Found the new wave of He-Man (2021) toys yesterday. Ram Ma'am, Man-E-Faces, and a clear yellow power-up redeco of He-Man. I picked up Ram Ma'am (who rang up as Ram Man). The springy torso gimmick is extremely unimpressive, I'd have preferred enough articulation to curl up into a ball (even if...

Cad Bane probably figured that he could kill Boba before bailing, and get paid later. The Pikes weren't ALL on Tatooine, after all, and even if the overall plan fell apart he could give proof of death of Boba to salvage matters professionally. ---Dave

Yeah, the chunk with motion gimmick trigger attaches via a 5mm peg. She's a bit lankier in robot mode and has a big shellpack of the cockpit, but that's probably as close as a real transforming toy can get to the show model. ---Dave

The Walmart I checked yesterday had Rattrap for $7. ---Dave

This is not how Citadel's contrast medium is supposed to be used, but just like my zombie Barricade, it works well for my purposes. And, since I just found Ravage this afternoon: ---Dave

The larger Whirl has a show-accurate helicopter, but there's no way to get from what amount to Actionmaster designs to any sort of vehicle mode without a lot of subspacing it. The Academy models don't even try to be toyetic, the only way to get show-accurate robot mode toys is the...

Note that he was still doing bounty hunting when limited to commercial starship travel. He just needed to limit himself to targets who didn't need to be transported to other worlds. (And I suppose if he did the carbonite trick, he could ship 'em space FedEx.) The thematic through-line of Book...

Yeah, one showed up locally a couple months ago (someone I know got him) and then nothing again until last week when I finally found one myself. ---Dave

A game needs to have the option to switch it. I can't stand non-inverted Y, to me pushing forwards means looking down and pulling back means looking up, and I'm constantly looking at either the sky or the ground in games that don't let me set the Y-axis and assume pulling back looks down. ---Dave

Unfortunately, as long as Ep 7-9 are canon, we know Luke failed badly in avoiding the old mistakes. (And I fully expect the spoiler weasels to be shouting about Grogu's choice by 11:05 Central time next Tuesday night.) ---Dave

I half expected the Deputy to die because he'd snicker (like I did) when Cad Bane advised the Marshall to not stick his nose where it didn't belong. I agree with the speculation that will get the Darksaber. Mando will decide that "Win it in combat, lead Mandalore" is toxic to what remains of...

I'm in a decent Free Company on Excalibur in FFXIV, they're friendly and while they do a lot of endgame raiding they don't make it their entire focus. Message me if you'd like an invite (new players can't join Free Companies until they've gotten to a certain point in the main story quest, and...

Not completely a knockoff, but this number-dino toy totally has Grimlock's head. (Mechruary slipped my mind until late last night, but I don't have enough to fill the month this time anyway, so I guess I'll run what I have and end on Valentine's Day. Posting 'em over on facebook, in a public...

I've only played XIV, been playing a little over a year now on the Excalibur server. I did play through the event crossover with XV, though. I finished Endwalker story quest content (but still have some side missions left for when I get another job up to the high 80s) on my main character over...

Yeah, it'd definitely affect the sort of jobs he can take, pretty much limited to "target hasn't left the planet yet" and "we don't want them coming back alive". Unless shipping people frozen in carbonite is something the commercial liners will do. ---Dave

http://www.eyrie.org/~dvandom/BW/Gen/RED5 - finished my reviews of the two yesterday. ---Dave

I've had Knockout for a few weeks now, in my review queue. On first impression, though, he suffers a bit from Titan Hero syndrome, in which his chest/shoulders piece is flattened a fair amount. ---Dave

They gotta have him in armor every episode for branding reasons, but they also have to explain how he reached the point where he showed up in Mando S2. They could have just left most of the "how he got there" mysterious, but they chose to focus on that story in the Book. I suspect the battle...

Quality is really poor, $6 is overcharging. And, predictably, neither of them can actually hold the sword (4mm grip). ---Dave

Found at Ross today. Only the one, no sign of the other set shown on the box back. ---Dave
