Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day: More General Brown. I dig the base, it's a cool thing to include. The glasses are decent, but I know how hard those are to do correctly. Overall I think he's quite good for the price. I'll have to look at more Operation Monster Force.

They had me until the said "like Invincible". Don't really want to see that.

I just want a good crossover...don't care what format.

Looking at him again this morning. I think I see what you're talking about. It's because of his 'jacket'. It's plastic and makes the shoulder joints more pronounced when you raise his arms. Some angles it looks odd. But straight on it's ok.

I didn't notice anything off.

Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day: Here's my first Operation Monster Force figure: General Brown. I got him to go with my Joes. Hawk is cool, but having a uniformed general fig is cooler, especially since he looks kinda like Carl Weathers. Plus multiple head (and hand) options to change him up!

Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day: More with Storm Arena Ryu. You can use the stand for posing or for the fireball. And Ryu does, at least, pose very well.

John Spencer @johnospencer.bsky.social · 2d

Agree 100% He comes with so much stuff. I just wish he had more hands...

Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day: Storm Arena Street Fighter Alpha Ryu! Much like Ken, he's a great figure. Good accessories and very posable. Love the stand, it's top tier. Has a fireball effect rather than Ken's Dragon Punch.

Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day: Blowtorch, part 2. I love the alternate fire effects. Glad they included those with him. Very characterful! The only thing missing from this figure? Extra hands, I'll give the heads a pass with the awesome helmet.

Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day (more or less): So much going on I occasionally miss posting.

Anyways: Here's Classified Blowtorch. One of my favorites growing up, I love how he's a great combination of classic look but modernized.

Action Figure Pic(s) of the day: More with bases. They work pretty good for some female figs that are hard to stand. Still some challenges: Not enough ankle tilt or too small holes in the feet(but can still stand with those issues). Can't fix the ones with no holes (or giant plastic capes)

John Spencer @johnospencer.bsky.social · 8d

Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day: Got these bases for figures on Amazon. They were cheap and did not expect much, but they're pretty good. A tight fit on some figures, but still can hold them up as long as the ankle is decent. Snake's ankles are meh, but they can still hold him up. Very pleased.

Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day: More with Law and Order. I love Order's little helmet with doggles. And I dig that Law can store almost all his gear. No knife sheath, but i'll live.

John Spencer @johnospencer.bsky.social · 10d

Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day: Law and Order. Another 'what Classified should be' pack. Extra hands lots of accessories. Two head for Order (and doggles!). Very much like this pack. I don't mind the price for what you get.

Action Figure Pic(s) of the day: Here's Snake Eyes v3. I never had this one growing up, but I dig that he's completely different than the others. I don't like the look as much. Figure-wise, kinda lacking on accessories (no hands, no pistol, no knife), normal poseability.

Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day: Ultra Boy from the Legion of Super Heroes. Saw in on a FB post and had to go find him. Wasn't too expensive, which is good...because he's not great. Smaller scale 5" vs my normal 6", not very poseable...but he *is* my favorite Legionnaire.

Action Figure Pic of the Day: Just a picture of Rom. Things have been crazy and I need to take some more pics...

John Spencer @johnospencer.bsky.social · 16d

Action Figure Pic of the Day: Not an action figure, but a plushie...but it's what I got today. I love FFVII and Red XIII is one of my favorite characters. So, when I saw the plushie I had to.

Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day: Some side-by-sides of Falcon and Flint. I thought they had more reuse between the, but it's only the beret, with a little repaint overall.

Action Figure Pic of the Day: After my internet escapades, I forget where I left off...but here's Alf with a mini-gun, because I could!

Update. At 7.25" tall, this is not 1/12 scale. Closer to 1/10 (or 1/11 if that were a thing).

John Spencer @johnospencer.bsky.social · 27d

Action Figure Pic of the Day: Nightforce Falcon. Way better than the normal one. Some cool accessories, and some unnecessary. Helmet head and guns are cool. Nightvison should've been for Quarrel. Flashlights should've been extra hands for Falcon. Overall solid set.

1/12th scale you say...

Action Figure Pic(s) of the Day: Nightforce Falcon and Quarrel. Not as good as Beachhead and Quick-Kick. Quarrel has extra hands a helmet head and a bunch of weapons. Seems like they wanted to set her up as a troop builder, but the holster for her bolts is not removable. Still pretty decent.
