I decided to start collecting the Jakks Pacific Rocky line, and I started with this figure depicting one of the most famous moments in film history. I only have 64 more figures to get to complete the line.

Where do I apply to join this cult?

Ever since the BCC started, and all the way until now as the DR, Mox group has either been the worst thing in wrestling or the best thing in wrestling during any given storyline. At the moment it’s awesome with this Will Ospreay stuff and I just want to go train on the roof and get indoctrinated by Jon Moxley too.

I think I’ve realized why I can never fully commit to collecting Star Wars figures, despite Star Wars itself being one of the most important franchises in my life.

In looking for the line I would want to collect, I realized there is a trifecta that I like, and every Star Wars line only has 2 out of the 3 things. Which are

  1. Toyetic energy/personality
  2. Modern articulation
  3. Strong likenesses

Every line seems to sacrifice one of those things.

Black Series to me feel more like physical screenshots than an actual toy line. Very technically impressive, but weirdly emotionally flat. It’s the same reason MCU figures do nothing for me.

30th Anniversary Collection
I was looking at them today thinking “THIS feels more alive,” but then I zoom in on Luke or Han and the likenesses are absolutely brutal.

Kenner and TVC , as much as I respect them for changing the game, feel dated because I didn’t grow up with them and don’t have poseability.

Basically what I want, similar to Marvel Legends and wrestling figures, is a stylized, toyetic, highly articulated Star Wars line that maybe doesn’t exist yet.

Does anyone else feel this way or am I insane?

Its time to prepare for the new Scary Movie (don’t want to miss important plot points) by watching the originals and the movies they are spoofing. I wonder what would be the best possible double feature of a movie and the movie that spoofs it?

Star Wars/Spaceballs
Top Gun/Hot Shots
Lethal Weapon/Loaded Weapon
Etc
