Wave 4 of WWEternia actually went up for preorder and I was able to lock them down. This poo poo is gonna get out of hand fast. Looks like I'm bailing out of GIJ Classics, can't sustain all these new lines.

In sadder news, we found what I considered the perfect new home but my wife found a few deal breakers. I'm trying to convince her we can make it work. Behold what could be mine



It's TWICE the size of my current room.

Kitchen is smaller than she'd like. Bathrooms as well. It has popular cost saving measures like no overhead lighting in the upstairs bedrooms. It also needs new HVAC. She also wants something with hardwood or laminate on the first floor and the whole house has new carpeting.

Eh, we sunk $35K into the house we are selling, I estimate we could knock out the changes to the new house for $10Kish but the small kitchen isn't an easy fix.

They’ve put a new post up on FB with this text, again not mentioning Scream.

The mask existed before the movies, right?

I'm old enough to remember way back before Scream came out when every cheap drug store's halloween section was full of a dozen of those cheap ghost masks every year. I think its being so generic and ubiquitous and obviously store-bought became part of the concept in the movie. Then it became the Scream guy.

Shiroc posted:

That can be true but it also seems like if they knew they were going to do this, you just call the build one Zuul even if they didn't change the tooling. Its just a really weird thing to have done.

The thing with releasing the same terror dog twice is also baffling because for people who collect the whole line, they'll already have it... and for people who don't, who among them exactly is going to want a personal Plasma Series collection that's ONLY Louis and Vinz Clortho? It sort of makes sense as a 2-pack because that's the one that chases/possesses Louis... but then why didn't they put Zuul in the wave with Dana?

I was going to follow up with "everyone should just get the old Neca ones instead anyway, they're way better" but then I looked at eBay and they're going for $400...

It also leaves the lurking possibility that at some point, Hasbro does make a short horn dog that they officially call Zuul and try to get people to buy a third one.

The first one is very clearly just called ‘Terror Dog’ rather than identified as which particular one it is.

Edit: Zuul is in the left, Vinz on the right. (It’s in the horns)

I always accuse our dog of looking like Zuul. She is an all-black pit bull/lab mix and her ears comically stick out sideways and then curve down at the tips. Our dog does not look like Vinz Clortho :colbert:

Edit for obligatory dog pic:

I have it preordered as well, but since Walgreens abruptly cancels things I picked it up anyway. I went to the website to cancel (you can’t on the site) it says the expected ship date is 8/27.

I’ve NEVER had this much trouble with something like this before. No matter how long I soak the tail on warm water, it just won’t go on. Anyone have any experience with this?

I have this exact figure and I just needed to soak it in boiling water for maybe 90 seconds? This figure has a reputation for having stiff joints though, my only thought would be the water you're using maybe isn't hot enough? I literally used jt boiling right out of an electric kettle and it went on no problem.

My entire figure was super stiff, I had to spend almost an hour boiling literally every single joint to get his full range of motion, it was worth it though as he has a ton more articulation then I thought just from looking at it.
