Assemble Guide: No assembly required.

I am finding the background images oddly amusing. I mean, what's with the surveyor -- who merits two appearances in the background?

Then there's a random lady walking on a path, and suddenly we find ourselves in an oversized living room with... ... a GIANT LAMPSHADE!

I wonder if he's gonna use his giant switchblade knife to slice open the giant sofa cushions in the giant living room looking for... whatever spies look for in the sofa cushions they always slice open in spy movies.

Has anyone in real life ever hidden anything in a sofa cushion? If they did, it would probably be the kind with a zipper on the side. Wouldn't it be easer to simply unzip the sofa cushions rather than slice them open? Especially if the sofa cushions were gigantic? But I digress....

I don't know how you got to sofa cushions from here... but yes, unzipping them would be preferable.

He's gonna need a really big bug to plant in that giant lamp behind him, too!

Isn't that what spies always do in spy movies: plant bugs in lamps and slice open sofa cushions?

I cant see the images, but googling the title, I saw that this figure is based on the Spy Comedy action flick "From Beijing with Love"

Hmm, they display for me. Maybe give them more time to load -- I mean if you run into this problem again.

I don't see them either. I can't access the toypanic website either. I suspected my work computer's firewall, but I get this same message on my private computer, too:

Error Code: HTTP 502
Error Message: Backend or gateway connection timeout.
Server ID: 15009

Origin server might be down
Sucuri Network blocked by Origin Firewall

What can I do to fix it?
If you are just visiting the site, just wait a bit and it should be back soon. We apologize for the inconvenience.
If you own the web site, please verify with your hosting company if your server is up and running and if they have our firewall IPs whitelisted. Please wait a few minutes and try again. If the problem persists, open a ticket on our support page https://support.sucuri.net and we will assist with troubleshooting.

I've tried at various times through the last couple of days but it never works.

Hmm, I don't know what's going on with that. Do you have the same problem with the other new product announcements I've posted?

Thank you for identifying the source of the character. I tried searching online but could not figure out what it was from.

Here's one of the images. I've reposted it to a different hosting service. Perhaps you can see it now:


Here's a screencap from the 1994 film:


Here's a link to a movie review website that includes a trailer for From Beijing with Love:

https://www.azmovies.net/movie/from-beijing-with-love

Based on what I see in the trailer, the figure is a pretty decent likeness. The "backstory" is that the character is actually a meatcutter by trade, and an amateur sleuth on the side, which explains the number of knives included in the figure set.

Looks good. Looks better without the hat and glasses. Suit and tie works well.

Yes, I don't see any of the toypanic pictures in any posts.

This is why I go the long way around to post images, and copy the pics to my computer first and upload them to servimg.

I'm confused, you've commented on some of them, so I assumed you saw them.

Do you, Mark, see them? I know settings/security can make a difference. For example, I cannot see any of the new photos by coloth in his Star Trek thread (although others clearly have been able to see them), but I don't have problems seeing any of the New Product Announcement photos you, Diana, myself, or others have posted recently.

I use my iPad mostly, and I saw them from the beginning, but there have been times I am unable to see some folks pics, but it doesn’t happen often. I get long, LONG wait times sometimes for certain threads to load the pics, but that’s not really the issue.

Ok, phew, I was really worried there that nothing was showing and people were not telling me. I'll make a point of downloading and re-uploading at least three product photos via servimg (which seems to be the safest bet, and which I use for my photos), but with so many many many product photos to show per set, the rest would continue to be copy and paste.

The long load time happens to me too, but I figure it is a combination of Forumotion handling many and large images in the same window and me having a relatively slow internet connection. Sometimes I just open a thread in a new tab on the browser and do/look at other things before I go back to it, when everything has loaded.

I shall rephrase : as far as I know I can't see any of the toypanic pictures. If they do show up though of course I wouldn't know that they are from toypanic. But the pictures from all of those posts you made on that same day were broken links to me. And it seems plausible that this would affect all pictures from toypanic specifically, since I can't even access their website. Same problem on my private computer, so it's not a firewall thing either. It's clearly a them-thing.

ToyPanic does seem to have issues at times. I have them bookmarked, but every couple months I have to do a Google search for them and add a NEW bookmark as the previous just becomes a dead link. So, yes, it could definitely be a THEM issue as they clearly don’t have anyone in IT who has a brain in their head.

Just FYI, the photos I have been sharing for the new products were copied and pasted one by one from basically two sources: ToyPanic and OneSixthKit. This one was from ToyPanic, along with the bulk of most recent announcements. But once they get copied and pasted, I don't think their performance has anything more to do with the original hosting site. It may have to do with one's browser setting (if it were with Forumotion displaying them itself, none of us would be able to see them). Once in a blue moon someone posts something that I won't be able to see, no matter how long I let the page load (so it is not a delay issue). Again, I'd keep this in mind and try to single out a few photos for uploading via the dependable servimg (but with that many photos per product and my wrist issues, I can't do that for every single image).
A trick that might help moderators (sometimes; it helped me see photos by shovelchop when they were failing to load) like you in cases like this, is to hit the edit button on a post (without actually editing it) -- that might show you the images.

I am an IT person, but I'm clueless when it comes to hosting. I did actually hit the edit button to figure out what's going on. The images are still hosted at toypanic, as can be seen by the embedded img url. I tried taking a few of those urls and visiting the images directly, but that didn't work out, which was to be expected, since I can't visit the website either. I wish we knew why some people see them and a few don't. But even if we did, I still think there is nothing we can do, other than save the images and upload them here.

That’s why I always download all the images to my hard drive and then upload them from there. It seems to be the only way to ensure there’s no cross interference from some of these sites. As I said before, ToyPanic can be touchy, and I often have to “refined” the site, as the URL often goes missing. I’m guessing they get hacked, etc., and lose control and have to migrate over to a new location.
