Good news if you're into it I guess. Not my thing, but I always celebrate when a kids franchise gets a show that kids can actually watch.

Hasbro Makes An Angry Action Figure Collector Figure???
mako replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Makes since. You'd be hard-pressed to find a collector more critical of Hasbro than that guy. -
Super7 Announces Star Trek The Next Generation ReAction Figures
mako replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
These seem interesting, but when is Enterprise gonna get some love? Sure you see merch occasionally, but it's few and far between. Sad state of affairs for a great show whose only real crime was being, as Connor "Trip" Trinneer once put it, "One trip to the well to many." -
Some of these look cool, but as I've said before, i will never support the movie that took Brandon Lee away from us in any way, shape, or form.

Hasbro Makes An Angry Action Figure Collector Figure???
mako replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Sure, in a way. On the other hand, seeing as how the hundreds of bucks a year I drop on their stuff helps pay these douche-bags' pay checks, I'm not sure I'm down with being a living joke to the over-paid intellectual flat-lines. -
Sasha Calle To Debut As 'Supergirl' In 'The Flash' Standalone Movie
mako replied to Outsiders's topic in Entertainment News
Of course personal mileage will vary, but I think the general consensus is Wonder Woman and Aquaman were the first totally successful DCCU movies. MOS, BVS, and WW84 were successful but extremely divisive, Suicide Squad was a disappointment but Warners carried it for a bit due to Margot Robbie's brief status as an "It Girl." Birds of Prey was a flop and, barring the intervention of rabid James Gunn fans, I don't see the new Suicide Squad movie doing much better. BTW: Who wants to bet the new Suicide Squad pulls a Machete 2 and Harley appears just long enough to take a bullet? -

Pretty smooth on the brand team's part. A little bit of internet worthy (ie Lame) humor to distract everyone from the fact they released another "Screaming-Face." I'm not sure what's sadder, that they pulled such a transparent ploy . . . or that it apparently worked. -
Sasha Calle To Debut As 'Supergirl' In 'The Flash' Standalone Movie
mako replied to Outsiders's topic in Entertainment News
I'm still not getting my hopes up. As far as DC movies go, Warner Bros. has a long and proud history of pulling crap from the jaws of victory. -

Never seen any of her work, so I can't really judge her acting, but going purely from the photo, I could see it. -
Can a comic series this full of cliches, over-used tropes and in which literally every character is a "pastiche" of other existing characters REALLY be called "Ground Breaking?" Then again, we are talking Bob Kirkman, whose only claim to fame is rehashing the EXACT same zombie story EVERYONE has been telling since Romero in '68.

Just ordered the Splinter vs. Baxter set from Target's website. Hopefully, it'll be here Tuesday as scheduled. I could've picked it up at one of my local stores, but the 8 inches of snow still melting on most of the streets around here make that option . . . problematic. Hopefully, I'll find this set as easy.

John Wesley Shipp To Appear As 'Golden Age Flash' On DC's Stargirl
mako replied to Outsiders's topic in Entertainment News
From the first moment I saw the JSA was gonna have a major role in Stargirl I hoped they'd find a way to do this. Well played CW!* * Never thought I'd be able to say that again. -

I'm just the opposite. Except for the Target Turtles I couldn't care less about Neca, but I'm COMPLETELY attached to this franchise.- 39 replies

These would've gone great with those ridiculously awesome playsets Palisades did back in the day.

New NECA 7" The Defenders of the Earth Wave 1 Figures In-Hand Images
mako replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
I've been saying that all along. The really crazy thing though, is Neca ALSO classifies those animated and gaming TMNTs as "7 inch scale," so it could go either way. Pretty sure these will be in true 7 inch, but until I see some in-hand comparison shots, I'll remain hopeful.- 39 replies

As much as I dislike Walmart's shipping practices, I like BBTS' scalper mark-up even less. I'd just as soon wait till they hit brick-n-mortar.- 39 replies

I usually try not to dwell on what I didn't get, but yeah, not getting the Defiant was one of the great disappointments of my life. The Mobile Command Center comes up a distant second.

Netflix's Pacific Rim: The Black - Official Teaser
mako replied to Outsiders's topic in Entertainment News
Sadly, this is turning into a growing trend with Netflix. Snag a played-out franchise, and "expand the story" with a generic, torture porny anime.- 9 replies

Netflix's Pacific Rim: The Black - Official Teaser
mako replied to Outsiders's topic in Entertainment News
Okay, I get the old "Young Heroes Pilot Found Mecha" is one of the more popular tropes in anime/manga, and I've only seen the first Pacific Rim (and that was a while back), but I'm pretty sure Jaegerss didn't work like that.- 9 replies

Toys "R" Us Closes Its Two U.S. Stores A Year After Opening

Another victim of bad timing. Reaction to Covid is crippling businesses left and right. Just so happens THIS business was in the early stages of its rebirth . . . now a funeral. -
TNI Editorial - State Of The Hobby 2021 - F#@% Target And Walmart
mako replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Working retail is probably a lot like being a cop (danger to life and limb not withstanding). You do your job the best you can, help where you can, but because of the job you do, people are gonna dump on you. Usually, for no reason.- 16 replies

TNI Editorial - State Of The Hobby 2021 - F#@% Target And Walmart
mako replied to JayC's topic in Action Figure News
Not that I'm defending Walmart, but it's real easy to say "You're doing it wrong," from the other side of a computer screen. Fact is, things aren't great for anybody right now. But, you know, feel free to complain. I'm sure all those poor b-----ds working retail are just thrilled to hear the constant winning of grown-up men who can't find their toys. It's not like they're trying to keep up with lunatics hoarding toilet paper and hand sanitizer, not to mention making sure true necessities like food and medicine are there when we need them.- 16 replies
