    Mutt & Junkyard are great, particularly with the substitution of one of Shockwave’s sub guns and a suppressor! One of my favorites from the line for sure. I will likely substitute a non-gloved right hand if I come into an extra one, but that’s my only (very minor) nitpick.

    Looks like that’s what this fellow used for his custom (on Mercari): I love the idea in concept, but I don’t think I have the tools or talent to do the cutting, grafting and painting I’d need to do. That said, I’d happily pay the price of a fig to get just a head like that with a black watch cap.

    You might consider trying to pick up a Tunnel Rat figure, as he’s a little smaller than most. Looks great though!

    Now that’s a proper head for that Falcon buck!

    Excellent recreations! I honestly don’t know much about them, but they match the pics better than most H’bro figs do!

    Yep, saw way too many of those these past couple months - now for 33% off the $5 Ollie’s price and still warming shelves… 🤣 No wonder they couldn’t sell them for $20+ originally. Some seriously lame figures from a seriously lame movie.

    Oh no. Yeah, no need for a second job for you! I noticed that I became the IT guy for my parents when they finally got a computer (and anything else electronic). As they got older, I found that they always had something they needed help with every time I’d go over or they came over. It actually...

    I love it! Makes a lot of sense for a high volume customized like yourself. I wonder how hard it is to scan and scale up classic accessories?

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/186056731691 Here’s the one I got. You might be able to work out a package deal if you contact him. Looks like he’s got at least 7 left.

    The Eel double spear/prod gun arrived. He's complete now. It's a very nice piece, true to the original, solid and almost a little oversized, especially compared to the MP7 I got for Shockwave. I think SW will ultimately end up with Airborne's pistol caliber carbine, as that should be a little...

    A couple bad news stories: For Hasbro: Hasbro To Lay Off Almost 20% of its workforce Amid Continued Slumping Toy Sales I think this was all but inevitable with all the toys that have had to go to Ollie's to get sold (and some that won't even sell there). Between the move from toys to devices...

    I love your enthusiasm, and what you say makes sense. I think you are spot on that they are baiting us all along to pull in as many fan types and to stretch this out as long as they can. Based on the listed monthly sales for AMZ, Retro Scarlett, Grunt and Desert SE ( :wtf:) all with multiple...

    You're right. There are more than enough characters and vehicles yet to do. I just hope we get all the best ones, done well, before it ultimately sputters out. Maybe that is where my doubt lies. I sometimes wonder why they are doing some of the ones they are, and why now. Are barefoot Bruce...

    I look forward to seeing how you configure it for display/pics! I ended up POing just Airborne. I'll need to figure out his replacement rifle, but otherwise, he seems like a really solid fig. I've decided to wait out the others that I have mild interest in. Seeing lower prices on a lot of the...

    Lol, you‘re right about it not being worth joining the unwashed masses, particularly right now, though I keep finding myself out there despite that. My oldest daughter is learning to drive so we went out last night to practice and ended up out on our main commercial area driving up and down a...

    Entertainment Earth has the same. It almost got me to buy them both plus Scarlett and Airborne to get the free shipping. But I told myself they will update the price before the delivery date or cancel the order. No way they'll take a $10 hit on each one of those. Still waiting for Amazon to...

    The only one I am definitely POing is Airborne. Scarlett looks fantastic as the definitive retro version, but I'm not sure if I like her enough to unseat the one I have currently. Neither is as modern/practical as the Resolute version was, or even as well outfitted as some of those Vala girls...
