So I'm guessing it wasn't anyone important. Thanks. I'm not gonna lie, I would love an IMDB-ish site that kept track of voice acting credits on toys. That being said, the Talking Piper is 100x worse than those zany Andre's that have been coming out. I mean, it's great that Piper's family got a pay day out of it, but jeesh... Like, how does the person who OK'd the final product wipe their own ass? Of course, one could always throw a kilt on him, put him on a shelf with other figures and have an alright Piper figure. And congrats on the cool wife!

Holy crap! Only on here would someone get salty about Toys R Us getting saved. Unless you got a business degree keep it closed! Getting "salty" at someone getting "salty" only serves to smother the rest of us in sodium. I'm glad you're enjoying the site, but don't be a dick and then claim someone else is a dick for calling you a dick.. lol I'm not sure if I'd rather see Toys R Us's open back up, or Kay-Bee put toy stores back in malls. Because I don't think we (in the US) can have both.

Sorry for all the confusion. I moved it back after I had learned of there being little to no reason given for the change years ago. Just that it was done to prevent clutter on the Mattel board. I thought it might serve a better purpose here rather than occupy a sticky over there. It also seemed like a more natural fit and one which might attract more eyes to/draw more inspiration from the many great customizers here. The title of the thread should return to normal soon. If anyone has any concerns over the change, please reach out to me via PM as I would very much like to get your input. Thanks. Sorry buddy but this thread will die here, just like this board has. You just made your job harder because theres going to be a lot more "look what I did" type posts in the Mattel thread now. RIP Fix up thread. The customs board died because a group got together and started harassing people who didn't put enough paint on their customs. So the thread gets moved to the Mattel board, where EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! became a "Fix-Up"... So, saying that customs board died because nobody cared is gaslighting. The customs board died because the thread was moved to the Mattel board.

To be fair, the only ones of us whining were the ones who were here before you guys killed the customs board. I know that even though people myself and Triple S were fans of the move back to the custom board, we certainly didn't send out curse filled PMs (like Apoc did to me), lose sleep, take our ball and go home, ect. I mean, I might've brought it up twice a year for the last 4 years, but I certainly didn't constantly PM MODs or other users harassing them. And as long as Tommycoholic posts in the Customs board, there'll always be a faint pulse over there.

k5 To me, the best thing about Youtube is the 73,000,000 hours of classic gaming shows. Have you known about the X'EYE for a while, or is it something you learned of recently? And was that the version (Sega CD) that you played back in high school?

Now that we know the complete on disc roster, is there anyone you're not gonna play as? Of course it could change (especially NXT stars I have yet to see), this is my personal no-interest list: Aiden English, Akam, Akira Tozawa, Albert, Alexander Wolfe, Alundra Blayze, Asuka, Big Boss Man '99, Big Show '00, Bo Dallas, Bret Hart '98, Buddy Roberts, Cactus Jack '92, Cedric Alexander, Chad Gable, Curt Hawkins, Dana Brooke, Darren Young, Dash Wilder, DDP '92, DDP '98, Dude Love, Ember Moon, Enzo Amore, Erick Rowan, Greg Valentine, Hideo Itami, Ivory, Jacqueline, JBL, Jimmy Garvin, Johnny Gargano, Kassius Ohno, Kerry Von Erich, Kevin Von Erich, Larry Zbyszko, Michael Hayes, Nick Miller, No Way Jose, Noam Dar, Rezar, Ric Flair '88, Ric Flair '91, Rich Swann, Ricky Steamboat '94, Roderick Strong, Sawyer Fulton, Scott Dawson, Shane Thorne, Sting '88, Sting '91, Sting '98, Sting '99, Stunning Steve Austin, Tamina, Tatsumi Fujinami, The Godfather, Titus O'Neil, TJ Perkins, Tommaso Ciampa, Tye Dillinger Interesting question actually, I'd be interested in seeing others' lists too. Haha! Good lord man, it mighta been easier to list who you ARE going to use. Deciphering your list there (no women, 205s, NXTs, bottom of the barrel jobbers), it seems like The Revival, Chad Gable, and Ty Dillinger don't fit the mold. I'm not disagreeing (it's your game! your universe!), but do you really hate the NXT crew that much?

I think it was '06? But I always made it a priority to boost Regal's popularity. He started in the 50s and slowly but surely, I'd have him main eventing Wrestlemania and he'd always deliver a 5 star match.
I still bust out the PSP from time to time, just to sim through GM mode.

I've gotten one of my friends back into the current product and he says the same thing: that the wrestlers today are much better in the ring than they were years ago, but the problem every week is that they either lack personality or charisma, or the writing sucks. It's like, compare The Bushwhackers with The Fashion Police. Both low on the depth chart in the tag division. Both comedy based. But we'd see The 'Whackers on a regular basis, be it a bi-monthly squash match, a skit on Primetime, or hosting a video release. Compare that with how they've handled the FP (the definition of schizophrenic booking) and it's really, REALLY hard to put that blame on the talent. Obviously, there will be examples that prove the opposite, but I think Whackers/FP is a good analogy here.

That looks great J! Is that plumber tape on his hand? Just electrical tape Have you ever used plumbers tape instead? I mean, it's more expensive, but I've had the same roll for years and it works great. Especially when it comes to fixing loose wrist joints! What uh, what happened to the thread title?

Looks like you just wanted to show off your TwoFace figure OT a bit here, but those Arkham figures look so much cooler than most of the DC figures put out at the same time.

I have to agree with what many have already said. Jakks cut corners BAD! That's why Rikishi used the Yokozuna body when a much smaller one would've sufficed. As bad as that was, the R3 Rikishi kicked so much ass. I loved that line, until, like RA, they got lazy. But yeah, spot on with 99% of what you said.

If... if that's really what he's coming with, it's the best thing I've ever seen.
Well, that Moon Man/Smudge scene from Rick and Morty last week might be better, but this is gold.
Still, I'll be holding off with the hope that he comes in his Red/White gear at some point. Once upon a time, Bret Hart vs Virgil for the WWF Title on Superstars was my favorite match!

Here's one for the BCA/Upcoming figures Savant;
Is there any information about how Jakks got the license in 95-96? Like, how much they paid, who else was up for the license, ect. And is it know how long the original contract was for? Was the license up for grabs anytime during that period?

Look at all that vitriol! lol, I think it's funny you thought I was quoting you on the D'Lo thing. It's a Tony Kornheiser thing from PTI. I guess you're ignorant of ESPN as well? Little advise? When you learn something, instead of being mad at yourself for being ignorant, just accept that you don't know everything. I'll tell you, if I lived in a world where I didn't enjoy learning new things, it'd be a really sad existence. I don't think that I've like, ever learned about a wrestler drawing money and gotten mad like that... Really man, learning is cool. Im glad you love learning.. .cuz you gon' learn today. 1. Espn? Espn? Es ing pn? The programming on that network has sucked since they decided poker was a sport. 2. Im not sure where i got mad at anyone drawing money. Maybe you took my not caring for jyd as holding some sort of anger towards him? Nope. 3. The word is ADVICE not ADVISE. You can give a person advice. You cannot give them advise. But i guess you might just be a little ignorant about the english language. You caught me! But at a score of 11-1, you have me SOUNDLY beat. But for real, Earthquake drew MAD money against Hulk in the summer of 1990. Like, he significantly drew better than other heels working with Hogan at the time.

Thank you so much for not acting like some iCarly wannabe and putting up a shaky video of you telling the story! Fun little read.
Did you ever find out the deal with the certain page number?
