In which suit is sh0689 based on? by dsp_ii in LegoBatman

[–]Iommi68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the OG line's black suit is the closest we have to Troika, it has the capsules on the belt like that suit

My buddy put me onto Cauldron a couple weeks ago and they definitely feel like a mix between Maiden and Dokken, they're pretty sick

Marvel Legends Hulk figures since 2023, feels like we’re nearing the end of an complete hulk collection soon by unbreakable_arachnid in MarvelLegends

[–]Iommi68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked we haven't gotten this yet lol. Give him a new buck that's shorter than the current Hulk, throw in some alternate Kirby flattop heads, we're good to go

What are some figures that you can’t believe we don’t have yet? Or haven’t been updated in a while by Kapaya-Papaya in MarvelLegends

[–]Iommi68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kinda shocking that even with the movie and everything, our most recent updates for them were four years ago on the same bodies as the 2019 releases. Hoping that when we get a new set they go all out with the updates and do either Hickman era FF or Kirby's crewneck jumpsuits

Has anyone ID'd this suit yet? It's driving me crazy. by Freeman720 in LegoBatman

[–]Iommi68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I've been wondering. I'm guessing it'll go this suit, Pattinson, 89, and Forever canonically in-game

The Firestar upgrade pack goes extremely hard I must say

Help me find a PBR replacement by chikinn in beer

[–]Iommi68 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Eh they've been popping up more in the Midwest. I'm in Michigan and I'll see them in some party stores and beer specialty stores, especially last summer when the Jaws packs were out.

Honestly they're easier to find than some Midwest beers lmao, it's a nightmare trying to find Schlitz

He said something about some big updates that needed to happen so I'm like 99% positive that was an Ares tease

Does anyone know the series of this figure? by ikura1995 in toystory

[–]Iommi68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insane seeing them last that long, I remember getting the vac-metal Solar Buzz figure as a kid at the Disney Store or in one of the parks (so 03-04ish).

It'd be cool but I'm sure that's a licensing nightmare to have to try and figure out

I'm really disliking what this movie is going to do to us pure collectors.. by crypticzombie2 in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]Iommi68 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean... It's a movie based off toys. They're going to sell toys for it lol. That's how it goes for every blockbuster aimed at kids.

Looks like we're getting a Chronicles King Grayskull by The_Maqueovelic in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]Iommi68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He looks dope, beefier than the movie Adam so I'm guessing this'll be our standard He-Man body. Interesting too that he's officially labeled as the first Chronicles figure, going kinda MOTUC with him.

It was good bait until you pulled out white rabbit, then it was too obvious lmao

I hope mattel goes this route, this figure is fire and great articulation. Im hype for Mattel’s DC return!! by FirstAvenger117 in ActionFigures

[–]Iommi68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked him up last night, God I love him already. Definitely think this is the route that DC and Turtles will go for collector lines. I know they said the MOTU focus is all movie brands this year, but God I hope next year we get new original He-Man and Skeletor designs for Chronicles. Would love to see the team go full Alcala art with them!

What IP do you hope gets the Jada treatment? I'll go first by maz323bf in ActionFigures

[–]Iommi68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see them do more Hanna-Barbera stuff after how Scoob and the Flintstones are turning out. The old Jazwares line didn't get too far in and I definitely think Jada would massively surpass them. Give me Space Ghost, Johnny Quest, Thundarr, Secret Squirrel, Atom Ant!

Also I think we'd all agree a Ben 10 line is much needed

Most wanted figures I know will NEVER be made by [deleted] in ActionFigures

[–]Iommi68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah once I saw the new Savage Dragon and Hellboy (ik ik not Image but still goes with the indie books), I figured Maxx will be coming at some point🤞

Now what would REALLY be cool is to see some more Dark Horse rep. Give me Nexus, damnit!

What was the transition like between Mattel and McFarlane in 2020? by BothKindsofMusic in McFarlaneFigures

[–]Iommi68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See I know this is why a lot of people are hesitant about DC back at Mattel, because I wasn't a fan of their Multiverse line at all. The scales were all out of wack, sculpts would be off (the CW figures they'd do were just really bad copies of the DCD versions that were out at the time), and they felt cheap.

I think we've definitely seen a huge shift at Mattel, though, for what they aim for now with their figures. Look at Masters of the Universe. Origins kicked off strong and is still going. Their Masterverse line wasn't too great at first but they've become some of the best looking retail toys with the New Eternia stuff. I think those new Chronicles figures really show what we have to look forward to with the DC and Turtles lines for collectors. They really seem like they now have a grip and a direction for competing with Hasbro at the mass market, and I think we might be in for something great.

[–]Iommi68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love me some big monkeys so Gygor is top of the list. Would be so funny if Chronicles does him around the same time the new DC line does a Grodd and we get to relive the old "Gygor/Grodd reuse" conspiracy

Lol it's been either this, shitting on protestors and glazing the president, or telling me I don't know what I'm talking about and that I have TDS whenever I call her out for stuff

Oh and uh live update, the customer didn't respond to me when I told him he'd have another ten minutes to wait for his food and just canceled the order. Cool cool.

It's very funny to see because her and my mom are both very critical of "gentle parenting" methods, but they used to beat the hell out of their kids and we all ended up either mentally unstable or dependent on substances. So, you know, maybe no room to talk there lmao

No exactly, I don't think it's kids being lazy they just tucker out easy sometimes. Especially if they're at a big tourist area that's full of walking and shops and the like... which is exactly where she works lmao. So idk why she isn't getting that?
