I hope with DuckTales we get some stuff from the revival show, too. And hopefully from the Barks and Rosa comics? That Scrooge looks incredible.

DAMMIT. I didn't have any interest in McDonald's figures, but vaporwave once again calls to me.

I thought the licensing issues were pretty much over for this one? Feels like the Friday merch floodgates have opened again, plus they finished filming on that Crystal Lake show late last year. Even the game's development ending was largely due to the way online games are classified legally -...

Yeah, I'm glad to have it confirmed that we're getting accessories to that extent. The WWE line at that price point doesn't typically have them, but a superhero line without them doesn't really work. He's got more with him than I had expected.

That would probably depend on what they're able to show at this point, with the transition from McFarlane to Mattel. Also, Toy Fair is a trade show. It's primarily for retail buyers, not us. There's not much point in showing off stuff that retail's going to have to wait on.

Yeah, the Hell Jason makes sense that way, only being from the game, and JTM also has that glossy sheen in the movie because it's got that very late 80s neon grime aesthetic. JGTH definitely stands out as clean-looking to me compared to how he looked in the movie. So, I don't know. It would be...

Yeah, that was actually a way of tracking damage on Jason. There was a very specific, elaborate killing method, and doing enough damage to get his mask off was part of it.

JTM uses the fire axe as his main weapon in the game. The weapons became swappable, but they never had the guitar. But by the time development ended due to the Jason rights lawsuit, the Lazarus ship was being planned as a stage, so it feels safe to say that the guitar would have at least been an...

We had the exact same reaction. WE NEED J.J.'S GUITAR. Fun fact: Saffron Henderson, her actress, has voiced both Kid Goku on Dragon Ball and Gohan on DBZ.

Alright, so the Friday the 13th piece is literally just the shrine. Which is cool, I'm going to buy it, I'm a sucker, but I was hoping for a little more. The interesting thing is that they're marketing it specifically as being from Friday the 13th: The Game, and I'm just saying, if they want a...

I wanna see parents get pissy about it while there's a figure of, like, Sub-Zero with a decapitated head on the next peg over.

Continue with the hockey theme: they should jump on Heated Rivalry while it's still big.

They've already done stuff for One Punch Man, Demon Slayer, and My Hero Academia, but they never really seem to promote it as extensively as the DC stuff despite how big those properties are. If they can get One Piece, like if there's still an option to grab it in a format Bandai might not be...

Yeah, that's the thing, what could McFarlane produce out of available licenses that has the footprint the DC does, both culturally and with collectors? Like, a central hub property for the next 5 years the way Multiverse seemed to be for them. The Sony games license is a decent acquisition but...

There's a house near me whose yard has over 100 inflatables for Halloween, and it's pretty impressive at that scale, but otherwise, yeah, the inflatables are pretty boring. And cheap-looking and modern in a way I don't really like. Meanwhile, every picture I take of my parents' super-cheap...

It depends on how much they're rebooting. Based on what I've seen in news articles, they seem to be pretty vague about that. "With Mark Waid saying that, despite all the different versions of the team that have existed over the years, the one DC has chosen to use is one he's 'confident everyone...

"Sometimes I'd rather read a summary of a movie or book than actually reading or watching it." I think it's probably fair to say that most people don't view a movie or book as just an Event Delivery System and that the experience of a story is distinct from the experience of a plot synopsis...

...you would just start watching from the first season. It's a TV show. It has seasons. You would just scroll to the first episode on whatever streaming service you're using to watch it. Because of the Absolute line, which is a publishing line designed to give people versions of the characters...

It's fun and interesting to read good stories. It's not fun and interesting to read Wikipedia pages about stories. No one wants to do that rather than just start reading something accessible. Most other forms of entertainment don't ask that; the reward is in the art itself, not in learning...

The comic where everyone is in the Justice League, much like the cartoon that was on for years where everyone was in the Justice League? Yes, but even if I hadn't, "I guess we can call on Green Arrow in the unlikely event we need arrows" isn't much of a conceptual challenge when most of the...

Justice Society reboots have never been terribly hard to follow. 1. "They're too old now. Forget them, book's canceled, we're focusing on other things." 2. "They're still old, but young enough to be active without calling social services on us. Here's a new book if you like a preachier Justice...

From a boutique company standpoint, I guess it makes sense. I can't think of many obvious pop culture police cars that people are really clamoring for or that connect to an existing line, unless you count the generic police officer in Classified. There's probably more of a market in doing...

Hopefully they're the first company with the courage to make a little remote-controlled SCV and a big pile of minerals to mine with it. StarCraft could be a great cozy game if the other players would just learn to relax.

I never even considered that they might make RC ambulances! I have the one from the WWE Wrekkin line, but I should look into that.

A couple of arguments for buying the boat.
