I was highly tempted to buy a Faker today in the He Man line. First "He Man" toy I seen.

An Ounce of Gold posted:Speaking of, my gf surprised me with the Rerelease Origins He-Man and original Origins Skeletor. She got it exactly right. I have the full sword and good (bad) hair He-Man and the cackling open mouth Skeletor. There's something about that rerelease Skeletor's little smirk that drives me nuts. I'm glad she got the cooler looking one (imo). She went through all the work to get the exact right versions? She's a keeper.

I use to believe the whole ex car dealer was the stupidest thing and there was no way such a person could create something like Cobra. Then the previous four/five years happened and suddenly I get it.

Along with many others, he buried quite a few characters in there, including his son! Yeah he kinda got over the kid after being shot for wanting to have a life with him. Billy got out though, so did Zartan and Firefly. The rest....they did not die gently.

The Alley Viper and BAT is popping up at some sites like BBTS, they look good! I so want the BAT and the Alley Viper despite the 90's colors is still pretty cool too. Going to Ghostbusters for a moment.......how is it there are toys and yet no slime! Seriously, did slime fall out of favor? Who didn't love the stuff. No slime with a ghostbuster line seems so wrong.

It seems so odd there is nothing for Ghostbusters. Is there any slime that is like the old kinds in the 80's or is it all something different now.

The Skystriker has made over 11,000 now so it's done, probably didn't hurt it appears that three Cobra figures were added and some Cobra branded stickers you can put on it. The three figures being Cobra Commander, and two Cobra troops.

Nerd Of Prey posted:My lady collects Hello Kitty stuff, and my Xmas gift for her this year is this Bandai Gundam/Hello Kitty mash-up model kit. I built it in secret, came up with my own paint scheme, and spent many days weathering and detailing it. Though Kitty is only about 4.5" tall, I wanted to convey as much of a sense of giganticness as I could, so I covered it in dozens of really tiny decals and fine paint details. I actually used the Japanese copyright text off the decal sheet (also by Bandai, sold separately) to accent a few places with random text. I also used a few tiny graffiti decals made for model trains, including one that's a crude drawing of a cat with a bow on its head, and one that says "Jesus rocks" which I thought was a nice Christmassy touch. And then of course I created the miniature environment for it, building up the "landing pad" from the included apple-shaped display stand along with some sprues from the model kit and other random junk. The trees and tiny grasses are store-bought miniature items, the ground underneath is papier mache with some acrylics and craft-store fake water, and lastly the teeny-tiny person (about half an inch tall) was hand-sculpted from modeling putty. The heart-shaped wooden base was from Michaels, finished with acrylic paint. (It probably needed a lot more sanding, but I was pressed for time.) Kitty is actually highly articulated and has several removable accessories. I see this and think:

Rhyno posted:I LOVE when people go so hard on army building. It's going to be extremely hard to not buy every Origins Horde Trooper I ever see in stores. I typically buy one of a figure that I enjoy, though I have bought more than one to beef things up. 1. Zentraedi Battle pods, came with two each having an extra missile option. They were to go with the Glaug aka better known as the Maruader. Boss with two grunts. 2. Aliens, three. Also Alien Queen, Aliens need Aliens damnit. 3. After finally getting the Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge I always wanted there was something missing. Sweeps. So I got two of them. I know that's not a true army for most but it satisfies my desire for having some troops with the big guys.

The ones I got are a number of years old now and the place I got it is out of business. I even got a SLDF-1, the non lighting version. If you follow any Japanese sites that sell toys you are bound to see such things pop up again, Macross never goes away.

To add to the whole Gaiman/McFarlane situation likely was made worse by a letter that got published and answered in the second or third issue of Angela mini. During this time McFarlane was pushing his toyline, so in the first issue of Angela they showed workers putting the figures together. These people showed all the joy of putting a figure together, as in not much. This made one reader curious, and he wrote a letter which ended up getting published. He asked about the conditions and if McFarlane was running a sweatshop or not. The person responding which I took to be Gaiman then responded by asking Todd if that was the case, not that we'd get an answer. That always stuck out to me and was amazed it got published.

Great job on the ribbons, I always associated those with her, it was sort of her trademark. It's weird when she shows and doesn't have them. I rather like the original Angela figure, yeah, I got it way back when among several other Spawn figures. Sadly, the staff broke. And yes, it was party Angela.

You did a fantastic job, make no doubt about that. I'm always impressed by the jobs people like yourself do improving a figure, so definitely not complaining about it. I remember seeing the pictures of the figures before they came out as well, people were going nuts. At the time, the figures were said to be the best ever. That's how they were promoted anyways.
