Never heard of these "JND Studios Platinum" figures before, but stumbled upon this YouTube clip* today... alternately fascinating and kinda creepy.  Almost too life-like to be believed!


*Korean language, I believe, but with English subtitles.

I’m still waiting for that 27” Lynda Carter WW statue that’s been in the pipeline for years now.

My word, the realism on the Wonder Woman is unbelievable.

You'd think artists might at least get some free PJs out of the merchandising. :^)

Lego
My son loves Lego and has been collecting the
Super Mario sets. I've been building the
latest sets he got for Christmas with him and
encountered the same issue that JB has
mentioned several times about overly complex
internal structures. Annoying.
Except.
I've been watching my son build these overly
complex internal structures and realised that
they are part of the joy for kids of building
the Lego sets. And all is forgiven. They make
the building experience for kids more fun.

JB, looks like the Lynda Carter statue is finally on the way?  This video was posted only 2 days ago:

Hmmm. Doesn’t really look like Lynda.

She was always brushing her hair off her shoulders on the TV show but that doesn't seem like the most heroic of poses.

Earlier today I found a statue of Wolverine that demonstrated the deep hypocrisy of the blue/black “debate”. The black on his mask was blue. The black stripes on his sides were blue. The black on his boots was—still black.

Cuz, see, his boots really are blue, so making the black blue would……

Ah, to heck with it!!

JB - Saw a model kit recently on Youtube for the original Lost in Space Jupiter II. Even though it was simplistic, was quite nice. I don't think I've seen that in your collection. Do you own it? Of course, I've seen the awesome Robot you have on display (but now I can't remember if that was Robbie or B-9)!

I was not a huge fan of LOST IN SPACE. Loved the robot, but the ship didn’t do much for me.

My full sized robot is Robbie.

Hello All! Just acquired a holy grail of mine I have been searching for for the last three decades, she arrived this morning. Was Happy to finally put her on one of my shelves. Can't wait for the new Man of Steel JB statue in March
