TFARCHIVE FORUMS

Pretty much. Only had a brief look-see so far. Try not to spend too much time doom-scrolling anyway, so the vibe on Bluesky is nicer at the moment. If a few other people who share news got on board, it'd be a fairly effective replacement (and also more depressing, given the state of news and the wor...

Bit less of a response on repro rub signs, incidentally, they don't seem as reactive.

Bets on whether he gets slapped down by anyone re: the platform suicide plan to charge all users? Sades, if you're not already sorted by the time I start getting invite codes, someone kindly got me onto Bluesky yesterday. First impressions are surprise there's no MFA even if it'd be emailing one-tim...

Anyone else find that in recent heat rubsigns have been constantly active?

I think this was 28 degrees Celsius the other week, which is about 82 Fahrenheit.

I'm pretty sure this was from the first UK comic I ever read: #268 onwards (the issue I started back up with) the only original material was black-and-white five pagers. Annuals were always a grab-bag (text stories in particular). The US title had taken onboard the UK creators which added a bit of ...

I guess they figured taller than the cars was okay. Or that IH is intuitively a bit more short and stocky. Or just that if they can get away with cost-cutting as well as raising the price class they're going to do it. Shrinking versus Crosshairs is a bit cheeky though. I generally ignore Marvel US. ...

Supposedly bigger. That had definitely disappeared by late era Marvel UK when he was written back in due to the Classic Heroes re-releases.

edit: I don't think TFs is going to go gangbusters for Skybound whatever they do, the situation might settle down sooner rather than later. Email update. I think I'm going to pass unless it goes to eBook later, I'm sure the content's interesting and appreciate that people like physical objects, but ...

Great work. Thanks for sharing.

They're about 35 years behind the cool kids but I'll take what I can get.

Came across a couple of options for reasonably priced mummy figures. NECA have done a retro card glow-in-the-dark version of their Karloff without extra accessories, and the Bride of Frankenstein that's just come out looks decent with the face covering if you wipe the metallic paint off (then they l...

So assuming that e.g. the Saudis are happy enough to lose the money and leave the bone saw in the toolbox, what do they gain from letting Musk take a wrecking ball to Twitter and encourage hate groups? Well, many are fairly far to the right anyway and having a disinformation-friendly platform is a ...

For the moment. I think everything got delisted from Comixology for new purchases at the turn of the calendar year, with Hasbro not having made any arrangements. Ethical piracy or dead tree would seem to be the extent of the current options. Not quite the scorched earth and radio silence of, say, th...

Pre-orders for MTMTE notebooks 3-4 and another run of 1-2 will be taken in September: https://twitter.com/jroberts332/status/1692797286500225329 (Apparently previous customers will be contacted by email). Also this: https://twitter.com/jroberts332/status/1695730796248633848 "I’m thinking about ...

Forward planning, really. Scope for swappable bits needs to be designed in from the beginning, and usually the extras would be part of the original tooling but blocked off in production. Don't think it'd be worth doing with most figures, but they're probably going to milk a few seconds of 80s animat...

Due in October. It looks... okay? I wonder if the Earth alt-mode kibble is intentional.

Wildstorm always varied its character and costume designs a lot, often to the extent of parodying how other comics were doing it, but elements are fairly bang-on to some of the images (i.e. colour palette is relatively consistent as black & white but mostly he's wearing a white t-shirt rather th...

Snap. Shame I didn't realise there was a waiting list to sign up sooner or would have done that before the big backlogs. Almost tempted to pay a bit for one.

Will keep you in mind if I get anything.

It's worth spending a little bit of time to set up, because its primary audience is people who are into digital painting, graphics tablets, etc. So it has an interesting alternative to the right-click menu for picking tools/colours, for example, which personally I turn off. In every other respect I'...

If there's anyone UK based interested in Super7 Turtles figures, ComicsAndCocktails has some limited offers on at the moment: https://www.comicsandcocktails.co.uk/store/1-WEEK-ONLY-SPECIAL-OFFERS-ENDS-25th-AUG-2023-c147740333 Good price for Krang etc. Nice that the pack actually seems to come with t...
