  1. Uh... Super7 has had the Nosferatu "license" for years. They've made at least a half dozen Nosferatu ReAction figures. This is probably teasing an Ultimate.
  2. Looks really good, but will need to see more to really get too excited about it.
  3. Putting aside likeness issues and Batman's giant belt/underwear that makes him look like he's wearing a diaper... There are some really odd just blatantly wrong things on these. Like how do they screw up Robin's cape? This isn't some comic or short lived thing where you can kinda get stuff wrong. There is tons of reference material on this. Very odd.
  4. It's hard to tell if the lighting in those photos are washing everything out (and making the TMNT so bright) or if that's truly how they look. Hopefully everything is a bit more muted in person. I'm kinda shocked no one else has tried Beetlejuice before now.
  5. Has any of McFarlane's stuff been hard to find? I don't buy any of his DC stuff cause it's all weird "comic vampire hunter ventriloquist Batman" or whatever, but I see it everywhere. Outside of maybe some oddball variants, it certainly seems like distribution has been good.
  6. Eh... The entire original movie is filled with social/political crap. Literally, EVERY Troma movie is. And the plot of the Toxic Avenger is also literally about male toxicity. That's the entire plot. Revenge on toxic males with... Toxic waste. Sometimes people miss the messages in Troma films because they're often done with such crude tactics, but they're covered in them. That said, nothing about this remake seems to make sense. Maybe it'll be good, here's hoping, lotta talent involved but it certainly feels like it's going to stray far away from the Toxie I know and love and there's no bigger Toxie fan than me. Is Dinklage going to grow? Is Melvin going to be a little person and that's why he's singled out? It's all a little baffling. I almost wonder if they're going to go in an entirely different direction and Dinklage is going to be a relatively normal person but he turns into some kind of hideous monster, but less like Toxie and more like some kinda giant CGI thing with tentacles or something. Seems to be leaning more into the horror aspect than what Toxie became. But again, all just speculation at this point. Hopefully it gets Troma enough cash and clout to finally make Toxic Avenger 5.
  7. So it should be twice the price of the firehouse, not 5x. FWIW, I don't care. I'm sure Playmobil will get what they want out of it. But it seems a bit needlessly big and pricey for what it is. Everyone all crammed up inside there. The price is bonkers, anyway you slice it. Playmobil does good stuff, but I'm not seeing the value here even if it's a really large piece. But to each his own.
  8. Wasn't his whole pitch with this line that Hasbro was NEVER going to make a 6 inch line? I seem to recall a lot of chest puffing in regards to that. Of course, before this was even past the early stages Hasbro already had a 6 inch line in stores (well sorta) and the entire focus of this line had to be shifted to being a compatible line, moreso than a replacement. Too much of the Joe community can be toxic, moreso than any of the other communities, which all have certain levels of toxicity in them. That said, I'm all in for Sarge.
  9. Batcave looks fun, especially if they can nail that $30 price point. Would be great for some of my other displays. The figures don't look that good to me. Not terrible, but not great even at $15. Might change my mind seeing them in person, though. As much as I love the 66 show, I think it's hard to capture in toy form. If you go too literal, things end up looking gangly and wonky like Mattel, but if you try to beef things up like McFarlane has here, it still doesn't look right. I think it needs to be reinterpreted on some level, but finding that sweet spot is difficult. I actually really liked the Funko 3 inch line, as it seemed to do that well... But we never got that darn second wave with the main villains. Blah.
  10. Considering how good Frank and the Mummy look, kinda odd to see this face sculpt so off. Hopefully the other heads are better.
  11. Playmobil is always pricey, but this pricetag is nuts. The Ghostbusters Firehouse was at least this big and was like $100. I wouldn't pay more than $150 for an item like this, which is where most collectors top out at. You'd have to be both a super hardcore Trek collector and a super hardcore Playmobil collector to fork down that kinda cash. But if you're just one or the other, it's not going to get you to bite. And if you're even remotely casual, no dice. Shame too, could be a fun set for my Minimates.
  12. This line was doomed early on. Props to Mattel for shooting big, but this just never had potential to have the legs they wanted. They should have worked on a really nice 6 inchish line like the SDCC exclusive Voltron.
  13. NECA's TMNT was never sold at Toys R Us. They were sold at Hot Topic and FYE, as well as comic shops. NECA wasn't allowed to sell them in regular retailers. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know what they're saying. The figures are great, but who knows if we'll get more. Playmates does strange things. You can read a massive classics review here: http://www.infinitehollywood.com/2012/07/ninja-turtle-classic-collection.html Playmates never seems to know what they have and have squandered the TMNT license before, but almost all their new toys show a lot of promise.
  14. You're not alone! I've been giving the AT some love over at Infinite Hollywood.
  15. Hart's a bitter old tool who blames everyone but himself for his problems. He failed in WCW. HIM. It was entirely on HIM. No one else. Hogan wasn't the issue, neither was Bischoff. Hell, they inserted Hart into arguably the biggest match in WCW history Hogan/Sting to try and get the guy over. Bret couldn't work the southern style, simple as that. He had creative control and wanted to be a face, even though he was coming off his hottest ever run as a heel. Fans didn't like him. HIS fault. Now after years of blaming HBK and Vince for his issues, he had to get humbled this year because he desperately needed some cash and basically made out with HBK in the middle of the ring at Vince's will. So now that he can't be mad at those guys anymore, suddenly Hulk Hogan and WCW are to blame for everything? Hart's the biggest whiner in the history of wrestling.
