Hrm, I have a few hours to think about it. I mean, it literally would be a resell purchase, whereas if I back the star saber it would 100% be a keeper.

Shipping that thing would be absolutely nuts though.

Basically just keep everything in it's original shipping box. Open the box to ensure it's all good then put it back and store it until sold.

People did exactly that with pre-ordering multiple sentinels and since this is a "made to order" type model, not at all. It'd be a completely different story if you were hoarding limited quantities and jacking up the price.

If one of you evil bastards did this I could use a sentinel.

I only got one but Hasbro absolutely should re-open the campaign again soon. The original did great but was during a time when people may not have had the money due to COVID. They'd be stupid to not make more once this initial production is done.

They are the newest release by Bird Ark- You can follow them on IG https://www.instagram.com/bird_ark/

They also has the Afro Cat as well. I know they sold out of the black pompadour cat but I don't know if they still have others. They'll put out more colorways in the future.

I don't want to poo poo up this place too bad with questions, but do you know anything about resin toys as opposed to soft vinyl?

Are those just molded and poured? Any resources for cutting in articulation?

They really need to do one of the Raimi version.

I seriously thought the Doom head for Galactus was based on some comic I never read but apparently it's just because? What a weird idea.

I only really know a small bit about resin stuff (I made the first version of my Witch Cat Lulu in resin) but not really enough to give you any detailed instructions etc. Yeah it can be made at home (ventilation ventilation ventilation) with a minimum amount of equipment to a LARGE amount of equipment depending on how deep you want to get into it. Look up bootleg toys to see makers who do wild stuff with it, like Sucklord, Dollar $lice Bootlegs, and many many more.

Was finally around two different stores that carried toys and they actually had He-Man stuff there much to my surprise. It brings back memories, I didn't buy anything mind you. There was no sign of any actual He-Man or Skeletor figures. But oh man there were two there that littered the shelves and pegs.

Rolls of Ram Man and Clamp Champ. There were so many of those two I was left wondering if they over shipped them or not. Both places were packed with them. Little of anything else.

Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho? He's a fairly generic delinquent in appearance, and he has gold buttons and no undershirt while the cat has silver buttons and a yellow undershirt. Kuwabara was probably an inspiration because everyone loves Yu Yu Hakusho and Kuwabara is the best character in the show, but it's not a 1 to 1 match

Hes basically a 1970s-1980s high school delinquent stereotype known as a bancho. The outfit he has on is called a gakuran, a standard high school boy's uniform, but open jacket because he doesn't give a h*ck. 😼

Here are real bancho on the left, fictionalized on the right.

They said they were shipping him to Walmart first, but were beginning to ship him to other retailers last week.

For what it's worth, BBTS sent me an email that they expect to him in Sept.

Chibi Moon is really nice for how small the figure is. The paint to get the shading in the hair is well done.

I believe Bancho refers mainly to the leader of the groups, the style and culture itself being Yankii.

It's a really out of date term, but it referred to the delinquent groups themselves (sukeban was the term for girl delinquents). Yankii were after bancho and is the more modern version.

Lone Mando and Cub looks really amazing, they gave him his topknot and everything.




I finally got very lucky and found an ahsoka for 10% less than retail price, the guy I bought it from had some stuff in damaged boxes my spouse wanted and sold this to me as long as I bought those too for the same price. Singaporean's can be very fussy about damaged boxes (to the point that the p-bandai-SG brown mailer boxes have a text explaining that they aren't part of the actual toy's package and refunds won't be issued if they aren't MINT) and so this was his way of getting rid of some stuff he'd have a hard time moving otherwise. Worked out good for everyone involved. Was a 3 hour round trip train/bus/lrt ride to get it, but I'm very glad I did. Ebay prices are literally three times what I paid for this.


I... talked myself out of Galactus at the last minute yesterday. We don't have haslab here, so they must be preordered through some local shops, and they're $650 with a $50 deposit. So I want to wait and see one in person first, I can buy one when they arrive next year from a few different shops here for $700 instead. If it had been firelord and/or airwalker as the final stretch goals I would have gotten it for sure. I'm 95% sure I'm going to get one when they arrive, but don't want to sign away that much money on something I'm not 100% on yet.

I also talked myself out of Galactus. With getting married stuff happening, it's not the best use of money right now! Probably for the best. It's not like I actually have anywhere to put it.

I've been adding things to my pile of crap I plan to hang on my scifi arsenal wall. I was at a shop and they had a broken Photon set for $100 and all I wanted was the pistol, they wouldn't part it out despite it being visibly busted. So $18 on ebay later and I have two more stilly toy guns.

Totally just a byproduct of me not being white, but I can't imagine being able to buy and play with toys like this as a kid outside or even as like a cosplay prop since I'd probably get shot by the cops.
