Me and my new friend, Cats’ Lair.

@dveese Mine got her today too!

Delivery 📦 Seeing this new Ghostbusters Plasma Series Rooftop Battle set is a surprise! Hasbro never showed us the packaging much less images of the production figures. Only ever posted the digital renders. Looks great!

@dveese "if we raise the price of the 6 inch figure, then the 3 3/4 inch figure will still be less expensive"

A 3&3/4” figure now the same price as a 6” one. Nope. This is where I begin to get off the train after nearly 50 years of buying that scale.

LEGO Pokémon Center reward redeemed!

@preterniadotcom Wish it was a bit more clear on what this is. I assume it's not a 100% re-issue on Tygra as the original release was wrong but it's likely just the elbow pad and different/better paint on his body (no see through abs), right?

Super7 ThunderCats Ultimates Cheetara & Tygra reissues are up for preorder at BBTS - buff.ly/zWUM5do

@dveese They’re still sitting on that Cat’s Lair I see!

Toy huntin’!

To me, my X-Men!

@dveese I always forget that one exists!

@AlanJohnson Coliseum on 192. Never been in this location.

Out and about with a pal geeking out all day today. Comics books!

@preterniadotcom That said, I would have liked her desk accessories to peg into the desk, as items like that alarm button and desk blotter are bound to slide off easily.

@preterniadotcom This line continues to astound. All over this figure.

Mondo The Real Ghostbusters 1/12 Scale Janine Timed Edition goes up for preorder next Tuesday (2/24) at Noon EST ($140.00) - buff.ly/5qupWUH

@dveese @BigBadToyStore Grabbed that Sword of Omens. Was sad I had missed the original run as it completely sold out.

Expensive post NYTF weekend of pre orders. Thanks @BigBadToyStore

Old with the new. Virtual Boy!!

Why couldn’t we get cool stuff like this before Playmates’ last hurrah?

@preterniadotcom Ugh just noticed they gave him the claw fingers from the X-Force figure. I don’t think he ever had those claws when he was in the original Archangel suit.

@preterniadotcom I'll grab this because the wings are an upgrade, but I don't love the head sculpts. They look a bit too, gentle, for Archangel, even the XTAS version. And it looks like he has the dreaded lips.

Marvel Legends X-Men 97 Archangel.

@dveese Painfully, neither have I.

🙌 To date I have never seen any of these sets in a store.

@dveese Probably helps to be close to HQ.

Just great in store toy merchandising. Best overall I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe they are finally learning again. Target MN.

@dveese And the figures seem to be timed to hit before or in sync with the movie. Imagine the concept.

Mattel’s planned marketing reveal/roll out for the new MOTU movie figures is well executed and exactly how that PR is supposed to work and spread across social. Well done.

@ThisIs1MoreGeek @dveese That could prove risky now that they seem to be ordering far fewer "extras".

@dveese Hesitant to buy any S7 figures now until the entire range is available, after the Dungeons and Dragons line died after Wave 1.

Pre ordered those S7 Tigersharks via BBTS. I’m not giving S7 all my monies up front anymore for toys a year away. Especially if they are financially struggling.

@toybroreviews Good catch! If we get that deep into the line, I would be over the moon. Always wanted human-form versions!

@AlanJohnson Just noticed, also, that Mako and Octavia are specifically listed as "Hybrid" so I guess S7 intends to make their human forms into figures also at some point.

Super7 Ultimates TigerSharks Wave 1 up for preorder direct. Direct orders include the bonus head pack collabs.shop/tbhykv
