This is Hasbro's second Madame Masque figure, with the last one being hampered less by the fact it was a 2009 sculpt, and more by the fact it was a "swap" figure. Man that was a dumb idea! This one is wearing a different costume, which pegs her as being from a very specific era... http://www.oafe.net/yo/swtojbsjmd.php Dooku dressed pretty much the same as a Jedi as he did as a Separatist, it's just that the colors are lighter here: he still has tall, fashy boots, slightly baggy pants, and even an ostentatious cape held on by a chain clasp, but they're tan instead of brown, and he's got the usual Jedi tunic... http://www.oafe.net/yo/legobotanweeds.php Rather than being sold in a classy black box, this set is one of the small impulse-buy ones: per Rustin, those used to be called "polybags," because that's what they were sold in, but these days Lego is getting more environmentally friendly by putting them in stiff paper bags instead.

But at least there's... http://www.oafe.net/yo/teeny_bnb.php A B&B is usually in a converted home, right? Not in a storefront? So, like, this box should be designed to look like a stately dining room or semi-industrialized kitchen or something, and that is definitely not what we got. Obviously it won't matter moments after opening it, but as the saying... http://www.oafe.net/yo/gijclas189bl.php JOE FRIDAY! A top athlete who opted to enlist in the Reserves rather than pro sports, Big Lob's precise distance grenade throws and exceptional skill with the "alley-oop" multi-shot grenade launcher and "fadeaway" quickly caught the attention of the GI Joe team, who recruited him under their Rawhides... http://www.oafe.net/yo/smhml13_owl.php Owl was created so early, Daredevil was still wearing his yellow costume when he debuted. He was the first supervillan created specifically for DD. He was originally the worst kind of villain, a Wall Street guy. When an IRS audit revealed how much illegal business he was involved in, however, he dediced... http://www.oafe.net/blog/?p=44281 This week: return to the days when prices were unstable and the state of the world was depressing.
