Let a man wank and he’ll be a wanker for a day, let a man be a fascist and he’ll be a wanker for life.
@Xaran Alamas Would you happen to have the Ursa Major BAF piece from the Marvel Legends Ironheart figure? And if so, would you like to swap it for this fine lady?
@bcm77 Had a moment of clarity (very infrequent) on seeing a Legends Black Widow I bought for the effects pieces... snipped half the bracelet off and voila!
Thank you for the summary regarding naming conventions and tiers - really helpful. @Siege Fan - thank you, too. Don’t have a Which? account myself; used my MIL’s for years before it was cancelled.
I do have it and while the idea of trying to frankenstein a BAF from the parts I have is tempting, so is that figure. I might take you up on this but I want to research the figure a little first, I'll get back to you!
I do hope they do more KOTOR/Old Republic figures in Black Series, having just nabbed a Vintage Shae Vizla from Kapow I realized I would love to get a 6" version as well, we could get a Satele Shan and Malgus to complement the upcoming Bastila Shan and Malak. Plus plenty of scope for Old Republic trooper variants
How well was the new MOTU cartoon received? I haven't seen it at all but the toy line looks to have bombed. Spoke to my mum this morning who informed me that the branch of TKMaxx she works at had reduced Sorceress figures to £1.10 this morning - and they still have 3 left. She picked 1 up for me last week at £2.50 although knowing it wasn't what I collected. My 2 youngest show an interest in my MOTU figures so she will probably find a way into my daughters dolly drawer. With the figures hitting such hard discount, I imagine MOTU may be coming to an end?
For a long time the only place really selling them was Smyths at £15 a figure, so they bombed. While I own most of them now it's only because so many went on discount. And even I'd tell you they're weirdly articulated (or just not). They must do a decent trade in America though, there's more on the way. The Entertainer has a bunch of older ones at £6. MOTU in the UK is a needless shitshow because Mattel is. But the stuff shifts, Amazon continually sells out and restocks Origins and Masterverse while our other etailers can't seem to get the quantities needed. Folks are buying £30 Origins deluxes out of desperation. It's fucking Mattel, maaaannn. It's their third biggest brand after all these decades and they're still messing it up.
@Xaran Alamas, Excellent thought! @Siege Fan, Nice work with the effect piece! Masterverse Pig Head looks amazing....so of course it'll be an Amazon Exclusive and available for about 5 seconds if we're lucky! Beast Man in that pic has a repainted head which looks great and it's also a reminder Masterverse Grizzlor is needed....but not until the 2nd wave of the Mattel Creations one has shipped! @we_are_forest, Pretty much what @Siege Fan said. BTW I thought your lads deserved a goal the other night, a couple of players also gave Casemiro one of his harder matches so far which is no mean feat!
For those of us with GI Joe Classified Dusty and are annoyed with his floppy, loose helmet...I just saw a great fix on Fwoosh's review, just put the smaller goggles on his head, either covering his eyes or backwards if you dont want to see them...then plonk the helmet down and it sits nice and low and doesnt move on its own...perfect
That's far too sensible. Ordering after market replacements from half way across the one with very expensive shipping is the way to go.
