    I found a metallic pink paint pen that worked great

    Overly excited 'cause hand-drilling this bugger was torturous, Mentally & slightly Physically (Ow! Me drillin' hand! No injury I hasten to add, just a bit hard on the poor fella!), BUT it is DONE!
    I didn't think I'd drilled deep enough, and my most recent 5mm drilling attempts have been slightly wide of the mark (hand drillin' ain't easy but a bit of a minor wiggle isn't the same major disaster as going wronger, worser, faster by power drillin')! Usually pretty recoverable from) so I am MADE UP that this Bashhammer is as snug as a bug in a rug on that there wrist peg!
    Thank YOU, Mod Gods!!!

    Yeah, I need those lairs whatever it takes, I don't give a fiddler's what pishy Walmart reckons to anything. That Mattel are going all-in on this line will wind up showing them how much money they could have had in the recent past.

    This line will also hopefully prove just how big the adult collector market is at mass retail. I mean I don't know how the gimps didn't come to realise it would be taking adults to be buying so many items at scale, but anyway...

    @Siege Fan,
    If vintage carded Mysterio is starting to be reviewed hopefully Kingpin won't be too far off as I pre-ordered both at the same time from Comics & Cocktails.

    I like the brighter colours on the new Mysterio , I think he's got a new head under the dome as well and I've also seen some nice 3D printed triangle things to represent his powers of illusion (or something?) on ebay that I might get for him.

    I'VE SEEN ENOUGH OF HIS FILTHY SECRETS ALREADY TODAY, THANK YOU.

    *clicks link*


    So, I'm in. It may or may not have had anything to do with the clip from this Sixo previously teased on Twitter.

    Or Dom and his Toddlicus pic on there too.

    Screenshot_20200812-221927_Twitter.jpg

    Or the fact that I can't resist sorcery.

    Bastards.

    That Mysterio looks all kinds of great, honestly wasn't expecting the dome to be removable! Much prefer it to the previous one which I could never find and I'm really glad I didn't buy the FFH one as, great as it was, it nowhere near as impressive as this.

    Yeah, I've got Kingpin ordered too. Happily I've still got the BAF heads.

    The last 20 years has seen companies giving me pretty much everything I ever wanted, really has.

    Hasbro - Seems I'll have damn near the core TF cast (toy and show) in my own terms by the end of WFC.

    Marvel Legends have given me almost everyone I could want just in three years.

    Mattel - The upcoming MOTU stuff? Inject it into my veins and it beats paying Super 7 prices.

    NECA - All my favourite movies are almost fully represented alongside some cult toylines like Kenner licences. Then they're gonna give me all the TMNT cartoon stuff I never had as a kid.

    Diamond Select - Giant figures like you had as a kid but with amazing sculpting, or The Muppets, or Bruce Lee, or... Just cool.

    Super 7 - WAY overpriced, but I have damn near perfect MOTU movie figures now.

    Funko - Where else am I getting ZZ Top represented, or James Brown, or Billy Idol, or...

    I think so too. As I'm in on the XTB Stunticons these have been hovering around the periphery of my interest. They just needed nudging into focus. This one did it. Bravo, sir!

    Of course his mates are gonna need to come along for the ride too.

    I saw, and it works. I can get by with the torso fellas being goliaths compared to everyone else given what they have to do.

    Got the shipping notice for my 4 extra Slitherfangs from Amazon US too. Let's see how long it takes those to get across the pond.

    I was wondering when we were getting this lad. I have the FFH one and he’s okay but feels a bit rubbery tbh. A Gylenhaal head would have been nice too. Looking forward to proper Mysterio though as he’s always been a fave.

    I have beef with Diamond Select over their Muppets figures as I have a near-complete set of the Palisades ones and Diamonds are too small to scale with them, so Waldorf and Statler’s box and the one or two characters they’ve done that Palisades didn’t are of no bloody use to me. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    Got my Guardian Drone invoice just now from In Demand and have my other hand down the back of the couch looking for change as I type this.

    I can make a cheap, sturdy stage from foam board really easily for the Muppets figures (including W&S), I've even got red velour material for a curtain to embellish and hide things lol, so I'm really happy with them. Everybody will be playing their instruments onstage with Crazy Harry setting the 'fireworks' below.

    Who started singing be prepared?

    1:30am and inside temp according to the thermostat is 27. Blegh. I'm a puddle.

    Been playing with siege g2 swipe tonight and it's making me want to pick up a few of this mould in different colours as the autobot version of tfp's vehicons. It really is something.
