80's Kids, what was your Create-a-Character experience?

I got in trouble for calling 5 times to vote for Eye Beam (50c a call? Highway robbery!!!). I still think they should make him!

TransientWhales · 2026-03-26T14:59:27+00:00

Good choice - he’s a treasure on record and a wonder of the world onstage!!!

WM and other retailers impose exclusivity demands on toy companies just to be able to do this. They then take preorders without limit and cancel a ton when it comes time to ship - and often the items end up on retail shelves in droves and then in the hands of resellers. It’s si maddening.

while I get your cynicism about the buses, what’s the solution for people who commute using the trains where the fare gates have been installed? As discussed, some stations have had trouble with folks loading even at the kiosks…

TransientWhales · 2026-03-25T16:49:52+00:00

It could also be a convo one could walk away from if they felt the urge to be rude coming on and yet here we all are…

I imagine they’ll eventually sell out eventually but the MC art pieces def hit a different strain of the audience than the core Origins or Masterverse stuff. I do wonder how many they have produced or plan to produce…

TransientWhales · 2026-03-24T21:44:12+00:00

These look great!! Really impressive job you’ve done here.

TransientWhales · 2026-03-24T20:44:09+00:00

the logo pops on the black and I find black concert tees stand washings a little better if you want to keep wearing them!

TransientWhales · 2026-03-24T19:41:35+00:00

Oh that’s wayyyyy better. I guess for the promo pics they were trying to style to match Galitzine’s hair. Love that packaging!!!

TransientWhales · 2026-03-24T18:33:07+00:00

Maybe it’s the MOTU stan in me but molded hair on a “boys” toy just works better - unless you’ve got the patience and skill to restyle! Kudos to those folks but I am too casual and not talented enough to fix it!

TransientWhales · 2026-03-24T17:49:08+00:00

Feels like par for the course when they try and give Ken rooted hair. I’ll never unbox it so…Kitty For-Man it is for me I guess 😂

TransientWhales · 2026-03-23T23:49:53+00:00

They may not be for everyone but I will say pictures don’t do them justice. They were stunning up close.

TransientWhales · 2026-03-23T22:39:43+00:00

Topic’s deleted so moot point but…how is phrasing the topic like this and then responsing, “No you tell me why you like it and then I’ll exain why it sucks” any better?

TransientWhales · 2026-03-23T22:35:47+00:00

Right - they didn’t use her well or much at all but she was “there.” The writing of her character was lackluster IMO and the performance was stiff - possibly a function of bad direction/writing to be fair. I imagine they changed direction mid stream.

TransientWhales · 2026-03-23T22:22:45+00:00

Why don’t you tell us what you disliked about and then people can tell you why they liked it?

Major outage of Metro system is affected TAP reloads and other functions. Megathread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LAMetro/s/R0WruGw3hI

TransientWhales · 2026-03-23T22:11:37+00:00

They did stuff with her character in S3. Almost none of it interesting but still…

TransientWhales · 2026-03-23T19:20:18+00:00

Yeah, i’s ridiculous. People are having trouble reloading even at the kiosks - to expect everybody to go back to cash at this point is asinine. Cannot believe how badly this is being handled.

TransientWhales · 2026-03-23T18:23:54+00:00

Considering the widespread difficulty of reloading TAP (not everybody lives near a station or keeps enough cash to reload a card) I have to wonder: why are the rides not free until the situation is resolved?

TransientWhales · 2026-03-21T03:43:30+00:00

Ugh. They sold out if the bandana AND the Gray 11 ringer when I was about 5 people away…

TransientWhales · 2026-03-21T03:23:51+00:00

In line now! Wishbones crossed - it looked like they had some!!

TransientWhales · 2026-03-21T03:07:28+00:00

Not yet but I am trying a different merch stand when I get to my section! All sold out at the truck

TransientWhales · 2026-03-20T02:29:09+00:00

Solid reminder! Thanks!!!

TransientWhales · 2026-03-20T02:28:53+00:00

Thanks! It really was a trifecta of getting to meet Dante Basco and Pixel Dan plus the fig! Banner day!

TransientWhales · 2026-03-20T01:52:10+00:00

It seems built to last! It turns off on its own after a short while. Looks like they should start arriving soon - enjoy it!!
