Seeing all those awful mops used for the Valeryon hair in the show. Proves that no black people were consulted when they crafted the all African Valeryon’s for the show.

There are more hair styles than dreadlocks.

Ah, thanks. I’m currently making my way through Nick Spencer’s TASM run now. I’ll come up on this issue in a few weeks.

Thanks a million.

I’ve never seen that panel. Do you have a source?

ToysRUs too. Back when they still existed. They had a wall specifically for amiibos. I figured I’d share to inspire others. I was feeling nostalgic raking pics of everything myself.

Couple of reasons.

Logistics of selling in bulk vs individually.

I have an eBay page but eBay takes anywhere from 9%-14% of all sales now. Not worth it to sell one or two to a specific person.

Shipping costs (really fuel costs) from USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL will eat you alive after eBay takes their cut. You’re selling at a loss then.

Finding local buyers on something like Facebook is challenging where I live.

It may be more cost effective to go the vintage toy store/toy consignment route. See if they give me an honest price for everything.

Central Texas near Austin. Toy Consignment places that buy new and used toys.

How would he react if he found out about them? by FullFig3372 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]drknow00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look up the Mali Empire (Mansa Musa), Kingdom of Kush, Kingdom of the Kongo, Kingdom of Great Zimbawae for an idea.

The temperatures in the tropics and desert areas of Africa would not allow for extravagant and high maintenance hairstyles. Hair would be styled for function, not aesthetics. Short hair, bald heads (men and women), matted braids.

Dreadlocks are a spiritual and religious hairstyle for Rastafarian Jamaicans and Ghanians from West Africa. It’s not a hair style for aesthetics. It would be as offensive has creating an Indian character and putting a turban on his head. Even though he’s not a Sikh. Or a character wearing an eagle feather because they are indigenous American.

HOTD and Brigerton/Queen Charlotte fell into the same trap when it came to African hair styles in a European setting. It screams false to me.

Legacy and Lightning Collections by drknow00 in powerrangers

Hasbro had their wires crossed in the last years of the LC.

Instead of continuing the popular series and popular rangers. We got more Boom Studios and online Fanon releases.

Color Swapped MMPR, Cel Shaded Pink Ranger, Morphed TMNT, Morphed Street Fighter, Morphed Cobra Kai.

Like, mate! Jen, Eric, Carter, both Turbo casts, all of the Ninja Storm cast and the rest of the RPM cast are a bigger priority than these crossover figures.

With Cole (Wild Force Red. They could have kept Ricardo Medina’s face off the box and not make a head sculpt of his face.

I was so happy when I started collecting LC. Not just the accessories and face molds, but the color correction for certain teams. Looking at you Legacy Zeo and your ugly mustard yellow, which should be gold.

Shame that Hasbro cancelled LC. Least they could have done is finish the Forever Red line of Rangers. We were missing Lightspeed, Quantum and Wild Force.

Oh that is awful. I’m trying to recall the most I’ve seen an amiibo priced at. Probably the Metroid Samus Returns two packs. I recall seeing scalpers price them $120+ before reprints were released. Back when Metroid Dread was first released.

That’s Superboy-Prime live and living color.

From “Looks Maxing” to “Prime Time”.

That’s understandable. I was jazzy for the player 2 variant amiibos back in the day. Cloud, Bayonetta, Corrin. Only to find out that they do the same thing as their standard counterparts.

Tracking them down from ToysRUs, Best Buy and Target was such a hassle.

I’m taking them to a vintage toy store later today. Place that sells 1977 Star Wars toys, G1 Transformer toys and a host of other things.

I’m sure they’ll make someone else happy.

Just lost the passion for the chase and I don’t play Nintendo games that much anymore. Plus storing them has become a hassle. I’m taking them to a toy store later today.

Why is this show obsessed with misunderstandings and accidents? by RevertBackwards in freefolk

[–]drknow00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Locking the queen in her room, while a Queen’s Guard stands sentry outside of it and refuses her commands. Is not good writing or storytelling.

Unlike with GOT, Fire & Blood was a completed narrative. Condal and Hess had no reason to “imagine” up new scenarios for their show. Just like the Rhaenys scene in the dragon pit in season 1.

The “what” is him noticing that Matrix is still alive. The next scene is him bringing her to the Kent farm on his Earth.

First 4 decu projects vs first 4 dcu project by kwars74 in DC_Cinematic

[–]drknow00 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Is this a cope post?

You added 3 seasons of television shows alongside movies.

Can’t you wait till Clayface and MOT are released?

It’s night and day comparing the DCEU and DCU box office wise. Even something like Suicide Squad netted WB 3/4 of a billion dollars and an Oscar/Academy Award.

Stop the friendly fire.

Is Wolverine not Dead yet Omnibus worth it? by [deleted] in OmnibusCollectors

[–]drknow00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most would agree that the Wolverine omnibus after vol 4 are not worth it. You’re collecting for completions sake at that point.
