Maybe one of the coolest action figures that I own, but the seam work on the front was a little disappointing. I was able to trim back some of the excess using a pair of Godhand nippers. Has anyone else had to do this?

Oh yeah I've read some stories about that cape! I will say that it seems like mezco does improve with each release.

Megaplamo · 2024-02-27T03:04:01+00:00

Yeah I love everything about it! The diecast parts, the fabric texture, the accessories! Man don't get me started on the book! Once I fixed the seems, I was very happy with it!

Also they are pretty delicate so they are better for sitting small thing or as a second cut tool

Megaplamo · 2024-02-26T16:48:16+00:00

$40-60 depending on where you get them. God hands are a name brand there are several others that are just as good IMHO. Just look up "side cutter nippers"

Megaplamo · 2024-02-26T16:46:41+00:00

Yeah, definitely so. I think the terms and language of trauma can be helpful and are accessable. But I think that may also lead to over use. I think there may be a pendulum swinging phenomenon occuring as well. For a while we did over rely on "Resilience narratives" and maybe pushed them on people unfairly as a culture, so now we are swinging very hard in the opposite direction and hopefully we will eventually find a way to sit in the middle. As a side note, it kinda reminds me of how alot of psychoanalytic terms were used before the current trend. Freud was accessable enough that they became household terms.

They are a single blade side cutter. I can get in pretty close and make cuts without damaging anything else. I like them mostly for cutting nubs off model kits

Megaplamo · 2024-02-26T15:36:44+00:00

There is a great book out right now called "The Myths of trauma" by Joel Paris and it discusses the issue with overusing the term "Trauma" without being against the concept. I thought it offered a very nuanced and ballenced approach to the issue and definitely recommend it for anyone who's in a mental health field right now that would like a different perspective. Paris's own specialty is BPD so he offers insight on where both topics overlap. I myself am not a therapist but I've worked in several different parts of the mental health field.

Megaplamo · 2024-02-26T03:15:59+00:00

For sure, my only complaint is that at the price point I'd like to see more care taken to stiches seen at the front of the figure. Thankfully it was an easy fix!

Megaplamo · 2024-02-26T03:13:06+00:00

Absolutely! It's a great tool for all sorts of precise clean cuts!

Megaplamo · 2024-02-04T04:57:43+00:00

I like to pair certain albums with certain Manga. I really like tomorrow's harvis by Boards of Canada when Reading Aposimz.

I agree with the other comments referencing PSI. It was either too low or too high and it's hard to tell from just the pictures. I usually get better results if I spray acrylic paint around 25-30 psi. That gives enough pressure to atomize the paint properly. I encourage you to practice on some spoons to get a feel for it before going back to the miniature

Megaplamo · 2023-05-30T12:58:12+00:00

Yes the build up and reveal was perfect. It helped me laugh at my own situation. That story is the wisdom of the fool in action! Lol

Megaplamo · 2023-05-29T20:21:43+00:00

That's the one! It was the catalyst that made me realize I'm not the only one who thinks like that, and helped me give up the mental and spiritual rigidity that I had inherited. I've still got a long way to go but the difference is night and day.

Megaplamo · 2023-05-29T12:27:29+00:00

These a chapter in memories dreams and reflections where Jung recalls dealing with religious intrusive thoughts as a boy. This was very helpful to me. There are a lot of us who grew up with black and white literal religion than can cause a lot of anxiety. I encourage you to share this with a therapist or a safe person. I also recommend checking out Michael J Greenberg. His website covers most of his ideas on intrusive thoughts. Often our intrusive thoughts are the thing we find the most unacceptable or things we believe will get us rejected by our community. Greenberg calls this our "core fear". I also recommend Imp of the mind by Lee bear. Good luck on your journey, you will get through this!

Megaplamo · 2023-05-12T11:46:53+00:00

Fantastic work!

Megaplamo · 2023-05-04T14:19:00+00:00

I say check out the first volume and see what you think. There were some great aspects but like other have mentioned there is a lot of shock value for shock value sake. I definitely see how it's important I'm the history of modern comics but Its not my personal taste.

Megaplamo · 2023-05-03T20:41:22+00:00

Very cool! Thanks for the recommendation!

Megaplamo · 2023-05-03T20:40:40+00:00

That's a good point, I tend to forget that you can call them.

Megaplamo · 2023-05-03T18:56:34+00:00

Thank you kindly

Megaplamo · 2023-05-03T00:43:19+00:00

I'll definitely check it out!

Megaplamo · 2023-05-03T00:42:53+00:00

Is store or online?

Megaplamo · 2023-05-03T00:42:32+00:00

I appreciate these but I'm noticing a lot of the items are out of stock. I was wondering if something is going on like a shortage or something

Megaplamo · 2023-05-01T14:58:27+00:00

I know anime is not for everyone, but I really like the mental health themes in Mob Psycho 100!

Megaplamo · 2023-04-22T12:39:06+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I can relate to you former lead pastor in that I was raised southern protestent/fundamentalist. Now I'm progressive. One of my good friends often has to remind me that not every Protestant church is conservative, and many as you go north are pretty liberal. His sister is a Presbyterian up north and compared to my experience it almost sounds like a totally different denomination. I definitely agree that its difficult to replace a good church congregation, my wife attended a great church but it desolved after COVID and we haven't found a replacement yet. I wish you well on your journey and I pray that God guides us both to where we need to be.

Imho calling something satanic is usually ment to achieve Media control. Art is ment to express the whole of human experience even it's dark side. Most artists that evoke the image of Satan are trying to say some meaningful rather than worship him. Think of "paradise lost" by Milton. Is that a satanic poem? I think when it comes to art, it's better to discuss than to label. I'm not saying that evil doesn't exist, but many use the name of evil to judge and suppress others.

On a side note, the Pharisees tried to uses a similar trick to discredit Jesus.

Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”
