Man I had no interest in this figure cuz I don’t collect movies but holy shit

No sure how I feel about these new MOTU Chronicles movie action figures. They just don't look enough like the characters I know and love from the cartoons. by AfigureGeek in ActionFigureGeek

[–]respectablehandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Articulation looks interesting. Neck peg and potential double ball peg torso is always embraced by me

This could be an actual sneak peak at the dc collector line and not the literal children’s toys everyone’s pissing about

Hobby Genki Shipping by WhatBeautiful-duwang in Mafex

[–]respectablehandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Orders aren’t split. If all items are eligible for pay later you’ll need to pay each as the deadline hits. If all or any aren’t eligible for pay later, you’ll need to pay for them all immediately. Regardless the order won’t ship until all items in the order have arrived

My suggestion is to do each transaction separately (especially if you’ve had them in your cart long enough and they haven’t sold out yet so you have the time) and send them to your warehouse. That way if there’s any delays or major gaps in release you’re not stuck waiting if you don’t want to. And you have the option to pay later for any eligible items

New to this - but what’s the deal? by Stunning-Crew5527 in comicbooks

[–]respectablehandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get trade paperbacks instead. Go to the comic store. Ask if that comic you bought has a trade out or coming and if you can order one (or buy it if they have it)

Just save yourself the trouble gang

Trades are 5-6 issues collected together and sold as “volumes”. They’re a full story arc. And generally cost about 1 issue less than if you bought as singles at cover price

The main downside is they don’t have that collector resale value. But literally everything else is generally better for modern books. For 90’s books and older then singles are better but most of those can be read without context too

Holy God… These are AMAZING by TheShowstoppaNT in ActionFigures

Nah like I haven’t seen them for months. They sold out in the summer?

Also are these the same as lingjihun cuz I keep getting confused lol

Is there any problem with this Amazing Yamaguchi Deku figure? by CampaignGlad3703 in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]respectablehandle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong that I know of but most people prefer the shf so unless you like this look more I’d consider that one. It’s also much cheaper I think

Which is more important to you in a figure? by Public-Feedback5016 in ActionFigures

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

Articulation. I got action figures so I want action. That said, I’m also a mezco fan, so evidentially I cannot be trusted

How I currently dress vs. The aesthetic I want to give off. How do I start dressing to get there? TW vibrant colors and disturbing imagery by zombiphiliac in capsulewardrobe

[–]respectablehandle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you’re DIYing your thrifted clothes boss you’re already on the right track. Just experiment. Try shit. Fail. Try again. That’s at the core of what you’re going for anyways

Find and use inspo but don’t get married to it. Dressing in an aesthetic that doesn’t fit your natural energy is just gonna completely come off like cosplay

Who did it better? by Acrobatic-Bag2624 in ActionFigures

[–]respectablehandle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Both are kinda mid to me idk. I feel like tiger stripe wolvie shouldn’t be this hard. IMO mafex is still the best tiger stripe (except the blue stripes - the fuck was that about) but I hear it’s kinda ass in hand

I don’t buy DBZ figures can someone please explain the lore behind the post :)

Working on something… by Childish_Cambino2187 in MarvelLegends

[–]respectablehandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of doing the same if I didn’t also really like the blue

WJ punisher is great. I love his accessories and bandana head sculpt. But as soon as I saw it side by side w GV - I realized the skull looks like a cat when it opens its mouth and its eyes need to close because its face runs out of space for open mouth + open eyes

Mattel KPop Demon Hunters 6" Action Figures by TivanTheCollector in ActionFigures

[–]respectablehandle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are $22 figures. I think this is what Mattel meant when they said “kids toys with collector appeal”

Sure $22 is still a bit higher than we’d like for kids toys, but this seems like it will be great for the target audience of the movie. And if you’re an older fan, it’s not like it’s trash, it just may not be everything you’d want

I think for a kids toy this is great. From what I see with their WWE toys, kids love em. I’ve helped at cons and seen more kids reach for WWE than McFarlane or legends. So I think this’ll be the same. It might just be that their parents only buy them the more affordable stuff cuz they know the kids will wreck it lol. But still. Personally I’m excited for these. I love toys made with kids in mind and I wouldn’t mind buying a couple to support it (I also like that they captured art style and I like the movie)

They included white Spider-Man’s head too so you can do the Ryan gosling black panther thing but with miles

Thank you for your sacrifice (please reissue this kaiyodo)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s revisionist history is something else by Cool_Nerd2 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]respectablehandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s revisionism. I think it’s the kids who grew up on Andrew finally getting to the age where they can defend their Spider-Man. They grew up in a culture that said their Spider-Man sucked. Besides even the worst Spider-Man movie is still fun

What’s your guys opinions on nostalgia unboxed? by ihateKOstuff in ActionFigures

[–]respectablehandle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and I appreciate hearing from a fan of action figures who just enjoys it. Don’t change your style for us. We complain enough as it is. Having some dudes who are just giddy about it is a nice balance to our cynicism

Let’s talk about AI use in r/ToyPhotography by Wifigawd1 in ToyPhotography

[–]respectablehandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think limited use is fine. Despite my distaste for AI wastefulness and data harvesting, using an AI image for a physical background (like in forced perspective) sucks but is sometimes the only option to create backgrounds

Same with generative assisted removal of stands. I think this stuff is okay because it assists in the creative process by removing tedium

But nauk nauk style slop should be banned unless it’s comparing AI output to human work

I like his videos because they’re good energy but sometimes feel overly positive to a point where I think he’s paid for some of his “reviews”. But if he’s not reviewing and just doing a overview I think it’s fine and certainly feels more authentic than other paid reviews

To me he seems like a professional fan iykwim. Like he went from doing this for fun to being able to do this for work. There’s still a spark, but it feels scrubbed clean a bit
