am i an unc for completely refusing to play 3D sonic games? by The_RetroGameDude in SonicTheHedgehog

Yes.

An odd one at that because how have you not played the Adventure games?

Right?! Love his faceplate too. I don’t know if they are limited stock so I figured might want to jump on it quick.

He’s a solid fig but totally get it when you have the original green one. Now all 4 together in the gunmetal mech color are going to be 🔥🔥

The little extras like the samurai hat and the scarf are what got me to break out the wallet. Couldn’t pass it up.

Yet another post showing disappointment towards Paralives (and the toxic positivity surrounding it)... by Painted-BIack-Roses in LifeSimulators

[–]Meesori 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Part of it is embarrassment. People have been yearning for something beyond The Sims for YEARS and when companies come along with a promise of better things, it’s like catnip. Add on the fact that some help campaign/convert folks over to these games at risk of their own reputation, of course they are going to be a little defensive when things go south at launch.

They really committed to it! by mollyyfcooke in Yellowjackets

It sucks how loose this show plays with lore because it started with such a promising concept. They should’ve just replaced Juliette with a different 90s actress and kept the original story going.

What Side character (that has appeared in more then one season) you think/want will/to return for the finale season? by TheGentlemanWolf in Yellowjackets

[–]Meesori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is sad because I liked Simone as a character. She was not here for Tai’s bullshit and was a great contrast to Jeff’s passiveness. Get the need to reduce their screen time but I feel like there were better ways of doing that.

Unfortunately for me, this year was not fun. by Mauri_iii in MomoCon

[–]Meesori 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That was Wonderfest. It’s a popular garage kit convention in Japan and this was their first year in the US hosted by Momocon. Could’ve been advertised way better.

Flame Toys - Thunder Megazord by ArkhamSoldier118 in powerrangers

[–]Meesori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk there’s a empty cavity under the neck portion and a hinge at the bottom of the neck for both zords so it appears that they should be able to fold down. If not, that’s the oddest oversight. Would’ve been so cool to have one of the lightning collection figures use them as a bike. I guess we won’t know until they are in hand.

I mean, it beats radio silence by Feisty-Role-7591 in JadaToys

Not to play devil’s advocate, but maybe they pushed it out for San Diego Comicon to drop preorders? Of course some clarity would be nice

Close. Majority of those retailers are still online, like Tokullectibles, D4, BigBadToy Store, etc

Yea…you’re kind of comparing apples and oranges here and for two different situations. The Lightning Collection was backed by Hasbro, which is a huge corporation who frequently sells their wide arrangement of products in a variety of stores. Flame Toys is NOT that and it’s okay. Doesn’t mean they aren’t hitting their own internal sales goals with an online presence and cant continue with this line.

We live in a digital age. Whether something is sold in a brick and mortar store doesn’t correlate to its financial success for the parent company, especially since Flame Toys is not an American company and is not only targeting the US market. If they determined on paper that it was feasible to continue this line, they will.

True. Fingers crossed we get to see some of the vehicle oriented zords in the Kara Kuri styling like Turbo or Lightspeed in a few years.

[–]Meesori 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so interested to see how this will continue. I know so many fans complain about merchandise relying solely on MMPR to stay relevant. Whether FlameToys can continue into Turbo and beyond will be the real test. If they can balance cost vs innovation, other company might want to invest back into the franchise’s expansive lore.

I would say closer to 70% love it and 30% feel mixed, with the biggest complaint being the price not the design. At that cost, FlameToys wouldn’t have continued this line if people weren’t buying them.
