I was a big fan of the Conan movie (along with everything related to D&D and sword and sorcery) back in 1982, but always thought the artwork on this poster was a little wonky. Valeria looked great, but the depiction of Conan wasn't my favourite. His anatomy and proportions were off and he was...

I also got a delay notice from Sideshow yesterday. Not like I didn't expect it. Their projected release date was around this time, in early first-quarter of 2024, which was never believable, especially for two complete figures with a multitude of accessories. Their Fonzie just shipped last month...

The deluxe come with additional neutral sculpts for both character figures. Do go on the waitlist because your order will almost inevitably convert. I missed out on two KP figure sets (Fonzie and Dracula) and both of my waitlists converted. Oddly, the Dracula converted just a week ago almost a...

Yeah, I had a lot of similar problems with my 1966 Batmobile. It was a complete mess and one of the most disappointing high-end 1:6 purchases of my 20+ years of collecting. While the car looked impressive at first glance it only took a few minutes to see all the glaring faults. Detailing and...

I hate to put it in this way, but for the sake of accuracy, Lindsay Wagner was practically (or accurately) a flat A-cup. She had a very specific physique at the time, which was thin, tall, lean and lanky, but also strong and athletic. Typical of 70s/80s models with slouched shoulders, sunken...

I think the head is too small on both statues. Overall, compared to the proportions of the upper body, and also the hips and legs look very big. Look how tiny his little hands are compared to the body. Everything just seems off in ways that are glaring and would always bother me if I had one of...

Looks like Sideshow just received their stock. I got my charge notice yesterday and will it likely ship by tomorrow. I'm very curious to see how this tough greaser turned out. I went for the deluxe version, even though the accessories didn't interest me and the substantial premium price hike...

Why would they give a time limit on a credit coupon when they have your money in escrow? Could it be because they will dissolve their company shortly, by the time that coupon expires? They don't have products or cash any longer! I know I'm just speculating and stirring up unsubstantiated...

I think Sideshow sculpts come out looking very close to their prototypes and promo pics. It's the quality of Sideshow sculpts that's always in question - those baffling cartoonish style portraits that seem to run through all of their lines. They do, however, deliver on those cartoonish sculpts...

Hey, I had this same thing happen with mine. I was going to post about it to see if anyone else had experienced the same. I don't know what snagged the strings - it could have been the hand on the neck, although made sure not to have the fingers actually contacting the strings, or something...

Those texts are always scams. It's not UPS (or any postal delivery service) at all. I get them all the time from UPS, Canada Post or even some unnamed service. If they don't refer to you by your proper name, or at least first name, in the text then it isn't coming from someone or some company...

Toronto, Canada. During film festival season they’re all over the place and easy to run into if you know where to hang out, but I don’t try. My encounters were all random, at odd afternoon hours in generally open public spaces. Celebs like to walk around Toronto because we're polite here tend...

It was 2005 and I was walking into a tiny retro toy/collectible shop to pick up an order of Mego figures. As I approached the steps of the shop to enter - it was a basement level shop - coming towards the steps from the opposite direction was Helena Bonham-Carter. I said hello and exchanged a...

Now I'm getting nervous that this Fonz figure will be comparable to KP's Twin Peaks Agent Cooper. That figure was one of my worst purchases of 2023, with a quality that resembled something Sideshow would have released almost 20 years ago. The price point for these KP figures is completely out of...

Can't completely blame anyone who chose to buy from TW over the past few years. Even two years ago - maybe even less than two - there were plenty of collectors stepping up to defend TW because they never had a problem with the company. The verdict on TW's reliability was still pending. However...

The old DOFP sculpt (shown on the right) is still better than the new one. I think this is becoming a mix-up of comparison criteria because there's a difference between, a) accuracy and capturing the actor's/character's likeness, compared to, b) being lifelike and finer in detail and paint...

That head sculpt is creepy weird. It has a dead look in the eyes like a CGI rendering or a de-aged face. I have the other two BVS and SS versions, which have always been cool figures in my collection, but I can't decide if I really need to add a third. I'm not sure if a bigger, beefier Batman...

Blitzway's Kurt Cobain was probably the standout figure of the year for me. I'm not even a fan, but it was a great figure that felt special and unique in my collection, and a purchase that reminded me of why I got into 1:6 collecting over 20 years ago. I haven’t received my InArt Gandalf yet...

Blitzway's Kurt Cobain was probably the standout figure of the year for me. I'm not even a fan, but it was a great figure that felt special and unique in my collection. Other runner-ups were: EXO-6 ST:TMP Admiral Kirk EXO-6 Seven of Nine InArt Joker Mars Toys Prank Villain Joker ArtFigures...

This discussion was getting somewhat heated a couple of months ago when some collectors expressed their frustration with EXO-6's releases and hurled some real tough criticism of the company's handling of the Star Trek license. I did suggest the same at the time: that the Voyager line is now...
