  1. Oh its not you, its down to apathy not just from McFarlane, but from the fans that buy his stuff, regardless of the blah. Why put in effort if they're gonna buy it no matter what. Also he's on record stating that female figures historically don't sell well. I'd counter that he's using outdated data to conclude that, but if that's how he feels (and remember he's been making figures since the 90s and is a multi-millionaire; is he gonna listen to anyone) again why put in the effort? And no this is not some personal thing slamming the man, I simply don't care for his line for reasons stated many times before. If I were a Miss Martian fan, I'd just hold my cash and wait to see what Mattel does with her.
  2. You're probably right about the $22.00 mark being phased out earlier (pre soft goods). That is flat out weird for customer service to tell you the holes would be small, because how else would the horns/wings etc fit. What were they thinking. What they should have done, was thrown in another helmet.
  3. The addition of the soft goods tunic prices it out of the $22.00 mark. Still, I think if this wasn't an exclusive, it wouldn't come in at $60.00, probably more like $35-40.00. The "cleric" on their Kickstarter is at $35.00, for example. Now while I love red and the Legions line in general, $60.00 is just pushing it.
  4. These look GREAT! I love the bright colors, comic correct. .none of that dull, muted paint so many try to label as "grounded". If this is the "kids" line just imagine how much better the regular collector line will be. These are are already head and shoulders above McFarlane. Wow....looks like I'm gonna start getting DC figures now!
  5. Storm Collectibles put out SCIENCE NINJA TEAM GATCHAMAN figures of Mark and Princess; they're about $100.00 so a bit pricey. Still, they are 6" articulated figures AND they have visors for their helmets lol
  6. Amazing that this character first appeared in a novel from 1969, but never made it to the big screen. One can definitely see this being the inspiration for Marvel's Punisher. Having said that, the comparisons between the two might hurt this production. Let's face it, the Punisher is far more widely known and has more public presence (that's good AND bad) to the point where he overshadows the Executioner. The theme of "former military expert's family is slain by the Mob,he turns his abilities into wiping them out", and variations thereof, is almost cliche now. Remo Williams the Destroyer, the Penetrator, Sable (Mike Grell), Reacher, etc. So the film is gonna need something to distinguish itself from all of that. Be interesting to see how Hawkins pulls it off.
  7. I hear you. If people think the phrase "its so cringe" is overdone these days, it definitely applies there.
  8. Maybe its time to just abandon this "reboot"/ endless "sequel" mentality, and concentrate on some original material. This outcome could actually be a good thing.
  9. Never heard of this but gotta say, that first pic gives me Shane Gooseman vibes from the Galaxy Rangers!
  10. Oh and did he really just DRAW her boots on? Come on, toddster, how lazy is that. And dont get me started on the goofy look Capt Marvel Jr. has (just as an aside- for some bizarre reason, my DCU Classics Capt Marvel Jr. is on a shelf I have as I'm storing some figures...even has the braiding/florettes on the cape. To be fair though in the comics, his didn't always have them, unlike Captain Marvel). I'm content to wait to see how Mattel does these.
  11. You said it. What on earth....I thought at first this was some kind of Robot Chicken puppet thing....aggh. All the more reason to wait for the new Mattel line to take over.
  12. I could do without the f bombs; you can do an "edgy" and/or "adult" movie about the Green Lantern Corps without all that. Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, though, really works for me. Galactic super hero doing detective work in Nebraska doesn't sound intriguing, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
  13. WTH....had no idea this was on the horizon, and I looked at Mezco's page like 2-4x this morning, just browsing. And then I saw this....AFTER it was sold out, which means it couldnt have been up for more than a few minutes! I'm not necessarily saying I wanted it, but dang Mezco...if I did, I'm out of luck
  14. These look great, especially our green haired alien. Putting them on Vorgga's body underscores that they need better female base figures though. Articulation should be up there with Valiant Knight at least. And surprised they haven't used Vorgga's body for an upgraded Queen Urkzaa.
