    Joker: Folie à Deux

    You have to remember, the first Joker film was a big protracted and overlapping unhinged dream sequence, so I think escalating to a musical is quite in keeping with the premise. Last film it was a talk show (that may have never happened) and now it's a bloated stage performance that unfolds in...

    Kaustic Plastik / Infinite Statue - 1/6 Hammer Horror of Dracula

    I thought it was weird that the neutral sculpts weren't part of the standard sets. Usually it's the extreme or exceptional sculpts that are added in for exclusives. I don't like the angry Van Helsing sculpt at all, it looks a bit cartoonish, but the demon Dracula sculpt turned out pretty fine...

    MONDO - THE THING

    Where are you guys finding these DID coats? I searched for random leather jackets on Ebay and various 1:6 seller sites, but only got mixed results of coats that were the wrong style.

    MONDO - THE THING

    I wouldn't be surprised and that does seem like the most logical reason for this mix up. I was surprised that MacReady arrived without any duties from DHL, so that tells me these things were likely all declared with low (or no) value when shipped from China. Couriers just don't work that way -...

    Kaustic Plastik / Infinite Statue - 1/6 Hammer Horror of Dracula

    That's why there was no hesitation when I went for the full deluxe exclusive set, even though it was remarkably more expensive and came with some stuff I didn't need, like the coffin accessory. The standard would simply never cut it, and I couldn't live with the thought that there were...

    1/6 Hot Toys - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back - Chewbacca

    I paid about the same, slightly more, for the Han and Chewie 2-pack, which was a fantastic set. That ANH Chewie was one of the best figures HT ever made. Considering how specific and unique it was, they did a fine job of making high-end 1:6 scale Chewbacca, because at the time many collectors...

    EXO-6 Star Trek “The Motion Picture (TMP)” Figures

    Yeah, that's for sure. I suppose all of the cost was eaten up in the jumpsuit tailoring and the sculpted chest hair. LOL! That disco medallion he's earring better be real gold. To be fair, it's still under $200 (by a mere $5) and Nanjin did warn that the prices were going up. I just got used to...

    EXO-6 Star Trek “The Motion Picture (TMP)” Figures

    I've never seen a more bare"BONES" figure at this price before, from EXO-6 or any other maker. Not an accessory in sight. Hopefully they throw in a 1:1 badge or some other extra, but I'm not counting on it. Whatever, I still ordered this because I like the idea of finally completing the Motion...

    MONDO - THE THING

    Mine finally arrived a couple of hours ago. Now to open it up and see just how much of a pile of :poop: this "thing" really is.

    MONDO - THE THING

    I too am in the Toronto Canada area with the same issue. For the past two days its gone from "Processed for Clearance" to "Clearance Event" to "Shipment on Hold and back to "Clearance Event". I'd love to know what kind of "EVENT" this is where everyone at DHL is clutching their pearls over my...

    MONDO - THE THING

    That Hitchcock figure was kinda grisly looking. I don't remember much about the fit of the suit, but the sculpt was quite rough and low grade. Like something a lower-end third party company would make a decade ago.

    MONDO - THE THING

    But it's just moving around China! I see the same movement on my tracking today. It still has to cross an ocean, then it will be a different story when it travels through North American checkpoints in my case. The latter should be 2 days, but it has to get out of China first.

    MONDO - THE THING

    I got a DHL shipping notice a few days ago, then another today for authorization of delivery without signature. There isn't any update on the tracking, nor any noticeable movement on the parcel's progress through the system or any indication of travel through their checkpoints. I doubt these...

    InArt Phoenix Joker 1/6

    Yes, The Joker came along during all of this but it's easy, or all too convenient, to forget that it was also during a time when we were deep into the radicalized political climate of the Trump era with a loud and weaponized fringe Right monologue at the forefront of the public stage. Regardless...

    EXO-6 Star Trek “Enterprise” Figures

    Good. I hope my (our) critiques about the cartoonish caricature quality fell on some Vulcan ears at EXO-6. I like what I (can barely) see in the new photo. The previous sculpt was there for the most part, only needed some dialling down on the mouth and chin area and the size of the eyes. Small...

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

    I don't know if they're paying anyone for anything with buyers' money. We'll never know, nor do we need to know. The reason I said they're "pocketing" is because it's sheer cash that they're collecting upfront. I imagine it pays for wages, rent, warehouse, some products and whatever else, but...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "General Discussion" 1/6 Line

    I do believe through EXO-6 this really is the only way and only time to get high-end 1:6 Star Trek figures in this era. Even if some other company happens to grab the license in five to ten years from now, they'll only hit up the principal characters from TOS and even fewer from TNG. That's it...

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

    Did they really have the nerve to say, "The situation is highly unusual and not indicative of our standard practice."? More like "... very typical of our normal expected and well-documented form of practice". I can't believe they retain customers' cash without delivering on goods. What are...

    Big Chief Studios* - 1/6 Doctor Who - #3 Jon Pertwee

    I was sad too, especially since I had the deluxe Baker Doctor preordered and was eagerly and patiently waiting for it to be perfected and shipped soon. Big Chief handled some offbeat licenses, with mostly European/British appeal, but that's the kind of retro fringe stuff I like to see in the...

    Furiosa (May 24, 2024)

    I noticed that right from the beginning, as I was watching the movie. I spent the following many minutes trying to wrestle that problem out of my thoughts so I could pay attention to where the story was going. It may have been at the point when Dementus was negotiating with Immortan Joe that...
