    Everybody is quick to pounce on Viper Island, but The Artist Shark's content was annihilated too, and he was well liked. And I heard that there were similar strikes across the board (non Joe-related content), and that Hasbro probably has nothing to do with it, and it's a KZread issue.

    They've produced some much better and much more accurate figures since the originals but those original figures are really the closest to my heart. They're my absolute favorite out of my whole collection.

    The is scarring there. It's sculpted, but not painted. You may feel that they should have painted it, while others feel Kenner would have done it in _this_ understated way, but it certainly would not have been painted red, because, by the time we see it in Return of the Jedi, it wasn't bloody.

    I was just thinking about the action figures Kenner had originally created these past 30-50 yrs. Like Star Wars, Droids, Ewoks, The Real Ghostbusters, Super Powers, Starting Lineup, Beetlejuice, SilverHawks, M.A.S.K. I know there's more! ThunderCats released figures by LJN, G.I. Joe and C.O.P.S. were by Hasbro, Masters of the Universe was made by Mattel, Ghostbusters (With the Ape) had the Filmation/Schaper combo creation. Can anybody think of more?

    Very cool signed photo of Julian Glover/Donovan! He was at a Dragon Con, and he was one the most genuine and nicest people that I have met. My wife and kids were with me, and he wanted to meet them and get their names too. We had a great 5-7 minute chat. Lovely guy! Oh, got a General Veers photo signed by him. Amazing gift from Bob Brechin too! Hope you make a full recovery from Covid!

    I dont follow too many Classified channels, so just heard about Vipers BS from Artist Shark. But I used to sub to Viper early on, but ended up unsubbing after he blatently stole that Hasbro interview. Id been getting tired of him before that, as he tended to spout a lot of false rumors, and just wasnt very charismatic.

    I’ve always (mostly) liked Viper Island. I saw a different Joe KZreadr “throwing stones” and was always annoyed. But now I’ve seen several pages have complaints against VI. I guess where there is enough smoke there’s a fire.

  • @AnalogToys

    You do stand-up comedy, right? I noticed you have a video on your page titled _"Joke Thief,"_ where the interviewees complain about comedians stealing other people's jokes. However, that video is actually someone else's work that you've uploaded. Do you see the problem with that? Setting that aside for a moment, you're clearly outraged when theft affects your profession, yet when a photographer has their photos stolen and we discuss it, you dismiss it as _sick toy drama._ This makes you a hypocrite on multiple levels. Why is theft only an issue when it impacts you directly?
