    1/6 Hot Toys - CMS022/CMS022B Marvel Comics Doctor Doom

    Something seems slightly off about both heads to me. I think it might be the nose. Maybe too thin and long? He doesn't quite represent the classic Kirby or john byrne doom to me. But looks good anyway. I'm glad hot toys is going all in here. Looking forward to what else they go after. Captain...

    Academic books on Comics and Popular Culture

    If you are interested in academic writing on comics my advice would be to find relevant journals and search for articles there. I did a quick Google search and the university of Oregon has a minor on comic studies with a number of faculty who appear to have this as a research interest...

    Sideshow Beetlejuice (new figure?)

    I also wonder whether the hair is futzable or not. They may have taken it right out of the box and made no attempt to shape or style it like the prototype, in which case it might be bunched up or otherwise misshappen.

    InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

    I think the sculpted hair looks terrific here. Perhaps a bit shiny.

    1/6 Hot Toys - HONŌ STUDIO - Marvels X-Men - Wolverine Action Figure

    I paid for mine Monday, when it came in stock, but they still haven't shipped it yet. "Preparing to ship" status. I don't recall SSC ever being so slow with something before.

    InArt - The Batman 1/6th Figure

    It doesn't have nearly enough buttons to be a regular keyboard. Even if they started the top row with QWERTY, the next row would start with the letter O, so it was going to be off no matter what. Thankfully those of us wise enough to order the standard won't have to worry about this. . .as we...

    The Penguin (The Batman) limited series | HBO Max

    I don't know if it is purely compassion. There are at least two other ways to see it at the outset. On the most surface level, as he says in the show, Penguin now "owns" this kid, who justifiably fears Penguin and what he will do if the kid fails to deliver. People in organized crime exploit...

    The Penguin (The Batman) limited series | HBO Max

    Yes, great episode. This has potential to be something special.

    Splinter Cell: Deathwatch (Netflix)

    I enjoyed the game about 100 years ago.

    The Penguin (The Batman) limited series | HBO Max

    Yeah, there could be a logical explanation along these lines. Frankly Batman is overexposed in films alone, put aside cartoons and comics. If he was also overexposed with tv shows (most of which being sub-par) then that could potentially hurt the brand. Though Superman has a lot of exposure...

    Mars Toys 1/6 Penguin (Burgess Meredith)

    Yeah, I'm happy they executed with Joker, but am not putting much stock in them going forward. Shame they haven't been able to keep up with their planned releases. Seems like they should have set more reasonable expectations of themselves and not put up pre-orders for so many different figures.

    1/6 Sideshow Garindan - Scum & Villainy

    I initially wasn't going to order, but now. . .am 100% definitely never going to order.

    InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

    Agreed. One does not simply buy a second Aragorn.

    Mickey 17 (January 31st 2025)

    Parasite is on my list of things to see. But it certainly doesn't look boring. So, that's a good thing. Echoes of Moon at first blush.

    Hot Toys: Batman 85 Years Announcement Speculation

    Almost nothing about this says "Batman" to me, beyond the ears and chest symbol.

    MONDO - THE THING

    No more clearances, I hope.

    How many "unopened" items do you have?

    Hot Toys Back to the Future 2 Marty Probably should have sold it off years ago, considering that it's unlikely I'll ever display it. Not 1/6 scale but there is a Masterpiece Grapple that I've also somehow never been motivated to open. I've also got some duplicate Super 7 Ultimates GI Joes that...

    ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

    I still can't get behind the missing link figures. I think releasing a figure based on the ArCee prototype is a great idea, but it seems to me that a straight release in the design of the original figures would be more desirable. I guess you could just do limited poses and pretend it was truly...
