I picked up a few of the Saurozoic Warriors from Boss Fight recently. Really fun figures and I just really enjoy the vibe. It feels like something that could have existed when I was a kid. My daughter (who is 5) just assumed I had gotten some Ninja Turtles figures.

Unfortunately, on one of these it has an arm strap with knife sheath. The sheath detached from the strap. The individual parts aren't broken. Rather whatever they used to bond the parts between the socket and peg on the two parts looks like it wasn't enough. The harness/strap/sheath parts are all pretty soft flexible plastic and I've no idea what type of glue to use here. Does anyone have any advice for what to use?

For hard plastics I usually just use a tiny dab of gorilla glue but I'm wary of using something like that on flexible parts.

Krazy Glue or something similar is usually great at bonding rubbery plastic. It’s not super flexible itself but if you just use a little dot of it, the pieces should bond pretty strongly.


I got a ship notice today that Mattel is sending my second-run Wun-dar, which I ordered so long ago I had all but forgotten it. Just got my Grizzlor last week, so it’s nice I can stop wondering if those orders were even real.

The Snow Serpent has popped up in various stories for order and almost all are sold out.

Like I said, people are ordering these up to 8 which is nutty.

Can agree that his head is a tad too small, but with Timber on top it helps fill it out.

This was a brutal month for my wallet.



Haven't bought a Mezco figure in a while. Pretty good overall, decent articulation, good deal of accesories (The pumpkins are nice but pretty unnecesary, tho). I originally didn't like the coveralls color, but it has grown on me after a couple of days. Also got one of those MMMToys Dioramas

This thing is massive and heavy as hell. Now I need more of those Fromsoft figures.

I saw a Hush Batman on the pegs, and it was on sale. I had decided to pass in favor of the Knightfall one, but it does look nice. Pretty good head sculpt from ol' Todd.



Oh and Mattel Creations shipped my Vykron! Now in a week and a half I will have it. I bought two discounted he-man figs so I can have all 3 display options.

Saw a Figuarts final form Frieza at Target yesterday, so he might be getting a retail release for all you Goku collectors.

Trying to find that red bandana Turtle four pack is going to be a battle. Feel like that one probably flew off the shelves like that Usagi Yojimbo.

They're great figures too. I love 'em.

Though fyi all of them had stuck bicep joints. I had to heat them and pop the arms off to make them work. Those were the only joints like that.

My Target added a huge end cap of TMNT in the toys section today including the new NECA stuff, which I thought had to be separate but I guess not anymore?

Anyway, the Mutant Mayhem stuff looks really good and I grabbed the two GITD packs. The prices on all of them are actually decent too, which is a nice change of pace.

Also, on the MOTU front, my Masterverse Vykron shipped!

Spoke too soon on that TMNT four-pack. Ordered for in-store pickup and then later got an email saying it was out of stock and now it's no longer available to ship either. Oh well, I have like negative space for new figures at the moment so perhaps it's for the best

The store I went to had them in stock, but not stocked. They're just chilling in the back somewhere. Nice selection of Gundams though. First time seeing Sandrock in a store.

They say they have improved hands, which I hope means it's possible to swap hands without feeling you're going to utterly destroy the figure. Which would be nice going forward.

Also, who ordered more Ultramarines?

Apparently the V1 of the dudes with the gold eagle faceplate is their best selling figure / has the highest aftermarket demand. Guessing that was part of the choice for this set of blue doods.

Went to target to scope out the new turtles and while the website said they had em they didnt have any out.

Regardless looking at them online and the other characters... there hasn't been any pictures of Cynthia Utrom or a toy for her. Are they holding back for a reveal or are we not getting a Krang from this movie? I want my utroms.

My Target did have them out and I picked up the bus with 6 figures (the turtles, April and Bebop). I however did not see much for indvidual figures. Leo and Raph (with Mike's card backing funnily enough) for a few different varieties of figure and no one else.

Uncle Seymour wants you to eat your beans.
It's partially distorted at the moment, I imagine, because a new edition of the game just dropped and there's more demand than usual for some of the more commonly desired items.

That said, GW can go eat farts for how much they charge for little plastic boys when they can't even push out a complete version of the game at launch.

The fuckin little plastic boys don't even come assembled.
