    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    I remember happily finding it in a Walmart — and then realizing I really, really didn't like the weapon arm. Looked like something you'd get with a Happy Meal toy. He was very nice otherwise but that was a deal-killer for me.

    Snow C.A.T. Live!

    In my head, the Cobra stuff has always been smaller/kind of whacky (FANG copter, I'm looking at you) because they're a terrorist organization that doesn't have the production capabilities a militarized country might have. Sure, they probably have some deal going with a Third World country or...

    What is your most recent deal, or "steal" on toys?

    I would have been all over those Hiya Joes for the same reason. I have a small JoyToy/Acid Rain collection they'd probably fit in with very well.

    Marvel Toys on Sale

    Always hang on to your receipt. Especially with Target clearance.

    McFarlane DC Multiverse

    Missing out on that Mezco One:12 KGBeast a few years back still hurts me to this day. A McFarlane version would be great. Also, should I just accept that the red Cyborg Superman has come and gone from Target at this point? Never saw a sign of him — and I looked, I looked hard ...

    Marvel Toys on Sale

    Yeah, I'm seeing a whole lot of Banshee at my local stores. The Walmarts around here all seemed to get a case (I'm guessing) of this wave in the past few weeks. I haven't seen any remnants of the wave lately, so they must have sold ok — but if it's only a case at a time ...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    What? No Channing Tatum? But what about this awesome dude: It's one of the best Retaliation releases. I had so many of these at one point thanks to the pre-trash days of 5-Below. PS: Is there some way to control the size of the photos? I didn't need this much Tatum ...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    Yeah, a lot of good stuff but I'm surprised by how little I'm drawn to the orc. I should be all over Tundra Orcs but I'm more intrigued by the 3.0 body than the actual look of him. I think he could've used an unmasked head. Feel the same about Igraine and Halvard and their main heads, not a fan...

    Marvel Toys on Sale

    Thanks for the heads up — grabbed the last Iron Man at the Target closest to my office this afternoon. Shocked Chuck is still $17.49. I don't think they've sold a single Prof. X figure at that store, even at 30% off. Also, you can't base a wave's success on Target clearance trends. They're...

    Comic creators RIP thread

    Damn, this is sad news. I got into Marvel Comics in the very early '80s and from what I understand he deserves a lot of credit for how great much of that decade was for Marvel. And it really was something special. They'll never be anything like it. I was there for some of his Avengers stuff and...

    Snow C.A.T. Live!

    I was distracted by all the Steelers/Dolphins craziness this morning and forgot about the stream. The Snowcat is better than I imagined it would be. I really like the size and the look of it. A bit more bulky and impressive than the OG version, which I was a big fan of. Great idea having the...

    Action Force and Valaverse

    Thanks for posting. The Locust looks like it's coming along nicely. How long till GI Joe announces the night landing raft? I'm gonna guess not too long. Kinda just skimmed through the figures but there were a couple that caught my eye. The big news is the Splinter Cell license and WWII line...

    Inart 1/12 DC Figures

    Received mine as well about 9 a.m. today. Interestingly, UniUni was the deliverer for me. I don't have a lot of time to mess with it right now but I had to see the Bale head in person. Does not disappoint at all. It's actually stunning how good it looks in person. Here's a quick pic with my...

    Mezco One:12

    Anybody bite on Agent Gomez 1975 today? Was kind of annoyed he was $125 but thought it was a cool enough version with the afro and all— then I was hit with a $26.50 shipping charge in checkout and said screw it. What a joke.

    Marvel Toys on Sale

    The summer purge is underway at Target. Among all the clearance tags that sprouted up at my closest store yesterday, I spotted Rom wave Iron Man down 30% to $17.49 and Miles Morales down 15% to $21.49. Strangely, Banshee was still at full price. The retro Charles Xavier was also 30% to $17.49.

    Acid Rain World: Novark

    Yeah, no doubt. I'm sure they'll be worth the extra cost. And there's so many ways they can go between the figures, drones and the vehicles ... an Ankylo?

    Acid Rain World: Novark

    Oh boy. I only have a few 1:18 figures but they're great. These will be tough to resist — unless they're really expensive, which I feel could be a real possibility.

    Dan Mitchell's Bushido!

    That cardinal figure and its demon eyes comes out of nowhere as you're flipping through the pics. Wasn't expecting that in the sequence.

    Operation Monster Force

    Wow, the Phalanx looks very manageable in the pics. Thankfully, I'm not very drawn to the Crimson Moon stuff but everything else looks so damn good.

    Last Movie Watched

    Damn, dude. That's impressive. I was only 10 in '82 so I was out on Blade Runner, Thing and Poltergeist (my parents thought it looked too scary — saw it a couple years later on HBO and they were right). I still had ET, Tron, Star Trek II ... and Megaforce! I had to see them one day at a time...

    Star Wars Black Series

    Yeah, I feel like I already hemmed and hawed over Dash and decided to pass. That head just throws it too far off for me. But I'll be there for Barriss.

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    That's the great thing about going to an event with 4H — most of the stuff they have available is the same price it was during the preorders, in my experience anyway. Kalizirr was $50, with no tax or shipping ... Haven't noticed any paint issues but I usually get them into a pose I like early...

    Four Horsemen Studios Mythic Legions

    You may get lucky. They actually received a bit more figures than all-in orders from the first shipment and a few of the partial orders are starting to ship. I received a shipping notice yesterday for the undead head pack, Sir Enoch and Berodach. Which was a very pleasant surprise. It made up...

    Star Wars Black Series

    How about $109.99? As Spinc pointed out above. That's what Preternia has posted, too. God help me I don't think it's that crazy of a price considering those sweet Mustafar pieces — and by and large, I've been pretty down on most recent Star Wars offerings. Barriss looks really good too. I...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series

    My brother received this for Christmas in '88. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. It was like a leg-less AT-AT with a lot of cool stuff to mess around with. The vehicle bay was the best. I'd have to put a Classified-scale version in my backyard — and I might do it given the chance! And...
