Someone literally quoted me and posted an “it stinks” gif after I made it clear I wasn’t enjoying the “ribbing.”

I’ll post a cool figure and someone will say “lol the likeness sucks” anyways, during a clearance sale online, I decided to pick up some of the newer Iguanas core class transformers for like 6 bucks a pop. so now I've got iguanas riding iguanas.

I though goons were supposed to have meltdowns in May, not June, tsk. Those stands are pretty normal though, that cool TOA android lady I got earlier in the year came with something similar, complete with a magnet on the bottom.

With the lightsaber at only 25%. I've long considered Star Wars fans some of the most capitve so to speak. Like they have collectors Stockholm syndrome. After these Haslab bombs I'm going to have to rethink that stance.

The most I've heard positive about Reva, from the outskirts, are people being glad that she apparently eats poo poo. They really banked on her being THE break out character of ObiWan and it...doesn't seem like that happened.

That’s probably part of it, but I also think it’s partly the selection of projects they’ve done for Star Wars. No one was really calling for a Black Series Rancor or an Inquisitor Lightsaber, and the price point doesn’t help. I can think of half a dozen mid-range $200ish projects they could do instead that people have been talking about for years that would absolutely secure funding in a week or so.

The Rancor was one shot in the foot after another. They absolutely could have made the Rancor sell out in a week tops but they just did the dumbest loving poo poo in the world with that whole thing. Also I will note, I know nothing much about Reva beyond background static, but it's not just the Usual Gross Suspects who aren't enthused with her. I've not heard *anything* positive about her even from groups I'd otherwise consider sane. It's such a weird call when you *have* the Grand Inquisitor right there, who is a fan favorite going back years.

I heard some criticism that Reva didn’t really become an interesting character until the last couple episodes when they explained her history and motivations; she was a pretty one-note bad guy up until that moment, and I think that’s fair. I think once more people finish the series they will have more respect for her. I mean unless they’re just shitheads and/or just don’t like the show. But I’m not surprised the lightsaber isn’t a huge hit.

It should’ve just been the “Inquisitor’s Saber” instead of attaching someone specific. They all look exactly the same to me, but then again I’m not a turbo nerd who pays attention to the smallest detail.

Too lazy to post a pic, but Amazon finally shipped that TVC Book of Boba Fett… Boba Fett and it looks great. The Temuera Morrison likeness is fantastic considering the scale. Still not sure it was worth double the normal TVC price though.

But I’m not surprised the lightsaber isn’t a huge hit. I actually liked Reva. She's brash, and headstrong, and a bit reckless. She's not stoic like other Dark Side bad guys(though there's a solid chance I'm forgetting someone from the various cartoons.) First few episode she just kind of acts out of character for a main Star Wars villain, with some not great dialogue.

Speaking of fascism toys, I’ve never understood the people who collect figures of real-world soldiers/military. I love a good Stormtrooper from Star Wars, but no way in hell wold I have a similar figure of a real life SS Officer. I have a kick rear end Red Skull, but uh uh no way would I buy a Hitler. Fake fascist character = cool. Real fascist = bogus.

I dunno anything about this guy but he looks like he's so loving jazzed for his new jetski  I HATED Reva as a character. The actress was loving amazing when they let her have actual lines instead of regular villain patter. I was happy she got a somewhat good ending, but holy loving poo poo I hated that bitch. That actress is awesome and I hope they get her to play the sister in the next black panther film. Rumor has it the other lady is some anti vax weirdo.

Jesus Christ, this thread really went to poo poo today, huh? Reva was a great character, the actress ruled and the saber hasn’t funded because holy poo poo it’s $500 for a saber for a brand new character people haven’t even had two months to grow attached to. She also throws it away at the end, so it’s likely to never appear again. The Razorcrest makes more sense as a Haslab regardless, but it had an entire season and a half to get people to like it.

10 Beers posted:Yeah. I've got some Darth Vader stuff, but I don't even really want Red Skull. Totally understandable. I'm a huge Cap fan and a Cap display isn't complete without his nemesis. Couldn't a lot popular villans (from the poo poo we buy) be called fascist in some way or another? I try to make a point to not let real world BS creep into my fun stuff. What's Optimus without Megatron? GI Joe needs Cobra Commander. Vader is a must in a Star Wars collection. How many X-Men villains could be called fascist? Collecting would be a lot less fun for me without the villains.

I can understand it if you are a historical collector, but in general? Nope. I wanted to find a sixth scale nazi flag to wrap the scaled spear of Longinus in for the movie version of Constantine I have, but I couldn't find a match anywhere. Closest match was on a website that I'm pretty sure if I ordered from it I'd be on a list somewhere. They seemed a BIT too into the Nazi stuff. Glorifying villains is one thing for fiction. Everyone loves Loki. Glorifying terrorists or nazis from real life? Completely different story and a very big warning sign.

I don’t think I’d buy a Skull fig of it had an actual swastika on it. I can remain in fantasy land with the hydra logo. I don’t like seeing it in my fun fiction, when Frank Miller gave that one character swastika boobs, that was way too much.

There is one Hitler/swastika bearer that I would welcome into a collection with a caveat  The caveat is that he must be Rider Kicked or Rider Punched while on the shelf.

Even that cartoonish Hitler figure I’ve seen posted skeeves me out. Sure it’s a ridiculous caricature with exaggerated expressions but there’s still something unsavory about owning a tiny version of an actual Nazi.
