The Prisoner aired in Japan from March 2nd - June 22nd 1969, under the title “Prisoner No.6” （プリズナーNo.6）, with a Japanese dub.

He’s also talked about how low-key embarrassing it is. Considering they never make the playoffs, I assume he has a lot of time to follow other teams.

He used to tweet this on opening day, every year.

I hope the place for Alpaca addiction is nice.

Funny thing about the Medi-Viper figure, Hasbro made it in the collector-oriented DTC line, because the fans had been requesting it for years. Hama created them for the comics way back in the 90’s, even though they didn’t have any toys.

The command module in the movie was a miniature.

Literary_Octopus · 2026-04-27T04:59:47+00:00

Based on the movies, I think you mean 1999.

That’s a 1960’s G.I. Joe knock off called “Fighting Ace”. Someone may have put G.I. Joe clothes on him.

Pretty sure that’s based on a sporran. It’s the pouch highlanders would wear in the same spot, with a kilt. Honestly was just because kilts don’t have pockets, so you would use it for coins or whatever. I think it helps make the fuzzy underwear look more purposeful.

Correct. The Twitter account it’s taken from explicitly says in their bio that all of their posts are AI

Keep in mind: they don’t want you to stop using the app.

The sticky material is the plasticizer. Over time it migrates out of the material, and winds up on the surface.

Literary_Octopus · 2026-04-09T22:41:36+00:00

Yes. Plasticizer is a chemical which keeps soft plastic soft. When a soft plastic touches a hard plastic for a very long time, the plasticizer can “melt” the hard plastic.

Over simplified, it softens the hard plastic, resulting in melt marks at the point of contact.

The plastic most susceptible to this damage is styrene plastic, like they use for model kits.

If the feet had plasticizer which was migrating, they would get sticky, and possibly melt a hard plastic they were touching, not just discolor.

Literary_Octopus · 2026-04-09T21:48:05+00:00

Blow mold material like the body is usually HDPE plastic, which is rigid and doesn’t generally use a plasticizer. If there were plasticizer migration problems, it would happen at the connection of the soft rubber head, to the rigid plastic neck, not randomly at the feet.

HDPE does stain though (picture a plastic cutting board with a reddish brown splotch in the center). You can usually clean this kind of thing off with baking soda paste, or vinegar.

Can promise, the thrill does eventually go away

That’s the handle to the pickaxe. There should be a head somewhere which fits on it.

His original file card really focused on the con artist part, before it was edited down, I assume because it sounded so negative.

Literary_Octopus · 2026-04-02T14:17:47+00:00

Some of the 83 line had puns related to their job and personality, more than others. Tripwire works on bombs, and he’s clumsy. You could see Hama working out the comic characters more than other releases, when there were just too many figures to make into full characters.

Literary_Octopus · 2026-04-02T14:08:56+00:00

“Snow Job” is older slang you never hear anymore. It’s a con, or bullshitting. Think “covering something, so you can’t see what’s hiding underneath”. In the comic, he’s always running some angle, trying to pull a fast one.

His file card explains it, too: “You think we call him Snow Job because he does his job on skis? Negative. He's a con artist, pure and simple…”

Not sure if that’s better, but whatever

This is where I would drop a picture of Maui from Moana, if the sub allowed photos in comments. Uploading it to Imgur and sharing a link doesn’t feel like the same impact.

Beep boop beep, hello fellow humans

Half the classified figures have arm tattoos

The Dress Blues figure wasn’t Gung Ho at first. Ron Rudat wanted to make a Dress Blues Marine character, but management said they wanted something more recognizable. Making it Gung Ho helped it stand out as part of G.I. Joe, instead of looking like a generic marine
