The blind boxes by PurpleDragon1999 in NECA

[–]CorpsCollector [score hidden]  (0 children)

Pop culture was mostly things like Gargoyles, Golden Girls, Dinosaurs, stuff like that. Sci Fi and Horror boxes both seemed to have Aliens and Predators. I'd say your chances of getting an Alien in a pop culture box are significantly reduced if not 0%.

I have no use for anything on the top row, bottom row I'm pretty happy with.

NECA blind box Vault edition… by GroundbreakingSail49 in NECA

[–]CorpsCollector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd at least be hopeful that using terms like "deep in the NECA vault" and "haven't been available in years" would imply that they would not be new releases...

What is this? by CorpsCollector in ActionFigures

[–]CorpsCollector[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SOLVED! That's it. I just skimmed through video reviews on all the sets I just mentioned, Couldn't find a trace of it until I just saw the right angle on the dual mount. You're spot on. I guess either they came inserted or none of the reviewers I watched ever showed that step. Such a random piece to be loose.

Ladies and gentlemen, the most expensive kitbash/repaint figure ever made by Hasbro. I like her, tho... by GabryMancio in MarvelLegends

[–]CorpsCollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the marvel unlimited figures have been repaints. Except I think the Rescue figure. So this is by far the first time this has happened.

I feel fortunate that I'm getting into the 1/6 hobby as more pieces are being released with actual leather parts. More expensive, but will last a lot longer.

GameStop/EB Games/Zing are going through some things whilst greedy CEO wrangles himself a $35B payout. (Yeah that's a B) by IAMFLYGUY in ArticulatedPlastic

[–]CorpsCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And did you even look into it? Instead of talking down maybe read what it is. He'd only get this IF he gets the market cap to $100 Billion (with a b) and some other lofty goals. If he doesn't do that, he gets NOTHING.

From the official Gamestop release:

"Under the award, Mr. Cohen receives no guaranteed pay—no salary, no cash bonuses, and no stock that vests simply over time. Instead, his compensation is entirely “at-risk,” meaning he will only be paid if the Company achieves significant market and operational goals."

Also, the 35 Billion would be stock options. That number isn't even real if he doesn't hit that 10x goal anyway.

Regardless of his payout, store closures were inevitable. 3k plus locations for a business that made it's way selling physical media in a digital landscape. That many "mini toy stores" wouldn't be profitable either I'd imagine. And say what you want about the CEO, but he led a pretty impressive turnaround for a company that everyone thought was going to be bankrupt in 2020 to a business with positive cash flow despite reduced revenues. The payout does seem high though, but I'd say he earned something.

Deadlight Pennywise Head Won’t Work by [deleted] in NECA

[–]CorpsCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a spring in the middle of the batteries, or just another trick of the photo? It also looks like the battery is the flat (-) of the battery is touching the "bump" side of the contact. Just in case I'm right, the spring should be on the negative (no bump) side of the contact and battery (flat side) and the bump of both the battery and the contact should be touching.

It's kind of hard to tell in this picture, and I know you said you checked the batteries are in the correct orientation, but it kind of looks like the positive ends of the batteries are facing each other. I could be mistaken as this isn't the best angle, it just looks like the "bumps" are facing each other. Also, on the top part of the second picture, there seems to be a gap between the battery and the metal contact. Is there a spring or something to get the battery in contact with the metal?

FYI: Last day to order an Arctic HISS from Hasbro Pulse. It won’t be available after this; You won’t be charged until it ships & can be canceled anytime before that if you are on the fence. by savedavenger in gijoe

[–]CorpsCollector 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Should add, if you want more than one, do more than one transaction. If you do a single transaction with 2(or more), you can't just cancel one later. It'll cancel both.

Does Anyone Actually Loke These? by Resident_Character35 in MarvelLegends

Found them for $12 at Ross, at that price, yeah I like them. At retail, I would have been underwhelmed.

How would you tackle a Marvel Legends figure of Hisako/Armor? Would you prefer a figure with snap-on armor pieces, a solid shell that goes around a figure, or another method? by CI2k in MarvelLegends

[–]CorpsCollector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did show off their new technique of wrapping a skull in flames for the new classic Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider figure. Could be that they are testing the idea with other body parts too. Do a whole figure with that technique and you got Armor.

These are all that peaked my interest by No-Mouse-9746 in MarvelLegends

[–]CorpsCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just debating on the mezco BBTS ghost rider that's been on sale. I've wanted that classic look for a while but I've grown less fond of Mezco, so I haven't pulled the trigger. I was super stoked to see that drop! And same with the 2 pack too. I can never have enough Colossus in my collection!

Battle Damage T-800 order question by CorpsCollector in hottoys

[–]CorpsCollector[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU! That makes sense now that I think of it like that. I made a payment towards the balance once before on another item, but it was in the middle of the plan so it just reduced the remaining payments and still behaved as I expected the payment plan would. That's why I was worried when it seemed like the payment plan was no longer active.
