You can't use 3.75" scale Skystriker to battle 6" scale Rattler.

I think GI Joe previously had a F-16 and F-22, so let's have that in 6" scale or not quite perfect scale but same proportions.

My HasLab Skystriker is still unassembled in box. I only opened Failsafe which has some stray green paint on his hair.

That Rattler is.....flying away with it's backer numbers...

I'm not a GI Joe fan , it wasn't something I was really into as a Brit ( we had Action Force that preceded it ) but that Rattler looks off the hook.

Debating whether to jump on that too.... regret not getting Giant Man somewhat .

There's something very appealing about being able to put a figure inside a vehicle and you don't often see 6" scale vehicles other than motorcycle. I used to play the video game series Ace Combat a lot and can't help appreciate the various planes I used a lot in the game.

What I really want is to put a pilot figure inside a Gundam. I may try to use Legos to build a Gundam cockpit, then try to build the torso around it, etc etc. and at least fit a minifig inside.

Anyway, I skipped most HasLabs so I could pounce on something like the Rattler from GI Joe. Skipped the HISS Tank thinking maybe they'd sell a no frills version cheaper later.
 
After watching Netflix Daredevil & Punisher, I've been wanting to buy a ML Punisher, but like DD & Iron Fist, they release one with some character I don't want.

Yea, I like the Iron Fist double pack but like I put before, not that Power Man and the classic Iron Fist costume for me has a V towards the navel . If I see it cheap then yea, I'll pick it up but despite my original feeling towards it I won't pay full price.

That Mythic Legions sale kicked off today. There's some good stuff they're putting up. Some "as-is", that's why some prices are lower than usual.

Thanks! Picked up the Dracula inspired character and the Orange space dude.
 
Looking at the new ML 2pk Punisher, the skull logo's eyes look upside down like a happy skull. I'm trying to use that to convince myself not to pre-order that.

Yea, I'm not a huge Punisher fan anyway but I don't particularly like either of the figures for some reason.


I have however just ordered ML-

Warlord retro
Venom retro ( although I have the Knull two pack)
Wolverine retro ( yellow costume).


Heard that ROM is coming next year.

I want that green Quicksilver too.

Oh MAN! Rom is on the way?!?!

I'm INNNN! 😍
 
They showed a ML Rom digital render. I feel I'll regret if I skip it. Need to turn on Marvel Unlimited and try to see if ROM is in there to read.

Not sure if any other nerds also rock tee shirts or whether it's all shirts with pen protectors but I can recommend this specific printer on red bubble ( and another couple of sites too)




13th floor design has some nice ' beat up' retro Marvel shirts , I bought several tees from them , 3 x Micronauts, Iron Fist and ROM . Nice weight tees, nice print , wash well and look decent.


Apologies for the derail but it kind of ties in with the ROM reference.

Don't know what the other ROM tees are like on there.

The Deadpool & Spidey "posed figures" I saw in Target were lighter than a marvel legend so I didn't buy those ($29.99), just took pics. Unless you just have to have them, I'd hold off.

Just got my 2 McFarlane preorders in today ($85 2-pack deal). These figures are full-sized, hefty & awesome! They're higher priced but definitely worth it.

I saw the same thing except no GIJ CS Gnawgahyde. Hoping Iron Fist Luke Cage will go on clearance.

Also saw Lego microfighter Slave I at maybe $5.99 and almost bought it but figured I'd better check if I already did and I did.
