I think that's a big part of why the Marvel Legends line for me is better than any of the import companies that are doing Marvel figures.

Sure, there's something to be said for quality over quantity, but a universe as massive as the Marvel Universe, to me, requires the ability to build a massive collection. Import companies are pretty much only going to give you several versions of the same crop of A-list, maybe B-list characters. They're not going to put out an import-quality figure of, say, Grey Gargoyle because there's absolutely no market for it.

But with Hasbro? Literally nobody is off-limits.

You nailed it. That’s why I rarely bother with the other stuff. Until Figuarts starts doing Spider-Ham and Elsa Bloodstone and Silver Surfer, I’m pretty content with sticking to Legends. Legends just seems to get me.

Figuarts look great, don’t get me wrong. But it’s been stated already in many eloquent ways.

Irony and self-awareness is certainly lost on folks like yourself.

There is an incredible irony in bigots being bigots in a forum topic about toys of fictional social justice warriors.

You might have some luck with Mattel’s DC Universe figures, which are in the 6-inch scale as well.

Yup. I will be referring anyone who disputes the scientific assertion that our species are all marginally better formed monkeys to this subject.

And the lessons weren't even sly about it. Here's Stan Lee demonstrating very overtly for many millions of children that prejudice is evil, compassion will overcome and that the human spirit is indomitable. Every struggle had a parallel, ideally hoping to help a little in forming empathy. This isn't exactly Shakespeare on the page, but it's not hard to cut through and feel the purity of the writer's intent. Stan always said he wanted his stories to reflect the world around us. And a lot of these unwashed knobs want to salute his legacy without understanding how deeply he cared and wanted to impart that same feeling on to younger generations.

So, they're older now. Still obsessed with heroes and villains in the world, completely unable to identify which is which.

Well said.

I'm feeling like I missed some stuff. Thanks for posting that Stan's Soapbox. It's a good one.
Anyway, back to that Fwoosh link from a few pages ago. That's some great news! I hope we see a lot of it at Toy Fair next month!

There is difference between being "not PC" and just being a jackass with bad ideas.
If you have facts it is ok to offend someone, but if you only have opinions and stereotypes, you are just a tool.

Can we get back to action figures now?

Has anyone seen the Kingpin wave anywhere besides gamestop yet? I don't like paying the premium price they charge.

Yesterday, actually, though it was at a local shop and not a chain store. Figures all look pretty great, but anyone looking to pick up Black Cat should do a lot of face examining (I think Triv mentioned this), as she has some wall-eye issues of the Misty Knight tier.

And Six-Arm needs some paint.

I thought you'd be better than this...

Not just paint, but also some articulation. I really don't understand why Hasbro cut out the ab crunch and waist swivel when we have seen figures with 6 arms be fine it before.

Of course, they also just retooled the ASM2 mold, so that doesn't help matters either since the 6 armed version is not supposed to have the textures on his blue.

On the other hand, I love the colors they used. Maybe they can finally give us a Romita Sr Spidey with those colors in the near future.

he does have a big ass head.. I'm sure Charlie whatever his name was..head would be too damn big...ha



CHURCH!!!
I was done with this, as we all probably should be at this point..BUT...
this is the TRUEST SHIT... THIS is EVERYTHING....
hence my initial...Stevie Wonder comment..smh.....




Thanks..i didn't really bring up DC because of the particular forum we are in..but thanks.
I actually do already have a John Stewart head and that Superman head.
I have that Black Vulcan figure..but his look/vibe didn't quite feel right for what i was doing.
BUT..you did give me an idea to look for a Mr. Terrific head to see how that might work.
The will smith head was another one that didn't "feel right" to me.




i don't get it..
i know what an NPC is.. but i still don't get it..:confused:

Swaths of the anti-pc crowd believe pc individuals are unable to think for themselves, similar to RPG NPCs. It’s just another layer of the delusion. What is often absent from the flawed logic is how many toxic and backward views they’ve internalized with no thought given to the validity of those beliefs. Essentially, they’re Bizarros and just like their namesakes they comically believe they’re Supermen. Anti-pc is just code for ‘I want the right to abuse the sensibilities of others and spout racist, sexist and generally ignorant things without empirical evidence to back up any of the shit that falls out my mouth.’

Meh, they substitute actual ‘edge’ with dimwitted ignorance and consider themselves martyrs when they’re simply clowns.

...and ditto on Symbi expressing everthing succintly...nuff said.

Livingroom display

i just see pcism as an excuse for the creatively inept ( cough BENDIS cough ) to ruin whats pre-established instead of actually using the grey matter bewteen their ears to come up with new ideas and characters and get them as established characters.

Back to toys (where i usually am, damn you bm for getting my brain thinking again. Haha) i saw one of those archive fetts and a black cat. Black cat had derpy and cross eyes so passed and i have to say i dont like the recolors of fett. His wrist gauntlets and helmet are too light against his vest and the white underlay the armor pads are on is too white as opposed to the grey it was on the og version.

gracias hermano


different

and interesting

Due to lack of display space and having a cool wife, this was something we came up with. The plan is to duplicate whats above the records and do that below as well.

I think it’s cool. The themes are obvious and organized understatement is tres chique.

Damn jersey....i like that!

Loving that Josie and The Pussycats on vinyl. Songs from their cartoon appearances or is that the movie soundtrack? Props to both!

Saw the Capt Marvel figures at Walmart yesterday. Zero desire to own any of them. If Sam Jackson had come with Jules from Pulp fiction Afro head, I would have bought it...

not even this one?

Thanks!
It's the movie soundtrack. My daughter is into Girl rock and punk bands so we got it for her.
The comics normally change with the holidays, as you can see they are still on christmas lol

Here is a better angle without as much glare
