  1. I'm a fossil when it comes to social media stuff I avoid it like the plague. So They only pic I can see is the Stealth IM and Ghost one, both look real nice and the IM is a real shout-back to the early waves of Minimates. So much so for me I thought it was the wave 6 one on first sight and those images where just place holders for later reveals.

  2. before I start this is a post I'm writing drunk. Ive just read/scanned the post about Toy sales still being down since TRU closed, But do younger kids still play with toys as we did at their age?

    I myself will be turning 50 the end of this year and I have 2 kids in there mid to late 20's and 2 grand kids one of 7 an the other just about to hit 2, also nieces  an nephews 10 an up.

    Now I admit to being a nerd/geek well before Stranger Things brought DD back but now its super trendy. With being older and having the expendable income we look back on what we couldnt afford we go backwards.

    It just seems to me that kids now dont play with toys as we did. toy adverts dont get across the imagination of doing your own thing, even lego isnt a box of bricks now. Every piece has its place and once built dont you dare take it to bits..  A Solider figure or a nurse doll isn't something that kids seem to look upto now as thats a great thing to do.

    Even the other day was video chatting with my daughter an granddaughter and i was gobsmacked when trying to keep my grandaughter locked on the screen so she could see me as soon as the end came and My daughter said ok hit the button to end it my granddaughters finger was like a bullit click and gone. she knew the layout of a mobile phone before she is out of nappies

    I  am rambling but from what I can see kids arent being tactile or physically engaged with toys unless someone older shows them what to do.

     

  3. So does that make Ghost Rider some  sort of jinx for Marvel waves as I can only think of the movie GR set being the other Marvel wave cancelled.

    Sucks either way as it may not have been star heavy I was up for the wave even though Darkhawk and CGR where the only ones that stood out for me.

  4. Between the marvel 80th Pops and the 4 Iron maiden ones about to be released funko's hard to resist at the moment.

    Then they go an do this.

    If they start on JSA/ All Star Squadron I'm doomed.

    I think we're still waiting on confirmation that Ghostrider wave 15 is cancelled.

    DST is a little weird that way. It's one thing that disappoints me about them.

    Now that actually made me laugh out loud. Glad I wasn't drinking anything at the time, well played :)

  6. Can anyone make out the text next to Cosmic GR?

    Hopefully it says something about the dome being translucent and and the skull being on a head block because as a solid piece it looks terrible.
