Every toy person on FB right now: I DONT KNOW WHERE THESE PICS CAME FROM, but…

Hey @danlarson.bsky.social I know you’re a NH man. I’m up in VT for the week w the fam for vaca and was wondering if you had any recommendations for shops in the area that are worth checking out. We’re in the boonies in Ludlow.

My fist computer game was Red Alert. I gave my cousin that lived down the street the Red disc and we’d do dial up battles and have to get off when our parents needed the phone. The days…

What is the movie that came out before you were born that you've watched the most times? Parents saw it in theater while I was marinating, always jokingly attributed my love of Ghostbuster to that.

Funny thing is, I had more Corps than Joes as a kid. This is my original childhood lineup.

This is the one thing I’ve wanted out of Classified since the line began. It is whole. My final request is Astro Viper. Both vanilla and Star Brigade versions please.

Holy shit, it wasn’t a cliffhanger! Well fuckin done, trainee!

I specifically remember popping the front off the DKC Batcycle, recognizing I’d seen the actual mold before, and realizing they’d reused the Robocop cycle.

I love this line almost as much as Robin Hood. Even as a kid, between this, Robin Hood, and Dark Knight Collection, my brain was seeing similar things between them and thinking “waaait”

Mezco Supercape is great. Fabric, wiring, S material. All top notch.

Fun. Do wish the classes scaled similarly, but they look cool and are fun so I don’t really care that much.

Congratulations. It’s a potato. @bertmanning.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Both 100% fun. I’m becoming a Blokees fan. This one and IronMan have me SUPER excited for Hush Batman and Catwoman. They’re fun toys and scratch that Lego itch at the same time.

Congratulations. It’s a potato. @bertmanning.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Got the Blokees and Mezco movie Supermans in today. Both fantastic. Aside from the Shooter McGavin edition and Hot Toy, I think I’ve gotten every affordable version.

youtu.be/KUybHRIYm20?... The end of Ninja Gaiden 4 still gives me goose bumps. Youve beat the game, credits start popping up while you’re playing, finally bright and lit on rooftops, fully powered up and just RIPPING through dudes with this shit pumping. Fucking love NG4.

Do the 1A. I found a reissue Ecto on clearance and got it just to make a 1A. I’ve always loved the way it looks and the caution stripes.

Kind of wild John Tuturo fan cast as Alberto and ended up playing Camine like 3 decades later

I’m going to be pretty irked if/when Lanterns ends on a cliffhanger. Not that I hate cliffhangers, I hate that resolutions now come 2-3 years later, not a couple months.

Caught up on first three issues, added to pull. SUPER fun book, well done to you and the whole team

Might just be me being “old,” but it’s weird that this was ever really a discussion. PS, inspirational as hell you moving to JP and actually following your dream. ✊

Maybe I’m taking crazy pills, but were people perplexed by this? Confused?

Finally got a Scarecrow from the Batman Begins line. I absolutely love the Begins and Superman Returns lines. Even though they’re Mattel, they both seem like the end of the Kenner era.

Finally got around to reading after finding the first two issues while out of town. MAN it’s good. Actually has me interested in other PR teams aside from MMPR. Art and writing top notch, super fun, highly recommend.

I’ve got the “and Guns” part of a CAG set of anybody’s interested. Just looking for like a 5er for shipping. Hit me up if anyone seeing this is interested

Honestly still baffles me what a great looking Batmobile McFarlane did, and fumbled so hard on the canopy shape. It makes and breaks the entire look.

Finally got a CAG set, and holy shit what a difference it makes. Batmissile is next.

I think “this is BS, inhumane, shouldn’t be like this, and is causing irreparable harm” is entirely compatible with “this is the way these companies work, makes sense in their view, and is going the way they see best.”

BTW I love getting affordable “vintage” stuff packaged and opening it. If it’s less than $40, it’s getting opened.

Some Kenner BTAS for #VintageToyTuesday. On a Batman kick after the Lego Batmissile. Got the two DUO weirdos super cheap OC local, and finally got a Catwoman while in Myrtle for anniversary. My self restraint w only getting Catwoman was legendary. They had a lot on my list.

Online exclusive? Ok, that’s fine and normal. But why the fuck can’t I get off work at 430, or hell, even 2 hrs later during lunch, and just hop on and order? WHY IS IT SO GODDAMNED DIFFICULT. It’s turned into a chore, and I have enough fucking chores.

Congratulations. It’s a potato. @bertmanning.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I don’t like to complain, but I’m gonna complain. This takes all the fun out of collecting and is partly why I dropped off w Joes. NF S-E has been my #1 wanted figure since the line started. And it’s an exclusive. That sells out in 10 min. At 10am on a Friday.

Would have liked her NG2 appearance better, but it’s Momiji, I’m getting it regardless.

Yaaaaaaaasss. As wary as I was, I ended up really liking Yakumo as a character. 100% sold.

Congratulations. It’s a potato. @bertmanning.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Agreed. That being said, if I find it at retail, I’ll prob still get it just bc I’m a Batman Returns slut.

Congratulations. It’s a potato. @bertmanning.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Man, this thing was super fun. One of my favorite vehicles. If you ever wanted a Kenner Batmissile in Lego form, this is it. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Congratulations. It’s a potato. @bertmanning.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Got the Batmobile, Batwing, and Batmissile. If Lego does the Batskiboat, I may shit myself.

Pretty nice grabs from our local comic show. Glad to have the purple Joker since GameStop sent me the Kenner colors.
