Honestly if Mattel made Netflix PoP action figures before 1985 PoP there'd be handwritten letters... as it is the Origins community, or those with any wit, are demanding '85 PoP gets it's due there. The good news is there's every indication Mattel see MOTU as an evergreen line now like Hasbro does with Legends, certainly CGI He-Man got an Origins-style figure so there's some sorta precedent. They'll get there eventually!
It looks like I might be getting to make some dioramas for my local museum, this is basically the pitch piece and if they like it enough I’ll get to make more….. Really big deal to me and something I’m super stoked if I can make it happen. Still loads of work left to do, but despite a few screwups today because of real life issues wearing me thin I think I saved it….
Universal Credit - "Why do we keep getting emails from a toy company? And even we're better at distribution!"
Nabbed a £20 Happy Hogan & Mk21 Iron Man set from ebay for £20 only to find SAF selling for the same price. No real difference in cost but we all like to support our smaller e-tailers when we can Just need to decide what to do with a completely gold Iron Man figure Oh and I also need a Black Series Trapper Wolf Dave Filoni figure to go with the Favreau and Lucas figures
Reached the second stage of “wait and see” as never used this technique before, but apparently the mod podge dries with a clear rippled effect…..
Started a Pile of Loot at BBTS with safety orders for, Origins Snake Men 4-pack, Skeleton Warriors 2-pack x2 & Slamurai Masterverse Webstor If The Whole Shebang get the 2 Skeleton Warrior sets I already paid for I'll probably keep 'em because it'd be cool to have 4 of each colour. This greatly depends on Mattel's distribution chimps who're already waves behind on what's been shipped to the EU. Waiting on, Restock of UE wave 15 Brock Lesnar at The Whole Shebang although I'm tempted to ask if I can switch the order to Razor Ramon from wave 16 as now a 2002 version of Brock is confirmed for the UE line I'm not as arsed about a current one. Masterverse Stratos with The Toy Hunter. Masterverse Man E Faces from Bezos......estimated arrival on Monday! Newage Artfire.....posted from Show Z Store yesterday so probably be the latter stages of next week. @4249david & @SharkyMcShark, Fresh bids apparently going in by 9pm today. The Qatari lad has to be favourite due to the depth of his pockets but I wouldn't be surprised if the Glazers just sell a chunk of the club to a hedge fund to raise funds, most of which they'll pocket.
Mando season 3 continues to be a series of scenes based on merchandising decisions. It wasn't until episode 3 that you got a hint of a plot that episode 4 didn't even continue. This season has studio interference written through it like a stick of rock.
Just watched the new trailer for the mmpr 30th anniversary special. I'm hyped, I'm excited, but I also think it definitely gonna have me crying. Can't wait! I even heard someone say Ron Wasserman is doing the scoring, which if true, would be the ultimate level of epicness! And considering all the others they got back, it wouldn't surprise me as his score made the show the epicness it was.
Typical. The one time I decide to watch Netflix on my computer and not my phone and it's throwing a fit claiming my browser is not supported/an old version. I'm using the most recent version of Firefox dammit! Oh well, at least I can still watch it on my phone via their own app. Edit: Found a fix. Basically new Firefox feature not playing nice with Netflix. Solution here if anyone else is in the same position: https://support.ipvanish.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044261973-Netflix-not-working-in-Firefox
Bit of a hectic week, but this is where I got to, and snapped a few quick pics when I just got in, loads left to do but think it’s taking shape
