The MOTU homage lot did really well. The Figura Obscura lot, I broke even. I lost my ass on the GITD Headless Horseman.

I wonder if Todd will ever complete the Shazam team? Who am I kidding, he never completed the Suicide Squad.

That Shazam looks really weird the way the black on on the upper body and it just abruptly stopped on the mid stomach piece.

I love my Star Duster.

Congrats ! Shazam Film figures, nice. Captain Marvel Jr.'s actor likeness looks really good. That Future's End Joker figure, it looks like a character design from Tsutomu Nihei's BLAME! manga or something...

Yeah, I don't see anymore from Shazam coming.

I got the Star Duster to do a head swap with Flint, but the neck balls aren't the same size. I'd have to sand the one on Flint down quite a bit and I'm not sure I want to do that. Hopefully they announce a retro carded Flint with a new head sculpt.

Thanks! The likeness on Freddy is rather good.

I thought Flint was fine, it was Falcon that was ugly.

Flint is definitely better than Falcon, for sure.

Great new figures. I'm curious about your comment about Joker. It was a figure that talked about and wondered about a lot. There were even comments that it might be one of the best Joker figures ever.

Congratulations. Great.

The Silver Age Joker? It's probably the best one McFarlane has done yet. It shares most of the body with previous releases, but the head sculpt is near perfect.

I don't see anything special about that Silver Age Joker... It is just an average Joker, but then again, i don't care about Silver Age. lol I am a 90s kid.

We won't hold that against you.

Ah, How understanding of you. I am deeply touched, but i won't sue you for sexual harassment.

Did you pay extra for the Jonah Hex?

No. Just ordered him as soon as he popped up on Walmart for the Collector Con thing.

nice! I wish McFarlane would do something like that for some other highly sought after variants, like Blackfire and Red Superman. Speaking of which, I never even saw Blue Superman!

firmpulse · 10-30-2024, 08:09 AM

I wish he'd ship the Beyondmobile early. That's a "drop everything" painting project for me. I think he did a great job with the plastic finishes but, I still want to paint it. May lessen the amount of gloss sections. But that's up in the air.

I have the first Batman Beyond. There have been some minor mods I've wanted to do since release. Guess I'll do those now to.

Do you need Blackfire? I think the Target about an hour from me has one there. I go about once a week.

I don't think I ever saw either Superman in store.

Can't wait to see your work!

Whoa, you got the movie figures already?!? Wonder Woman still doesn't look like Gal Gadot, but she is much better than the previous attempt.

I agree. She is leaps and bounds better.

I like him way more than I thought I would. I was really on the fence. Oddly enough, I'm having trouble deciding which head sculpt to put on him. Seeing the pictures, I was certain the more classic head would be it for me.
