What....no love for the Sorceress? She is my favorite character other than He-man. I really want to see her released in her classic white abd blue feathers and the modern egyptian version since all we got is a statue.

I already have Superman and Batman, but was wondering if Mattel plans on doing more. I would love to see a Wonder Woman, Green Lantern Hal, Aquaman, Firestorm Ronnie, and Cyborg to complete my Super Powers team.

crosses fingers, hoping to one day get a 12" Phoenix, Dark Phoenix, and Colossus

I like the Target Exclusives the best, especially Spinger and Dirge. The only one I really like is Fracture, AKA Crasher from the Gobots. She was my favorite character in the cartoon series. I wish the paint scheme was all black with red stripes like she was suppossed to look. I like the purple face homage, but I wish they would have given her a more feminine head mold resembling her cartoon appearance. I think she makes a great decepticon and would love to see her go against Arcee. For more info on Crasher: (taken from Wiki) Challenge of the Gobots The female Crasher was one of Cy-Kill's most loyal Renegades, despite a having somewhat manic personality. One of her favoured past times is participating in demolition derbies. Under interrogation, she admitted to having a crush on Leader-1 before the Guardians and Renegades began their struggle. Unlike most Gobots, she rarely seems to use her hand-mounted blasters, instead using a trademark attack wherein she stamps her foot on the ground to create a powerful earthquake-style energy discharge. Crasher's seeming state of near-madness effectively renders her fearless, and she has an ongoing grudge with the Guardian Turbo, rarely avoiding a chance to battle him. However, she tends to take any defeat or challenge very personally. Despite her gender, unlike many 1980s female cartoon characters Crasher is shown to be treated equally compared to her male counterparts, and is feared by most Guardians. Crasher appeared in almost every episode, usually as a featured character. The Transformers: Megatron: Origin In the second issue Crasher is one of the background Transformers cheering Megatron's victory over Cy-Kill. However, the character is drawn with a face similar to the toy, with a large red visor taking up much of the face. Toy Crasher’s toy was a re-release of the Machine Robo Porsche Robo figure. It was first issued by Tonka in 1983, in an authentic white Rothmans Porsche livery (of the 1982-87 factory team). However, from the outset the character was black/red in the cartoon, and by 1984 the toy was recolored to match Crasher's on-screen appearance. In 1993, the white version (with a new sticker sheet) was issued as "Sports Car" (the trademark "Crasher" now belonging to Hasbro) in Bandai's Robo Machines range.

I agree with Firestar. I love X-men more than any other team, but let's give this a rest. Personally I hate the Ultimate X-men costumes- they are boring! Jean still wearing that stupid tank top with the oversized collar, holes in her thighs, and flat bright yellow boots--YUCK. Cyclops is still wearing a pocket protector, and Storm has already had 3 costume changes and none of them work except maybe for the skirt outfit. Her current costume has no detail and is really ugly. Please ,if we are going to get another Jean Grey, I would rather have her in her JIM Lee duds and a FA Storm before I will even consider the ultimate version.

BotCon 2008 - Universe Classics 2.0 Toy Display Discussion
MarvelBoy1974 replied to Mike's topic in Transformers
I guess since Classics 2.0 will have Acidstorm, then the Heineke Takara seeker will be Sunstorm or Starscream's ghost. I sure hope they are able to release Thrust and Thundercracker with different paint apppkications than the Botcon exclusives. Thrust could be red with charcaol grey trim as opposed to the Botcon version, and TC can be a different blue with grey trim like in the cartoon. That way, the botcons are still exclusives and everyone is happy. Hasbro should make a toon accurate Dirge with remolded wings and release him as a seeker. -
Movie Scarlett looks just like Jean Grey should have looked in the X-men movies. I don't know about Rachel's acting skills, but with that red hair and light eyes she could have pulled Jean a lot better than Famke did and would have had much more chemistry with James Marsden as Cyclops. Famke is a great actress, but she was too old to play the part and doesn't look anything like Jean. If i go watch this movie is because Scarlett and the Baroness look so dang HOT.

1) Powerboy 2) Maxima green and gold costume or purple and gold costume 3) Silver Banshee 4) Silver Swan 5) Zan Animated 6) Jayna Animated with space monkey Gleek 7) Animated el Dorado 8) BAF Apache CHIEF 9) Faith or Hope modern white costume 10) Batman Beyond's friend Max from the animated series -
This will never happen, but If I could have one wish is to have a masterpiece Starscream in scale with OPand Megs. The Starscream that was released is more in scale with the Alternators line, not the Masterpiece line. Aside from that, I would like to see: Soundwave Rodimus Prime a HUGE Cyclonus at least a head taller than masterpiece OP Galvatron Skyfire/Jetfire aty least a head taller than Masterpiece OP Arcee

I am loving Scarlett, Baroness, and Duke. I kind of wish Scarlett's unifmorm was brown or tan leather looking, but the Sigma Six look fits her well, and Rachel looks hot as a redhead. I wish Tatum bleached his hair blond. CoverGirl was originally a blond in the cartoon, but I agree, she needs the jacket. Ripcord is a joke-every time I see a Wayans brother I fell like he's going to say something funny from In Living Color. Dennis just doesn't look like a General, and I am not feeling the tennis shoes on Storm Shadow-he looks more like Quick Kick. The shades on the Baroness are ugly. She should wear glasses with matted clear lenses.

2008 NYCC - Mattel and DC panel (Images Added)
MarvelBoy1974 replied to JohnnyRebelV2's topic in DC Comics
I can't wait to get all of them. I was waiting forthe 4 horsemen to release a male character with flesh tone plastic for the arms. With Amazo's body, I will finally be able to make a custom PowerBoy (one of my favorites!). Since he isn't well liked and was killed off, the chances of him being made are alomost none. I love how all the figures have a similar look to them. I can't get enough of thes figures. That WonderWoman and Artemis----MMMMMM! -
Northstar and Aurora Jim Lee Jean Grey with 2 head: 1 comic accurate with the hair down, and another with a ponytail like the X-men animated series, and animated Morph with Cyclops head, evil morph head, and regular Morph head Or jean and a new Jim lee Cyclops

X-men First Class Classic Alpha Flight Shiar Imperial Guard Animated Spiderman and his Amazing Friends

I would love to get my hands on the Icons 5 and 6 that were on display at the convention last year. If Icons is cancelled, do you think they would at least sell the prototypes?
-
I have to go with Bale. Christian is a great actor, and he is very underrated. While I think Keaton did a great job in his performance, he just didn't look the part. Bale has the body of a superhero and the acting chops to go with it.
-
My guess is that they are waiting for the convention to make any announcements. I really hope Hasbro honors its original plans and lets use have thelast Icons Phoenix, Dk Phoenix, Colossus, Daredevil and Nightcrawler. If I don't get a Phoenix in that scale, I will sell all of my icons. I don't mind waiting if there is a delay, it is just not knowing if there will be a product or not that is killing me.
-
It depends on what era of Transformers you like the best. If you want to go with the "look" that started it all, I would get: Masterpiece Optimus Primus and Masterpiece Megatron. They make great display pieces and the detail is awesome. If you decide on picking only 1 up, I would go for the Walmart Masterpiece Starscream or Masterpiece Skywarp. You can also order SS's crown at Bigbadtoystore.com.

Does any one care for the Alan Davis Dark Purple and Gold that Storm wore in Phoenix Endsong over the Messaih complex version in purple and white showing her thighs with no tights? Which version do you prefer and why?

I really like the new Electra body. I would love to have a Phoenix using that mold. the toybiz phoenix is too mechanical looking, has duck feet, and is too boxy in the waist; although i love the face and hair sculpt. I really want a Phoenix with sculpted boots and gloves as opposed to just painting them on-- I really hate that. so for me: 1) Phoenix/Dark Phoenix/White Phoenix of the crown with cape a'la Dave cockrum 2) Cyclops; Jim Lee bigger mold 3) Rogue Jim lee costume 4) Namor green trunks 5) Storm new costume 6) Magneto 7) Angel-hated the TB mold and wings, but I loved the head sculpt 8) Havok-the walmart looks constipated 9) Colossus-- too muscular 10) Black Panther unmasked
-
I would like a Jubilee in her white and yellow Wondra costume with no mask.
-
Hmm Let's See... I hate the AOA costumes for the most part, but there are some characters I would love to have from that Universe... 1) AOA Jean Grey-exactly as she appeared on the cover of Weapon X #1 with the shoulder belt 2) Aoa X-man 3) AOA Forge with removable cloak 4) Blink 5) translucent Sunfire 6) AOA Cyclops 7) AOA Havok BAF Apocalypse

I think for the most part, any X-men 2 packs should incorporate 1 female and 1 male. Of course I am only saying this because I LOVE female X-men. Here's my list: 1) Jim Lee Jean Grey and Jim Lee Cyclops (taller mold) 2) Northstar and Aurora 3) Polaris- current modern green costume/ Havok current costume 4) FA Storm or Alan Davis Storm and Black Panther unmasked 5) Rogue Jim Lee outfit new sculpt and Gambit New sculpt 6) Gladiator and Oracle in modern costume or Lilandra in silver armor 7) Marvelgirl Rachel Grey black costume and Korvus with Phoenix Sword 8) Vulcan Phoenix (I loved his costume with the gold scarf) Vs. Dark Phoenix (new sculpt) 9) Jubilee in standard X-men uniform/w yellow trench and Wolverine in standard X-men uniform 10) modern Warpath and Hepzibah
-
I also agree. I think Ares is the way to go, although I too would like a Cheetah. So who makes up the wave? Wonder Woman Cyborg Ares who else?
-
Is the Cobra La set going to include a Pythona Figure? I would also love to see: CoverGirl Zarana Jinx Firewall Maybe a new Bomestrike Ninja Scarlett or Undercover Scarlett in Quarrel colors Maybe by some miracle: Dr. Knox Mistress Armada Zanya
