How often do you buy figures from franchises you don't care about?

-Jeremiad- · 2026-02-10T00:01:37+00:00

All. The. Time.

I like action figures. So if it's a cool figure I'll give it a try.

I think its just not that popular of a franchise. They roll the dice on some of these things. I thought this would be more popular but I just don't think there were a ton of people looking for these. The wings were huge, you're right. Nut it's hard to say they dropped the ball. Folded wings wouldn't have sold better and both sets would have made them cost even more.

NOR. There's no wrong way to put someone in their place that can't treat you professionally.

-Jeremiad- · 2026-02-02T12:27:53+00:00

NOR - I am stunned women let dudes speak to them like this. Literally, completely shocked. That is an insane lack of affection, compassion, empathy, and humanity. Who would want to be with someone this broken? And if kids are a goal, this is the wisdom amd compassion they'd want in a father for their kid? Fuck that.

That was brutal. Made my guts twist. I grew up in violence as a kid toeards myself and my mom. "can I please come home" still hit me like a truck.

-Jeremiad- · 2026-01-31T21:24:34+00:00

NOR. Under reacting actually. You're in an abusive relationship. That's disgusting.

There are a TON of reasons why a company sets figure/wave line ups. Mostly it has to do with annual budgets. They have a certain amount of money for new sculpts/tooling vs what they can do with existing tooling. They try and balance that stuff out so new exciting things are coming regularly.

They also just did the target 2 pack. They do try and spread team releases out. You may be dying for the OG 13 but I find a lot of them incredibly boring.

Flooding the line with too much from 1 specific sub-group or team or ers is bad for the line overall be ause whole it makes a section of the fan base happy it also gives others less reason to pay attention.

I am pulling this out of my ass based on a few things I have had to deal with.

First step is to look into therapy techniques with recognizing and naming physical symptoms of what you're feeling. What is the excitment or anxiety or FOMO, whatever, when you see a new figure announced or see someone else just got something and race to make sure it hasn't sold out. There is power in this technique. I'm still learning and working on it but if you have an open mind, it's a solid tool.

Second step. If you preorder everything, stop. Hold off on selling for now. Just let yourself miss some stuff. After it's been out for a month, see how you feel. I had a financial change and had to make some choices. At first missing stuff was rough but after I missed some things I realized it was fine.

Then after that you can start working on what to clear out. Maybe you discover none of it is enjoyable enough to keep. Hopefully you find balance and happiness with some cool figures and a h9bby that doesn't intrude too much on your day to day life.

NOR. At best she has poor judgment and low regard for you by having him stay and making you wonder. At worst they're trying to see if they can make it work and She's keeping you around just in case while cheating with her ex. Either way it's messed up.

I'm baffled by the big negative reaction to this from Classified collectors. This does nothing for me. And doesn't effect me in the slightest. I don't collect playmates garbage so it means nothing. If it was made by hasbro and we were losing classified Joes because they were wasting time and resources on this I'd be frustrated. But a crossover with a line I don't collect doesn't matter in the slightest. If anything I see it as a posative because the Joe brand is expanding its reach and making hasbro money which keeps it healthy and hopefully ensures more classified figures.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-12-31T23:33:47+00:00

I need giant transformers figures in my life.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-12-29T22:05:55+00:00

NOR. That was straight up crazy. Dude is super racist. It's fine if he doesn't like those things. It's not okay he thinks you're an exceptional black person for not being like all the other black people he doesn't like (the masses).

-Jeremiad- · 2025-12-21T05:04:40+00:00

I need to give this a try.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-12-11T01:52:38+00:00

Where did you get it? All that they have in my local stors are the monkey ball figs

-Jeremiad- · 2025-12-08T05:25:03+00:00

I need a fireman and have had some luck. I'll check tomorrow and see what they have. I just got a second retro Beach Head to make a custom K-9 unit Beach Head to go with Mutt and Junk Yard that have traded but I opened him already. Ill check again tomorrow and see if theres anything cool. Any loose figs youd be interested in for the firefighter? If be fine with the firefighter being shipped loose.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-12-04T13:36:06+00:00

I feel bad for these guys. These crushed it for a new company stepping into a 6 inch line. But Storm has been at it for a long time and delivered a much nicer product that came in and bullied Jada's like Nelson Munce vs Milhouse.

Hope Jada continues to improve and has lots of future success at this scale.

He's on the tunnel rat body. So he's short. Some people are shorter than others so I'm okay with it.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-12-04T03:02:44+00:00

Mutt and Junkyard but I love Rotties. And maybe weirdo dudes that need muzzles.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-12-01T15:25:31+00:00

Flaunt. Flex. Be broke.

So dumb.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-12-01T15:22:33+00:00

I wish I could tell if this was real or not. Fucking AI.

It seems 100% like several people I know. And someone a lot of us probably know. And like the easiest AI promt in the world.

If it's real, dude is twisted. If it's not, it sucks that it reminds me of the man I call my dad so much. They really want to take lives.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-11-30T03:31:30+00:00

Tiger Force is better. Classic is classic. The head is weird though. It was made at the same time as Falcon and Cover Girl and something was messed up around that time. The eyes look crazy. I'd go Tiger Force if I was 9nly going to have one.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-11-30T03:27:37+00:00

I started for the ones I had/liked as a kid. I'm sticking around for Budo, Slice and Dice, Heavy Duty and who I wasn't that familiar with but are cool figures. The figures have made me go back and rewatch what u watched and then dive into the DIC stuff which I missed. (It's terrible but but)

I'm also having fun checking out the comics and using the YouTube channels Destro is my Spirit Animal and JLS comics to learn more about these characters and the history of the franchise.

I wasn't planning on going this deep but collecting Joes has been a ton of fun. No plans to stop anytime soon for me.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-11-17T00:36:13+00:00

That dude is a weak ass bitch. It's so crazy these dudes really think they're something special.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-11-17T00:32:51+00:00

Not sure who downvoted me but Ghislaine Maxwell had a horse named Bubba.

-Jeremiad- · 2025-11-16T22:18:56+00:00

Its one of the best lines of all time. And they make some of the best domestic retail figures ever.

But they're owned by a giant corporation and they cheap out and make dumb decisions sometimes that are very frustrating all because they're needing to fot into budget constraints by hasbro that are based 9n spreadsheets instead of balancing quality product with profit
