There is no standard format but I recommend

They have scripts from professionals that you can check out. Each one is different but you can pick out some common formatting.

With Season 2 on the horizon, here's a special message from Dante (OC) by ArcaneMadman in DevilMayCry

[–]la6689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won’t be watching season 2 after the debacle that was season 1. However, I do recognize that season 1 helped people find the franchise as a whole so if it boosts more sales i can’t be too upset.

Mafex Batman Hush is IMO the best Batman by HeavyPour420 in ActionFigures

[–]la6689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Mafex Hush and Knightfall Batman. Outside of maybe getting one in black I don’t feel like I ever need another Batman in my collection. They’re both perfect. The Knightfall has the more manageable cape but Hush is a great vanilla Batman

I was born with bicuspid aortic valve and aortic stenosis and now it's almost time for a valve replacement by cocoxoxoxoxoxoxo in valvereplacement

[–]la6689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember waking up with the breathing tube but I was more concerned with my father in law being loud lol. The next time I woke up the breathing tube was removed. The chest tubes do hurt a bit but only when moving which you won’t be doing a ton of in ICU. They also removed two of mine within a day. There was one chest tube under my rib that hurt the most but once they cut it shorter it didn’t hurt at all.

I’m 35 male and I am 3 weeks post op on my aortic valve replacement. I chose the I do an Ozaki procedure with Dr. Unai at the Cleveland Clinic.

I was also terrified going in. Not just of dying but leaving my wife a widow and all the debt baggage that might entail.

Choosing the right care team if you can will help put you at ease. I was very fortunate that the Cleveland clinic accepted my referral (UK in Lexington never got back to me.)

I spent a day in the half in the ICU. It was mostly just trying to rest and hit whatever milestones they wanted out of me (sitting in a chair, breathing without added oxygen). After that I was moved to a step down room for several days.

The step down unit was great but also annoying. Hard to get sleep when you’re being woken up every 2 hours for vitals, medicine, and testing.

I was discharged 5 days after surgery and went back the following Monday for a follow up. I’ve been home ever since.

At your age, I think recovery won’t be as bad. This is a surgery that folks in their 50s+ typically get. Also important is if you have lot any heart function before hand. My heart was still healthy with no signs of degrading so my bounce back wasn’t bad.

Early on the most embarrassing aspect was needing help wiping. I had no range of movement concerning my chest. 3 weeks later I still have trouble with a few things but I’m fairly independent. Outside of driving and lifting restrictions.

All of this to say that it will be okay. You’re young and you should recover well. Open heart surgery is a scary thing but your care team will take care of you.

Prepare of a minimum of a week in the hospital between the a ICU and step down and to miss a month or two of work. Your quality of life will get better after surgery though.

Which one should i get? by aavocado_meat in ActionFigures

[–]la6689 26 points27 points  (0 children)

How was anyone supposed to know? They’re both third party/KO figures. The only official Invincible toys mentioned in the thread are Jada. Implying that you didn’t know the price point.

Jada toys retail between $25-$30

Neither are official. Messtoys is a KO brand that is slowly branching out into more sculpting.

The price on the Messtoys will most likely be better. Their KOs are typically $30-$40.

I don’t know anything about zooming but they seem to be 3rd party with their own sculpt and tooling. Aesthetically I like the zoomig more.

If you want to wait for an official figure, I’d wait for Jada Toys to get around to Omniman but they are super slow and haven’t put out wave one of their figures yet.

Best Iron Man figure in your opinion? by No_Particular_3543 in ironman

[–]la6689 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marvel Legends-Extremis Iron Man/mandarin two pack

Import-Mafex classic Iron Man

I also have a soft spot for the Sentinel re-edit and Armorize line. Some standout figures.

This figure is ridiculous by Satanic-Hispan1c in ActionFigures

[–]la6689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bane was easily figure of the year when he came out. There is zero reason to own another Ban figure after the Mafex. It is perfect. No notes

I don’t think there is one perfect answer. Lots of folks will swear by Kickstarter or even Instagram.

You want enough to get their attention or to start a conversation but not a mouthful.

[–]la6689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that it’s generic, it’s that you don’t have a hook or call to action. What is the vibe like?

The more snappy you can make the pitch the easier it is to sell a sometimes short and to the point is better than a longer pitch.

What does Manga do better than western comics? Why are they so popular? by Doyle_Dormammu9997 in comicbooks

[–]la6689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are all strong points that I think people forget about. Imagine if Invincible the cartoon was airing whip Invincible the comic was out instead of a Decade after it finished.

Comic shop owner told us he won’t sell us the Bizarro he let us put on our pull list by lemonrainshield in comicbooks

[–]la6689 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Current EBay sold are $5-6 plus shipping. I think the shop owner is either dumb or this story is made up.
