    Totally agree, I think to go deeper they'll need to start doing Filmation versions of characters already out there so you can do NA and more 200X alongside. There are absolute dickheads who won't touch NA even though the figures would be all kinds of fun.

    Any iteration of She-Ra will be rubber and plastic overlay pieces with occasional fabric I reckon. They might be able to get away with a standard female mold that way. It would fuck with height sometimes but allow for everything else. As you say, they'll want cheap!

    With Netflix She-Ra the biggest problem scale wise would be Frosta but if they can make the aesthetic of the show work using Origins and/or Masterverse moulds it might not be impossible.

    If they did make a new mould they could include several different ice based accessories and sell her as a Deluxe...at a minimum she needs ice fists!

    Yup.

    I really wish that show hadn't been on Netflix. It's a fucking merchandise killer that platform.

    They'd probably put Frosta in a two-pack with another awkward figure. In terms of interactions packing her in with Perfuma or Glimmer could work. But yes, boo for lack of proper figs for the one show from this franchise I watch dammit! :p 
    Are there no teenaged characters in the other MOTU franchises that they could reuse Netflix She-ra molds for?
    Now imagining normal Mermista but also SEA-RA Mermista fig! She probably has the build closest to the Masterverse female mold figs I already own lol.

    It's a shame some figs I'd really like would be such deep cuts that unless they're doing figs of everyone we'd probably never get, like Mara, both normal and She-ra mode.

    "Are they taking the piss?"

    Adam didn't care if they were standard issue for a prince, the tights were causing crotch static.

    That only adds to the ruggish appeal.



    Who am I kidding? He looks horrendous. It doesn't look good regardless, but the lopsided trim is just comical

    Bah, i think my DKR Robin figure was a factory 2nd or something, wasnt until the ankle pin snapped whilst trying to bend it that I realise the little ball joint didnt have a pin.

    Wouldnt have been so bad of the feet werent at an angle that impeded standing, makes you wonder if B&M got some iffy stock with their Mcfarlane order.

    I will glue the feet on so she can stand but its still annoying

    Why when installing anything is it always the final screw that's somehow at a bastard of an angle? (Yes, I bought that sign)

    In other news, Toyah says her most widely-viewed video is the Ace of Spades one. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the French maid outfit. Or me. Something something damn good spanking.

    Vince McMahon as a commentator would say = WHATAMOUSTACHE! :D 

    Roy Keane's was better in both incarnations,

    More WWE reveals as it's apparently Wrestlemania weekend,

    Kurt Angle in WWE Ultimate Edition 20 w/ Bianca Belair & Bobby Lashley – Wrestling Figure News

    Looks like Ultimate Editions are going to 3 per wave and great to see Kurt Angle is on board although that version looks a bit plain and all the head renders are mediocre so hopefully better things to come from future UE figures of him.

    WWE Monday Night Wars Elites Digital Renders – Wrestling Figure News

    Hulk Hogan with a different 'tache to his usual one is keeping with the theme of this post :D 

    Mr Perfect & Bam Bam Bigelow Coming to WWE Superstars Line – Wrestling Figure News

    If the Superstars line were available at something less than UK import pricing in I'd have one or two more figures as they could be mixed into MOTU displays but they're not so for the most part I'll admire from afar.

    @Siege Fan,
    I reckon Toyah's responsible for a lot of blokes of a certain age starting to go blind :D

    Yeah, no complaints about the result after that performance which should at least signal the end of any argument about whether McTominay should stay beyond the rest of this season.

    All that nonsense from certain types of United fan because he fluked 4 goals in 2 games for Scotland yet he reverted straight back to type and was garbage although he was far from the only bad performer, Rashford looked like the same sulky non entity of last season, Sancho is absolutely pathetic and Weghorst was so ineffective even the walking corpse Martial looked to have more of a goal threat :eek: 

    Looking at the remaining fixtures I think United still have a decent chance of making the top 4 especially with Casemiro and Eriksen to return but it's far from guaranteed especially with the away form being so dodgy.
