When I worked at Toys’R’Us as a teenager like 15 years ago they had already taken off like all Star Wars guns, any nerf gun that looked realistic, and whatever those foam dot things were you could make shapes with cause it had GHB or something in it. Those were the recalls I remember. The guns were just sitting in the back waiting to be picked up by the companies/shipped back.

As someone who's had 2 1st run Camo Swamp Thing including one MIB on my wall now, I can say the color change action functions exactly the same as the 2nd run. My theory was always cost saving, as I imagined hitting one part with the extra paint was cheaper than 3.

Now that I think of it, the original Toy Biz figures of Marvel characters used to make an (X-Factor) Iceman that had blue icicle-shaped paint on him that appeared when he was placed in the freezer. Those had a generous run, but when they tried to produce a Fantastic Four Invisible Woman figure, cost won out, and the full paint job of making her turn from transparent to blue and white of her uniform, and her blonde hair and her skin color was deemed too expensive, and she was discontinued. She was later released in transparent alone, no effects. Her body and hairstyle were later repurposed into a repaint, and a mechanism was added to become a Spider-Woman II figure.

@wolfthewikkid5383 3 жыл бұрын
See, I had thought that Iceman was a myth because all I ever saw was the blue-tinted "Ice Slide Action" version that didn't have the icicle effect. I have both now, but I hear the color change version's plastic is particularly brittle.

I remember one time when I working at Hot Topic, a woman came into the store with her toddler. Although anyone can walk in, admittedly Hot Topic appeals more to teenagers, so I definitely wasn't used to seeing little kids running around the store. He went to our Funko pop wall and really wanted a Pennywise Funko pop. His mom just looked at me and said, "He LOVES Pennywise." MA'AM HE IS A TODDLER WHY ARE YOU LETTING HIM WATCH IT???? I'm not sure if she understood that IT wasn't meant for CHILDREN CHILDREN even though Pennywise is a clown. So even if a toy is advertised to 13+ or whatever the demographic, I think a lot of parents don't really understand what they're buying for their kids and then get mad about it later when they look into it. Warnings don't matter to them

I love the storyline where Al Snow beat Hardcore Holly in a match, when he hit Holly with Head, and used Head to cover him. When Holly wanted his Hardcore Title back, Al informed him that he wasn't the Hardcore Champ, but since Head had covered him, Head was the new champ, and Holly would have to ask Head for a title shot, which Holly found ridiculous, talking to a mannequin head, until he relented. Head "refused". Later, Hardcore Holly told Snow to have a match with Head, and win the belt back off him, so that then Holly could challenge Snow for the belt. Seeing Al Snow roll around the ring, fighting a mannequin head was hilarious, and finally Snow pinned Head, but used his wooden riding horse, Pepe, to do it. When Holly then asked Snow for a shot, Snow said that Pepe actually pinned Head, so now Pepe was the new Hardcore Champion. A very funny story indeed.

For the Al Snow figure they actually made a different version after the “controversy”. In the new version the head was an OBVIOUS white mannequin head. No life like features at all! When the controversy first hit I went out and bought the figure before the decision to recall the original version was made. I still have that figure and funny enough, I’ve never had the desire to sever anybody’s head. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I have the Transformers Power Core Combiners Over-run, which was originally named Spastic until it was recalled for its offensive name. Resold as Over-run after all the mention of Spastic was covered up with Over-run stickers. I got two of them, one with the stickers and one with it peeled off to show the original Spastic.

There was a line of WCW Monday Nitro figures from 1997 that vibrated. I got Sting as a gift, and was a little confused. I still am, actually. They don't even try to make the feature wrestling related, it simply says "Try Me!" on the packaging.

I used to have a "stomp rocket" in the mid 90s. I'm surprised it never got recalled. The rockets had a hard plastic on the noses and the stomping pad if not jumped on at the right spot always hurt your feet and or ankles.

I missed out on the Swamp Thing because I wanted the one with the extending rope arm instead. I also had a number of Rambo figures but didn't have Nomad. My neighbor did. Ah well. With that at least I have my black series Cara Dune and I didn't have to pay scalper prices for her.

@Back from the Deadpool My closest experience to that was when I was taken to the park after being bought a He-Man figure. I set it down so I could play and somebody else wandered off with it. I was able to get a replacement, but man it sucked at the time.

Of pretty much most female actors, gina carano was able to give great realistic fight scenes because of her ufc built physique and the fist character they didnt have to mary sue the crap out of to fain realism. Not watching 1 episode of it just vid clips...well rounded, great fight delivery and decent acting performance. Their bad!!
