"I can't pull out anything that's larger than the mouth of the bag" - Shaman
(Paraphrasing, from when he "lost" Talisman into his pouch after the fight with Omega Flight)

Yet, Shaman has pulled out staffs, even totem poles that were larger. Granted they start smaller and expanding (well the staff he used at the Eye to go save Walter was it's full size)... but this doesn't seem to make much sense and appeared to be a lazy way of explaining why Shaman couldn't pull Talisman out.

Story is story, I get that. But consistency would be nice.
