Ah, I don't mind open display. The need to dust and clean forces me to interact with my collection more than I otherwise might.
In totally unrelated news, a publisher has expressed interest in the novel series I've been working on. It's just a first step, but you know, prayers to Thor, Zeus, Baron Samedi, Yaweh, the FSM, whoever, good thoughts, burnt offerings, whatever...all would be appreciated. Trying not to get too excited yet myself. |

I don't get the giant-brick-love either.
Fish tanks? But how will that prevent the dust build up? Oh, turn them upside down. Duh. But... the water? And that's a reference to something, I'm sure of it. What, I have no idea. |

Haters gonna hate. Or something.
Anyway, got my final FFS shipment in today. Talk about cheap... they used the free Priority Mail boxes from the post office to ship via FedEx. In other words, they stole them. Inside were the admittedly awesome mailer boxes (that they apparently can't use for Iceberg). I'm not sure whose brain fart it was to ship two figures with XL bubbles together though... my cards were okay, but that was a tight fit that I can easily see causing damage. One Blackout card was dinged (and double date-stamped for some reason) but that'll be my opener. I'm in the minority it seems, but I like Blackout for the most part. I'm a fan of the character, so that helps. (Go read the DDP series if you haven't already. Good stuff for the most part. I LOVED WW3.) Yeah, the head sculpt is goofy, but given it's the only thing they had to work with short of sculpting an all-new head it's okay. The green lens highlights give me pause though. Not sure why they went with that over the red. There's no redeeming the card art though. I can almost guarantee this was an ego-massage job bestowed upon a marginally-talented club employee, crony, or family member. Barrel Roll is meh. The DTC deco is bland, the head is beyond generic, and the helmet looks like poo. A few years back I took this Duke, painted his hair brown and called it good enough for BR. It still wins. TNT... oy. I know what they were going for here, and I like the idea, but the source material helped nobody at any point whatsoever. The colors I'm fine with given he's done up like an Argentinian flag, but LAWDY is they bright. Blowtorch was a flawed figure to begin with, given his crooked leg and derpy grin and off-center neck. I do like the card art... I just wish he looked like the card art. All in all, I liked FFS1. The only figure I didn't keep was Jinx. The rest ranged from good-enough-for-the-back-row to kickass. Were they worth the cost? I'll leave that decision until after next year's con set comes out, and I can sell the Stalls all together for ELEVENTY BILLION DOLLARS!

Can't... can't you just ignore the account and it'll die eventually?
I mean, what's the need to "delete" the account? |

Bombstrike is going to be the 13th Figure in FSS 2.0. BOOK IT.
Unless there's a Tiger Force Bombstrike in the 2014 Tiger Force Con Set. |

I can see the club doing a TF Bombstrike just because they like to be "clever." But my prediciton is regular Bombstrike, who has been captured by Munitia and HISS (I'm guessing we're getting some of the Plague here) with some lame-ass Tiger Force joes to rescue her.
