Guys, I'm depressed....
About me


What is a Scarecroodle?
~It's a catchier and more memorable name than Scarecrow, which is generally taken anyway. Scarecrow, being a fear-related villain with a catchy costume, is probably one of my all-time favorite villains (just not the movie version).

Beyond that, I'm just an average white guy in the age 24~36 bracket.



What does a Scarecroodle like?
~I love fighting games, platformers, horror, and anime. I also collect a lot of Marvel/DC stuff, but most of that interest stems from the old cartoons/movies and the comic interest only came because I thought some of the figures looked insane. Figure-wise, I think the 6\" scale is probably the ideal size for figures. At that size they can make nice display pieces, sick detail, and joints that don't break (like in the crappy smaller scales).

I'm also a massive fan of the really small scales because it usually allows for a lot of incredible-looking scenery (check out stuff like Warhammer, etc). I would love to really get into sculpting, but I'm kinda clumsy which doesn't work well when things need to be exact.

I'd really like to get into statues (because the detailing and paint is usually good), but the pricing is more than a little daunting and you don't get as much variety out of them whereas figures can be posed into elaborate set-ups or whatever.

Why?





*sigh*

Sure, I could go ahead and buy the 6" Classic Lion-oh but that still wouldn't fix this eye-sore:



The 6" line is just such a stupid drop in quality. And despite Bandai's claims that they may continue the 8" line in some form we haven't heard much about it. I'm beginning to doubt that the Classic line will even continue.

Then there's this....



That's right, unpainted joints cast in the most highly visible color possible. Not to mention the exposed shoulder joints. I mean, who even does that?!

Now while I'm not sure whether Tomopop's coverage of Toy Fair has ended yet, I've heard on a few sites now that Bandai had nothing new to display at Toy Fair. Keep in mind that the next major con is SDCC in July so we're looking at a huge blank space right now.
