Why I buy an action figure:
mazsopinions-deactivated2014030 asked:
Okay, I forgive you. This whole time I thought action figures were stupid, pointless toys mostly for childhood roleplay... ...until I saw the Daft Punk action figures. I want them. I want them so bad. Yes, Daft Punk now has action figures.
Thanks a lot, you reminded me of Electroma, and now I hate you forever.
adam16bit asked:
You've made us books, you've done swell statues. Will you make us Ultra Car action figures? (Swappable hands a bonus for maximizing letting the birds fly.)
If I ever do action figures, Amazi-Girl’s first.
pantslessinanity-deactivated201 asked:
I vaguely remember you mentioning a website that makes customized character stands for action figures a few years ago. Are they still around? I have some Mass Effect action figures that can't stay upright with the ones they come packaged with.
I think that musta been someone else!
Ask Chris #71: The Punisher… For Kids!
By Chris sims
Q: Has there ever been a Punisher toy line? If not, what kind of vehicles or Punisher toys could you come up with? — @Protoculture27
A: Back when I was still buying action figures that weren’t Destro, I always kept an eye out for Punisher figures, but unfortunately, he’s never been able to carry a full line of toys himself. And really, I can see why: You might be able to get a few variations out of Frank Castle himself, the rest of the line would pretty much consist of Microchip, Jigsaw, and maybe an “army builder” box full of dead mobsters that you could pile up around him. That’s about as far as you could go with it. There just aren’t enough recurring characters to fill out an entire line.
Of course, there’s also the fact that the Punisher is a guy who straight up murders people all the time, and that can be a difficult sell to parents out doing their Christmas shopping.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that there haven’t been any Punisher figures. There are plenty, mostly because the Punisher hit the high point of his popularity during a time when Marvel Comics was owned by a toy company, and as we all learned from America’s daring, highly trained Special Missions Force nothing quite appeals to the kids like an action figure of a guy who comes with his weight in guns, especially if they actually fire!
That’s the thing about Punisher figures : As much as I love the character he is the last person that should ever be made into a toy for children. The best thing you can say about him is that he fights bad guys, but even at his absolute best, he’s a guy who does nothing but kill other people, and he does it constantly, because he hates them. It is completely insane that someone would make a toy of that, but they did, and the fact that these exist will never stop being hilarious.

I'm currently in a relationship where the "hobby or me" question was answered by me just cutting down on my hobby. Right or wrong decision, I don't know, but buying CD's isn't that importnat to me.
Well, no, not with MP3s out there!
If only Ethan could download action figures to his hard drive.
I sat down to my computer desk, processed my photo, and eventually looked back at the cat tree, and the cat had gotten up there without disturbing the two precariously-standing action figures, because I have the best cat.
Before I start complaining about people, I want to start with that I am a geek, a nerd, a collector of comics and action figures, a Star Wars fanatic, a Batman buff, and a guy who likes to look at facts and the history behind everything.
*SNIP*
I’ve mostly learned to leave the internet to it’s own silly devices but that is quite possibly the dumbest and most factually INCORRECT summation of “A History of Comics” that I have ever seen.
Brother, you need to read yourself some McCloud, some Eisner, and the Ten Cent Plague. Because basically everything you just wrote in defense of superhero comics is grossly wrong.
Ok I’ve made this thing rebloggable sans Walky because it is important to me that this OP gets his ass fucking handed to him, but I don’t want that goddamn strip getting more notes than it already has because of reasons I outlined last time I reblogged it. (Suffice to say, guys, start reblogging women and just generally everyone else that isn’t a hetdude when they say this exact same shit because, hey, this isn’t actually a problem that screws things up for hetdudes.)
you’re right
sorry i tried
