What has Randy done that makes everyone say he is a piece of poo poo? I'm genuinely curious because I don't follow him closely.

Randy is a pretty cool and chill guy in real life, but he really drinks the Kool Aid they're selling.

He gets into petty arguments on Twitter that just makes him look like a manchild, it gets to nerds. I remember seeing a video about some salty nerd getting super butthurt about a back and forth he had with Randy via twitter and he was just as big of a manchild. It was sad from both side but Randy being the face of the company he really shouldn't do dumb poo poo like that.

The new Wolverine looks so awkward and is basically a case study in why they didn't go with comic accurate uniforms in the early X movies.

I actually like 1/12 3A a lot and wish they'd make it over the 12" or 8" figures.

Sadly, they don't seem to be too interested in making original stuff lately, which is sad because all I want is people who look like they stepped out a very stylish world war and also robots.

Quit trying to make this happen again! Although to be fair, they did beat Funko to market and probably should've been the bigger deal but now i've got a bunch of Might Muggs and a lot of regret and all this is doing is bringing back the pain I feel every time I look at one.

Side node: Anyone looking to buy a bunch of Mighty Muggs? I hear they're coming back into style...

I saw the bubble popping but stayed in because I liked some of the design. Only ever bought retail thank god but they take up like twice the space of a pop and I have a whole lot of them. Ugh, maybe goodwill most of the collection.

Have you all seen the new Marvel Legends revealed at NYCC?

Prowler (classic)
Taskmaster (classic)
Gladiator (the X-Men villain with the mohawk, not the Daredevil villain)
Spider-Man Noir (recycling the same old trench coat, with no fedora)
Multiple Man (in the ugly blue and yellow '90s X-Factor costume, with three different heads, but recycling the same old trench coat again!)

http://marvelousnews.com/news.php?catid=252&itemid=22263

Madrox was one of my most-wanted figures for years, but I wanted the modern X-Factor Investigations version, not that terrible Larry Stroman-designed costume.

Oh good I'll be able to find all the Multiple Mans that picky people leave behind. With such a natural army builder I'm pretty concerned about ever getting one at retail.

Probably because all the other scales have already been licensed out

I have it on my Amazon wishlist, which I'm compulsively checking throughout the day, every day. It was never available -- the listing even says "unavailable," but this way, when it finally pops up for sale, I'll be ready. It's crazy that Robot Kingdom already shipped preorder sets to people in the UK!

I have a good feeling it will be easy to get from Amazon once it shows up. Stay patient and strong!

Are there any clear poseable figure arms that you can drill into the wall? I want to pose some figures in the air or jumping off the edge of my shelves but I obviously don't want to worry about having to balance things and since large trucks driving by always shakes stuff here that could spell disaster. Also what's a good way to mount ships and stuff from a ceiling? Fishing wire?

You could wire on the ceiling or maybe try Tamashii stands with thin screws hand screwed into the other stand ports, but they would probably fall out unless you were willing to glue the arms in place.

The other option would be mounting ACBA style flight stands sideways, but you'd still see the metal.

If they claim they got them from Amazon they are lying. Kapow and quite a few eBay sellers have it in hand from the international distribution and that is where they are coming from.
