Nerd Of Prey posted:Off topic, but: For all you Timothy Olyphant fans, a great and underrated performance of his was as himself on the short-lived but excellent sitcom “The Grinder,” where he has a friendship/rivalry with Rob Lowe’s actor character. That show had a great cast all around, but he stole a lot of scenes. I also learned that he’s in Scream 2. (I learned this by watching the movie for the first time yesterday) (he is also the killer)

The best Timothy Olyphant project that most people haven't seen, but would like, is A Perfect Getaway. Highly recommended to all.

The Hasbro thing is doing Classified at the moment. The BAT looks basically perfect, while Tiger Force Outback looks dope af - the white/grey hair looks better than the classic version and I want that deliciously tangy orange t-shirt. Oho, Spirit now. Looks really great too. Annnnd there's your classic Storm Shadow. Nailed it.

That Croc Master is incredible. Also the proper cartoon accurate 3 3/4th inch Skystriker is a Haslab. $229.99, which is real tempting.

I'm tempted to jump onto that support for the Skystriker. She's a beauty and something I had has a child. About time they had a version that didn't have the darn wing/wheel issue.

radlum posted:I'm surprised that GI Joe Classified was the line with the best announcements for me. Marvel was mostly OK and Star Wars was a dissapointment. Yeah but those announcements are clouded by how impossible it has been to get the figures. Like I’d love a bunch of BATS but you know they will be impossible to get, same as the rest of their troopers. Hasbro has had a awful track record with 6 inch figures with this actually. Look at Black Series Storm Troopers for example. Impossible and expensive to get. Marvel had nothing that was really impressive sadly. Like I am excited for the 20th stuff but they are figures we basically have had before. The Walgreens Zemo is great but trying to get Walgreens figures is like pulling teeth. But when you really look at it, you have nothing but repaints being shown outside of Knull, Vulcan and D'Spayre both were super early digital renders. It is exciting that Bucky Cap will be dead soon but I feel like they could have given more, something to really wow.

Any UK peeps, I’m London based but I zip back and forth to the US a fair bit (we have a place there, and will be going back for the first time in 18 months). If you want to buy from the US Pulse site and mail it to my US place, I’ll bring it back to the UK and mail you it. Drop me a PM if you want to do that.

My experience is everyone else tends to get their orders before hasbro ships stuff, so it isn't worth getting. I'm not renewing next year for sure, I've gone to bbts to get stuff and canceled pulse orders because it took too long.

That Croc Master is very, very good but I've never really cared for him so eh. Disappointed with the Skystriker - designing it around the 3.75 figures means it won't really work for the modern era 4" guys. The back pegs on the seats aren't compatible with the newer designs (they have a much smaller peg/backpack hole) and I'd imagine that extra .25" means you can't fit two guys in there, their legs will be crushed, their heads will be pressed against the canopy, etc. It's not a problem for every classic vehicle/playset but it is for things like this, the Rattler, the Vamp/Stinger, they all need slight retooling to fit the 4" bods. If they do a Killer WHALE though, I'm totes on board.

I'm astounded that three hours later, and all the new GI Joes are still available on Hasbro Pulse UK. In fact, I think the only Pulse Con fig announced that has sold out is the skeevy-looking "Trapper Wolf" X-Wing pilot.

Gonna keep them in their boxes until more come out. Hasbro hosed up by not making Morph as one of the first figures, that would've hooked collectors on the edge.

Gonna keep them in their boxes until more come out. Hasbro hosed up by not making Morph as one of the first figures, that would've hooked collectors on the edge. Yeah that would have been the thing. I imagine that it will be a way for Hasbro to rerelease a lot of the Jim Lee/90s Mutant figures again that will sell. Granted I would have been fine with more retro waves but evidently the X-Men Retros did by far the worst at retail of any of them, which isn't surprising since outside of Storm there was little interest from the majority of the fanbase for most of the characters chosen. Granted now if you stuck a Jim Lee Cyclops, Liefeld Cable, Blue Beast, Psylocke, etc in there you'd have more interest from collectors jumping in late. This is why the Spider-Man retro wave is almost entirely new characters and sculpts because that was what the retailers told them they required to carry it. The Peter Parker still ended up peg warming a bit but for the most part that wave sold well. Personally I hope with this new Vulcan body we get a new improved Jim Lee Cyclops on it soon. Hopefully we will get a new Steve Rogers/Bruce Wayne/Frank Castle sized body soon too. I know I will buy a new Moon Knight on that body immediately.

I think Marvel Legends is long overdue for putting out a modern red Marco Checchetto-style Daredevil. The Vulcan body might be a great fit for that. I was really hoping for new David Aja-style Clint and Kate Hawkeyes today, but I suspect they might still come out with them, since the show premieres in a month. My best friend has Pulse Premium, so he ordered the deluxe Zartan for me (luckily for me, he has the first Classified Zartan and likes it better). Then I eventually preordered my Storm Shadow from Amazon, which was what I hoped for. Since I had gift cards and free Prime shipping, it will end up being free. The only other thing I saw today that I wanted was the upcoming Walgreens Baron Zemo. Between actually having the Secret Wars figure as a kid, being introduced to him in the comics in Roger Stern's Avengers Mansion Under Siege storyline, and becoming a huge fan of the Thunderbolts and Daniel Bruhl's MCU Zemo much later, I have to have him, and I'm glad I held out for this '80s/'90s version.

Managed to grab one of all the Joes this time on Pulse, and then managed to order an extra BAT and Viper on Target. Only "army building" pairs of troops. It's funny, I had reupped my Pulse Premium on a whim just yesterday. Did the math and between those, the X-cartoon figures, Cobb, Animated Venom, the Tatooine set, and the Cap and Iron Man, it already paid for itself.

 I FINALLY FINISHED A CUSTOM ACTION FIGURE 56K NO  This is a one-of-a-kind custom which I made at the request of longtime friend-of-the-thread Xenomrph. The request was for Velocity, from Cyberforce, specifically as drawn by Kenneth Rocafort in her 2010 solo miniseries.  The base was a Marvel Legends figure, but I resculpted the entire body with a bunch of epoxy putty, and made an entirely new head from scratch. By the time I started painting, there was almost nothing visible of the original figure. Basically every detail you see was hand-sculpted. Part of the reason for the custom head is that she's generally drawn very petite, so I needed to size up her head for the body proportions to look right. In the end she's probably closer in scale to a 6.5" or 7" figure. To make the deep plunging V-neck work with the mid-torso articulation, I built it as a downward protrusion attached to the upper part. This helps to hide the joint and to preserve the unusual lines of her costume.  I have been working on this for three and a half years. The paint job alone took months. I don't do a lot of commission work and I probably won't do something this elaborate again; I only accepted this particular job because I genuinely liked the idea and knew I would have a lot of fun with the project. She's a really cool-looking character. Check out those funky shoes! Those took a lot of work!      Her body has a layer of color-shift paint that makes highlights more yellow and lowlights more blue; it's subtle but it gives her a really cool shine that changes in different light. There's also a gradient effect with a darker green at her ankles. Recommended listening while you look at the rest of these pictures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hW1EqdzCDI               I took tons and tons of photos because I'm going to miss this figure when she's gone...  A bit of stray packaging material makes for a good impromptu sci-fi background:    I was single when I started this project and now I'm married with a baby and a house. See you guys in another three and a half years when I get something else done!
