I agree. I would never let the design of the symbol ruin the movie for me if it's good, but it can give us an idea of the headspace that the creators are in. The abritrary changes seem odd to me, and it doesn't look "right." It makes me wonder what else they won't get right. Again, it's too early to tell, but it doesn't inspire confidence.

I had several of these (missing Ray I believe). They were a fun idea and it was cool to see the somewhat different outfits. I remember getting the Winston first and I immediately snapped off his left arm because there is a bit of torque with his head-spinning thing - hold the body! I did sort of fix it though and it worked well enough. The weapons are a bit weriid for ghost catching as they all have a physical element (and proton blasters to the side), but the mini-ghosts are cool.

Super7- Disney+ Willow ReAction Wave 3 Figures Tease
Brian Langlois replied to toynewman's topic in Action Figure News
The series actually was pretty good, at least to me. It's a bit weird, but then again, the movie is a bit weird, so it was very on-brand. I liked it more and more as it progressed just because it really was just okay with being what it was. I get that it wasn't a success, but it's a shame that Disney is just burying it. -
Hasbro Announces G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra Video Game
Brian Langlois replied to toynewman's topic in Action Figure News
Ooh - I'll defintiely be keeping an eye on this one. It looks nice, so let's hope the execution is good too. I dig the song for sure! -
Yeah, that would actually work for M.A.S.K!
-
I agree. At first I am like, "Awesome M.A.S.K. at Super7!" But then I think about it and...yeah, they're going to be spectacular and spectacularly expensive. I have resisted those Silverhawks Ultimates, but I am not sure I will be able to control myself around M.A.S.K.

Yeah, but that's not what the Paramount executive said: "I’m so excited and proud to be working with Hasbro and eOne to bring the first animated Transformers movie to theaters for a never-before-told story"

"First" animated Transformers movie. These people don't have a clue. I mean, does this count for nothing? 1986 represent!

Man, i haven't posted here in YEARS, but been following again recently. Hi to anyone who remembers me. Anyway, I didn't read THIS story, but once in a 90's issue of Superman, Dracula himself bit Superman. The fangs did penetrate because of Drac's magic nature, however the instant he tasted that solar-charged blood, he disintegrated! I can't remember the exact issue where this happened though. Superman should be immune to vampirism in general, however this story clearly played fast and loose with the lore like that. Like while a Green Lantern could become a vampire, the ring should either protect the bearer initially or at the very least disallow using it to flat murder people. It would likely go seek a new bearer. So, really, it's just story reasons. I've heard it was actually pretty good overall as an Elseworlds type thing.

The picture has lied to you. All of the figures come with minimal gear. This means helmets (except for Tele-Viper and HISS Commander), and only whatever pistols and knives are necessary to fit in whatever sheathes/holsters that the figure may have. You have to get the regular releases of the figures (the ones that have them, at least) to get all the 'standard' gear. On one hand, it's cheap and the figures feel like they're missing things simply because they have the bare minimum. On the other, I've seen other companies just leave out the accessories on the vehicle drivers, so I'm actually quite pleased. Hasbro could have easily switched parts and removed all the holsters and such to begin with. I gotta be honest, I'm a little torn on it myself... I have a question about the gear? My Steeler didn't come with a gun, but he has an ankle holster for one. Was it supposed to have one? It is kind of bothering me. Yes, I'm still around, just haven't posted in a while. Hope everyone's doing well.

I went to TRU this morning and found ONE peg worth of the single packs. It was ONE case only, and there was no Cobra Commander. I was the first person to the aisle, so an employee must have grabbed that one. I left only a Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. I'm glad I got there when I did. What a paltry shipment!

I found them. It's really not hard to dig them up out there. They look great! I am excited for Joe again.

FIRST OFFICIAL MENTION OF 25th ANNIVERSARY LINE!!!
Brian Langlois replied to Arashikage Storm's topic in G.I. Joe
Finally some Joe news! I've missed collecting and can't wait to see what they have in store. I'm not that hard to please, so I don't have any real serious reservations. I'm just glad that some 3.75" Joes are going to be in stores again. -
Deep Frying makes EVERYTHING better! I haven't had oreos, but I've had twinkies, and they are delicious.

Preorders start Friday (probably end Friday too) at gamestop.
Brian Langlois replied to amazingdm's topic in Action Figures
It wasn't too bad when I did it for Gamecube. There weren't a lot of hardcore gamers there though, mostly moms picking it up for the holidays. I had to do it that way last time becasue the only game stores in my city were all selling only bundles with a bunch of crap I didn't want. One store even lied to me and told me that was the way Nintendo was selling them. Like Nintendo was shipping bundles with a thrid-party generic controller and a subscription to that store's magazine! I chese not to do business with them and went to Wal-Mart to buy just the core set. It was alright, but a friend of mine got sick, so only one person ended up waiting with me and coming over to play that night. Oh well.
