  1. Is there a snowball's chance that you guys will hire some better sculptors for the Justice League line who can actually do details on the characters? Will you guys ever make them properly scaled to each other? Is Justice League such a throw-away license to you? It is the one toy line I still collect, and the one treated with the least respect by Mattel.
  2. The grey looks too dark. It should be more of an aircraft grey.
  3. Actually, $38 for all of that shipped is a very good price. I don't know what your problem is, but you come off sounding like a real ass.
  4. What has me worried most is the "lighter and funnier-than-ever" comments in the press release. I really loved the dark dramatic tone of the new series. I didn't get to see it on television, I've been picking up the DVDs, and I couldn't wait to get the next DVD just to see what would happen next! I fear it is going to be a great step backwards. And "jumping the shark" is a phrase still used quite commonly in TV Land (not the channel, dolt!).
  5. For the season sets, Paramount opted to put the series in broadcast order, which I agree totally bites. When the show was being made, the early episodes really show an evolution of how they were figuring things out. The costumes, props, sets, even the cast were changing from episode to episode until they reached the traditional look we all know today. After getting five or six episodes completed, NBC decided to air "The Man Trap" first, since it had the finalized cast (DeForest Kelley as the regular ship's doctor) and wardrobe. Which made no sense because a few episodes later they aired "Where No Man Has Gone Before", the actual pilot, which featured "The Cage"-style uniforms, a different looking bridge, and Dr Piper as ship's surgeon. I can only imagine how confusing that must have been for viewers back then. VHS and laserdisc releases thru the years have always put the episodes in production order (the proper order for continuity's sake) as did the individual DVD releases. Why the dipsticks at Paramount opted to do the box sets in broadcast order is beyond me.
  6. Those are Playmates. . . which we will not get any more official versions of. Nice work!
  7. I agree. Playmates really dropped the ball on the Star Trek property. After they did the original Enterprise, I was so looking forward to a classic Klingon battlecruiser, but they never did it. They grew increasingly apathetic about the Trek line, eventually getting rid of the decent articulation on the figures, less detail on the ships, changing the scale of the figures, and offering too many "exclusives" so you couldn't complete your collection. Still, what they did along the way was incredibly cool and stands as the best collection of Trek stuff available.
  8. I've seen repackaged Stone Biter and Armorized Shredder, but not the others. Quarry probably won't hit for a while.
  9. I would love to see Playmates get around to these --- Oroku Saki (in his regular outfit, not as Shredder) Baxter Stockman (original appearance in lab coat) Dragonface Garbageman The rest of the Foot Mystics Clear Foot Tech Ninjas Foot Technician 4 or 6 pack of Mousers Mr Mortu Shredder with removable Utrom A proper scale Leatherhead The Triceraton Leader Federation Trooper -- and a playset of Shredder's penthouse lair. Any other suggestions?
  10. I was surprised they were showing two new episodes per night. Not unappreciative, mind you; I could watch Justice League all-night! But if they were trying to stretch out a limited season, showing one episode would have given them a four week run instead of the two. Just guessing here, but maybe they wanted to get the jump on YTV. Last spring, YTV in Canada was broadcasting the final new episodes of the season weeks in advance of their Cartoon Network premieres. But in the end, who can guess the reasoning behind why CN does half of what it does? And where's the DVDs??? After doing a small handful of individual first season releases, Warner suddenly bypassed the second season altogether (except for the finale Starcrossed) and started doing JLU. I think Warner/DC needs a corporate restructuring to put someone who cares in charge.
