And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

that honestly looks markedly better than the Morbius CGI face from the movie

Truth. When this hits the eventual deep discuount, this would look nice in a Spider-Man display.

Someone on twitter pointed out that this is probably some contractual obligation from Sony for the Spidey license.

"The entire history of this incarnation is one of temporal orbits, retcons, paradoxes, parallel time lines, reiterations, and divergences. How anyone can make head or tail of all this chaos, I don't know."

Are Playmates using the original 90s moulds for the accessories?! Riker’s tricorder has the original bump on the back it needed so he could hold it because of the weird hand they gave the figure.

I sold about 30-40 homies on ebay for about 500 bucks in like 2004ish. That's the closest I've ever felt to winning the lottery.

The Wikipedia page says homies are still being produced but I can find no evidence of that. It's actually surprisingly hard to find solid Homies info online

Mindbender and Boba are showing back up at Pulse. Spidey is going in and out of stock at Walmart.

Also: I have done something to zoom in on the forum and I can't figure out how to go back to normal. Anyone know how to go back to "i'm not blind mode" on desktop?

Thanks for the heads-up on Spider-Man! I was going to give up after that initial 60-second-sellout but I was able to get it added to my cart and ordered after just about 4 minutes of clicking their pre-order button every 20 seconds or so

Same, but mine went thru only after adding it from the search instead of the actual product page. Weird. I'm also lying to myself be saying this is the LAST Spidey that I'll ever really need.

the only NECA figures I've ever had were the Team Fortress 2 figures and those literally stank up my entire house with the horrible chemical and paint stench they expelled for literal days. do they still have that problem

also the figures themselves weren't amazing build quality either, but that was far below the awful smell in immediate annoyance

Their previews night case was obscene, so many obscure characters showcased with huge nods to the old Playmates figures. I don't have a huge connection to the characters beyond the main cast but if I did I'd either be insanely excited over all the new figures or insanely depressed due to the anxiety over getting therm all.

I loved the Archie comics so guys like Rey Fillet are nostalgic for me. Luckily Super7 already had a Rey in the works. The mirage cast is tempting, along with that Archie Slash since S7 might not make a specific Archie version.

No, Kol Dar still hasn't shipped for some reason.

Super 7 has already shown their Slash. Brian has mentioned in the past that he communicates with NECA / Randy, and they have a handshake agreement not to step on each others toes, so I'd bet on them not doing Archie stuff any time soon.

I’m all for companies reducing plastic wherever possible, but mass market figures always have the occasional dodgy paint applications or defects and turning them into blind boxes seems like it’s gonna backfire.

Or imagine the frequent scenario where a scumbag swaps a rarer figure for a common one and then returns it to the store to be restocked. Except now whatever unlucky soul grabs the return off the shelf won’t be able to tell it’s a swap until after they buy it.

I recently found a transformers Blitzwing in store and it had the new windowless packaging. I cut that sucker right open in the aisle to make sure it hadn't been swapped. I suppose I will have to do that with other toys in the future.

Yeah, I was just telling my wife that I was wrapping up NECA turtles and sticking with Super7, but these Archie figs match up so well I'll most definitely be adding them to my toon stuff. Specifically that Slash and Rey Fillet. Both of those look superb!

Mock it, but I already preordered it. I can't wait to throw some Mythic Legions inside that cube to be devoured. It has a stand inside to simulate them floating as well, and Pixel Dan's video on it actually looks pretty good. All of the accessories it comes with are also 6" scale, so you can use them as regular accessories too.
