Yup, Mods dont really seem to care about the small collecting community, luckily. We are self-governing, so beware all of yous, we have no laws, but cross one of the big collecotrs and you could be verbally beaten.

Verbally beaten? Yes. With nasty nasty words so bad you'll be offended! Or they could possibly so bad, the censors will block them and you won't see them and you could care less that....

Gah, I don't even know where the hell I was really going with that :p

I didn't go out today, I've been on here too long. I went to finish some paperwork at Blockbuster and then went to Hollywood to put in my two weeks notice. I've been writing my story since (new bit added, got a bit more yet to be posted saved on my HD) and posting here like there's no tomorrow. Well... not that much but I've been lurking a lot!

What about Captain Earth or Planet or whatever? He was like, a giant greenish blue dude and he had all these gay kids that followed him around and brought the bad guys to shame with peace, love, and rock n roll.





Something like that.

Look, new avatar and title :p I got ****loads off Google for avs. Can't decide which I wanna use. Got classic comedies like Sein, Monty Python, Tim Curry as a girlscout from Loaded Weapon.... Got some great movie ones like Tom Hanks from Prvt Ryan, Sky Captain, PotA....

An example why things are so random for my posts. I'll point it out step by step how I get from one topic to the other.

John Cleese kicks ass. Speaking of John Cleese, who is the new Q, and is related to Bond, I saw a video of the new Bond game. Funny as hell! Old Q (pretty good imitation of the original Q!) and Bond (Connery :p) have some great dialogue. Can't wait for that.

And since we're on topic of Bond and Monty Python, Sideshow makes those. Yeah, other things I collect? See, everything falls into place!

Feel free to keep posting. Don't let us scare you away. We're all over collecting as well. It's just that I get too easily pissed off thinking about Hasbro and stuff so we need to vary our topics of discussion. I also refuse to get AIM again so we have to do this here for all you to see ;)

Yup, I know you'd like Sky Captain. I wish they'd make a sequel or two it was that good.

Baccarra and super poseable clone were the last ones we got in June/ July. Oh wait, save for 500th Vader. Not as good as 300th Boba, but still decent.

Yeh, he's in his meditation chamber thing. The 300th was a super acurate Boba Fett.

Hehehe. It's funny that these figures show how dumb Hasbro is. It took them 25 years to make 300 figures. It took three years to make only 200 more? I don't care if two movies happened to be released within that time. I think half of them were resculpts and **** :rolleyes:

Vader's still nice. I wish they'd include a list of every figure they've done. They kinda did on Boba. PotF1 Han in Carbonite was 100 ('83? '85?), Mara Jade 200 ('98?), and then the Boba of course, 300 ('02).

Han Solo carbinite was 85' cus it was part of the last 17 or whatever. Yah, I think kenner becaem hasbro (well was bought buy hasbro) in 1998 with the flashbacks and commtech..or was that 99?
 Katarn07
08-06-2005, 11:36 PM

'99 ;)

I think Kenner and Hasbro were always linked somehow and Hasbro just slapped their name on everything. Although, I was just a kid and maybe got that impression somewhere and it's stuck with me ever since.... Too lazy and don't care enough to really investigate. Hasbro is the Microsoft of toys. Mattel is the only real contender anymore. Barbie, Hotwheels, and they got the Batman license from Hasbro but are probably realizing why Hasbro gave it up (it doesn't sell because their choices for figs suck!)There are a few other companies still left untouched. Playmates (who after giving up their Star Trek license seems to only make Turtles) and Toy Biz (Marvel Comics and LotR are their best selling lines if they even make anything else....)

Yah i wasnt sure..99..98..

I dotn believe they were linked, i think hasbro boughtkenner in the early 90's and dint put the name on the figures til then. I like Playmates, and i like Toy Biz from what they make, but they arnt as big as they should be. I still think Mcfarlane has the best stuff..but its more for collectors. Mezco does nothing really, but i love what they are doing with family guy.

McFarlane is pretty big too, but not for kids at all as said. Way too expensive. I remember when their Spawn guys were $8. Now everything is no less than $10. I hesitated on the Matrix lobby guys because they were $12 a piece. Really regret that now....

I coulda got one twin for $10. What good is one without the other? Plus, I hate the Twins. I didn't think they were that cool to begin with. I didn't think I could sell it for much without the other on eBay without the other so I didn't bother.

I think the reason McFarlane doesn't sell to kids as much is because they aren't easy to play with. Most of them are set to be displayed a certain way, and leaves little room for IMAGINATION! :D
 Katarn07

And they break easily. The old and new stuff are very fragile. Plus, what kind of parent would buy kids Spawn toys? That's a very adult comic full of intense violence and demonic images, strong language, and the occasional sexual thing. I'll admit, I read them when I was little but I was mature enough to do so at age 8-10. I only played with series 1 and 2 guys. I broke most of them; very fragile things. Even the ones I collected tended to break if someone bumped the shelf :rolleyes:
