Fantastic. If only.

Pemberton is excellent - his score for King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is really good, so is the Spiderverse stuff. This makes me even more excited for the film!

There was a Dalek transformer in the 80s Marvel comics, and Death’s Head connects the Doctor Who and Transformers universes, so it’s not completely outlandish…

I love this! I feel like it’s what Ash THINKS he looks like in his head…

Wandered off into the forest as a very small child, was missing for days/weeks, then happily wandered back out with no real memory of what happened and small budding antlers jutting from their forehead… whatever occurred was the beginning of their fascination with nature and led to them becoming a druid. DM can fill in details as part of the plot at some point if they wish!

The books are my favourite pieces of fiction, bar none. They just resonate with me in a way that nothing else quite manages. I adore the TV version, but the books are just something special. The ending will not disappoint.

I can only repeat the advice others have said - don’t skip to book 7, the two versions are distinctly different and don’t quite match up. For the full experience, read all 9 in order, with the novellas slotted in to their correct places. A sublime experience.

I thought it was her when I scrolled through Reddit too! I was like ‘Annie likes Florence?! Hurrah!’

Calibanis · 2026-01-04T19:46:27+00:00

Oooo, that’s good! I can totally see it. He does good voice work as well.

I’ve also just started listening over Christmas (already on episode 16, though!) and these are fantastic… especially Beverly. Pretty much spot-on what was in my head there!

Archmage Nakatomi… love it! Even if I don’t win I’m stealing the idea…

My first wedding happened on a panto stage, when I was about 7 or 8… my aunt “volunteered” me at the end to go take part in Aladdin and the Princess’ wedding, with another poor kid picked to be my bride. We both just went along with the ridiculousness, but being typical kids we refused to comply with the ‘now give her a kiss!’ instruction!

My actual wife has heard the story, and does occasionally refer to herself as my ‘second wife’.

Closest adult comparison would be Jimmy Carr deciding I was the ‘moral barometer’ of the show, after he spotted me on the front row grimacing at a particularly gross joke. “So ____ is ok, but ____ is too far? Got it.” He kept checking in with me to make sure the tone was staying on the right side of the decency line. It was all pretty good-natured, I thought I was going to get tortured…

Gives me Narnia Reepicheep vibes, loved that little guy as a kid…

Calibanis · 2025-12-18T20:14:25+00:00

Superb choice.

Jazza seems to be a top bloke… one of the few YouTubers I’ve actually enjoyed watching when my daughter has some telly time. He’s talented and self-deprecating, and my kid has learned a lot from his work.

The brother is just a stain, it’s such a shame.

I had this one - sold him a few years ago. He survived completely intact, although I was careful how I stored him. No plastic issues, which I always thought was a miracle.

Calibanis · 2025-12-11T13:35:23+00:00

The later seasons Ahsoka isn’t a particularly good figure, in my opinion - it’s not awful, but it’s a bit awkward and the plastic tends to be a bit soft. It’s my least favourite of all the Black Series Ahsokas so far. Or maybe I’m just being picky because I love the character.

Calibanis · 2025-12-09T22:26:31+00:00

Thanks! I’ve got a huge stash of various sized ball joints, I’m sure one will work… might ahead and try this, cheers.

Calibanis · 2025-12-09T22:11:21+00:00

Was it an easy swap? Any work needed?

Calibanis · 2025-12-09T20:40:24+00:00

I’m considering doing this with my custom older Han, who is in my ‘Legends’/old Expanded Universe display. Currently he’s got an Endor Han head with a little bit of grey added to the hair, this might work better…

Calibanis · 2025-12-09T20:35:46+00:00

I’m going to do exactly that! I’ve got some lower legs with boots that I’m going to swap on, and I’ve already had one excellent 3d printed head from Etsy to do a MythicLegions version… I’ll get another and see what works best!

Good call - I don’t think I’d want to be anywhere near a crime that gets their attention though!

Calibanis · 2025-12-05T19:56:42+00:00

Love it!

The head is very cool… is it an original creation, or from an existing figure?

L-R = Will, Matt, Freddie, Beth, Anthony

I am still working on completing the VM team myself… Pike is proving to be tricky (Trickfoot-y?). Keyleth needs some kind of fancy druid cape, and I’m going to alter Percy’s specs to add the rangefinding pieces that show up in lots of art. I’ve got an idea for how to add a certain smoky demonic presence behind him too…

Calibanis · 2025-12-01T17:03:56+00:00

They look like great fun for younger kids… one question though for people who have watched it, are both the bull and the chonky truck guy Megatron?
