Wave Two hits Target

[wise guy]

I just wan't this to be real so I can go hunting for Gorns and Frankenstein. Sorry if I sound
negative.

Here's the catch-22 for Mego. If that's a new Chaney sculpt, what if the rest is "Karloff" Frank? What's the outcry? "The jackets not long enough! His hair line is not receding! He smells like tea, not booze!"

Ha! the lead dude on this "It's a picture of Karloff" conspiracy has had some sort of bone to pick with me over a moderation decision from 2007, he's super healthy.

I would be more suspicious if it was a Chaney on the box but what do I know?

[hedrap]

^Oh yeah. Guranteed.

I'm not torn up, most of the clowns decrying it and me are people that got booted from here for being "garbagey" or ripping people off, so their pathetic agenda is obvious to most. They whine and moan if we get anything cool and always will.

Great men talk about ideas, small men talk about other men.

When they do surface on ebay, none of them have the stones to admit we were right.

[hedrap]

Don't sweat it, Pali.

Some people are going to be weird no matter what. Other people are going to bristle because the expectation is gone. What's left is reality. I understand the photoshop feel; we're looking at EMCE figs on new cards. It's hard not to think that at first blush. If that was a Ghost of Frank headshot, different reaction.

Hey I keep trying to send smoke signals that if a certain two-pack doesn't happen, the letdown is going to be ugly.

[LonnieFisher]

I really want them. They are the promo packages like the ones from Comic-con for wave one. I'm sure the figures we see in the second wave will have different cards.

My last word on this.

I was sent these photos by a man who was looking for the KISS figures, he sent me many photographs of the two characters. Real man, real profile and he seemed to be just a nice person. I'm certain he bought the figures.

Candidly, I have a very nice relationship with Mego Corp. so i feel weird about releasing the other photos but felt the end cap shot was fun and would spark renewed interest so I posted it as a larf.

Before I did this, i sent the photos to someone at Mego Corp. who responded with "How did those get out?" but they're not going to publicly acknowlege this and I don't blame them.

Since then I've been publicly accused of faking the photos, some moron shouted FAKE NEWS at me today and well, it boggles my mind that there are dolly conspiracy theories out there, you don't think I can spot a photoshop?

The majority of people slinging mud were banned from here, do the math.

Anyway, I'm done with this, I regret sharing and view it as a weak moment.

I shared in the spirit of having fun with this but I forgot that there are a small crew that only serve as "fun vampires" completely sucking the joy out of this hobby.

Not speaking to anyone here in particular, just the larger jungle that is the dreaded "Social Media".

[LonnieFisher]

I wonder if the stickers say "Endorsed" on them.

[PNGwynne]

Perhaps he bought some after taking the pic?

[palitoy]

The store just got wave one. These were included.

[wise guy]

Why is this person taking pictures and not buying these figures ? It's sad to see another
end cap full of wave 1 peg warmers not selling, even with lower prices.

[Gorn Captain]

Norm's glass is still full, so definitely photoshopped.

[hedrap]

I find it bizarre how much trust people put into the Target DCPI system. As if it's HAL.

"What are you doing, Paul? That's supposed to be a Chaney Jr Frankenstein..."

[Hedji]

The fact that Peg and Alice are still available on the pegs is a clear indication this is photoshopped.

[Brown Bear]

This pic looks photoshopped to me. That Gorn and Franky look Exactly like DST’s version and the pic has Karloff, not Chaney. I think it’s a fake
