The figure is much more generous than the real deal by far, the leg comment is accurate however. If the Hasbro version is not to people's liking, there are two Sgt. Slaughters from Action Force you can also buy. They're very good from what I heard and look good as can be. Also, some guy called Sgt. Slammer is around.

The Action Force Slaughter is a great figure but the Classified is a dead ringer for the cartoon look. I love them both. https://twitter.com/preterniadotcom/status/1542605794990071808?s=46&t=J1vqwP9zq7h-hy9AZqHQ-g

I like him. Unlike a lot of other Classifieds he has a lot of spare hands. The newer figs really need more swap out parts.

I had fun picking characters to go with my kimono bodies. I have two red ones still because they were blind boxes and I expected one to be pink since I was the only person buying them from the one box at the store.

Apparently bigger than the previous one too! I already have that so I’m good.

The Series 2 Magneto is on the Series 1 Iron Man body and is god awful. Wait for the Cartoon one if you need a Legends, get the Mafex or if you are desperate for something NOW get the Marvel Select from a few years ago. It’s a little bigger than Legends but you can fudge it easy enough.

I didn't mind the old Toy Biz Magneto when I had him back in the day but that was, crap, 20 years ago. But if he's so bad, someone surely has him and wants to unload him to me for an insulting low offer! I will probably wait for a VHS one otherwise. No I'm not suffering for selling a complete Marvel Legends collection 10 years ago stop asking!

I swore I would stick with NECA Godzillas because of their price to quality ratio and then my dad got me a SH Monsterarts Godzilla from the Legendary movie series and it's been downhill from there. Now I have the Singular Point Godzilla sitting on a shelf and Singular Point Jet Jaguar and the stupid expensive Hedorah they released in my BBTS pile of loot. Now I'm eyeing this drat Kiryu and new Shin Godzilla figure they're making.

I'll also be the pleb and that says they all look the same to me too, like they're doing the same character 50 times over and over again, kinda like how McFarlane has 30 million different Batmans and Superman iterations. Granted Hasbro does this too with Iron Man, Captain America and Wolverine in each wave they do but that's a tradition started by ToyBiz 30 years ago.

I’d probably but those MOTU guys at 25 bucks. 50 is too much for what they are. I’m not sure if it was just my store or if all Targets are, but I bought that kickass Hammond Collection T-Rex this morning for 25 bucks. I was hoping to get a deal on it and it finally happened. Edit: I see that you can get those motu skins in the game. That’s neat for people who play. Joe Fisto fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Nov 3, 2022 |

Kinda sorta relevant, Walmart had a sale on Walmart+ until midnight ET. It includes Early Access to black Friday sales, other sales, free shipping, free delivery, scan and go shopping in the stores, gas discounts at the Walmart gas stations, I think there's even as paramount+ sub in there. $49 bucks for the year. I used it last year to buy a ps5 and get free delivery on food from the local store. Stupid_Sexy_Flander fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Nov 3, 2022 |

Because it's the 40th anniversary of one of the most successful toy lines ever. And Mattel knows this was the perfect time to pander directly to the people who were kids when the original came out and Origins stokes that nostalgia.

CelticPredator posted:It’s been going for a few years haha Yeah it doesn't seem like a new thing though I feel like the pandemic kicked nostalgia collecting into hyperdrive in general. My kids and I got into collecting Pokemon cards in early 2018 and at that time they were insanely cheap to the point where you could find packs on clearance for something obscene like $2.50 each. Those same packs today now go for $20+ each, some even hitting $50+. Anything booster box made 2016 and earlier can go for thousands.

I’m down. MOTU, Transformers and TMNT were everything to kid me. It’s a good time to be an adult with some adult money. For real though, it’s much easier in out economy to buy some tiny men for fun, my parents were able to buy project cars, and motorcycles and boats with less money when they were my age. I think that’s why the nostalgia market is what it is, since most of us adults don’t have boat money. Joe Fisto fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Nov 3, 2022 |

There isn’t actually that much He-Man stuff being made if you compare it to Marvel, Star Wars, Transformers, GI Joe, or like any big pop culture franchise. I think it might all be discussed more frequently in this particular thread and in certain collector circles because we have some hardcore fans here, and it’s also a case where the toys were the main thing. The various cartoons, movies, comics just sort of existed for the sake of the toys. If you’re somebody with a big interest in toys as an art form or as a cultural thing in and of themselves, MOTU has a really outsized significance compared to a lot of other things that get talked about in this context. If you compare it to like, Stranger Things, that has a ton of merchandise out there right now but it’s because people like the TV show, the TV show is the thing you’re a fan of if you’re into Stranger Things, and when they make toys it’s just like “oh that’s nice” but it’s not the entire point of it.

I think what makes MOTU notable is that 2 years ago there was next to nothing. Just Pops and Reaction figures. Now there are four ongoing lines that you can buy at brick and mortar stores.

I already have three more things in my pol, i'm tempted to grab the last T-Cats I need and ship again. But I'm kind of expecting the next wave of Masterverse to drop since the Origins wave came super early. And I figure King Hiss and T-Punch He-Man are gonna drop soon too. Edit: man, BBTS has MV Sun-Man and Target doesn't even have a date on it yet. Edit: so tomorrow the Shoguns drop, 1500 He-Man, 500 Faker. $300 each. I want the He-Man, can live without Faker. Probably shouldn't have started buying all these Turtles and Thundercats. Rhyno fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Nov 3, 2022 |
