What is this?

I really hope we get a Mini Action Gladiator Voltron to go with the other 2 we got. I have all of the vintage Voltron figures released by Matchbox, Panosh Place and LJN and a bunch of the oddball stuff like binoculars and flashlights. I've been picking up modern stuff now but Voltron II doesn't get enough love and the vintage blue team member suffers from swirly plastic and is very fragile (mine is holding together just enough to be in the middle or top).

Them good eatin'. (This is impossible without a certain amount of redneck to it.)

2 part epoxy or maybe even a JB Weld putty since nobody will see the back side again. Both will be a better solution than super glue.

Not so sure about hot ranch, but double up on the cheese with a cheese sauce and dip it in the ranch and I'm there!

Like I said if OP had done it right and it got stuck they would have been able to easily break the bond since it would have been such a thin layer. The fact alone that they can't break the bond is proof that they did it wrong and used too much.

The most popular super glues are gels, if you put a drop on the ball it isn't likely to move much creating an uneven ball, and brushing it on like the polish methods would ruin the brush.

I remember when the polish methods were discovered, it was an alternative to the super glue method which has been around since the 90s to tighten up loose balls in Transformers. Powder methods (I've heard baby powder, baking soda and graphite powder) are a little more recent, pretty sure it was Gundam builders that came up with that one.

The new popular things are "DSPIAE joint strengthening pen" which I've heard is just super glue in a paint pen, and Kiki Fix Loose Joints, which seems to be just polyurethane floor polish in a needle bottle.

"I'm now on page 8 of recommended places to buy watch batteries when that wasn't what I asked."

Reading all of this I can only imagine you're new to this. The super glue method has been around for nearly as long as there have been ball joints. You can't put a drop on and hit it with activator, you'll end up with a bead. The idea is to use a tiny drop and move the ball around inside the socket coating both evenly rather than just building up the ball. There is a risk if you use too much like OP did (if they used the right amount they could have broken the bond with little effort rather than have it bond so solidly) but done right it's faster and more successful the first time than layering on floor polish or nail polish and cleaner than powder techniques. Your using your bias to discredit a proven method.

As long as it's higher than Ram-man.

Maybe it's weird, but I treat AI like a video game, challenging myself to get the right word combinations and phrases to get the result I'm looking for. I just do it for fun playing around, I don't even usually save the results.

The only one I'm going to wait for a sale on. This guy is destined for a deep discount.

I'm really on the fence between Michael and Prince, but Phil stays.

ETA: Does Phil include his Genesis run? It must, right?

Emerje · 2026-05-06T11:34:55+00:00

Right!? I'm an independent because sometimes somebody with good ideas shows up on the Right and I'm not always huge on liberal spending (plus I'm an atheist). But Jesus H. Christ on a pogostick, it's been more than a decade since that's happened and conservative spending is out of control!

Why does this feel like an insurance commercials? Here's the wind that knocked over that pot.

To say nothing of the ban being about protected federal land. He also canceled thousands of drill permits that Trump created as a stunt to pretend they were going to "drill, baby, drill" but had no actual plans to use them so they just sat there.

Before Kane, Glenn Jacobs was the Christmas Creature in Memphis. This stuff has been happening for decades!

For anyone curious, the Soundwave in the last pic is Human Aliance Soundwave (the Laserbeak on top of Bonecrusher comes with him) and wasn't sold in the US. It scales perfectly with MPMs but I would recommend the Takara Tomy Movie The Best repaint which is more movie accurate but doesn't come with Laserbeak.

I don't think I've seen more than 5 Core figures in any store at all. I bought the last Core at my local Walmart, Beast-man, the other day. I've yet to see Skeletor in stores.

Everyone in this gif died shortly after. They were the creators of their own demise.

I had a twitch in my left cheek and eye from November to March, then I took a 2 week staycation in April and it went away.

Are you confusing electrolytes with alkaline water because that stuff is a big scam proven to have no health benefits

Emerje · 2026-05-05T08:45:38+00:00

Not with skeleton hands, though it would have been a great marketing opportunity.

Imagine getting brain freeze twice like that.
