dwarf Elkhorn and he seems to technically have the same elbow construction, but I feel like that comparison doesn't do justice to Harvinger's engineering. Their elbows allow a much better range while also looking even more seamless than Neca.

My bet is that the "most recent comic Wolverine" that was leaked at some point is probably Ultimate Wolverine. At least I hope it is, since trying to do something with that stupid gold admantium from his current 616 solo would be a worse mistake than even "hot claws" was. Other than that I...

I hope we're beyond getting characters like Ares and Skurge as BAF releases these days. They're basically only a tiny bit larger than regular figures, without extras like tails or wings or anything complicated and bulky to justify it. The Phantom Rider horse BAF would have precedent with the...

I remember seeing somewhere that Krieger's belt buckle is supposed to double as a small buckler shield, and that he came with an extra shield handle to accommodate that? Can anyone who has him confirm?

Agree 100% on everything. I was kind of enjoying some of it but suddenly Tarzan is about to murder an African villager because he finds them mildly annoying, or discovering a lost civilisation that just happens to have the exact same ideas about racial and gender hierarchies as Burroughs'...

Not sure if it's the same as "urban fantasy", but what I call "low fantasy" is usually a huge pet peeve of mine. I basically hate the tropes of magic and monsters existing in some kind of analogue of the real modern world. Obviously I don't dislike all fiction like that, I've enjoyed plenty of...

I feel like the "rote, predictable" thing is a side effect of being the originator of an entire genre. Like, once you've read Joe Abercrombie and GRR Martin, of course Howard and Tolkien will seem cliché or predictable. Also, old writers were not a monolith anymore than today's writers. Verne...

This is also the biggest reason I bought Krieger and Who-Man. It's a shame they didn't release a "slate" or "savage" to army build the humans with. The cynical part of me suspects that was deliberate to get us to army build the more expensive characters, but their stated reason was that they...

Their website says all current orders of lizard figures come with the flat feet as well as the old feet, with no need to order them separately.
