Liberals. Specifically, those democratic socialist types that attend blue-state universities, and have tuned in to CNN for so long that they're too fucking STUPID to recognize when they're calling for everyone's basic human rights to be taken away. They try to justify it by deluding themselves into thinking they're being victimized every day. You've seen them. They typically use the word "Nazi" as a blanket term to describe people they don't like or agree with.

How about Marxistanian?

You're more likely to develop sleep apnea with a congested nose. I'd rather deal with a runny nose. Wiping all that mucus flowing out is annoying, but it's worth it if you can still breath.

I already made an action figure thread, so all non-articulated stuff can be posted here. This can include PVC statues, funko pops or cosplay items. Even t-shirts. I'm too lazy to take pictures, so I'll just upload official product photos for now. I'm gonna start with my Kotobukiya Bishoujos. Here, you see Raven and Zatanna from DC, Jubilee from X-Men, and Ibuki and Juri from Street Fighter. Raven was made in three different colors. I got the 2nd Edition as the indigo costume is the most accurate to her comic appearances. I'm not particularly attached to Jubilee. I got her as a gift, though I am pleasantly surprised that the one I got came with her original 90's era shades. I think that was an SDCC-exclusive feature? Not sure, but it's pretty rare nowadays. The masked Ibuki was a Koto-US exclusive which is probably no longer available outside of Japan. Sucks for anyone who didn't jump on that pre-order. Koto's so so good at making Western characters in anime-style. I'm really looking forward to adding Rainbow Dash to the collection. And I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an SFV-Juri. Next is the Megahouse Ibuki PVC Statue. I can't believe how old this is. She still holds up. Now for some Infinity Gauntlets. Starting with the Infinity War replica from Marvel Legends, complete with light-up infinity stones, audio effects taken straight from the movie, and articulated fingers controlled by a set of pull-rings in the interior. And yes, you can make it flip people off. The new Gauntlet from Endgame will come with the same features, and fortunately, I have it on pre-order. Now because I was first exposed to Thanos way back in 1995, I had to get this classic Infinity Gauntlet as well. This foam gauntlet matches the look it had in the comics, from a time when the stones were still being referred to as the GEMS. Too bad it can't be worn like a real glove. That would have shot the value of this thing up enormously. Speaking of wearable gloves, I did get these cheaply-made cosplay gauntlets from China not too long ago. If they can get around to making more presentable gauntlets that you can fully control with your fingers, I will pick them up in an instant. Until then, I gotta settle with wearing this shit. And because I'm an MLP fan, I gotta show off my Vinyl Scratch love. I think this one's more or less a requirement for any fan of hers. The Fan-Series Vinyl Scratch with the DJ booth.... not so much. But still nice to have. And these were bought on impulse more than anything. I normally don't bother collecting this series of pony figures, but since VinylDash IS my OTP, I just couldn't help myself when I saw these two All-About ponies hanging together in a toy aisle. I'll probably list all the shirts I have on my wall later. [ I have no idea why this second funko Vinyl pic is here, but I can't delete it. Fix these forums, please. ]

If you're smart, and you're going to an institution where Liberal Arts courses are mandatory for the diploma you want, you are ENTITLED to cheat. I did when I detected bullshit in the curriculum, and I'm not the least sorry about it. Those commie professors can all fuck themselves.

And lastly, a very special Alien Queen. The red one from the Aliens Genocide comics. I haven't read Genocide myself. The basic premise is a war between xenomorph hives; the black ones that we all know from the movies, and this red sub-species that spawned from a genetic mutation of some sort. While I'm not sure of the outcome, the red ones are arguably more intimidating to look at. And this Queen is more than just a new paint job. Some shots of her being a bitch. And dying. Oh, and I also have NECA'a deluxe Aliens Queen. I just haven't taken her out of the package. Not sure if I want to use her for any projects or wait for her market value to go up like crazy and sell her. I could still get the Queen from Resurrection either way though.

Just a couple new additions, but pretty significant ones. I wasn't planning on getting another Kenner tribute from NECA, but like the Scorpion Alien, this Predator Clan Leader is pretty exceptional. The design's not too far removed from what you would expect in the movies, yet it's still interesting enough to make it stand out from the rest of the tribute series. What really sold me on this were the tentacles. They're by far the most advanced, most otherworldly pair of melee weapons ever conceived for a Predator. And that is something I want to see incorporated in a new sequel should they get around to it after that shitfest movie from last year. The paint job is simply amazing. The white dreadlocks together with the orange skin and dark teal armor is such a good color combination. I wish the mask was better, but oh well. At least he looks good enough with the mask off, and not a lot of Predators can pull that off. Now for some shots of him killing like a boss.

TDS runs pretty damned high here.

Now I'll end this with all the pics I took last night. Regrettably, I couldn't shell out the cash for a custom diorama (not kidding; a single 12x12 floor piece matching the look of steel grating alone sells for more than $30). So I had to make do with the kitchen counter top. Again. Not that I'm complaining, because the blood I used might have been easier to pick up on that surface. Enjoy!

Now for some cloaked Predators. First up, the cloaked City Hunter from Predator 2. I really just bought this as a shoe-in for the Mad Predator that NECA didn't make. It's understandable why they wouldn't bother doing it; it's simply the Predator Hunter with an alternate head. Not worth the money. Might as well get him in "stealth mode". Of course, when he arrived, I had to put that slime to the test. And it did not disappoint. And finally, the Lootcrate-exclusive "Jungle Demon", aka the cloaked Jungle Hunter from Predator 1. Because why not? I normally don't bother with variants, but this was just too compelling not to pick up. It's not often you see figures of these guys blending in with all the green in the jungles they hunt in. That split camo look is superb. And they even nailed the eyes too.

Now for the Scorpion Alien; or rather, NECA's reinterpretation of the one that Kenner made. This is everything that kids WANTED those toys to be. This one's quite fierce indeed. Between him and the Chrysalis Alien, the Scorpion probably has the best paint job of them all, but beyond that, a highly elegant sculpt. I love those added spikes and head ridges, not to mention that stinger tail. It's too bad this was a tribute to a largely inferior figure. The people who worked at Kenner should be hanging their heads in shame after seeing this.

Here's the xenomorph from Alien: Defiance. If you're not aware, it's a Dark Horse comic that's written as a follow-up to the Alien: Isolation game, which makes this guy 100% canon. I haven't read it myself. He's supposedly from a hive without a queen, so what they would do to propagate is turn human hosts into eggs rather than dump Facehuggers on them. However that works, I just got him for that badass looking cranium and curved legs. With his maximum height, I figured he'd make a good stand-in for the Royal Guard mid-boss. He definitely feels like a higher status Alien.

Next, we move onto the fun stuff: my new NECA figures. Here's another battle damaged xenomorph. Nothing too spectular about this one. It's just a standard xenomorph warrior, repainted in brown with some acid wounds slapped onto the ribcage. But it gets the job done. You gotta have some of these guys in the process of getting fucked up by heavy artillery. And because not all the xenomorphs from Capcom's AvP game were given figures, I felt a quota had to be filled. So I got three more, all of which are totally unique. Here's the Albino xenomorph, based on a concept that sadly got cut from Aliens before filming began. These would have been the hive's busiest drones. You never saw how they cocooned people after they were captured for gestation. Apparently, the albinos would have done it with their tongues. Really long tongues. I love the movie as it turned out, but looking at this, I can't help but wonder about all the things that could have been.

Hooooooohh, boy. Here is a massive, and I mean, MASSIVE update to my AvP collection since I lasted posted. I must have spent at least $300 on all this. Holy hell...... First, I'm gonna start with some props and accessories. You can't have too many of those if you're gonna build a scene surrounding your figures. First up, some fodder: A set of Kenner's original Alien figures from the 90's. These things suck all kinds of tremendous ass; not just in execution, but in design. This series is a perfect example of how companies took advantage of kids not knowing about quality. I would feel so sorry for your parents if you begged them to buy these for you back in the day. The Scorpion Alien is really the only one that doesn't seem that obtuse, as I could easily see it blending in with a hive from an actual movie. But the rest are beyond terrible. I'm glad I never got into these when I was little. Because all they're good for is getting ripped apart. Which I was more than happy to do with this set as soon as it came in the mail. What good is a hive without dead xenomorphs? And if you're gonna have some dead ones lying around, more tools for your marines to do the killing are a must. Hence, this USCM accessory pack from NECA. Dutch and Linn could really use some more guns aside from the ones they came with. Here we have an extra pulse rifle with an attachable muzzle flash, a flamethrower with an attachable flame, a knife, a pistol and a shotgun. And those sentry guns are a more than welcome addition to any shootout. The rest is just kinda there. I've no need for a backpack or a helmet, which is clearly meant to be the one Newt wore. And now for the slime. Because when things bleed, you have to buy it for them. I haven't forgotten about the Facehuggers. They're born in this shit. I mixed a few batches together for both the xenomorphs and the predators. I've even bought some glow powder, but since the glowing isn't showing that well on my camera, I'll have to make do with these lit up shots.

No, and no. Too many bad memories. You'll be hard-pressed to find someone whose transition to adulthood was more fucked up than mine. The only reason I'd go back to my high school was if I was in the mood to vandalize it. Or take a shit in the class swimming pool outside the gym. I have zero respect for that place.

Since NECA's in the business of making every Alien and Predator that ever was into figures, I say they ought to start looking into a new line based on AvP: Extinction on the PS2. This game is highly underrated. There are only so many designs you can come up with for each species, yet the developers managed to come up with some pretty memorable and outright badass units across all three. I know I'd order quite a few of them if NECA made them into figures. Such as the Spear Master: The Disc Master: And the Stalker. ESPECIALLY the Stalker: The Carrier Alien would be really nice to have. This thing would help the hive by transporting facehuggers in its back! The Ravager is the most powerful purebred xenomorph in all creation. If this game was a FPS, this thing would make you shit your pants faster than the cyberdemon. I also happen to think Extinction had the best Predalien. If you're gonna have an Alien with dreadlocks, don't make them so obnoxious looking. AvP: Requiem got it wrong. And boy, oh, boy. The K-Series. NECA could bank plenty on these Weyland-Yutani manufactured xenos alone. Just look at that fucking Queen! There's even a Predqueen. I can't believe I forgot about this bitch. She was a pain to fight. And the Exosuit. Gotta have an Exosuit. Who needs a Power Loader?

And at long last, the arcade Aliens arrived. The whole set is complete. Let the war commence! Oh, and I've decided to get another Warrior Alien. One with some added functionality. Battle damage! I could just hear this thing screaming.

Ideally, it should be Doctor Doom. He's always been Marvel's main villain, and the only one who's fought virtually every hero in their own comic books. But given that woke direction they're dead set on taking the MCU in, I don't really care anymore because whoever the big bad is, they'll just botch him up and purposely weaken him to make all the females look good.

From a small yacht. Dying from just hitting the water alone removes the experience of drowning, so it wouldn't count.

You've been given a death sentence, but have the option of being thrown in either of these two inescapable situations: 1. Your hands are cuffed, your feet are weighted down by cement shoes, and you're dropped in the middle of an ocean. 2. Your hands and feet are cuffed, and you're pushed out of a helicopter flying just above the top of the Empire State Building. Your landing spot is smack dab in the middle of an intersection. What will it be?
