I recently learned Ultra Pro makes a 8x10 one touch magnetic hangable case that has some UV protection. It's similar to the baseball cards one touch. I think it's too small for modern comics and maybe the indentation too shallow for comics. Long ago I won an animated cell from the Iron Man cartoon, so may try to see if that will fit.

In Japan there was a store that sold tons of animation cells in boxes.

I have an animation cel from "Armor Hunter Mellowlink."




It's an amazing anime set in the Votoms universe. Kenny Lauderdale does a hilarious job of showing how amazing this series is.
 
Well , Quicksilver is on his way . Picked up my Mimic today along with 3 cans of Street fighter drinks , Ken, Ryu and Chun Li.

Had a bit of fun posing Hulk and Thing inside Mimic as though he is eating them.... immature I know.

Kang should be dispatched tomorrow.


And regards the Secret Wars Marvel Legends, anyone watch the animation at the very end of the photos ?



Swipe over to the last photo and play it. Kinda funky.
 
Oh , and it's double points in the Lego site proper @Batjester

Will pick up the Jaws set and the Wednesday Adams figure too I think .

Free Bakery set if you spend enough, got someone else who wants that, may sell it to him or just give it away.
 
I don't know how this works outside of the U.S. but Hasbro has G.I. Joe episodes streaming for free on YouTube.



The appeal of Pluto TV for me is I can watch on the HDTV without having computer on and not touching anything Google related. Watched a few more episodes of MASS Device and at some points like the recap, you can see all sorts of artifacts like it's from VHS, but other episodes it's super clean and sharp and vivid.
 
Thanks for that. I'll give it a shot. Hanging frames is a pain in the butt and I think magnet will make it easier.

For the animation cells in Japan, do you know how much they were going for and where it was at? I'm going to Japan soon and would love to check it out.

Seems like Ultra Pro sells them on eBay with some occasional sale prices. It's a magnetic closure with built-in "sawtooth" hole for hanging on hook or screw/nail. It's a two piece case where bottom edge has like two pegs that plug into other piece's holes and magnets keep the pieces together. One type has black painted on front border and another is like frosted clear border where magnets are visible. BCW sells polypropylene sleeves of various sizes for photos. I bought the 6x9 sleeves for an oversized baseball card I intend to put in the 8x10 case.

It's been over 20 yrs, so no idea if the store or building in Japan still exists. Also, not certain which store I saw the animation cells, but might be Nakano Broadway or another several story tall building there in one of the shops in upper floors. No idea on price since I wasn't looking to buy, but probably would have if I saw any cool DBZ cells. The main train line in Tokyo is Yamanote, light green color scheme, and Nakano is via a separate line, maybe brown or mustard colored where you can transfer from a stop on Yamanote. Don't remember if it's west of the Yamanote circle loop. If not Nakano, Akihabara for sure and look for Mandrake which would likely have this type of stuff including used stuff.

Wouldn't hurt to watch some Akihabara tour youtube videos before going. Some give sort of in depth reviews of various stores and their multiple levels.

I think you mentioned that before and I only watched one episode so far.
 
Opened my Super7 ReAction+ Cobra Commander and this is what the V1 sculpt should have been, not the weird shaped head of the original. Not sure if the o-ring was installed right because there's some weird tension that sorta makes the parts misaligned. Looks very good though. EDIT: Opened the torso w/#0 Phillips screwdriver. Reset the o-ring and seems to fit better without weird twist tension. Not sure if I stripped the screw head in the process.

Amazon as seller had the Snake Eyes ReAction+ for $20.

Not a DC person but this could tempt me..
 
Lol , suck it up princess x.


I've going to order those sets as they're supposed to be exclusive to Lego ....



Ordered. Couple of days to wait
That Jaws set will be everywhere soon.

The problem with ordering from the LEGO site is I can get better deals through Barnes & Nobel, collect stamps, and get a 10% discount right from the beginning. I could currently get the D&D set for just over $300 + tax, free shipping (could pick that one up in store too).

found these at a Target that looked like Helene blew through the toy section. the Iron Fist/Luke Cage two-pack was on a random shelf in the puzzle section & the Chun-Li was sitting on an end cap of one of the kiddie aisles of the toy section
inb4 all aisles in the toy section are kiddie aisles

also got two Carnage & one Venom (Venom: Let There Be Carnage variants) on Circle Day w/ a $20 discount. movie was dookie but the figures fuckin’ rule.

Yea , I like the Iron Fist figure despite the costume not quite right for me. I'd need to get the Cage Knights figure to get the look I want.


Jelly for the Chun Li though , not seen that version, I have the standard blue one.

yeah, i’m borderline annoyed that the costume doesn’t come down into a ‘V’ at the waist like his UMVC3 character design. i assume that’s his comic costume too, but i’m unfamiliar
 
My Target had like two or three Iron Fist, but wiped out suddenly. Maybe sudden clearance.

Still not seeing Super7 ReAction+ in store.
