Really like this character and hoping ML sees an updated figure as it feels underscaled and a little outdated. Had an extra Stryfe lying around and wanted to see where this went. 3 mistakes with head I couldn't walk back and larger than I prefer scale wise. Still working on chest eyes.

Josh Hutcherson and Mackenzie Davis have been officially cast as Mister Miracle and Big Barda, respectively, in the upcoming DC Universe animated series Mister Miracle. Confirmed by James Gunn on social media, the project is an adult animated adaptation of the critically acclaimed, Eisner Award-winning 12-issue comic book run by Tom King and Mitch Gerads. King is serving as the showrunner and has personally written all eight episodes, working heavily on recording and editing alongside artist Mitch Gerads. In line with DC Studios' unified DCU strategy, both actors' physical likenesses are being integrated into the animation, preparing them to reprise their respective roles in live-action when the opportunity arises. The eight-episode series focuses on Scott Free (Mister Miracle), the universe's greatest escape artist, and his formidable warrior wife, Big Barda, as they attempt to build a normal life on Earth while navigating trauma and a cosmic war between New Genesis and Apokolips. Nathan Fillion is also set to reprise his DCU role as Green Lantern Guy Gardner in the series. Season 1 is deep in development with all episodes currently in animatics, targeting a 2028 debut on Max.

If only they had cancelled Reeves' monstrosity too.

sounds to me it was the right decision to cancel

They might as well rename themselves to Kaybee / KB Toys then. Same with all these toy catalogs these days, no prices anywhere. Sorry no price displayed? no sale? I'm not bothering with the effort to find out. Especially during the holiday shopping season. The one thing that is universally hated is standing in a long line at checkouts. I assume some states might have some laws against that too? like a truth in advertising law

Sony Pictures has acquired the live-action film rights to D’Orc, the bestselling comic book series from writer and illustrator Brett Bean, who is attached to adapt the property for the screen. Plot details for the film are being kept under wraps. The original comic, published by Image Comics, combines swashbuckling humor, expansive magical mythology and memorable creatures with a grittier, action-driven fantasy adventure. D’Orc debuted earlier this year and quickly became a commercial success. The first issue sold out before its release and has since reached its eighth printing, while subsequent issues have also required multiple printings. Bean is known for his work across comics and graphic novels. In addition to D’Orc, he created the Zoo Patrol Squad graphic novel series and the Muk ’n’ Honey series. Sony has not announced a release date or additional creative details for the D’Orc adaptation.

Congratulations to the winner.

Army building the Snake robots? Sounds like a great idea man!️

Personally, I honestly can't understand why anyone would want that release when it's saddled with a... not very cool looking head that only appeared in the series for a handful of panels. Hardly a meaningful or emblematic representation of the character. It's a really baffling decision from McFarlane (but what else is new?) in my eyes. I'm personally curious to see if those who want a representation of the character but aren't willing to pay the bloated price of the "Elite" figure will actually choke it down or if it'll just pegwarm.

Joe Manganiello has revealed new details about Ben Affleck’s canceled Batman solo film, including a major confrontation with Deathstroke, a role for Batgirl, and a climactic showdown through Gotham City. Manganiello, who was cast as Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke, discussed the abandoned project in his new book, Bloodlines: A Memoir. The film was conceived as a superhero thriller with Deathstroke attempting to dismantle Batman’s life. According to Manganiello, Deathstroke would have invaded the Batcave, taken Alfred Pennyworth hostage and killed Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon. The story also would have featured Batgirl teaming up with Batman to fight Deathstroke. Manganiello also described the film’s final sequence as a “climactic one-on-one showdown through the streets of Gotham.” Affleck’s Batman film was ultimately abandoned, and project’s development eventually gave way to Matt Reeves’ The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, which was released in 2022. Despite the film’s cancellation, Manganiello recalled being enthusiastic about Affleck’s vision. “It sounded good to me,” the actor wrote, praising Affleck’s previous work and expressing excitement about seeing his take on the Dark Knight.

I'm more annoyed they replaced Dr. Nick. He sounds horrible now, and the original voice was in impression of Gábor Csupó, a HUNGARIAN man, so replacing the character with a Hispanic actor seems like a lateral move at best.

Shown below is a look at a new Over the Garden Wall Set from Mondo. When more details emerge, we will be sure to let everyone know.

G.I.Joe Classified was $31.99 and Classified Retro was $34.99 and they do carry the new M.A.S.K. toys as well. High prices but still cool for me to finally see Classified in a TRU in the States.

Paramount has acquired the film rights to Pierce Brown’s bestselling Red Rising book series and tapped I Am Legend director Francis Lawrence to helm an adaptation of the first novel. Justin Rhodes, whose credits include Terminator: Dark Fate, will write the screenplay. Published in 2014, Red Rising follows Darrow, a Red-class miner living on Mars who discovers that his people have been enslaved by the ruling Gold caste. After undergoing a transformation to infiltrate Gold society, Darrow joins a rebellion determined to overthrow the oppressive hierarchy. The project adds to Paramount’s growing slate of literary adaptations. The studio is preparing a big-screen adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone, scheduled to open January 15, 2027. Other upcoming adaptations include Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, set for November 12, 2027, and The Midnight Library. Lawrence is best known for directing five films in The Hunger Games franchise, including the upcoming The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, which is scheduled for release November 20. He recently directed The Long Walk, an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel for Lionsgate. Lawrence is also developing Carry Me to My Grave, an adaptation of Christopher Golden’s horror novel, which he is considering directing and producing for Lionsgate. No release date or additional casting details have been announced for Red Rising.

Well, ok then. Personally I never viewed it as a big problem that Azaria voiced him (it is voice *acting* after all), but also don't judge them for stepping away from the character the way they did, either. The people who were offended by it have different life experiences than myself, so who am I to sit on high and decide whether that reaction was justified on their behalf? In the end, I hope everyone's happy with the new guy, though I'm sure there will be those on both sides of the argument that are not. So let's end with a fun fact: Chris Latta was the original voice actor for both Moe and Monty Burns, but was only able to record two episodes. In a different universe, we could have had Cobra Commander delivering "It was the best of times, it was the... Blurst of times!?!"

Also, if you dont want to pay the Elite edition cost, then buy the version that comes in the Absolute wave. The Batman in that 4 figure wave is not Elite and is a typical release. It features less accessories. It has the saw and rebreather head and maybe some extra hands. The chest emblem may be different, too. It comes in axe off mode so it has the checkerboard pattern. It probably doesnt feature magnets like the Elite. I could be wrong on the missing axe, so ur’s best to check iut pics to verify.

Here are some of my recently 3D printed action figures. The biggest switch is that I now use differently colored resins to avoid having to paint the figures. It is a bit tedious since every part has to be printed separately and then assembled. But it makes the figures much easier to handle without having to worry about paint rubbing off when posing. The figures were printed on a Saturn 3 with Sunlu Toughness resin and color pigments. All figures designed and modeled by me, Hauke Scheer. Here is a link to an assembly video of one of the heads of the figures.

Apu Nahasapeemapetilon has returned to The Simpsons after nearly a decade, with Indian-American voice actor Sunil Malhotra taking over the role from Hank Azaria. Apu reappeared in the Season 38 episode “Treehouse of Horror Presents: The Revengening,” which aired Sunday. The character, who owns Springfield’s Kwik-E-Mart, last had a speaking role in the series in 2017. “We love this character, and wanted to bring him back in a smart, Simpsons-y way that allowed him to evolve,” producer Matt Selman told Variety. Selman added that the production team was pleased with Malhotra’s performance and looked forward to featuring Apu in future episodes. Malhotra’s credits include animated series such as The Legend of Korra, The Legend of Vox Machina and Monster High, along with video games including Mortal Kombat 1 and Halo: Reach. Azaria, who voiced Apu for decades, still voices many of the show’s characters including Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, and Professor Frink.

It was announced earlier this year that we would be seeing 120 new standalone Toys"R"Us stores opening across the country this holiday season in partnership with Go! Retail Group. The nationwide rollout would mark a major milestone in the continued growth and return of Toys"R"Us in the United States, with a total of 160 standalone stores set to be open across the country by the holiday season. One of these new 120 stores opened recently 15 minutes from my house at the local outlet mall. So I headed over to check it out. Below is a video of what I found plus my thoughts about it. While some stores might vary some, based on similar videos from others I watched, this seems to be pretty much what you can expect to find if a new store opens near you. Being a Toys R' Us Kid I guess isn't what it used to be.

Lol so ridiculous! I’ll take 5!

Taika Waititi’s long-developing Star Wars movie has been put on hold indefinitely, with the filmmaker confirming that he and Lucasfilm are shifting their focus to different projects. The director revealed the update while promoting his latest film, Klara and the Sun, in an interview with Inverse. Waititi, whose Star Wars project was first announced in 2020, was candid about its current status. “I hate to break this to you, but we’re going to actually put it on ice and we’re working on a different thing together,” Waititi said. After acknowledging that his publicist had advised him not to reveal too much, he added, “Well, there’s your answer. I don’t even know how to dress it up or make it even vague.” “It’s very iced. I’ve got about four other movies I’m trying to do,” the filmmaker continued. “Ice ages do come to an end… Who knows?” Despite the delay, Waititi had previously discussed his creative vision for the Star Wars film. He said he wanted to recapture the sense of fun he remembered from the original movies while creating a story that would stand apart from the franchise’s existing projects. “The stakes are very high, and there’s serious things going on, but there’s also a lot of fun to be had in those films. That’s what I was trying to bring back,” Waititi said at the time. For now, Waititi’s Star Wars movie remains on hold, with no indication of when development might resume, if ever.
