At Entertainment Earth? Yes. Make sure that you have more than $59 dollars worth of merchandise and that at least some of it is in stock. Do not enter both codes. Only enter the ToyNewsI code. The $59 Free shipping discount should apply automatically, so you shouldn't have to enter that at all. If for some reason it's not applying automatically, and you have more than $59 worth of merchandise in your cart, it seems something is wrong, and I would suggest contacting EE customer service.

They're completely reasonable. The four big ones are: 1. Update the residuals agreement for the 2020s, since the same residuals model has been in use since the last strike ended in 2008 and when streaming was no where near as huge as it is now. 2. Minimum Basic Agreement salaries (minimum pay) have not been updated for years, too, and have fallen behind inflation. 3. Reform the use of mini-rooms, in which only a small number of writers are employed for a short time before a show starts production. Writers in mini-rooms typically work longer hours (compared to full writers rooms), may not be considered "full time," and are usually paid the minimum for the work they do before a series is picked up (if a show is picked up at all). And there is often a long period of time in between where they may not be working at all. Some writers who work on the pilot or first few scripts or show bible or whatever also may be not asked back when a show is greenlit. 4. Regulations regarding the use of creative AI. There are a number of other things they're asking for, too, but the above seem like the most reasonable, and if the studios agreed to these four things at least, the strike would probably end.

The big studios, Disney especially, have been pretty obstinate and downright dismissive of what the WGA is asking for. I hope it doesn't, but it may need to drag on for quite a while and get them to feel it before they're ready to negotiate in good faith and update fifteen year old agreements.

It's that way with almost so many streaming series on so many platforms. A lot of them have only five or six episodes of story at most and then stretch that **** out over ten or twelve episodes. Eighteen sounds like way too much.

I'm reading a bit of a contradiction here. Anyway, I just saw an article about how Deadpool III could be in trouble, because Ryan Reynolds can't do any of his trademark improvisation as that constitutes making changes to the script, which is forbidden during a strike under WGA rules. Also, as mentioned in the Daredevil thread, there's more to these productions than what a lot of people think about. A lot is done by workers in other unions, who won't work when the productions are being picketed by the WGA, as they consider that crossing the picket line. So, disruptions are happening even on projects that were already in production and in other areas besides writing.

My warning wasn't prompted by Air Walker. I saw no problem with that post. There is nothing wrong with talking about the shape of a figure or what's different in general terms. I am going to unhide the post that prompted my warning for clarity and lock this thread, ending the discussion. @AndyL You're new, so I'm going to cut you a little slack this time, but in the future, when a moderator or admin issues a warning in-thread, to everyone or to a specific poster, that is not an opening to talk about it. It takes the thread further off topic and frequently results in it getting shut down like this.

It has nothing to do with who's qualified to talk about it. It has everything to do with this not being the place for it.

If you guys want to have a discussion about the female anatomy, there are plenty of other places on the internet for that.

They can begin, but MCU productions make extensive use of rewrites and reshoots during production, "enhancing both the storytelling and the bottom line" [Disney speak for fixing what's not working and filling in gaps.] Can't really do that with the writers on strike.

Then Disney should hurry up and make try to make things right. They can't do it by themselves, of course, but they're the biggest entertainment company in the world, and other studios would likely follow their lead if they were to negotiate in good faith and make real gestures toward compensating writers fairly for the 2020s and agreeing to regulations on generative AI.

I imagine as long as Marvel Studios doesn't hire any scabs to write this or try using an AI, and waits for the strike to end, the final product should be fine.

The head sculpt with the goggles is on point, but considering how expressive Willem Dafoe's face is, and all the expressions he has in that movie, a bored and haggard Norman Osborn alternate head sculpt just seems wrong.

You're right about the face. This Apocalypse looks more pained than pissed.

Congratulations, @super-chillin!

Fair enough. It's clearly based on this cover by J. Scott Campbell. It's not my Rogue, either, but I think it's hard to deny that they did a good job.

Really puts the BAF to shame.

Well, I want this figure. I am not a fan of the first appearance style head with the piggy nostrils and much prefer this one. Also while still findable on Ebay, the previous Ultron is out of stock almost everywhere, except for Big Bad Toy Store, and I can't imagine they have many left. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago, but it's been almost two years.

So...just a wishlist of figures that haven't been done yet, basically. Okay. Why not? Classic Scourge Enigma Squirrel Girl (US Avengers) Modern Hepzibah Catface Beast Sin Modern Triton Warstar Ozymandias Comic Melinda May TV's Agent Carter (red hat and blue dress)

Stefan Kapičić is Serbian.

This already looks so much better than the Captain Marvel movie.

I think he's supposed to be a chubby teen, but either way.

It's not like customizing. They can't just drill holes into the torso. Alterations to the torso require new tooling just like a brand new torso. That said, they can do that, they just clearly chose not to.

There won't be wings. That would have required retooling that 12" Cap torso, and they clearly didn't do that.

No problem. I think a lot of people see "Bio PET" and think "compostable," which is designed to break down on its own over a relatively short period of time, and that's not what this is.

PET is the most easily recyclable and most widely recycled of all plastics. The earth isn't screwed because of action figure packaging or plastic straws or lightbulbs or whatever. There are much bigger problems.
