My biggest beef with the line is that while they look great, their articulation is worse than most Diamond Selects, which is frankly embarrassing. They're great if you just want to have all your action figures standing around, though.

Yeah, 4 Horsemen have been using that same base design for decades now.

For what it's worth i got my first mythic legions recently and thought that the articulation was impressive given how much they prioritize sculpt.

There's a thigh swivel that I thought was great and despite the lack of double joints in the arms and legs there was still a pretty good amount of flex. Definitely better than DCUC articulation.

My coffee hasn't kicked in yet and I read this tweet as McFarlane making 66" Batman figures. It was a wild world I was living in for a few seconds.

Coffee's still kicking in here too and that's exactly how I read it at first. First thought was "uhh how are they not going to sell these for less than $400??"

It's already done wonders for cleaning up the TMNT Super7 stuff I have out, but gotta look into getting some of the other NECA stuff out as well.


While I SHOULD be separating the large scale Super7 TMNT from the much smaller NECA ( And fixing poses to not just be so rigid ) I instead am going to try and use the other shelving to try and fix this atrocity that is constantly falling over:

John Walker should ONLY ever be a Funko Pop. Like, even on the show he should be represented at all times by that Pop on a stick that they wave in front of the camera.

TV show spoilers: Don’t we literally see him signing one of the MLs in the second episode, at the football stadium scene when he greets the crowd? I swear that packaging is real familiar.

Edit — I checked, it’s at the 5:20 mark, it’s not the ML but the packaging is essentially the same

The packaging is identical but I think the toy from the episode is a 12” doll or something. It looks bigger than a ML.

For a number of years I was basically only buying ones to fill out a standard DnD party format (Ranger, warrior, paladin, fighter, sorcerer, wizard, warlock, etc), and some representatives from “evil” races to fight. I’ve gotten enough raises this past year to afford more but I still don’t really care about orcs or regular elves, for example.

As an aside, I love this line’s lore for vampires in that they’re super corrupted elves and not a wholly separate race.

It’s also a good time to get into this line because two of the Four Horsemen are being produced this year, the leaders of the bigger evil factions with their own unique mounts, both of which are sure to skyrocket in price down the road.

Speaking of which, preorders for both Arethyr (The Horsemen of War) and his horse Aethon just came back up on BBTS. This wave should be shipping in April/May, and they will sell out quickly.

Arethyr - https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/103208

Aethon - https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/103287









He does come with detachable wings.

Ha, I'm so used to anything I bid on on eBay getting brutally sniped at the last minute that I kinda stopped paying attention to one of my bids, but I just did a routine email check and found out I won it. I am finally going to own a MOTUC Bubble Power She-Ra, AKA the upgraded version of She-Ra with more detailed armor and better articulation. I set my max bid just short of the cheapest "buy it now" price I could find, accounting for shipping, and the would-be snipers drove me straight up to my max bid, so it wasn't exactly a good deal. I've also been trying to score the Adora figure, but I've lost out on several of those.

Earlier today? I almost bid on that but I was worried I'd snipe it out from under you.

Yeah, it’s definitely neat for $13. Easy to snap together too. And you can leave off the bottom effects if you just want the lightning.
