After much trawling the net, I think I've managed to get an order in for Bandai's Qui-Gon reissue. Now if they could just reissue RotS Obi-Wan too (and in enough numbers that there isn't a goddamn mad scramble to find one)... I don't get Bandai at all, it feels like they do such small runs plus it's nuts how they've done pretty much every film *but* Empire - I'd snap up the Bespin versions of everyone in a heartbeat, yo.

Wow, I had actually forgotten I preorderd Mole Rat and the Sniper. Apparently they're out for delivery today.

Did anybody want that Platinum Sinestro from McFarlane, the one in the mostly GL outfit? Happened to find one at Target and grabbed it in case somebody wanted it.

Missed the preorders for all the SHF Ep 1 figures, dammit. Hopefully Amazon and BBTS get them.

Oh boy, I got what I expected out of Walmart on the two Joes that came today. Both just in boxes with zero padding or protection. Mole Rat looks like somebody kneed on the middle of the outer box at some point in his journey too. Alley Viper box also scuffed but not so much I care to try to return it. Every single one of his guns has about a 20 degree angle hook to them though. What's the current go to for safely fixing them? Really excited to see how Shooter is when she gets here tomorrow or Saturday.

What's the current go to for safely fixing them? I watched a video on repairing bent accessories the other day. Basically, boil a small amount of water and pour it into a flat vessel. Get some cold water ready in another flat-bottomed vessel (ie, a pan lol) next to it. Drop the accessory in for a quick twenty-count (as in 1-2-3... 20), fish it out, and drop it into the cold water. I used chopsticks for this operation lol. I was surprised to see that plastic has a "memory" of its original shape. Saved a bunch of my joe accessories this way.

Give one as a gift for Christmas to a family member with the secret intent to use it to fix toys. They will never suspect a thing. Lots of folks getting various figures today, some only getting one or two and oddly enough in different packages. Many people still don't got their HISS email either. I have yet to receive mine. Maybe the 28,000 or so pre orders broke Hasbros email sender haha

Well unfortunately I'm a bald dude who lives alone so the need for one has been gone for at least 15 years. For that boiling water technique you didn't need to do any bending though?

Canopus250 posted:For that boiling water technique you didn't need to do any bending though? Not especially, or at least, I didn't. The form returned more or less on its own after a brief dip in the freshly-boiled water. I recommended a flat container for the water cause I used rounded bowls initially and the accessory ended up with a slight bend as a result. I'll have to use my partner's hairdryer next time, might be more efficient.

I bought 2 clear tubes to try 2 different methods for the ooze. First, coating the inside with glow in the dark paint. The second one I will seal the ends with Acrifix and mix up a more transparent ooze with clear shampoo and food dye. I’ll decide then which one to use. Tonight I made up the painted one. It’s not fully dry yet and the glow effect isn’t at its fullest potential, but I do like it.

Sideshow did the 90s Cyclops in their line a few years ago. Like any of Sideshow’s own 1/6 stuff it was solid enough but shouldn’t have been priced at Hot Toys level.

Speaking of Sideshow, they’re doing a pretty decent deal on some Hot Toys, 35% off: https://www.sideshow.com/code/amazingdeal?fbclid=IwAR09d6TwSEVoWo_GKftchaeEAEL0Kwu4iGVFZ10ZOtWtuLJASqhTbotQlII I think the big one of hot here is the die cast MK1 Iron Man
