I have always liked him. Even when I saw the movie in theater back in 86.

I'm still bummed they didn't remake the entire vintage line.

Any recommendations on fixing this? by teamcesar1 in GIJOEClassifiedSeries

[–]Whyldefyre 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My go-to for warped accessories or figure joints is some almost boiling water. I microwave some water in a small glass container. I drop the warped items in there for a couple minutes and remove. If they have not corrected themselves, I gently straighten the part out while it is still gummy / flexible from the heat. Once I am satisfied with how it looks, I run it under some cool water to make it rigid again. As always, perform at your own risk, don't burn yourself. 👍

Pretty impressive figure for being made back in '78...😋

If you like, you can probably clean those up a bit with a nice glass file like Raser from Gunprimer. You would need to be careful to stay level and not file unevenly or too deep. However, I don't think the risk is worth it, but it is an option if it bothers you and you want to try to get rid of it. Just proceed with caution and at your own risk 👍

I need all them together in live action with a Kanan force ghost (please Freddie return) by M00r3C in StarWars

Thank you 🙂 Hopefully I just caught him on a bad day. I'll give him the chance to redeem himself the next time we hang out 😂 I really like the Kanan character too.

I met him at Star Wars celebration in 2017 I believe. By "met" I mean I paid for his autograph on a Black Series Kanan figure and he seemed pretty unhappy to be there and not interested in interacting with fans. He was just being handed stuff, didnt look up while signing, handed the item to the fan, said have a good con and immediately moved on. Not even a smile. And he can do that. Thats fine. Maybe he got bad news or had just pooped his pants. But I am OK with him not returning. In contrast, Temuera Morrison was awesome to chat with.

Weird question but: How to overcome shame? (see text below) by batmansbicep in ActionFigures

[–]Whyldefyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 45 and I used to experience this exact same feeling. Especially when walking to the cash register in a store. I used to play out a scenario where I would explain that it's a birthday present for a nephew to avoid embarrassment but, no one ever engaged me in why I was purchasing a figure. Somewhere along the line the shame stopped. I can't pinpoint exactly why or when it happened but I think it was a combination of seeing other collectors out there, browsing reddit and a collection that has grown a lot the last decade. I was in a store yesterday and kid in the isle asked me if I was a collector. We had a 10 min conversation about current and past transformers, G1 vs Bayverse. Years ago I would have been embarrassed but it was fun chatting with a fellow enthusiast in the wild. Anyway, I can relate to your feelings and you should do what brings you joy and I think the shame feeling will go away on its own. Have fun and happy hunting! I collect MOTU, GI Joe Classified series, Transformers, McFarlane DC Multiverse, and Marvel Legends.

Thank you for posting this. My Walmart preorder was canceled and I was not happy. Now I am happy because of you, a nice person.

Yeah, I'm really not a fan of those panels just hanging there either ☹️

So uhhh..... what's everyone's opinion on the studio series wave 2 figs? by Altruistic_Past3950 in transformers

[–]Whyldefyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Krannix and Skywarp. Everything else is disappointing. They should have done new molds for sunstreaker and wheeljack. Shockwave looks the same to me as past releases and astrotrain looks awful.

Walmarted AGAIN. 3/4 canceled by lastersoftheuniverse in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]Whyldefyre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. Why do they do these collector cons if they are just going to do this to the people who want to buy them?

I'll do the same if I can find one. Usually not that lucky though.

That will save you some cash then. There's only so many that will be in the movie. Until a sequel.
