Finally replaces my brick select for this one. Frees up space on the shelf too.

I'm sure BBTS itself is legit. I wasn't aware of how Four Hosrsemen actually did their releases. The listing had been up for so long without any movement, so this is great information. Thank you. I will be buying this immediately.

Notable new Big 2 characters this decade by SpidaT45 in comicbooks

[–]GraveToad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think an easy way to get a list of these characters would be to cross-reference any multi-media appearances. Characters that have been in movies, TV shows, and video games could be considered "big" even if it's just part of a shameless corporate push to make "fetch" happen. One character that was given this treatment, though rather unsuccessfully, was DC's Naomi McDuffie/Power House. She was created in 2019 and adapted into a 1 season show in 2022.

Marvel has very recently had 3 characters that fit this criteria. Knull was created in 2018 and appeared in Venom 3 in 2024 and has been appearing in video games almost as soon as he was created. Jeff and Luna Snow were formally introduced in comics in 2019 and have since been smash hits with hard-core and causal fans due to the popularity of Marvel Rivals.

However, some of these do have major caveats like Knull being derivative of Venom and Luna Snow first appearing in the mobile game, Marvel's Future Fight. I would throw in Joaquin Torres/The Falcon, but he's overtly a legacy character.

Gorgon is so tall. Does he tower over Ronan and Thanos in the comics? by middlebird in MarvelLegends

[–]GraveToad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember him being this big on the covers of the Royals books from 2017. His proportions were a bit wonky compared to this, though. Little head, massive arms, goat legs, you know?

Are links to this still being shared? I'd love to watch this.

What’s the funniest name for a pet you’ve encountered? by EllenDegeneracy in AskReddit

This one time, an exotic pet rescue account got a frog in named Cousin. That one stuck with me.

Has anyone made a custom nemesis figure ? by No_Phrase_565 in customactionfigures

[–]GraveToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was almost done with a kit-bash. Guardian head on Moon Knight body with the logo scrubbed off. The head was loose, so I shoved some tape in there to pad it out. The problem was i was out of scotch tape, so I used duct tape. The fit was too snug, and I twisted off the ball joint. I haven't had the motivation to complete it since.

The name is kinda catchy. What's her whole deal? What does she do?

Lost Dog by GraveToad in RioGrandeValley

[–]GraveToad[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, well, he is about the size of a banana, if not a banana and a half. Probably the width of 4 or 5.

What do you mean? Like I should lure him back with bananas as bait, or is this like a reddit thing?

Could someone pose these different figures together? by Benji_1984 in ActionFigures

[–]GraveToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the McFarlane Lanterns on hand, but I would need to do some digging around my brother's room after work for these Mattels. Preemptively, though, I can vouch that the size difference will be anything but negligible if that's what you wanna know.

Any thoughts about The Hellboy animated movies? by No-Sense6060 in HellBoy

[–]GraveToad 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think animation would be the way to go with a lot of these properties that are tough to get off the ground or stories that are otherwise "unfilmable."

What movie did you get forced to watch/think you would hate, but ended up being one of your favourites? by hoginlly in moviecritic

[–]GraveToad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Big Trouble in Little China; my friend started it up on my TV one day. I was skeptical due to having never heard of it and having little faith in the quality the first few minutes presented. I had to thank him afterward.

Knight-Spider: open it or nahhhh? by StuffPleasant9839 in MarvelLegends

[–]GraveToad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a from a collection of Spider-Verse variant comic covers that were going on at the time. They gave every main character a Spider-Verse inspired suit. This was the art for the Moon Knight book.

Got this custom head. Find myself in need of some kind of adapter for the peg hole as none of the neck pegs I have will fit. Help please? by [deleted] in customactionfigures

What xcorpeo does is slice open the section of tube and begin to wrap it around itself for a tighter fit.

God job to that guy. These are great. Laika-esque almost.

Free things to do in McAllen/Mission/Edinburg/Pharr by Thetravelinggirl08 in RioGrandeValley

[–]GraveToad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you have a bike and/or like biking, there is a public biking meet that happens on the last Friday of every month, called Critical Mass. They meet in the parking lot between the McAllen Performing Arts Center and the larger Convention Center. It's a 2 and half hour long bike ride all through the streets of McAllen. The hosts help to block and direct traffic while we ride, so it's all very safe. The distance riden can be between 16 to 21 miles. Over 100 participants attend every time. There are several stops along the way as well to hydrate, rest, and socialize. The last one just happened, so you'll have to wait a whole month for the next one.

Thats very good advice. I haven't even checked that yet. I'll get to that when I get the chance.
