okay this packaging is dope.

I've seen multiple places offering that for sale like around $16.99 or so. I pre-ordered as soon as I could at full price. I like the lighter green with darker green rather than all dark green. Haven't opened mine yet.

I have a very rough cape for the Mattel Secret Wars techno armor Doctor Doom using an old t-shirt.

Also, I can confirm G.I. Joe v2 Hawk's helmet will fit on G.I. Joe Retro Roadblock's head. Might fall off upside down, but doesn't look too bad.
 
I got a bunch of old hot wheels pontiac firebird funny cars that's coming in today.. They have been proven to be fast stock cars on many hot wheels tracks including ghostjerkers king of the hill. Not sure when, but I can't wait to put them to the test.
 
So early tomorrow is Fan First Friday Hasbro Star Wars, but... Amazon already has Black Series pre-orders for Greedo, Old Man Obi, Jawa.
 
Today's Star Wars pre-orders:

Non-exclusive TVC Ahsoka and Maul both from final Clone Wars season, due Sept 2021.

Black Series, not sure if Amazon only, all black Bad Batch Phase 2 Clone Trooper

Best Buy: Qui Gon, Mace Windu, Jar Jar, Battle Droid on Black Series Phantom Menace foil cardbacks

Misc junk TVC Walmart exclusives.

Other stuff revealed early as only in pipeline including BS Koska Reeves. Marketing guy seemed to make it sound like for the first time General Lando will be available in TVC and BS, but I thought they were both re-released recently as BS pegwarmer and old weird hips TVC.
 
Instead of buying Lego Jedi Starfighter/Interceptor, I spent more than set purchase price on parts to make one. I assembled maybe 93% of it and it doesn't look impressive, probably due to uncoordinated colors. I'm also missing a few key pieces: the cockpit canopy and the windscreen with TIE Fighter printing.
 
I found out about that Ashoka too late. :(
 
There was this Black Series Ahsoka in 2020, which was Walmart exclusive alongside I think Mando Super Commando, Mando Loyalist (Jango re-paint), and Ahsoka colors Clone Trooper. Never saw these ever in store.

After I pre-ordered Maul and Ahsoka TVC, I stuck around to see if they'd get wiped out instantly like Target exclusives and both still there, but not now.
 
I saw the reboot UFC figures for the first time in Target and only had two Conors left. I would have thought he'd be popular and sold out first. Passed.

Saw on Marvelous News the 3.75" 5 POA old school figures will have Ms. Marvel Carol Danvers, Hulk, Magneto, Human Torch. I guess I will need to find the X-Men related ones. Never saw the first wave in stores.

Target in March, elsewhere in April.

Maybe this morning, saw G.I. Joe Retro F.A.N.G. helicopter pre-order for $24.99, but seems all gone now. The pilot looks like it needs a slight adjustment to look good. Maybe different face. I did see a youtube vid showing how to disassemble Retro figures I think via popping off the arms then using flat head screwdriver to open the torso without doing permanent damage maybe.

Also this morning saw Marvel Legends deluxe Maestro, which I think an article on Apple News said had incest with She-Hulk and produced incest babies. I don't remember this type of subject matter in comics when I was a kid. I guess they are continuing Marvel Mondays first M of the month.

Got my Lego Jedi Interceptor looking better. It's got black, earth blue, bright blue, light gray, sand green, dark gray stripe, yellow stripe. Re-worked the wings and built a decent stand for it to allow opening the bottom wings. A coherent color scheme makes a big difference. I bought all sorts of parts in various nice colors, but they didn't necessarily match well. I like Bright Bluish Green.
 
Update on tmnt neca movie original:

New michelangelo headband came off right out of package. Looks like it was superglued into the head and joints are looser, as if its a second hand repackaged. Holy fuck im displeased with this company despite the realism of the item. The toy store im ordering it through is appalled too. Luckily they are good folk.
 
I see the Maestro figure and thinking Street Fighter Gouki or whatever the name of Ryu's teacher was.

I saw the leaks of the Marvel Legends Eternals figures in box and I'm guessing pegwarmers. No idea who's who and they look so similar. Who's gonna collect them all to build the BAF? Walmart and Disney Store here still have Marvel Legends Wasp figures.

A while back I saw someone post on a toy forum that since Dragon Stars waves seemed to be reduced from 3 selections to 2 that that meant they are shutting down the line. Today I saw a pic and link to Amazon France of Dragon Stars super buff Mutenroshi with really long legs. Also a SSJ Bardock.
 
That classic Iron Man is my favorite and from my childhood days, but that particular 5POA retro throwback version's hairline is too far receded, so pass. Also pass on double open hands Spidey.

I'm hoping to find the Cap Am, Cyclops, Magneto, maybe Carol Danvers. Seems so weird to see that version of Cyclops because back in the day, even if you could see some Marvel action figures, no way fringe X-Men characters.

Never played Jedi Fallen Order, but plan to when $19.99. Is this character supposed to wear a Strawberry Shortcake type short dress?
