Where is the retro cardback Doc Ock? So tired of him being released in two packs alongside a crap figure.

I caved and bought the VHS one with Aunt May. Sucks because I spent up for it right before BBTS started offering it for much less. Definitely got burned by that but he is a great figure and my ideal version of the character.

BMI is terrible for muscular people, but I feel like if you're into fitness enough to have an inaccurate BMI because of muscle tone then you're probably beyond it being a useful tool too. It's fine for lazy folks like me who spend most of their waking hours looking at one screen or another.

For sure, it's been dead on the news front for a while. We're running on empty in here.

I like the business talk when it happens. Making the toy line survive financially is more interesting to me than what body fat percentage Road Pig should have. I like the anatomy chatter too. It's always interesting to see what different people bring to the table.

Does that one actually have bendy arms? I think I like the look of the one in the Silk pack, just waiting for it to go down low enough on clearance. Was it you who called the 2 packs "hostage packs"? Bang on description! They must know it's kind of scummy.

I did the same for Octavius, and despite initial reservations, was glad to also add May to the collection. I'm also glad the "cell shading" isn't like the X-Men VHS packs, so they fit in with normal Legends.

It always elicited a chuckle. One generally knows what shape they're in. It's just funny that a machine in front of a fitness place was calling people they'd likely pay to use as models for their supplements "morbidly obese."

That Silk figure is really good, her head especially.

I went to a doctor a year or two ago. Had my first experience of gout. I'm 5'10" and weigh 215lbs. But I'm muscular and have been working out for 35years. The doctor looked at my stats (height/weight) and said "we have to get you down to 150lbs." I could have died laughing right then and there. If I went down to 150lbs I'd look like a prisoner of war. I don't think I've been 150lbs since I was in middle/high school. Needless to say, I haven't gone back to that quack.

I like those PACrats from Gridiron. I've only ordered once from Gridiron, since I find their stuff to be overpriced. But I think Hasbro could make some interesting modular PACrats. And maybe pack in a figure with each one.

Hostage packs is a pretty
fun way of putting it.


Yeah, the Aunt May Ock has the Bendy Wire arms.

That would be a fantastic set. Offer up 3 new versions of the OGs in a that are totally modular. Drop in a new Breaker or a Classified version of High Tech.
