I'm not usually terribly keen on the blue background -- I think it somehow distracts the eye from the figures themselves -- but I was shocked to discover how easily it's removed! Seriously, I was able to isolate the figures from the background in the first image below in three minutes or less. If I find that this initial experience wasn't just a fluke, I may have to take advantage of this to make more toy comics.

Bring on the classic figures, Character Options. I'm ready!

A few days ago, I asked a question... and now, it's answer time! But first, let me say that you shouldn't feel too bad if you didn't get this one. Not that you would or should feel bad, of course -- and if you do, keep in mind that I wouldn't have asked it if the answer were completely obvious. Moreover, even if you answered incorrectly, you likely based your conclusion on correct premises. You might also have guessed correctly based on incorrect premises, in which case you're just lucky. 😉 (more...)

Phoenix (Jennifer Widerstrom) is well fit... (more...)

Suppose that you are me.

Now suppose that you are me and this doesn't cause you to immediately hurl yourself in front of a double-decker bus approaching at 80 mph.

Still with us? Good!

You walk into a Hot Topic store and, as you browse the action figures in the back, you find two figures that strike your fancy. More importantly, you remember that you have $4 left on a gift card -- and, given that you've had this card for at least two years, you think it might be a good idea to spend the rest of the money today. Which of the two options below most appeals to you? Or rather -- since you are me, owing to the premise -- which do you think would most appeal to me?

A) NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Michelangelo -- $15.99

B) Marvel Select Zombie Hulk -- $4.99

There are no prizes for a correct answer, but perhaps it will allow you to feel secure in the knowledge that you have correctly deduced my actions in this particular situation. 😉
