Ultimate annoyance. I never wished I was him as a kid. He just annoyed me. He was just..... there. Mind you, when I was reading for the first time his stories were all reprints, and I wasn't reading what he was up to in Hulk, but I didn't care about Hulk (I was pretty laser-focused on X-books and Fantastic Four, with a bit of Avengers thrown in). While it sounded terrible as an event, I thought the best thing he did was die in Secret Empire. I honestly thought they wouldn't bother to res him. 

The label only makes it worse. 

Animation artist Derrick J Wyatt passed away in December at the age of 49. He had a very distinctive style, and was most notable for his work on Teen Titans Go, Transformers Animated, Legion Of Superheroes, and Ben 10:Omniverse, among others. He notably did primary design work for Transformers Animated, Legion Of Super-Heroes, TEEN Titans Go, again among others. He was apparently a super nice, chill guy, just happy to be around. Such a loss for the animation industry. He did still have strong ties to Transformers community too, not sure about other franchises he'd worked on. 

Such a shame.

Could  be a show about nothing 

Goes on for 9 years, has a terrible last show

Years later, someone says it was canceled and CGC gets right indignant about it, hinting, maybe there was something to a canceled theory

CGC has been very transparent about what they're doing here, and they encourage others to look straight through the books to the graders behind the slab. For maybe the first time ever, they're offering a look at what goes into the slab, and that's priceless. I encourage others to also come clear. 

Nice piece, @Xenosmilus.

I'm game

Don't have any myself, find all of it fascinating 

Well, start. They're a lot easier than they look, especially for Gundam kits, my area of experience. You don't need glue, you don't need paint. Nice and easy, and fun. And it's immensely satisfying having this ultra-atriculated model figure at the end of it and being able to say 'yeah, I made that'. 

FWIW I loved Man Of Steel, except for Kevin Costner's laughable death scene. Besides that it's a pretty darn good film. I'd give it an 8-8.5/10. All the complaints seemed to be from people who didn't really KNOE the character, nor understand that this is a new incarnation of him. His behaviour is allowed to vary, especially this early on. 

Are there any restrictions here, or can I discuss my Gundam model kits here too? Yay/nay? 

He's like a poorly maintained chia pet. 

I legitimately can't think of a single good and justifiable reason that these should have been accepted for grading as they are. Conversely, if done by Marvel, with an etching of the Invisible Woman logo on the cover, and a 4 page story inside, no matter how difficult to read, would at least be something different, and may have market appeal. As this is though? No. It's just nothing.

Just give them @ADAMANTIUM's credit card info! 

You want @onlyweaknesskryptonite. Go through his CC statements. Let's just say he spends a LOT on fishnet stockings, and fishnet stocking related videos. Surprisingly large amount for this day and age, really, but well, he is rather set in his ways. 

Others have already answered the question pretty well, I just wanted to add in that I'm sorry about your poor health. I hope there's some room for improvement in that arena for you. 

So the acetate is bare? They could have at least etched something onto there. What a stupid idea. 

One thing I will give Liefeld credit for: he was the first person to have a super-team together  who became uber-celebrity, a level of celebrity unmatched by even the Fantastic Four. 

G'night everyone! No hijinx while I'm gone. Drinks have been refilled, but I SWEAR I had a my own pee bottle with me when i arrived. Oh well. Have fun guys! 

You'll never know the truth!

1.  I don't think you will find many Gundam fans on this site (fortunately you found one of the biggest fan in the world here)

2.  The RG Sinanju looks great but it has flaws with loose parts and difficult to pose.  Pick up the Weiss (mine is pictured below)

3.  I was working on a MG Hazel build for the World Builder Competition a few years ago before they canceled all the in person events due to Covid

4.  Skip IBO the anime and go straight to the MG Barbatos build (or watch Battlogue)

5.  For the manga...get into the Titans storyline.

 

***I have LOTS of kits

Ooh, that's all super useful info, cheers for that. 

2. Skip the regular RG Sinanju, got it. Off to cancel that one now. 

3. Nice. 

4. Good excuse to get the MG. I needed that 

5. Haven't heard of this one, will definitely look it up. 

Thanks for all the useful info. I'm only just getting back into it, so this is all great.

Hey guys my brother found a bunch of old comics (1990s) in a chest up in the attic. None are in bags all just kinda thrown in there but they are all mint. What are they worth?

You need to get these to a valuer, STRAIGHT AWAY! Then take a few pics of yourself with each book on the toilet. You'll want to randomly show people these. 

Seriously though, I'd urge you to actually spend a minute and look at a 5.0 and a 9.8 grades {online obviously, in this situation} and try and get good close-ups, so you can see for yourself what the differences really are, and what your books really grade out at. Or learn using our Please Grade Me forum. 

Good luck!
