Random toy musings:

 I will be touching various subject on toys, but there isn't enough for multiple full-fledged rants, so will compile them unto one.

How come there are 1:12 scale (wooden) dollhouses and furniture but no dolls?

I mean aside some porcelain statues and some raggedy ass dolls. We RARELY get some

Almost acceptable dolls but these are rare, and hard to get. Somehow there is a secondary market for these. Seen scalpers trying to sell them for 90 bucks. These are supposed to be in the $35-40 range. Thing that got me chuckling was that the kids have names whole the parents are Mommy and Daddy. Also the pics showcase a mixed race family while the toys are whiter than milk.

Even Mattel is giving their dolls decent articulation! I'm not asking for Marvel Legends articulation  here, just enough that Daddy can sit at the dinner table AND ACTUALLY EAT HIS MEAL! (By that I mean I can pose him like he's eating.) Dude can't sit on the couch to watch the PGA tour without looking like Frankenstein's monster going on a walk.

Give us some decent sculpts and articulation, please! That's why I got into the whole Civilians lines.

Playmates is doing Power Rangers Toys and they look like ass!

But Unfortunately, they're my only hope to get 1/12 scaled TEENAGERS WITH ATTITUDE!! I've seen the Stranger Things toys. Likenesses are hit or Miss, but it might also be the only way I can get some civilians. Would be cool if we could get:

Jason, Zack, Trini, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Kimberly, Green Tommy, White Tommy, Bulk and Skull (different outfits than S7) Heck, even a Youth Center Playset with Ernie would be interesting IF DONE 1/12 scale. 

Seriously, Hasbro, you gave up Lightning collection for THIS!? 

Mattel is confusing me with MOTU PRODUCT.

Toy based Origins is now Mattel website only. Filmation based Origins is a retail product. Then there's the Concept figures and the Crossovers which are spread throughout stores.

Masterverse is both retail and website but I haven't seen retail figures since Nickelback Battle Armor He-Man. No, sorry. Sun Man was the latest Masterverse I saw on retail.

I think Skelegod and Battle Cat were the only brick and Mortar Masterverse figures that I got (as presents or bought) Everyone else has been bought online.. keeping track of product has been a bitch. Distribution issues has been the main factor in why I haven't been too into Masterverse. New Eternia, Retro figures, Netflix versions, pseudo filmation, now New Etheria, Gunman, 87 movie, soon 2026 movie... it's hard to keep track of what's retailer ex lusove, Mattel exclusive, available everywhere, and available nowhere.

Super7 radio silence on tariffs and preorders bugs me.

I don't want to keep bringing up 

Tariffs, but since they're killing the toy Industry and I have a few Super7 Preorders that were made BEFORE the Tariffs I'm worried. Especially for the 2k3 TMNT Wave 2 figures I got from Super7... That I already paid for. Because at least bigbadtoystore will let me cancel the preorders if the tariffs are too high...Meanwhile B-Flynn is silent while the S7 Facebook page is teasing preorders.

I don't want to be hit in January 2026 with Super7 trying to charge me $50 more for my Shredder and Foot Ninja. That's assuming the 145% rate reaches that date. It could either go down, or up. Please go down. WAAY Down. 

Also let me take a chance and remind y'all to gimme:

Ultimates Shipwreck!

Ultimates Melodia!!

Ultimates Pizzaface!!!

Todd, since you're doing Turtles now, what scale are they?

 I know the page punchers are about 5 inches, but will humans be 5 inches or will they be 7 inches? Inquiring minds want to know. I don't want to invest on the Turtles and then have April be shorter than them... Please be 7 inches and make Herman the Hermit Crab! Seriously. IDW Mutanimals for the win. 

Honestly Todd Redesigning the Classics would be cool. Imagine a Todd Rat King, Tokka, Rahzar, Groundchuck, Dirtbag, Wyrm, Pizzaface...

Betting these will be a pain in the ass to get because Todd... but if a cheaper Turtle Van is made, good... unless we get fucked like the Batmobile.

Also, Todd, Gimme a Klassic Johnny Cage! 

We live In a world where Skibidi Toilet toys exist...

I want an AVGN action figure... or Nostalgia Critic... thanks to Mattel we can have Logan Paul... but I want Uncle Roger, Crazy Russian Hacker and his huskies. Hell, I'll take the two sword guys who shit on Reverse grip on YT Shorts, especially if they have a ton of swords. I've been doomscrolling for the past 30 minutes and I can't find their shorts to get their channel... *update* SellswordArts is the channel. 

Hell, I got a Shoe0nhead short and I haven't seen her in years. Got a ton of Steve Harvey Family Feud  shorts though. He'll, although I haven't seen her in a while, the ca ca nah meeeelk! Koufee! Perfect! Lady and Johnny the Hawaiian dude who makes parody reactions would be a nice two pack.

Has Super Action Stuff made new stuff after the light up arcade cabinet?

I want to get some stuff, but right now I need to hunt for the Casket. And other stuff. Tempted to get some stuff straight from them...
