Got my MOTU Krang today, he's a tall boy. Reminds me I need a Krang in robot suit for my main TMNT shelve(s).


I found mine in store and overall I think he's great... Except for the Krang part. I know he's just a brain with arms but this is Masters of the Universe, they could have given him buff brain arms. If you look at him without the android body you would have no idea what line he's from or that he's in a crossover at all.

A whole accessory pack that’s just ponchos.

Actually, Hot Toys should do follow up accessory packs. I shouldn’t need to buy a whole other Malibu Stacy just for her new hat.

Once for Iron Man accessories, and then IG-12 comes with a bunch of parts for other figures except you can't buy just that.

Finally got my Classified HMS set with Techno-Viper. Looks awesome.

Only problem is I need to completely redo my shelves, I'm out of space!

I can't be the only one with boxes of stuff just waiting to be put out. A lot of it stuff was super excited to get but that means something else has to be packed up and put away.

In this case a lot of stuff would need to be.

Jealous of those with cases and lots of shelving.

Has anybody spotted those blind box Space Marines at Target yet? I’ve been looking but the various toy and nerd sections at my local target are always a mess and I’m not sure which area they’re supposed to be stocked in.

Either the collectibles back isle by the entertainment or by the Pokémon.

I think I read that they’re not very good anyway? And they don’t even provide the cables for them.

I forget what the 3rd party sabers are called. CCFL or something? They’re much brighter.

There's a person in the UK who makes custom ones but it's like $100 for one. And while I wouldn't always use em - hell I never turn the ones i have on now - I just would like the option too.

Not sure if anyone else here bought the Sentinel Ronin Warriors, but after announcing that they would be cancelling the line after completing the core team, Sentinel is releasing Anubis: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/276259

I am extremely pumped for this. Ronin Warriors was my anime gateway show and I thought the chances we'd get the warlords was nil at this point. Here's to hoping we get the remaining 3 along with Talpa and White Blaze.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that's cool. This line was one I kept wishing I'd boughten in on and always felt like I missed the boat to actually complete the team, so I just never tried. Still feeling major FOMO seeing this listing now.

I finally finished the last bits of my Battlestar Galactica (2003) Viper pilot’s flight suit. This was my first time using a sewing machine, and this green fabric is very tricky, being both stretchy and slippery. I had a very limited quantity so I had to be really careful and absolutely certain about the pattern before cutting it out. I also sewed a cotton blend liner inside it for thickness and comfort. The flak vest I also scratch made from leather, suede, neoprene, and a few other materials.

A couple of details, the gloves, patches, flight pins, pre-flight checklist, are all screen used originals. The sidearm and helmet are really accurate replicas.

A couple of other parts, like some of the gun belt, wristwatch, shoes, are neither screen used nor replicas, but made from the same original source parts as the originals.

I would think you'd see the box display they come in still there, I usually see the empties for the Godzilla ones etc, which I think is them being lazy about cleaning the shelves but I give them the benefit of the doubt on and say its to be a placeholder.

Found nothing new today but they did have the animated series Batcycle for 8.99 on clearance. So glad I waited.

I was very sternly told that scalping isn't a thing anymore in a GI Joe Classified group. I just laughed.

BBTS and EE have them all but Sage. Not sure why he would be missing. He was the 2nd release so maybe he hasn't gotten a reissue yet. I know Ryo got one.

Also, that's one fine PoL!

People are very weird about most of the women Joes full stop. Hell, wasn't there was a guy a while back who wouldn't shut up about how 'wrong' Lady Jaye was and was dead set on cannibalising a custom together? Like, what the hell, Jaye's fine. I didn't/don't get it at all, just bizarre behaviour.

Like Sentinel Red said, there were people complaining about Lady Jaye when there wasn't any real issue.

It's more people not upset it's not how they perceive a woman should look exactly.

Good choice on the pop up parade Morrigan and SH Fig Chun-Li! I got both of those recently. The Morrigan is insanely good. It’s also very big.

The SH Chun is awesome too. Really solid fig and fun to pose. Here she is with a coupla Big G’s

I am in general principle opposed to Funko Pops but I do kind of want to get a pair of Crow and Tom Servo just because I want some kind of figures of them and haven’t ever found anything else.
