Articulated Discussion All posts by drnightmare

Articulated Discussion is Moving!

After much cursing and sessions in the fetal position, we finally got the ball rolling and are transferring all our posts to our own slice of Wordpress because the current blog engine is a mess. It's a painfully slow process transferring them all manually (we have no choice!) but that's what's gotta be done

We are still posting lots of new content on the new site! That link is http://ad-actionfigures.com, tell your neighbors, tell your friends, tell your congressman!

Review - Legendary Comic Book Heroes - B.A.F. Pitt

[Clark is back with a review of one of the biggest, meanest, most hardcore toys you can buy today (or at least piece together one body part at a time) -Nightmare]

Frontline Customs - Interview with PFC Rupert Valero



There is no keeping this customizer down! Throw him into freezing darkness, a blazing firefight, hostile territory where 3-foot spiders team-up with sabretoothed mice to try and eat his face every night and still he keeps on ticking. Let's take a trip with Rupert Valero to the war-torn mountains of Afghanistan and see what kind of custom action figures this harsh country can inspire.

The Greatest Story Ever Told - MOTU Edition



Here's a treat for you guys and gals, and you have Clark to thank for sending me a link to this most interesting of eBay toy auctions that isn't under the "Everything Else" category. Also within, finally a post by me that isn't totally making fun of MOTU! (har har, what lie)

If you are easily offended by painted red lines and flesh-colored plastic, turn away now!

One Shots #87

Aaaahhhhh, Thanksgiving Day, the time of year when your friends gather round a dead bird with their hated relatives and pretend to be too busy having fun to give you a call (it can't just be my friends, right?...). Join us for another edition of One Shots as I take advantage of this holiday and TAO's extended absence to post holiday-themed dirty pictures and whatever the hell else we want!

Comment Feature Removal

As you may know, ever since we've been blighted, comments have tended to disappear mysteriously. So, I've turned comments off because it sucks to post things only to have them erased for no good reason. If you know any horrific voo-doo rituals that can help us track down whoever is responsible for our malady, so we may beat them with a sack full of rusty man-eating ebola-covered cleavers, feel free to send them my way at:

drnightmare@articulateddiscussion.com

For every eldritch spell you recommend, I will plant a tree in your name. A gum-drop tree! Thank you.

Interview with Churi-Churo: Sculptor of Totally Hot Toys

I have to say, posting stuff on our beloved little site here in its current state of delapidation is a lot like piloting a battered starship, there are cables and wires sparking everywhere, lots of blinking lights and buttons that don't seem to do anything, and every so often something explodes or is sucked out the airlock never to be seen again. In spite of all this, I still have a duty to post stuff I promised I would before everything went haywire, such as this interview with fellow customizer Rafael Velazquez, AKA: Churi-Churo.

Weird Accessories - The Chicken Stick

Rifle through your bucket of toy accesories and I'm sure you'll find some long lost freaky items. Tonight's oddity was gotten in a trade instead of purchased, but that doesn't make it any less finger-lickin' weird.

[Nightmare's Note: Hi gang! I have no idea what's happened to TAO (I think he's off getting an education and bettering himself, PFFFT! BWAHAHAHA!), so Mitra willing, I'll try to post some stuff on here while the new site is being built.]

Review - DC Direct Justice League Series 1 - Cheetah

You know someone is completely insane when they think a great idea for a super-villain costume is to kill a cheetah, gut it, and wear it's skin, not only like a jacket, but sewn directly into their own flesh.

Why must the crazy ones be so beautiful?

Review - Marvel Legends Face Off Series 2 - Sabretooth

[Wes's Note: Since everybody else is too lazy to post stuff, here's DrNightmare with another fantastic review of an old figure that you really don't care about! Well, you might care about it if you didn't buy the rockin' Marvel Select Sabretooth. Or if you're a furry. No, don't raise your hands -- we have a strict DADT policy on that here, thanks.]

Review - Palisades - Painkiller Jane

Sometimes no matter how awful a toy is, you can't help but like it. Buddy Jesus, porn-star figs, every Revoltech figure ever made, all terrible, terrible playthings, but you still don't mind plunking down cash for them, you know what you want in life. Few others can say that, so you should be proud of yourself, champ.

Sunday Comics - "September 26th"

Sunday is the new fun-day here at AD.com! Three all new all-bonus-comics await you inside, pulled magically from my brain like fluffy bunnies out of a hat, but with more viscera and awkward twitching.

Review - Mezco Toyz SDCC 2010 Exclusive - Hit Girl

[Fake NightTAO's Note: Har har harrr, look at this super-awesome review Nightmare typed-up for us, as he somehow found time for it in his busy, busy schedule. You folks should totally send him money for toys so he can keep shooting more pictures of crotches and stuff. Man, I love tacos.]

Review - Marvel Legends Series 5 - Mr. Fantastic

[TAO's Note: Would it be wrong to call this review a fantastic break from the lack of posts this week? The thing is that I've been a bit invisible lately, but DrNightmare thankfully took the time to write this great review of an older toy, for your personal enjoyment. Also: torch.]
