Here's something that might interest people here. There's a Kickstarter just started for a book about unmade toys. It's a little pricey for a book, but if the promises hold up, it should be a nice coffee table book about action figures that never quite made it.

That a cool idea for a kickstarter, but it also always depressing hearing about what figures never happened as a kid. Like I have all the figures from the old Darkwing Duck and Talespin toyline, but even on the back of the package you can see two characters who were never made for Talespin. Or DWD having a second wave that would hat at least the rest of the major villains and supporting heroes.

Has anyone ever found a reliable but not annoying way to tighten NECA predator joints? All my beloved Kenner-style predators from a few years ago can't stand up any more, especially Lava Planet.

Oh man the new Mezco 1:12 stuff looks amazing. Ghostbusters, Popeye, Space Ghost, Captain Marvel with a little Mr. Mind, Ash, Dawn of the Dead Zombies! I wasn't too keen to jump on board before but now I feel like I have no choice.

Where are you seeing them? Have they fixed the Ghostbusters so they're not looking like they've got fat suits on?

Caesarian Sectarian posted:Future? Yeah, sorry, that's an obvious possibility. I guess I was wondering if anyone has other methods. I've used future a million times but it never seemed suitable for something like a NECA knee joint. Do you just put a little on and work the joint for 10 minutes until it's dry?

My Yamaguchi Spider-Man's head pin keeps falling apart, so I had to start an exchange with BBTS with an elaborate video. Here, have fun watching! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1H9V5cVcsngVUNxdVo4cGRmbDQ/view?usp=sharing EDIT: (And yes, I had to lay my phone on the edge of a table to have both hands free. Shutup.)

That Daredevil and Spidey are so tempting, but the risk of crotch rip on the cloth outfit dissuades me. Also that Netflix Daredevil's outfit looks so terrible, jesus. Hopefully they fix that poo poo up in the next year, otherwise that'll be one garbagey figure.

Big Mean Jerk posted:. And why is it impossible to find smiling Superman merch? The man smiles! He smiled for 70 years! I think the only smiling Superman figure I won is the Jack Kirby one and even then it's more of a grimace. I have a Man of Steel statue of Christopher Reeve that has him beaming though.

Replace his head with Shazam's. Easy. DC should should put out Doc Shaner designed figures.Grins would come standard.

"Steve, you gotta help me, I bought way too much stiff huge-threaded fabric!" "Bill, you've been my best friend for 20 years and you're my son's godfather, but my company makes 1:12 figures and soft goods always look terrible at that scale." "If you don't help me offload this fabric, I'm going to lose everything!" "May god forgive me, even though I can never forgive myself....send the lot over." *shoots self*

What makes the Mezco 1:12 figures so good? On Amiami they're twice the price of, say, a Mafex figure and while I can see some slight differences I can't see twice the price worth of differences.

If they make any of the supporting Space Ghost characters, I'll cave. Someone make me an amazing 1:6 Brak and you can have all of my money.

While I don't know if it makes them good, what makes them cost more is that they have clothes. They're not just articulated plastic figures.
