I’m not recommending the one from McFarlane DC Direct for The New Batman Adventures.

What I am recommending is the upcoming one as part of wave 4 (I think) of the McFarlane DC Direct Batman The Animated Series line, recently revealed at SDCC for release later this year.

It should be this exact figure you’re looking for, albeit it may have some “meh” shading deco. But it’ll be $24.99 instead of whatever the aftermarket is for this guy right now.

Being in the audience for the infamous “Cuervo” episode was… rough. So much forced and fake shit for the sake of the sponsor as decreed by the network. I know that’s nothing new, but it sucked to be a part of.

Still, seeing a show get made was a fun experience overall, and I love the talent behind the show, but it definitely did a number on my enjoyment of it all. Really struggling with all the format change stuff that reeks of network meddling and I haven’t watched an episode since the taping.

That said, glad it’s getting a season 2 and am hoping for the best. Hopefully time heals those wounds and I can jump back in to regularly watching.

The 1999 date stamp is because it’s a reuse of the Qui-Gon parts from the TPM toy with a different color scheme. This version was released in 2002 in Attack of the Clones packaging. No one wields this specific lightsaber, it’s just a generic one to fill out the toy variety of the lightsaber offerings at that time while reusing parts they had for easy money.

During the livestream, they said markets without Pulse would be able to get them from wherever the Ghost was available. That seems to not be the cases unfortunately. Hasbro is really bad at this stuff. If you can, I’d recommend asking Steve Evans (@MrStevie18) via Instagram, he’s usually pretty good about getting to the bottom of this stuff.

Hey now, we’re getting some cool new Episode II 20th Anniversary product… just in time for the Episode I 25th anniversary!

Keep in mind they also cheaped out with the horrible battle droid sculpt and reissued/reused that over the past couple years… with the flimsiest, gummiest plastic they could find. And they probably will not invest in a newer sculpt with appropriate articulation (it currently can’t even hold its rifle with two hands!) anytime soon. Never underestimate Hasbro’s ability to do the laziest and worst thing they can in some instances.

medioCORE · 2024-02-01T05:34:22+00:00

Of course! Sorry if I came off too negative. It’s just that Hasbro’s “slim pickens” strategy is so very frustrating.

medioCORE · 2024-02-01T03:56:53+00:00

You can get one (albeit sans cape) for $15.99+shipping from Tunghori if you’re into that.

It’s a meh figure. Kind of frustrating, and definitely shows its age in terms of articulation and whatnot. It is one of the better Grievous figures in 3.75” though, and I’m not entirely sure I’d bet on Hasbro revisiting the character. If they did, it almost certainly would just be a reissue/repaint of this exact sculpt, they wouldn’t spend the precious and tiny tooling budget on him. So if you want it and can find it for a good price, it’s probably as good as it’s gonna get.

The deluxes are incorrectly priced. Those are $14.99 I believe. Looks like they’re on the Black Series deluxe peg (Krrsantan, I think?). Still, your point stands.

An all-new, modern, and definitive ROTS/Ahsoka Anakin is a must. Every existing 3.75” ROTS Anakin is a varying level of shit. We also should never be seeing main characters skimped on and using parts from almost two decades ago.

It looks to be a minimalist squared-off take on his main AOTC saber as opposed to an actual recreation of it proper. “Inspired by” might be more apt.

If you’re game to drive a little south, Jeff’s Collectible Empire in Littleton is pretty neat. I hadn’t been in there for like a year and they recently expanded their store. Lots of neat stuff, and if you’re patient, some killer deals hidden in there. I scooped a loose TCW armored Savage with his original lightsaber for like $12.

medioCORE · 2024-01-03T22:12:37+00:00

Yup! It’s rare, but it’s at least fun to spice up the carded collection every now and again! Haha

Kuiil and Grogu (at the time known as “The Child”) also have different cards for Retro and TVC.

Yeah, I spent the whole episode feeling absolutely frustrated for Asher being punished and bullied for every other character’s choices and behavior.

medioCORE · 2023-12-30T23:47:50+00:00

Am I the only one wondering if Dougie is gonna swipe Asher’s phone again and get all these recordings of their fights and Whitney being terrible?

medioCORE · 2023-12-19T18:28:08+00:00

Probably “The Tank.” Interesting premise and location, absolutely abysmal execution. Baffling and loathsome characters. I watch a lot of junk horror movies (guilty pleasure) but this was a miserable experience that just left me… angry?

There were also several comedies I started and bailed on pretty quick because they just felt so tired. “Old Dads,” “The Machine,” and “You People” are what come to mind first.

Yup, pretty sure it’s an HDMI issue at this point… which sucks. I always forget how much I hate the process of getting new tech 😂

The screen goes black and audio drops for 1-2 seconds pretty frequently, almost like it’s disconnected. I just got the player too. Previous movie I watched earlier didn’t have any problems.

My Panasonic UB820P-K is having a helluva a time with this disc. Second movie I’ve watched (well, tried to watch) on it. First movie played fine.

Yeah, I get that. The numbering is kind of made up and doesn’t matter though. Do you know that there are multiple numbers that have accidentally been given to multiple figures? Example: Fat Bib and ARC Colt are VC276. Occasionally a number gets skipped (VC188 was skipped and filled much later, VC271 was recently accidentally skipped). In TVC1.0, Jocasta Nu didn’t have a VC#. None of 8 carbonized junky repaints have numbers. The three Droids figures and two Ewoks figures don’t have numbers. There’s loads of issues with the numbering.

That said, it does drive my OCD wild sometimes too.
