They're gotten really cheap with materials with certain releases. I'm really worried about that black pleather crap in his armpits flaking.

Which is why I NEVER buy figures anymore. I'm literally making all my own with help of others in a degree. Pleather will NEVER hold up to real leather. It's a flaw to think that thinly layered plastic heat stamped into a pattern on fabric will hold up under certain conditions.
 
Deathstroke is all over Yahoo! News. I love Slade Wilson but c'mon, is it really this easy to get people excited? :lol
 
Spent half the day in bed trying not to die from a migraine. Got up to see Gene Wilder died. :mad: 2016 can eat a bag of dicks.

I've been dealing with slight migraines/tension headaches for the last two weeks or so. Nothing catastrophic, just irritating.

Pleather on any figure is pretty much doomed to flake apart at some point. I forget which Arnie, either DX10 or 13 has pleather... or maybe they're both leather? I cannot recall.

What are you talking about? I'm going to see it 15 times. :dunno

The DX10 is real leather while the MMS117 and DX13 were both some kind of pleather. Honestly, the outfit on the DX10 is way too tight if you compare it to the movie and is far from accurate. I can go on for days on how the DX10 is the biggest disappointment in my collection. :lol
 
I honestly can't picture myself watching these DC movies more than once, for free nonetheless. Didju ever got to watching BvS? I assume not since you're still in one piece! :monkey3

That's a negative. My girl keeps mentioning she wants to watch it, but I haven't felt the desire to dedicate any time to it. We got a four day weekend this week, so maybe...

Ah okay. Now that I have that in mind, the DX13 does have that fake pleather shine to it.

Jokingly tell your fiance ""be careful what you wish for". :lol Have something to watch later to wash off that sour taste of BvS immediately after. Perhaps Mask of the Phantasm, or the STAS episode "World's Finest."

I really need to watch Phatasm again. I haven't seen it since it originally aired on TV :lol I have a better memory of World's Finest.
 
Miserable day yesterday trying to stop my head from exploding. Now I'm sitting at the doctor's office trying to figure out something else to get my back pain under control. I'm surprised I haven't snapped yet.

I couldn't find my copy of Mask of the Phantasm so I ordered another one and got it yesterday. I ended up getting the one with the Mr. Freeze movie as well. Hoping to get to watch both this week.

Hang in there buddy. You've managed this long. :)

Hope it gets under control soon. Back pain is terrible.

It'd be nice to figure out something that doesn't involve narcotics since I won't take those. I'd just like to get everything dulled down to the point where I'm not always thinking about it, but it's difficult to find something that doesn't fill my brain as well. All I want to do now is stay in bed where I'm most comfortable, but I go stir crazy after awhile. Plus, my leg goes numb when I'm on my back so that's also annoying.
 
I did it preparing oatmeal :lol

I move around some pretty high amounts of weight bodybuilding, and this is what does it.

You never know what will set it off. Plus, once you've done it, it seems like it gets easier and smaller activities will cause it. I used to dig holes Doug archaeological surveys and didn't have any problems while doing it. Then I'd go home and turn my torso in the kitchen to grab a bowl or spoon and drop to the floor.

Sorry to hear that. Well, if it helps, I do find tranquility after a bad day by looking at my collection and see how far I've came. That way your mind goes places, if that makes any sense. :slap

I still have the original 1999 release and I keep praying it will see a blu ray treatment someday. I remember fans were furious in 2013 when there was nothing by WB to commemorate the 20th anniversary. Surely this deserves equal respect alongside the great Batman movies like Batman 89, TDK and erm, BvS.
