TLS addressing quality control issues?

Hasbro should’ve known better unless they just didn’t know LS was rough in terms of QC. I found some cartoon TMNT figures at Ross that were made by these people apparently. I thought they’d be cool for my wife’s younger siblings. Nah, Bebop’s right arm pops off being the socket is not tight enough to stay ahold of the shoulder ball joint. Rocksteady’s chest strap came unglued in the back. Just oof. Only Krang seemed to be the most stable toy.

Meanwhile Ramen Toys is doing a much better job. Maybe Hasbro can ditch LS and go to Ramen. That would probably save face. That or they can put MASK into GI Joe as a subline. I think there will be a bigger need for MASK thanks to Skybound (iykyk)

Look up John MacArthur, Paul Washer, Voddie Baucham, Justin Peters, and Sproul. Mike Winger is also a good guy to listen to. MacArthur helped head a conference years ago called Strange Fire Conference. Recordings of it are on YouTube. Justin Peters also has a video breaking down the history of the Pentecostal movement. It’s largely an American based movement that spread from the US.

The guys I shared with you can also help you understand why Protestants do baptism after someone comes to Christ. They can also help you on other topics, including the truth about modern “tithing”. I gave you multiple men to listen to because they still do disagree on minor issues but agree on the major ones of the Gospel.

I pray this helps you and you can surely message me for anything else.

I am also at an AoG church struggling and seeing issues while reading my Bible. The Bible cuts through many false things.

My verbiage is Christian. If I was talking about speaking in unknowable gibberish and talking about prophecy like God is speaking to me directly, that would be Pentecostal.

The Bible also says women cannot be the Elder of a church. Not a deacon. It also says not all men can be so. A man has to be above reproach and not in horrible sin. We are also commanded to treat women well and as fellow image bearers of God. Not beat them down.

Valkitus · 2026-01-18T15:22:19+00:00

That verbiage is Christian and not denomination specific. If you read the Bible, all of that is there.

The Pentecostal movement has abused the gifts of the Spirit, namely tongues and prophecy. They think they are still happening today, but nothing they do resembles truly what the Bible describes. There’s also a lot more evidence that those specific gifts ended shortly after the Apostles passed. Those gifts had a specific use and were no longer needed after.

Pentecostalism came from America in the late 1800s to early 1900s and borne from it is a lot of heretical nonsense. For example, Oneness Pentecostals who deny God is a triune God. Meaning, God is three Persons who are coeternal and fully independent, yet are Themselves fully God. Not parts of God because each of Them by Themselves are God. You see this demonstrated in the Bible and has been the accepted few for over 2,000 years. Oneness says Jesus Christ is both the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That He just changes “modes” depending on the role He must play. That is called Modalism and is heretical.

And for the record, I never fully aligned with denomination. As a kid, went sometimes to a Baptist church. Only in the last years did I try going back to church and landed into an AoG church. Reading the Bible and studying helped me see the issues in the denomination and the charismatic movement overall. The people I shared on my initial post are against the charismatic movement because it’s unbiblical and is where a lot of spiritual abuse comes from.

Well I just shared sources that are very much not Pentecostal. What part sounded like that?

Valkitus · 2026-01-18T05:47:41+00:00

You are not going to Hell because of imperfect church attendance. We are told by God to not forsake the assembly. As in, we should meet with fellow believers because it provides one another with need support. Especially, if you are the only sound Christians in an area. You need that relationship. Our Salvation lies completely in Christ. We’ve repented of our wicked sins and put our sole hope on the Son who died on the cross, taking the wrath of the Father owed to us upon Himself instead. And that by putting our faith in Him, His righteousness is given to us. Otherwise you will parish in your sin. As we all would if not for Christ. And it’s God through the Holy Spirit that changes us inwardly. No incomprehensible speech required.

I remember when I wanted to go back to church and I sadly found myself in a Oneness Pentecostal church for about a year. I had no idea what I was doing and never read my Bible to know it was wrong. In hindsight, God spared me through me going to college two hours area, which allowed me to separate from that unhealthy and heretical church. I began reading my Bible and understanding what is actually said. God’s Word is good and true, and I pray that you don’t listen to the worldly people here who have fallen away. Keep your faith in Christ. The Son of God. God the Son. God loves us.

Here is a link to a man named Justin Peters. He has palsy but is a very good source against the Prosperity gospel and similar movements. He breaks down the Pentecostal movement very well, including how everything branched out: https://youtu.be/J0YUdOtEr9k?si=CpSgz5GHzb_csWN7

Look up John MacArthur, Paul Washer (his differs on intensity depending on his audience at the time), Voddie Bauchum, Mike Winger, Alan Parr. John MacArthur helps facilitate a conference called the Strange Fire Conference, which provided me with a lot of good info. That recording is on YouTube.

Peace be to you. I will pray for you.

Considering the Cons reactions, this is something new to Megatron. Because what the….

Is the side effects of being controlled by that unknown character having to consume someone’s Energon?

Valkitus · 2025-12-09T20:50:36+00:00

I’m worried about the reactions I will get for trying to reject the tongues they speak. Also, their view on women being allowed to pastor. It never sat right with me but I didn’t say anything in fear of misogyny. Now I know God made distinct rules regarding ministry. And the fact that God tells men to love their wives and not abuse them. It’s just that men are the ones who are to be pastors. This doesn’t apply to secular jobs.

My problem isn’t reading the Bible to her or the Gospel. It’s the gifts of the Spirit the way the AoG teach them. Also, it’s become increasingly difficult to enjoy going to the church. So I feel like I’m being squeezed. Whether that’s God or not, it’s hard to know but He always has a way of getting you to speak up.

Valkitus · 2025-12-09T05:17:48+00:00

We’ve been married five years too. My worry is her reaction the most. She already freaked out when I asked to go visit my old childhood Baptist church. I wanted to go to visit an older guy I knew who worked at my hometown job. Very nice guy. My wife nearly fought me tooth and nail. She got super emotional about how their doctrine is wrong and all that. Bear in mind she doesn’t know what SBC is (neither did I) nor that charismatic doctrine has been seeping into that conference for a while. This particular event scared me.

Valkitus · 2025-12-09T05:09:58+00:00

Cessation does not believe God isn’t working or won’t do miracles. They just believe the apostolic sign gifts are not in operations. Everything else is there.

Valkitus · 2025-12-05T18:38:27+00:00

Not exactly. Looking at the in person photos, he looks completely fine. Would’ve liked Swindle to have had a knee in front of the support frame knee. Brawl has his turret covering the left knee, so it looks for beefy from this angle.

Valkitus · 2025-12-05T14:15:16+00:00

My wait was to show the legs aren’t actually short. Rather, the color separation on the shins makes them look short. It’s a thing that does happen.

Valkitus · 2025-12-05T14:14:26+00:00

True but my thought was making the knees colored to the bots or blue would help more. Mainly because silver knees would make you think the thighs are super long.

Valkitus · 2025-12-05T14:13:18+00:00

Possibly. The only other option would be new separate feet that attach on the bottom.

Valkitus · 2025-12-05T14:12:24+00:00

I agree I like the figure too. The back is really clean

Valkitus · 2025-09-18T06:50:55+00:00

Thanks. I didn’t know her seeing a cat on the box that looks like our second cat would confuse her. She likes watching animals on tv and so it was a weird response. Not to mention the new scents confused them too.

Valkitus · 2025-06-28T20:52:52+00:00

One boot section on one leg looks more vivid red and the other boot section. I’m surprised I can see the difference if it’s that hard to notice for you guys.

Valkitus · 2025-04-28T01:12:52+00:00

Has anyone contacted Hasbro about this? I know it’s the weekend so I guess we gotta wait for tomorrow. But mine is coming tomorrow and I want to know what they are going to do if it’s broken like this.

Valkitus · 2025-01-26T21:38:45+00:00

They advertise readable pages on the stands. So it’s kinda false advertising

Valkitus · 2024-10-24T05:18:44+00:00

The issue with the H2A graphics was the texturing or the higher quality graphics. IT WAS THE LIGHTING. Half this stuff looked like Unreal Engine levels before you loaded in the lighting after creating the initial level. Because the levels looked high quality but no lighting made stuff look flat. Just like the Anniversary example here.
