All of the Legends Deadpool wave is now on Amazon proper for $20 each, looks like Cable only has a couple left in stock, everything else is available.

Do you mean classic like Jack Kirby X-Men or classic like Jim Lee X-Men?

Really, either! As a child of the 90's I'd prefer Jim Lee designs, but would also love just about any costume back to issue 39. Would prefer to avoid the original costumes just for the sake of diversity / visual interest.

Post Lee, the Astonishing costumes are pretty good. Hate the Morrison Jackets. Pretty ambivalent to the last decade or so of costumes... I guess I'm getting old..."Things were never as good as yesteryear." *shakes fist* Haha!

When you're talking about X-Men this is 100 percent factual though.

I got X-23, Deadpool, and Venompool, I’m not sure how much I like Deadpool. He’s my first ML Deadpool and he’s neat and all, but the head not having the traditional bit on the back of the head where the mask isn’t fitting right (I don’t know how else to describe it) makes it seem “off” to me.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

For what it’s worth, the regular Deadpool from that wave is supposed to emulate the OG Toybiz DP, which didn’t have the pointy bit, was super red and had short katanas. I’m bummed it didn’t have a little retractable saw-knife.

It’s from his first comic which was drawn by liefeld and trash.

He got good when Kelly took over. So you are right to not love it.

Since we're talking about Marvel Legends I have a question that pertains to just about any Wolverine variant. I'm trying to find a cheap Wolvie from either the Retro packaging or the Juggernaut BAF just to display so I don't need to shell out for the packaging, but in photos on ebay it seems like there's always one claw going off in some weird direction. Am I right to assume that you can wiggle those around to have all three on each hand in sync, or are they making these from the factory all bent?

Edit: ooh my Figuarts Han Solo just came.

They're all molded, but they have set angles. You can rearrange them and hopefully get a good result, but there are either the metal ones or the casting cave ones that are straight better.

I just picked up a boxed Play Kai Arts Adam Jensen for €40 ($48) at a flea market in Berlin. It’s the collectors edition that came with Human Revolution, so there’s a CD and artbook too. I think I did alright?

It's a giant robot anime where the robots need 2 pilots like Pacific Rim except they're a male and a female, and that's the position they use.

Also they're 14 year olds.

The show takes place in a nightmare dystopia where adults spend their time locked in pods electrically stimulating the pleasure center of their brain. Children are raised from day one with the explicit message that their only value is their ability to pilot Franxx and fight monsters. They're constantly tested, drugged, and experimented on, they don't know what "kiss" means, where babies come from, what love is, and they seem pretty unclear on how a child turns into an adult. By the time they are old enough to pilot a Franxx, most of the kids have been found inadequate and Went Away. The cockpit of a Franxx is theoretically the only place in society where two people could experience emotional intimacy, what with the mind-meld thing that happens between the two pilots. But it's so sterile and sexless and tied to their only reason for survival and inevitable violent death, and comes after years of torture and brainwashing that most pilots see it as nothing more than their duty,

Except for the two main characters, who, despite having gone through even worse than their peers, love each other and are unsatisfied living within the borders of their world. They have the ability to turn piloting a Franxx into a liberatory act of love.

It's a good show

Hey it's fine that you've bought into this elaborate, convoluted scenario that was invented solely as an excuse to put mostly naked kids in sexually suggestive positions, but don't expect anybody else to.

Yeah they do. Robot, plane and halfway in-between. Too lazy to take some pics, so I'll just link to my new one on HLJ.

Its Bandai's Hi-Metal R series, which aims to be around 1/100 scale, its really good, like I love my 1/60 Yamato, but these Hi-metals' smaller size just makes them more fun to play with.

edit: lets post a pic of my Yamato

Darling in the Franxx is good, has been great lately, but it takes way too long to get to its central message. I mean, I get it now, but I almost dropped the show several times due to the sex poo poo and only stayed on because it’s a Trigger show and they generally make great stuff.

Anime is weird but can also be good.
