  1. I’m surrounded by del tacos, but no Taco Bell close enough to avoid soggy tacos by the time I get home. For me when I did go, it was the Doritos tacos
  2. I saw the above referring to the ps5 problem and to be honest, I have to thank the scalpers. If they didn’t make it so difficult to get the new system I probably would still be stuck playing video games all day. I actually gave up completely on them and I really feel much happier. I’ve been guilty of buying some items from resellers at collectors shows here and there, but mostly for items I didn’t have the money to buy when they were originally released. I do have my limits on price and I will not go above and beyond for most items. I think the example right now has been the hg nightingale kit. It’s a damn hg kit. There’s only gonna be a temporary shortage. That kit is gonna get more rereleases just like every other main kit from Bandai that sells well, like the mg Barbados. Now you can find that kit at just about anywhere
  3. Just because Teela is currently the main character doesn’t necessarily make this a woke agenda cartoon. It’s a change up for sure, but it’s really not that big a deal. To be honest He Man is kinda a boring character anyway. He’s a kids cartoon hero that can never do wrong and has no real flaws other than being weak in his normal life. He’s overpowered and kinda boring. I don’t hate him, but I don’t mind a refocus.
  4. Even in the old cartoon we were introduced to him as the guy that got stuck behind the wall while a radioactive gas flooded his escape route and he still finished the job by escaping the caves and a giant bear while glowing from the radiation. That’s the kind of character I wanted to see, instead of the a-hole we got in the movie.
  5. The green knight is all about stoner humor. It’s like a prequel to your highness.
  6. Nice. He needs a cartoon too. I saw the one on YouTube and enjoyed it. I would like to see a great animated series for Dredd with a wild style of animation. It looks like they are going with the comic designs on these figures.
  7. I really don’t feel that the shift in characters was a bad thing. Smith said over a month ago that this would focus on a female character and I think he even named Teela. Honestly I like the change. My problem is the writing and the voices. I’ll probably finish the show soon and have more to judge. But I don’t think it’s a show to really go out of your way to watch and isn’t necessarily deserving of absolute hate.
  8. A real scale castle grey skull would be bigger than a sofa and just be an absolute nightmare in an 80’s satanic panic era parents living room.
  9. As far as I can remember, for his original origin he was a special ops soldier back in the Vietnam war that had an accident with explosives that messed up his face and vocal chords. He had plastic surgery but still had some scaring and couldn’t talk anymore. As far as the new one, he’s just the worst person ever. This movie suffers from being attached to an existing franchise. If this were a stand alone movie that removed everything about G.I. Joe, this would have been a good film. It’s kinda like how if Solo wasn’t about Solo or any other established characters, it would have been far more enjoyable. The Joe stuff is everything that doesn’t work in this movie. The action scenes are cheesy, but not bad and most of the training stuff is fun other than the weird snake stuff. Overall I’m surprised that I didn’t hate this blasphemous movie.
  10. I’m happy with the animated series. I think a love action one would’ve just been lost in the shuffle. As far as a movie, it does have potential
  11. Honestly, I think everyone was expecting a lot more out of the original series or something. The first episode really does the most perfect job of recapping the og series. There were no major things happening, just a fun show that advertised cool toys with some bad sound work. Normal people having a good day, Skeletor attacks, Adam becomes He Man and Abe’s the day. It was very simple. In just about every preview and interview it was stated that this was a direct sequel and not a reboot. And for better or worse that really seems to be what we got. Some silly designs that make a good kids toy and super cheesy dialogue with surprisingly bad acting. I’ve only watched the first 2 episodes and I think what I’m really disappointed by is the simplistic storytelling and the voice acting. For having all these star actors, very few are tolerable. Teela is the worst. She got all buff over the years and only has this weird kid sounding voice. Many of the others feel out of place as well, but maybe that’s a nod to the old filmation crappy sound.
  12. It’s free to watch and I haven’t heard a good reason to check it out yet
  13. I’ve been to the theaters a few times this year. I think the first one we checked out was Nobody. I actually enjoy paying that extra to get out of the house and make a day of the movies. I’ll probably check this one out on the big screen rather than sit at home. 2020 made me sick of home and I’m glad to be out and about. Going to the O.C. Fair tomorrow to make up for lost time eat some horrible food that I’ll regret later
  14. Looks like they included the helmet. Now to see if it’s the standard pilot uniform under the jumpsuit
  15. I can easily see them fit that under that suit, it would make for a great buy, just include the basic headset he had and include the helmet and it’s a 2 in one
  16. For a cloth flight suit , it doesn’t look bad. It would be funny if under the orange flight suit, it had the original figure underneath
  17. Honestly, I didn’t expect they would be. They took a classic character and then got rid of everything to do with that classic character and then put him in a generic ninja movie
  18. Show z store does have some quality stuff, but I don’t know about that particular release.
  19. The white on blue cyclops is the version I’ve always been a fan of since that’s how he appeared in the comics way back when I was reading them. I know the yellow undies version is the one everyone else usually picks since that’s the one that ended up in the cartoon series, but I’ll probably get that older white and blue
  20. I think these should have their own thread. There are some very interesting designs. Like a cross between iron blooded orphans and border break. Even standing stances remind me a bit of dunbine and some unique entries like the one above and even an interesting transport truck. They even appear to have customization options since there are a few plug holes on the arms,shoulders, and back. I hope the show is as good as the designs, because I went all in and preordered the full set of kits.
  21. I have to admit that I preordered the ultimates. I haven’t bought a G.I. Joe figure in a long time. I wasn’t that excited about most of the new ones since they didn’t really have the feel of the classic that I remember and when they came out they were stupid difficult to find. I know those are easier to get now, but the ultimate series may be pricey, but that Snake Eyes is what I remember from the old cartoon and never got as a kid. Even over the years they always try to make him more of a ninja than the comando he was in the original series. The Duke is also spot on as well as the other figures so far. Even the oddball laser looking pistols look like what I remember in the show. I’m old now, so my memory may be fuzzy on that last one though
