  1. I bought the NECA versions, and while the Super7 Wingnut looks much better I must say I prefer the NECA Scumbug. I know the major difference is that one is Original vs. Animated, but something about NECA's stuff, in general looks much better to me. They really do have a grip on doing "animated" figures the right way. It's something companies like Hasbro can take some pointers from.
  2. Yeah, kinda douchey, but some hardcore collectors, especially in these throwback lines, are all about the rarity of items like this. I can see both sides. What works better, making it exclusive for the early backers to get a short produced item or making it available to late comers who may not back the project otherwise? Either way, I pretty much see this "Early Bird" trend in the same way as @JayC said in his video. If they (any company) continues with this it's just gonna open up a can of worms that might actually alienate fans rather than energize them.
  3. This thing is cool but ouch!. Of course it is SHF so I expected it to be on the expensive side, but a bit out of my comfort zone. Guess I'll just admire it from afar.
  4. Sure, let us get hooked and then just unexpectedly (or expectedly, at this point) cancel it. We all know that's what's gonna happen.
  5. I'll say, the first season was great, but the second season started to skew the same direction as all the other terrible WB/DC shows that got cancelled. I liked the character, and the show was pleasantly entertaining, but it might be best to cut it off now and start with a clean slate.
  6. Can't wait for this one. If Revelations did anything right it was the new character designs.
  7. Hopefully those female troopers look half as good as the renders. If so I'll fork out for mo less than 3 sets.
  8. You took the words right out of my mouth. If this is how hood they can do female figures, then both of those ladies deserve to have better renditions of their figures.
  9. Just glad to see Cavill back in the Super tights and as a fan of Liam he really needs the work.
  10. The goofiness is just a trademark of Gunn's particular writing style. The best thing about this is these guys actually know what they're doing in terms of continuity and relativity of characters and storylines. Up till now WB has hired a buncha nobody's that may have been good writers (big maybe), but couldn't create one cohesive universe to save their lives. Every show or movie was doing it's own thing. They had to sell everything as they all took place in different universes. Kinda like a lot of stuff they do in the comics. If the intent in the future is to follow in the MCU's successful formula then they need to make one universe where all or most of the movies have some significance to each other and the characters can intermingle. I don't expect that they expect Gunn to write every show/movie and put his own particular spin on it, they're still gonna have writers and directors for every project he's there to make sure everything makes sense and fits together and has a direction and destination for the future. Basically, they're DC's version of Kevin Feige. If anyone can do it these guys can. In the inverse, Marvel has gone into this weird zone of hiring all these no-name writers and director with little to no experience in the industry and have absolutely no attachment to the characters and source material they are being put in charge of, nor do they have any desire to familiarize themselves with it, and just end up writing a buncha fan fiction shows with the character's names attached. So if the DC Universe has any chance of unseating the MCU as the premier Super Hero universe, that time is now.
  11. Pretty much everything Super7 shows out is a tease. Pre-Orders are out the wazoo, but I can't remember the last time they actually put out any product.
  12. Hell no, that's just a reason for them to re-release the same action figure with a different painted jersey. McFarlane made a mint of that. The fans want that guy with their team jersey on it.
  13. Ya, I'm an older cat. Those are the guys I remember. Of course I know Curry and LeFlop James, actually all these guys. I'm just remembering back to the glory days where players played both ends of the court and they didn't take zero resistance crash to the ground every time someone scuffed their kicks. I'm sure there will be a legends sub-line where some of these guys show up. You're probably right about the Chuckster. He's pretty greedy with his face. Guess he's just to pretty to lend it to anyone.
  14. Chester looks too cool. I must resist the impulse to buy it though. Would love to have it, but I just have too many irons in the fire for this. I may come back on that though. Everything else looks pretty good too. Look who showed up to the action figure game. I know they've had a few before, but looks like they're jumping in with both feet now. Lets see what the price point lands at, cuz there's plenty of room to make a big splash if they want.
  15. They are operating a lot in the same vein as what Super7 has been doing. Basically showing a ton of (cool) product and getting a bunch of pre-orders, while very little product is being produced and shipped. I eventually had to cancel all my pre-orders from them and am very close to doing so with these. I'm fairly patient, but at this point it's almost like "just give us the money now and we'll get around to producing the product eventually". Legitimately I could move into another house before any of this product even begins to ship out.
  16. Wow, I never even knew Pixel Dan was a wrestler. I've been a casual fan of his for years. Such a nice dude. I got mad respect for these guys. Sure, it's scripted and most of the time the outcomes are pre determined, but the training they have to go through is real and the hits they take are real in their attempts for entertain a crowd.
  17. These things look terrible. They look like 90's action figures but with more (not necessarily better) articulation. Just look at those thigh gaps. Holy Hell. Playmates has never been that good at "High Articulation", but damn they gotta do better than this. And what's up with those face sculpts? Everyone looks like Data but with different pigmentation and facial hair. A franchise like Star Trek deserves better than this. Hardcore Trekkies are gonna get these cuz they have nowhere else to go, but for guys like me, fans but not fanatical, we're gonna see this one as nothing at all is better than money spent on bad, subpar product.
  18. Right? Got 'em all on pre-order. The Lady Death was amazing. Almost like that's where Marvel Legends was headed with the Moonstone mold, but then The Great Flattening happened. I wanna support them cuz they're doing some great stuff but I'm beginning to wonder if the rest of them will ever come out.
  19. Great, the guys who can't get height or weight or scale comparison right to save their lives in any other line is doing NBA figures where height and weight are main factors of what the characters look like. Looking forward to years of the 6'1" John Stockton standing eye-to-eye with the 6'6" Michael Jordan and the 6'5" Charles Barkley looking over the 7'1" Shaquille O'Neal's head. Not like anyone else has got it right either but let's just see how bad these guys manage to screw this up. My money's on Royaly.
  20. I got no problems with recast. What a lot of people don't understand in today's market is that it's supposed to be about the story. The actors they cast should honestly be irrelevant if the story is good. Sure you don't wanna cast an 80 year old man as Superman and you want someone whose a fairly good actor to pull of the part but that's the job of the casting director to find the fit. If a person leaves that role for any reason, there's no reason they couldn't find another fit. Jordan's Jonathan Kent, though well done, is not the be all, end all definitive version of the character. He's not irreplaceable. He's not the only person capable of doing the part. Most actors will say the don't want to be defined by one role, anyway. Best wishes to Jordan and I hope he gets the help he needs. I'm probably in the minority, but I wouldn't have actually minded all that much if they had recast even Black Panther after Chadwick Boseman passed, rest his soul. Sure it would have been a little awkward seeing another person in the role, but again, if the story/movie is good it would have been fine. Boseman was great in the role, but the character was there long before him and he didn't define the character and the character didn't define him. In all honesty I really think he had more memorable roles. Never casting the character again does not honor the role of BP. Never allowing anyone to play the character does not honor legacy of the character. Letting someone else play the part and allowing them to do the character justice and give it the respect the last person is the right way to honor the character.
  21. Well I guess yours and my definition of extremely successful is just different. Sure, I'm sure Disney made plenty of money off Phase 4, as Disney does, but for the most part the MCU, in the post Iron Man/Captain America era looks like a convoluted, confusing mess that looks to have implemented the entire Multiverse, Quantum Zone and Infinite Timelines concepts to somehow make sense of everything at a future time that they haven't figured out yet. It's nothing new, no big deal, it's what they do in the comics. I'm just saying right now is the time for DC to come up with come with a plan that the fans can get on board with to create one cohesive universe where all of the heroes can exist, while Marvel decides what the next step is. I'm sure BP2 and GOTG3 will kill and Marvel will be back in form once Fantastic Four and The Mutants get folded into the mix.
  22. The fact that Phase 4 is so terrible is the exact reason a better company should be able to take advantage of the situation on hand and try to overtake what Marvel is doing, cuz to be honest I don't think Marvel even knows what the hell Marvel is trying to do. I'm fairly certain a large part of bursting the entire Multiverse and Quantum Zone concepts wide open is so Marvel can pretty much backtrack or all out make anything up when they decide to go hard with the licenses they just picked up form Fox such as X-Men and Fantastic Four. Questions like where were the X-Men and where did they come from? Multiverse. Where was the World's Smartest Man when the Avengers were trying to figure out how to undo the Snap.? Quantum Zone. Long story short. Right now is the perfect time for WB to get something started while Marvel is back on it's heels and only getting worse by the seconds.
