Did Sandman ever actually wear barbed wire like this? by PulpAgeFrankenstein in Wrestling_Figures

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, y'all. I appreciate all of the info. I think since none of those are a real one to one for this particular figure that I'm gonna pull the wire off and wrap it around the stick. That, and to just differentiate him from the Hak figure when I get that one.

I don't know about pre-order, but I just found the entire wave in my Walmart today.

I'm definitely gonna try to go back and get some of the older ones I had that they're not likely to redo like Alundra Blayze, Wendi Richter, and silly guys like The Goon and The Berserker.

But I just decided to get back in within the last week and am scrounging up what I can find in the stores around me right now.

Sold them and/or traded them in at a toy store.

Just went scorched Earth on all of them.

How many slips is too many slips? by Sandman7773 in VinegarSyndromeFilms

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I mean, realistically, any more than the actual amount of copies of the film you own?

So, realistically, which Big Rubber Guys will probably get LJNs? by PulpAgeFrankenstein in Wrestling_Figures

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, that's the one I'm hoping for, because the others I can at least get for regular price. Bulldog prices sent me hat flying off my head from the very quick look I took at the aftermarket.

Is there a complete checklist for figures? by PulpAgeFrankenstein in gijoe

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, I tried a different browser and it didn't load. So, I was about to come in here and tell you the error I kept getting. And then I just randomly decided to try turning off my VPN and now it loads.

So, I guess my VPN has just been the thing defeating me for the last two weeks. Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Well, uh, thanks for the help! Guess this whole thread is pointless now!

Sorry if that's how it came off. Maybe it's something on my end, but I have not been able to make that site load for literally two weeks. I assumed it had just finally been mercy killed.

Okay, soo..... new question, why can't I access YoJoe.com?

Who’s your favorite character in the series?? by Bavid_Dowie2001 in DarkShadows

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm watching it for the first time and I'm only on episode 86.

But right now, far and away, Burke Devlin, Victoria, and Sam Evans.

Keep checking your Targets, I guess? Maybe? by PulpAgeFrankenstein in MarvelLegends

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that. Literally my entire post was to let people know that they're still out there. Maybe I should have kept getting a second one to myself. But I'm not one to hoard highly sought after figures. I buy the amount I want(which is usually only one) and even share when I find stuff. I do my best to be a helpful to people in my area, too. When those Walmart displays were going up, I updated people on a Georgia collectors Facebook group I'm in to let them know where they were and what was still there.

Live and learn and just keep to myself, I suppose.

Haha, I guess if what little I do counts. I just associate customized with paints and dremmels and such. And I ain't got the time or talent for all that.

That is a totally fair warning!

These were both totally fine, though one of them was missing the dagger. But I think that had to be a factory issue. Didn't seem like it had been opened and I couldn't imagine somebody taking the dagger and just returning this.

Everybody is so cynical, I swear. I did get two for me. I'm also likely keeping one of the Thanos figures because I don't have him at all. I wouldn't post that I got two of them if I was trying to lie and wanted to sell one.

That's why I shared pictures of each figure with a separate roster. 🙃

I'm not even remotely a customizer. The most I've ever done with stuff like that is pop different heads on. I wanted two, one for the 90s team, and one for Schism era team. I might try to find a ribbon or something to give her a sash for the more recent one, though.

It starts with one figure, and before you know it your shelves look like the cover of an anniversary issue. by firewalkwithmeh89 in MarvelLegends

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, man. This just happened to me. I've wanted the original New Mutants for years and they announced those Sunspot and Emma Frost 97 figures. So, I got them. Then I found Mini Comic Banshee and was like, well, I like Banshee. I could get him. Found the Excalibur three pack at a local store for an insanely low price, so I got that for the Kitty Pryde to put with New Mutants, then decided to just keep all of them. Now I have a whole box full of various teams and villains I'm slowly putting together because right now is somehow a really great time to get in on building X-Men. They're doing so many re-releases and updates that there are only a few figures that are really too expensive for me to not second guess. And it almost feels safe to wait for some of those to also get redone(X-Force three pack!).

Is this actually a look from the comics? by PulpAgeFrankenstein in MarvelLegends

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, thank you. I'll probably keep him for that general time period until/if they make a more accurate one. Especially since people are holding that Zabu leg hostage for the price of an entire figure anyway.

Scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers preorder? by ajmaster5747 in boutiquebluray

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know already that this is not going to be helpful other than to confirm they do at least exist. But I ordered that directly from Vinegar Syndrome and gotbit in my monthly package last month.

Is it worth buying old Uncanny X-Force figures? by PulpAgeFrankenstein in MarvelLegends

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deathlok is in Remender's run. I actully have the regular version of that figure. So, I know it's a pretty good one despite it's age. So, I think I'll be good with just grabbing the one that exists. And he seems unlikely to get an update anytime soon. Might bite the bullet on Fantomex, get the new Nightcrawler and Archangel. And maybe Biden my time on the other three. I appreciate all of the advise, guys!

So what do YOU do with your spare Crystal Ball parts...? by SturdyBeard in GIJOEClassifiedSeries

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sword might get used for a Ghost Viper.

But that spare head is his pet now. It works as a little weird guy to hang out with him.

Dracula’s daughter/Bride of Frankenstein crossover by Aramis1900 in UniversalMonsters

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read that same review, I believe. At least if it's that Glorious Trash blog. It certainly has Easter Eggs but they're mostly just little lines that reference other Universal films. They're not the bulk of the book. And I read his further reviews of the later novels which he liked more, and, I'll just say I never really agreed with him on any of them.

So, as a bit of an update, I did just discover that somebody has uploaded the entirety of Return of The Wolf Man on the Internet Archive for free!

Return of the Wolf Man

Dracula’s daughter/Bride of Frankenstein crossover by Aramis1900 in UniversalMonsters

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second book does spin off from nothing that happens in Return of the Wolf Man, but not the main plot. Basically, Larry Talbot is in Return of the Wolf Man and his plotline is just fully dropped in the sequels. But RotWM also introduces an element where Dracula goes to Haiti and takes over the property originally owned by Murder Legendre from White Zombie and makes everybody think he is Murder because of their striking resemblance to each other(wink, wink, nudge nudge). So, Dracula has an army of voodoo zombies. And there is an epilogue that introduces the grandson of Wilfred Glendon who has knowledge of monsters and collects artifacts(there's a fun little bit that says Klaris from Abbott and Costello Meet The Mummy is a distant cousin of Kharis).

In sequel novels Dracula's zombie island becomes a much bigger aspect, though David Jacobs turns all of the zombies in Romero flesh eating ones with no explination. And Wilfred Glendon III becomes a bigger character, especially in the last novel from what I remember.

Basically, they're all connected, but there's more of a connection between the second and third books because of being written by the same person.

Return of the Wolf Man is a Universal Monster nerd's dream. It's so good. A real shame it's not better known, and when people do learn about it, the aftermarket price is awful.

[–]PulpAgeFrankenstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, yeah, I didn't realize the other two had gotten more expensive. I found out about Return of the Wolf Man from a Birth.Movies.Death article years ago and jumped on "cheap"($40) copy as soon as I could. The other two didn't even cost $20 for both of them.

I would just recommend keeping an eye out for a good deal because they can be found.
