Basically just Benoit, Snuka, and that RVD with the rising sun flag on his singlet.

I guess Defining Moments makes sense. Ringside exclusive, far away from regular retail.

I know that some of the chases have held value, but the most reliable aftermarket prices for AEW are Sting figures; his fandom is evergreen and it feels unlikely he'll sign any sort of Legends deal with WWE when he can just run his own merchandising. (To this day, the only AEW chase I've found...

I think New Avengers was when people started turning on him. His dialogue style was starting to become self-parody and it was a terrible fit for a big, high-stakes team book, and in general he's a bad fit for a big, high-stakes team book. He's best in his own sandbox. He can do crime, he can do...

I hadn't heard of it either, but a friend of mine from a movie Discord passed that along. Great, comprehensive arguments in that; I love how he draws in philosophical notions of physical perception. (Also, I've never seen the Avatar films and I have to say, based on those clips, the credit given...

Hah, did you watch this video too?

I think both things are kinda true? The anti-woke outrage grifters have been targeting MCU stuff for a while, which is probably always going to be a factor in depressing the positive discourse or review scores, but very few people seem to have connected to the movie either. (I think the grift...

Direct sales can mean you're essentially competing with your largest buyers, the stores you're bending over to try to make happy. It can be self-defeating depending on how its done and it's also a ton of additional infrastructure costs. I'm surprised Hasbro goes as far as they do with Pulse.

I know what you're reacting to is a particular way of being online and a particular type of content, but while I was using "influencers" as a catchall for a more general kind of lifestyle content creator, the term also includes people who have expert-level understandings of their subjects (for...

Just such a great episode. Homer's reaction to the Dud card in the mystery date game looking like Milhouse is an all-timer moment. That slowly growing smile of his. I can't wait for the figure. A 5" version is the figure I need most from this line, even more than Stupid Sexy Flanders.

George Costanza is a stylish man.

Blue Shirt Bart, if you want to count him. Edna Krabappel Hockey Bart Krusty Milhouse Troy McClure Coming up, we have Ralph Wiggum, Mr. Burns, Stupid Sexy Flanders, and Sick Homer in the next wave. In the Deluxe line: Fly Bart Furious Homer King Kong Homer Radioactive Man (specifically the...

One of the things about logo-ing on fashion is that a logo is one of the only elements of a design you can actually protect legally, which is something that's become unfortunately a really great idea for brands in a fast-fashion era where ultra-cheap copies of runway designs get dropped on...

This is such a late 80s/early 90s action movie weapons pack in the best possible way. The Cannon or Carolco logo should be on the package.

As The Challenge of the Lady Ninja proves, there is no problem that can't be solved with lady ninjas. Yes to any and all.

It's been a while since I've looked, but I remember them being all over Etsy and eBay. Whether they've cracked down on that since, I don't know, but I would expect at least Etsy would still have sellers who make them.

No, that's a fair argument. I just think they may have been uniquely beneficial to Funko because Funko's name is so derided, enough that stepping into a higher-end collectible space would have earned them a ton of skepticism that might have dissuaded consumers. A company like NECA, that mostly...

My nearest Walmart got the Milhouse wave for the first time a week or so ago. They had been sitting on a slowly diminishing wave 1 and Bartmen for so long.

I don't see what Mondo provides that a million other companies don't. Are they potentially saleable to help Funko's situation/help their CEO loot some coffers? Maybe. But they don't really have much of an identity. Before Funko bought them they just seemed like the merchandise wing of Alamo...

Were those common when the Mattel line began? I'm trying to remember when those first started showing up in big box figure lines.

I don't entirely know how you can say what the upcoming Mattel line is at heart when it hasn't even begun. Like, you want it to be designed for comic figures, but there's no way it's going to entirely be that when they have movies and TV shows to sell. There are going to be collector oriented...

For me the real shame is that only this late in the line are they getting to a really broad selection of characters. It's almost the opposite of DCUC, which started with obscurities and contracted in its final retail years to a lot of A-lister variants. Todd's approach was probably the better...

And here I thought I could trust Dr. Lucifer. I love how his command console has adorable little buttons for each type of animal or insect you can control, with silhouettes for each. It's very Zoobooks sticker set.

Big fan, hope they come up with a cool, functional way to represent her powers.

Currently looking for WWE Main Event Series 159 Wendy Choo, both versions. Mattel is killing me with these deviated case packouts on the basic figures.
