I'm a longtime Deadpool fan. I was introduced to him in '97 and am quite familiar with his backstory from the Joe Kelly run. I felt the movie was respectful to the character and didn't attempt to pander to mainstream audiences. This was essential to helping Deadpool retain his edge.

Great film. Great script. Proof that you can make a movie without trying to please everyone and it can still be successful.

I just managed to find Hot Spot / Groove. Now I can't find the other four. Also still need a Blackjack.

Transformers distribution is weird, eh?

I've read that we might see Ratchet, Ironhide, Sunstreaker and Prowl (re-tools of First Aid, Breakdown and Streetwise?) to combine with Optimus Prime. That would be weird, but also kind of awesome.

I like to set up my figs around the house. Usually on a shelf or something. I'm also going to do another dio-story one of these days. I started shooting one last fall, but wasn't pleased with where it was going. It involved Long Range being escorted across the world to aim some nukes at an incoming meteorite while Cobra gave chase. (because only he possessed the skill aim them properly) Maybe later this year...

I tend to gravitate towards new versions of my favourite characters. The most exciting stuff to come out in the past couple years (for me) has been the club's Night Force set, Zombie-Hunter Clutch, Cesspool, BBTS Renegades, SDCC Jinx, SDCC Bludgeon, Jungle Viper, Zombie Viper and Retaliation Cobra Commander.

I like when they release new product. Especially when there's new characters (and there ARE new characters in there, but mostly on the Cobra side and mostly troop builders). But I'm not disappointed when they plan/release stuff I don't like. I just skip it and wait for the next year. If the line were to die, I'd still have plenty of cool stuff to set up. My imagination is still in good enough shape that I could come up with countless storylines.

That's good news indeed. I'm on the edge of leaving the hobby but if Hasbro comes back to the table and says they still have plans for Joe that might keep me around a bit longer.

That's always been a weird mentality to me. If they stopped making G.I. Joe I'd still always be a part of the hobby. Just maybe not spending so much $$$ on it. I guess for some people a collection that doesn't grow isn't interesting?

35 is way too young. Very sad to hear.
