How vintage? Because if you have a G1 Mimic in good condition then yeah, price check now. (With Hasbro doing the anniversary reissues I’d guess demand would drop a bit if/when they get to her.)
Nah, I never found her for a decent price. Tbh at this point I don’t even remember what I’ve got, except that I took a special shine to the cookery ponies and have at least two of each of them
I’ve been collecting vintage MLP since the mid 80s.
I currently have around 300 G1s, in good or better condition.
I was very anal as a child, and still have all their accessories as well.
They’re worth enough that I have collector’s insurance on them.
I assume my children will sell them after I die, because there’s no way in fuck I’m going to.
**puts on hipster glasses**
I was an obsessive MLP fan before it was cool.
The dinosaur stays the same age, just like the Coelophysis from The Picture of Norian Gray.
Man, I hope someone else is dorky enough to appreciate this joke.
… I kind of need those ace pride dice and I don’t even play tabletop games like ever, thank you for introducing me to this Kickstarter. (Also all the dice are beautiful. Which is how we all end up with so, so many, isn’t it.)
Pair of questions for a dice expert. Do dice sets ever come with a chip in the same design for coin flip moments? Are coins just two sided dice or to qualify does an object need to be a fully symmetrical polyhedron of some sort?
Oooh, nice one! It’s never been a standard thing but lately a few kickstarters have included a d2 as a stretch goal; two of them have taken the form of coins, but the Polyhero wizard themed set made it spellbook-shaped. I think either one works fine as long as the two sides are the same probability; after all, d10s aren’t regular polygons either, and they count
lol 🙂 I read your comment to my husband, and mentioned it would probably spawn an entire thread of dice puns. his response: “well, that’s how they roll!”
Apparently Ethan uses that action figure to attract guys he’s interested in, like an anglerfish and a lure. Very clever Ethan, I need you to teach me your ways.
and the loser will have a cloud of dork shame over their head for the rest of their life, which is only slightly worse than the winner being around non-dorks
The collectible trading card game dorks gathered mile high stacks of spells and warriors. The video game dorks built an empire from their lust for cartridges and discs. The tabletop dorks shaped tin and cardboard into vast, imaginary empires.
I’m not sure, but I think he’s saying that geekiness isn’t able to be separated into degrees of coolness via interest, in this case ukulele vs dinobot.
No brand of geek is marginalized though. Nobody outside of high school has time to give a damn about your nerd hobbies one way or the other unless they share them.
Still, given that they’re only a couple months out of high school, it’s not surprising some of the attitude carries over.
And while the attitude towards nerd hobbies has certainly changed, it’s not because of lack of time, it’s because a lot of them have gone mainstream. If it was “nobody has time to give a damn”, it would always have been true, but it wasn’t that long ago – certainly when I was in my twenties, that most of the nerd hobbies were looked down on as kid stuff at best.
Thank you both. I was thinking that Joe marginalizes Danny – at least re the ukelele – and that Joe is pretty much the definition of mainstream. Now trying to respect women, of course, which puts him ahead of the ruling U.S. party, which I reluctantly acknowledge must by considered mainstream (except trump lost the poular vote . . . It’s all so messed up).
Ethan is saying that Danny thinks that the way he is treated for being a geek counts as being marginalised, whereas in fact nothing much happens to Danny compared with the way that he, Ethan, is treated for being gay.
Yeah, no, especially since Danny’s bi and Ethan knows it. Comes with its own shitty challenges, which maybe Ethan doesn’t know about yet but then he’d probably put Danny on the same ‘tier’. (There is the religious axis to take into consideration as well, but see previous: No one wins the Marginalization Olympics.)
I think Ethan is saying that liking transformers is more dorky and has more of a stigma than playing the ukelele (which is somewhat questionable in a world with like 8 transformers movies) and isn’t using it in a social justice sense. Toy collecting is still slightly below gunpla and Warhammer on the nerd hobby coolness scale, I think.
I feel like the more toy collector-y types (at least the more dedicated like Ethan is anyway) do have more judgment aimed at them than other focuses do, but it’s still not nearly what it used to be.
Oh, crap. This is the perfect set-up: Ethan and Danny are engaged in a little geekboy flirting, then Mike steps in and says “Hey Ethan, you up for another make out session?”
not any more. (there was a bit of a side-rant in the Captain Awkward comments about this recently. there’s a lot of geeky stuff that’s now mainstream and lots of geeks with a fair bit of power)
Ahh, geeks debating their respective geek cred. But… in reverse? I think? Is it good or bad to be a geek these days? Who is winning and who is losing? Do they fight over pride or shame?
It’s good to be a geek but if you’re trying to be a geek it isn’t cool and if you’re a generic geek like a video game or movie geek that’s not cool anymore unless you’re into the obscure elements of that geekdom but if you’re too condescending about your geek expertise it’s not cool or if another geek shows you up then you need to find a new sub genre of geekiness
Just gotta say, that last line is hilarious to me when you remember it’s a gay Jewish guy saying that to a bisexual guy. (Don’t play the Marginalization Olympics. There are no winners there.)
Due entirely to the Shortpacked reviews triggering a wave of nostalgia and happening upon the toy shelf at Walmart, I now have four out of five PotP Dinobots. The missing one is Sludge, who was the only one I owned back in the 80s.
They’re awesome except for Swoop, whose legs do not want to stick together in Volcanicus limb modes.
So, on good news front – I told my mom last night I was questioning whether or not I was ace and she took it pretty well. Asked a few questions about my history and my boyfriend and then just told me she just wanted me to be happy and have love in my life (not necessarily romantic love – she’s said before she doesn’t care what kind).
Okay, so there is a competition on to see who can be the most overtly non-normative in terms of social behaviour? Or, rather, is it just something going on between Ethan and Danny? Either way, I must say that I am most concerned that such a thing is happening!
Dinobot the transformer that died twice, and had one of the worst second lives anyone could get, slave to the bot he hated and brainwashed to hunt his friends
The Kids: “We can watch those shows whenever we feel like it. We even like some of them!”
People my age: “But … but they’re not on TV any more! What sorcery is this?“
Though if were due to the Amazi-Girl personality being transgender, that would be awkward (I have known at least one person with Dissociative Identity Disorder whose primary identity was FTM, but some of his other identities were female. It got messy.)
I worded this badly, but it is hard to express it, especially since I didn’t know him very well. He was transitioning to a male legal identity, as the majority of his personalities were masculine, but at least one personality was feminine and resisting transition. Since he was already on T when I met him, and was scheduled for a mastectomy, this was not a harmonious thing.
I wish the Beast Wars toys never went out of production – I’d like to have my old Dinobot and Manterror back, without having to pay for what is now a collectors item.
Beast Wars was awesome, but the producers decided to make the canonically contradictory Beast Machines, which looked awful with their biomechanical components and no real transformations. May Dinobot’s soul rest in peace. Yes, they have souls. I don’t know how that works.
Beast Machines would have been better if they’d been allowed to actually be aproper sequel or just been it’s own thing. Doing what they did, trying to make it a sequel while disregarding past continuity, just made things a mess.
Welp, Kennedy is retiring from SCOTUS in July 31st. Hope you USAmericans enjoyed your civil rights while you had them. If not, better cram that enjoyment in in this last month.
This one hurt. I’d thought that despite being basically a conservative, Kennedy might not be willing to hand it over to Trump to appoint his successor. No such luck. Even the timing looks political – like he wants to make sure it’s confirmed before there’s even a chance of Democrats taking the Senate.
I think he’s saying “adorable” in that condescending manner Southern people say “bless your heart” with. Only not so strongly as I think context makes it obvious he’s just teasing.
I also think Mike likes Ethan, and has for a long time; and we’re going to find out that Ethan going out with Amber even though he was obviously(to Mike, that is) gay played some part in Mike choosing to go full douche with most people.
Loading ...
one of my better investments was getting Transmetal 2 Megatron and half-forgetting it MIB in my room at my parents’ house where
it was guaranteed to be safe effectively forever and finally deciding I needed to stop hoarding so much STUFF (which Mom does
anyway so they don’t need MY help) and putting it on eBay for 600% profit
which is to say I feel like I took Ethan’s allowance at some point
I collected vintage MLPs for a hot minute. A lot of them aren’t worth much, but there’s a few that I should probably price check sometime.
How vintage? Because if you have a G1 Mimic in good condition then yeah, price check now. (With Hasbro doing the anniversary reissues I’d guess demand would drop a bit if/when they get to her.)
Nah, I never found her for a decent price. Tbh at this point I don’t even remember what I’ve got, except that I took a special shine to the cookery ponies and have at least two of each of them
I managed to get the only one I cared about (Firefly) for like $10 with shipping, so idk
I had others but no idea which they were, since back then they were all pretty interchangeable, just pick which colours you liked best

what
frickin word wrap
It’s just free verse poetry
Thief
Just pretend it’s a poem.
I thought you were trying some new wave poetry thing. Or you were trying to channel William Shatner.
The transformer that never changed.
Isn’t it the reverse? The dinobot keeps getting older but Ethan stays the same? 😛
So, what, a Transformers version of Dorian Gray?
Except that he’s always looking at it instead of never?
If Dinobot suddenly becomes his Masterpiece version the next time we see it then yes.
The dinosaur stays the same age, just like the Coelophysis from The Picture of Norian Gray.
Man, I hope someone else is dorky enough to appreciate this joke.
I don’t get the joke, but I would have if it had been “Saurian Gray”.
Well, he gets old very slowly.
Me when anyone whatsoever lets me start talking about dice
Oooh, what kind of dice? (We have so many d20s at home. And probably well over 200 d6es and that’s a conservative estimate.)
Anything polyhedral 😀 My collection is becoming a bit ridiculous, honestly, I’ve got my dice blog linked in my username
… I kind of need those ace pride dice and I don’t even play tabletop games like ever, thank you for introducing me to this Kickstarter. (Also all the dice are beautiful. Which is how we all end up with so, so many, isn’t it.)
I need all the Pride dice. I have no use for them. I just need them.
Saaaaaame, I’m getting one of each
It’s called Dungeons and Dragons because eventually you get enough dice to make a good hoard.
I’m fairly convinced that if your dice collection becomes large enough, you become an honorary dragon.
I know at least one person who qualifies.
And there is always some special dice to be used for particularly important dice rolls.
No prob! 😀 I’m so excited for that kickstarter, it’s such a great theme
what kickstarter? (I don’t play d&d, I’m not ace, and I still find myself drawn to this idea…)
There’s more than just ace! A bunch of the more popular pride flags are being dice-ified 😀
Dice collecting is how many of us satisfy the dragon’s need.
(the shinies… must have all the shinies…)
(Opens the blog, squeals with utter delight in a manner most unbecoming of a man my age)
I think it’s really cool how you can just look at a picture of a die and tell who made it and what it’s called.
Pair of questions for a dice expert. Do dice sets ever come with a chip in the same design for coin flip moments? Are coins just two sided dice or to qualify does an object need to be a fully symmetrical polyhedron of some sort?
Oooh, nice one! It’s never been a standard thing but lately a few kickstarters have included a d2 as a stretch goal; two of them have taken the form of coins, but the Polyhero wizard themed set made it spellbook-shaped. I think either one works fine as long as the two sides are the same probability; after all, d10s aren’t regular polygons either, and they count
D2 are rare but do exist, I have seen one or two in the wild. Usually people use a d4 odds or evens if they don’t have a coin to flip.
I’ve always wanted a 24-sided die, maybe a deltoidal hexahedron or one of the 24-sided Catalan icositetrahedra.
I have a D7 and a D5. A D2 seems boring.
You might make a business of buying boring D2s, sprucing them up, and selling them at a profit. The best thing to do with a D2 is to flip it.
lol 🙂 I read your comment to my husband, and mentioned it would probably spawn an entire thread of dice puns. his response: “well, that’s how they roll!”
Readers of Faans know to avoid touching the 23 sider. For the rest of you that’s an archive dive well worth the time.
*plays The Fats Boys’ version of “Sex Machine” on the hacked Muzak*
Apparently Ethan uses that action figure to attract guys he’s interested in, like an anglerfish and a lure. Very clever Ethan, I need you to teach me your ways.
let the dork wars begin
Ethan will take Danny to his dorm to binge Beast Wars and it will end with the composing filks on Danny’s ukulele.
…..
….. There are no victors in dork wars, only survivors.
and the loser will have a cloud of dork shame over their head for the rest of their life, which is only slightly worse than the winner being around non-dorks
man dork war is hell
Nothing except a dork war lost can be half so pathetic as a dork war won.
…. aw crap we’re having a dork war about dork wars aren’t we?
… look over there!
*jumps out window*
…. well, I didn’t mean to stumble into a dork war about dork wars, but at least I won.
Dorks. Dorks never change.
The collectible trading card game dorks gathered mile high stacks of spells and warriors. The video game dorks built an empire from their lust for cartridges and discs. The tabletop dorks shaped tin and cardboard into vast, imaginary empires.
But dorks. Dorks never change.
(and Fallout, of course, started as a GURPS tie-in.)
dorks are the same everywhere. ;-;
Dinobot will never leave you.
Because he can’t move not because of any caring about you or anything. Just to make that clear.
I-it’s not like he likes you or anything! Baka…
Dinobot loves only honor, Shakespeare, and melancholy brooding.
(Tsunderenobot would be hilarious, though.)
Tsunderenobot pretty much sums up his relationship with both Optimus and Rattrap.
It feels like forever since these two talked last (in our time, not comic time ofc). I missed them~
I’m unclear on Ethan’s justification for the use of the word “delusions”.
I’m not sure, but I think he’s saying that geekiness isn’t able to be separated into degrees of coolness via interest, in this case ukulele vs dinobot.
He’s saying that Danny’s brand of geek is not actually marginalized, but Danny imagines it is.
No brand of geek is marginalized though. Nobody outside of high school has time to give a damn about your nerd hobbies one way or the other unless they share them.

I don’t think it has anything to do with Ethan being gay.

Toy collecting is still slightly below gunpla and Warhammer on the nerd hobby coolness scale, I think.
This is a world imagined by Willis, though.
I bet it has twice as much transformers movies.
Dinobot is much cooler than a ukulele.
Unless you’re Steven Universe playing the ukulele.
Then it’s questionable.
speaking of which: new episodes july 2nd! omg!! 🙂
So soon? Yes!
In similar news; we are getting Star Trek (cartoon version) vs. Transformers comic soon, so all kinds of good geek stuff to look forward too
I’ll be traveling that day…well, at least I’ll have something to look forward to. 🙂
I’m so mad, I saw a promo thinking it’d only be more vague hints as to what was coming but no, it spoiled some serious shit.
Never trust the video promos. Wiki or google for those future airdates.
I pretty much stopped watching commercials altogether when it comes to movies and tv.
They spoil too much.
Commercials are mental pollution!
Yeah, Cartoon Network actually issued an apology for the spoilers.
It’s cute Ethan thinks fandom geekery isn’t mainstream geekery.
I feel like the more toy collector-y types (at least the more dedicated like Ethan is anyway) do have more judgment aimed at them than other focuses do, but it’s still not nearly what it used to be.
Considering he’s geeking out over a show that is possibly older than he is, he’s not quite mainstream.
Transformers are pretty mainstream these days, even if the show he’s talking about is older.
The movie versions are, the franchise in general? Debatable.
Most people know about Transformers, even if they’re not into it. Besides, the movies are part of the franchise.
Agree to disagree?
Yeah, that’s fine.
“Transformers isn’t niche anymore.“
Oh, I swear to god if Mike shows up…
(I can’t actually do anything, but by Jove I will be unhappy)
I’m pretty sure Mike is using gps specifically so he can arrive the next time these two meet face to face.
Oh, crap. This is the perfect set-up: Ethan and Danny are engaged in a little geekboy flirting, then Mike steps in and says “Hey Ethan, you up for another make out session?”
DYW.
Danny would probably be happy at first. Only later would he realise he was jealous and it was really bothering him.
Appropriate avatar. But darn am I dreading Mike.
This doa strip made me smile like a dork. It’s a pretty relieving strip compared to the past few days.
Isn’t geekery the opposite of mainstream?
not any more. (there was a bit of a side-rant in the Captain Awkward comments about this recently. there’s a lot of geeky stuff that’s now mainstream and lots of geeks with a fair bit of power)
Yeah, to a great extent the geekry ghetto has conquered the world. Unfortunately human nature is still pretty much the same.
Check the box office lately? A form of geekery, at least, is very mainstream these days.
Nah, geekery spans the popularity spectrum.
Not comic book and video game geekery.
Whether toy geekery is mainstream or not depends on how you classify those big-headed, beady-eyed vinyl figurines.
But toy geekery about characters tied to blockbuster movie franchises?
Ahh, geeks debating their respective geek cred. But… in reverse? I think? Is it good or bad to be a geek these days? Who is winning and who is losing? Do they fight over pride or shame?
Culture is weird.
It’s good to be a geek but if you’re trying to be a geek it isn’t cool and if you’re a generic geek like a video game or movie geek that’s not cool anymore unless you’re into the obscure elements of that geekdom but if you’re too condescending about your geek expertise it’s not cool or if another geek shows you up then you need to find a new sub genre of geekiness

They’re awesome except for Swoop, whose legs do not want to stick together in Volcanicus limb modes.
Darn it, four out of six. Sorry Slash.
Um, Ethan? Transformers have had, like, 5 or 6 movies now. How many movies have ukeleles had? How many TV shows? How many comic books? Hmmmmmmmmm?
Ooooh, burn!
I don’t know; ukuleles are such a huge musical thing on the margins that I think that you can argue that they are mainstream just by their fan-base!
Call me back when “Ukelele: The Movie, Part 10” hits theatres.
/me pouts in the corner until we see Billie catch up with Walky.
/me pouts in the corner until we see what happens with Amber and Sal.
/me pouts in the corner until we see more Jacob/Joyce flirtery.
@both of you:
/me burns all the corners until I’m appeased by more Dina
Impressive. You seem to have summoned her.
Use this power for good.
Those two dorks
That last line’s a good title.
Also yay, Ethan and Danny together again. May Cupid’s arrow hit its mark.
I missed Danny, nice to see him again.
Technically, Ethan keeps getting younger. Well, dumbiverse Ethan keeps getting younger
Tell his tale, Tell it truly, the ill deeds along with the good, and let him be judged accordingly. The rest… is silence
Of course, all Danny really heard was Ethan calling him “adorable.”
So, on good news front – I told my mom last night I was questioning whether or not I was ace and she took it pretty well. Asked a few questions about my history and my boyfriend and then just told me she just wanted me to be happy and have love in my life (not necessarily romantic love – she’s said before she doesn’t care what kind).
Yaaay! 🙂
High five!
*Kermit muppet flail*
Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!
I’m hearing about good parenting in the DoA webpage? Have we reached the Upside-Down, then?
In case it wasn’t clear, yaaaaaaay you
*Happy flail*
is this the MP-41 Dinobot or the deluxe from the 1990s?
he says 2009
That makes him Dinob-aught.
thanks, was just making sure if it were the same old toy or if he updated his Dinobot with the MP41
Okay, so there is a competition on to see who can be the most overtly non-normative in terms of social behaviour? Or, rather, is it just something going on between Ethan and Danny? Either way, I must say that I am most concerned that such a thing is happening!
Wow, I can’t believe how quickly Danny became a total trash dude
?
(It is a joke, about how Danny does not know Dinobot.)
Will NOBODY think about the college ukelele players???? 🙁
Actually, given the way time works in this comic Dinobot does get older and it’s Ethan who stays about the same age.
Hmm, messed up the italics a bit.
A year here, a year there, what’s that to a millions of years old robot?
Dinobot the transformer that died twice, and had one of the worst second lives anyone could get, slave to the bot he hated and brainwashed to hunt his friends
Dinobot will always be a Maximal to me, ALWAYS!
I’m a child of G1. To me, Dinobot will always mean Grimlock and his crew.
*ships Ethan & Danny*…
awww, such cute dorks.
To paraphrase Gordon Ramsey
Ah finally some sweet, non-problematic ship.
Ignoring Danny’s tax evasion I see.
The only evading he is involved in is evading his acknowledgement of his attraction to Ethan!
He acknowledged it! In a very awkward way, as befits him :p They just decided to leave it at friendship
For now at least.
You think THAT’S bad, Danny, imagine being called a geek by someone who still plays with Dinobots.
It…it just hit me how young these kids must be. No Beast Wars on Fox Kids after school for them.
I need to lie down for a bit. And watch poorly animated CG cartoons.
The True Tragedy is kids not being able to watch Batman The Animated Series and Batman Beyond!
Old Fuds everywhere shed tears for the youth of today, deprived as they are from lack of classic cartoon shows. #FreeCrusaderRabbit
The Kids: “We can watch those shows whenever we feel like it. We even like some of them!”
People my age: “But … but they’re not on TV any more! What sorcery is this?“
Beast Wars was the schnizz. “Now where was I? Ahh yes, mindless destruction.”
My favorite Megatron. YESSSSSSSSS
I feel bad for young kids because American cartoons haven’t had consistently cool theme songs in decades.
I was just talking about this the other day!!!
At least neither of them are the Goddamn Amazi-Girl.
(Though cross-dressing would have made a pretty effective secret identity gag.)
Though if were due to the Amazi-Girl personality being transgender, that would be awkward (I have known at least one person with Dissociative Identity Disorder whose primary identity was FTM, but some of his other identities were female. It got messy.)
I worded this badly, but it is hard to express it, especially since I didn’t know him very well. He was transitioning to a male legal identity, as the majority of his personalities were masculine, but at least one personality was feminine and resisting transition. Since he was already on T when I met him, and was scheduled for a mastectomy, this was not a harmonious thing.
Surely it would be unethical to perform non-reversible surgery in the case of a conflicted patient?
I wish the Beast Wars toys never went out of production – I’d like to have my old Dinobot and Manterror back, without having to pay for what is now a collectors item.
Yeah, it’d be nice to buy some now that I actually have money. Back when it was on I could only buy the cheap ones and not the ones I actually liked.
Maybe a good excuse to take up garage sales hunting?
Beast Wars was awesome, but the producers decided to make the canonically contradictory Beast Machines, which looked awful with their biomechanical components and no real transformations. May Dinobot’s soul rest in peace. Yes, they have souls. I don’t know how that works.
Beast Machines would have been better if they’d been allowed to actually be aproper sequel or just been it’s own thing. Doing what they did, trying to make it a sequel while disregarding past continuity, just made things a mess.
Oh, oh, oh… that was the possibly the best tooltip after-joke I’ve ever read.
So awesome, Mr. Willis.

Welp, Kennedy is retiring from SCOTUS in July 31st. Hope you USAmericans enjoyed your civil rights while you had them. If not, better cram that enjoyment in in this last month.
As if their current decisions weren’t bad enough already.
Yeah, it’s gonna get ugly. Uglier.
This one hurt. I’d thought that despite being basically a conservative, Kennedy might not be willing to hand it over to Trump to appoint his successor. No such luck. Even the timing looks political – like he wants to make sure it’s confirmed before there’s even a chance of Democrats taking the Senate.

I also think Mike likes Ethan, and has for a long time; and we’re going to find out that Ethan going out with Amber even though he was obviously(to Mike, that is) gay played some part in Mike choosing to go full douche with most people.
Even if I’m wrong, I expect things to get messy.
And Ethan was so worried about being “the gay guy” instead of “the transformers guy”
*eyes current poll results*
Joyce? Are you aware that the hunky Christian guy you’re dating bears the number of the beast?
(watch this comment get obsolete very quickly)
