I just wish his hands weren’t built into the forearms like that. Seems such a wasted opportunity for a mold they will almost certainly use multiple times.

Accurate.

Yeah, I felt that way about the Optimus version of that mold. I was so ambivalent initially, but now I can’t put it down. 😂

Close up screen grab of the image from the above post (a poster for Titanic 2). The image is zoomed in on the smoke stack of the ship which looks like it has googly eyes and a worried expression.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

INTERVIEW OF

BY LCDR
11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible
12 operations?
13
A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible
16
program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named
17|
Professor
I. I did that through a mutual friend
18
of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a
20
submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

When did *you* learn that The Netherlands has so many windmills not for milling grain, but because they used them to pump water out of swampy land? For me, that would be today.

No one is paying extra for that huge display stand that is just a flat plate of plastic.

I saw this set and thought “That’s pretty tempting, but $260 for 5 Marvel Legends sized figures and two motorcycles is pretty steep.”

And then I re-read the title and they’re only 3.75” figures?!?! Go straight to hell, Hasbro. This should be $150, TOPS.
