Gripweed posted:I just heard that they were bringing back an old toyline that I loved as a kid and got very excited, only to be very disappointed that when they said "bringing back" they mean releasing some army men type figures completely different from the original toys. I'm phrasing it that way so no one here will hear the name of the toy line and get very excited only to be disappointed why they see the product like I was. I have spoilered the image because, frankly, it's very disappointing. You don't have to look if you don't want to. That is terrible. Those were by far my favorite toyline as a kid.

Joe Fisto posted:I had to heat up the hands to put them on as well. It don't like the ankles, but as far as complaints go its pretty minor. I think its an older fig rereleased (barrett too) so I expect the rest of the line to be a bit better. I was trying to find reviews that would compare version 1and 2, out of curiosity, which is how I ended up finding that guy that scraped the hell out of his sword. Most of the videos are in Japanese but I think they re-engineered his hips a little, did a new head sculpt, and made the hair translucent, which some people don’t like but I think looks great. I don’t know if they have made any changes to Barrett, but that one was also released a few years ago.

I wish that Sister of Battle had an unmasked head with that awful haircut; I prefer that look. Has it been mentioned if there's gonna be an unpainted one?

Man, I just discovered that there's not one, but at least two companies out there making sexy Arcee variants or accessories. One's a literal new robot with some kinda car transformation, and even comes with replacement boobs that are squishy. One is a literal 4 pack of squishy boobs in various sizes too go on your regular Arcee figure, with bonus chest plate lifting action so she can flash, your other anime statues I guess? It's 3am and I dunno what the gently caress to do with this information other than share it so others can be confused with me.

EBgames in Canada had the Pulsecon exclusives briefly, though only the Logan/Xavier set and Ghostbusters Tully thing are left. Significantly cheaper than buying through Pulse, and also available in Quebec. Also available much sooner if the ship dates are to be believed.

Pixel Dan did a video about how bad distribution is on that but I won't link it because it sounds like he won't flip on Megadickbag Toys so I don't want him to get ad clicks until he changes his mind.

Dang. Sucks that he's more concerned about his own $$$ than standing up to the company that's very publically dicking over its customers. He can do better.

Dunno off should mention it, but factory entertainment had life sized prop replicas of stuff for sale, such as Skeletor's staff from the cartoon. It's up for pre order now.

I wonder how long until there is a cheap KO. Most large cons have a dozen places to buy weapons at and they all stock the same Zelda and Thundercats swords. Hell like 15 years ago I bought a weird semi-replica of Skeletor's 200X sword. It was super lovely and only had one half of the blade but it was clear what it had been modeled after. Wish I'd hung on to it. As for going to a con. I have a lot of poo poo going on in my life right now. I've been trying to get into regular therapy with little success and the real world outside of my house and job is loving SOUL CRUSHING. I've been out in public plenty in the last few weeks, my paranoia and hatred of people has kept me distant from everyone. I kind of need to go do something for myself or I'm worried about my mental health. And besides, you jerks told me to drive to fuckin Jersey.

I’m used to being super social and going out with friends three or four times a week and now the best I can do is the occasional online game or zoom call with them. It loving sucks being isolated from your support group and toys have become a very easy source of retail therapy to supplant that this year. But you still have to be careful about this poo poo and right now crowds are a big risk. Castle Greyskull ain’t worth myocarditis or impaired lung function or worse.
