  1. Not sure what that Superman is based on; clearly not the box art artist. It looks like a nod to Gary Frank. If so, during that timeline Superman did not have wrist bands on his sleeves, his belt had the classic circular buckle, there were belt loops, and most importantly, he had his yellow 'S' emblem on the back of his cape. This is basically just another lazy repaint and I really expect better of someone who's a legend in the comic community.
  2. Oh yeah I'm seeing some pirate re-use here! Ahoy ye scurvy dogs!
  3. Word on the street is that those are actual working locks, do don't lose the keys!
  4. If you're talking about the Crossover two-pack, then yeah, I agree with you. Clearly I love Mythic Legions and have been riding with them since year 0....but as great as this set is, I see nothing to justify a $159.00 price tag on BBTS. I mean they just dropped their Reinforcements wave that has SEVEN figures, including a 9" tall ogre, all complete with weapons, soft goods, alt heads etc and all for $200.00. "Exclusive" or not, how is the TWO pack this much? Sorry but for me, the math ain't mathin' here.
  5. Exactly. This guy has been making action figures for almost 30 years now and shouldn't be pumping out sub-par products, expecting everyone to just go ga-ga 'cause his name is attached. Call it "Gold Edition", "Platinum Label", "Ambassador Circle" "Elite Diamond Tier", or whatever other name you want to make up so it sounds like some must-have collectible (its pathetic how many people fall for this). At the end of the day, its still crudely done work.
  6. So true. They look great and I have no doubt they're top notch. BUT they're simply not worth that price. Hopefully LC will offer these again sometime at a more reasonable cost. If not, I've learned the value of just walking away. No hate, just save my $$
  7. They look unfinished, they look bland, they look like they have weak articulation....so-called 30 points, but just check out these boring, nearly static poses. I don't know what Valaverse was going for here, but surely this isn't it.
  8. He's got a strong resemblance to Dungeons & Dragons' Venger! I love this shot of them fighting on the stone spiral staircase....great angle!
  9. Oh, now I remember why I don't try doing my own photo shoots. 'Cause I could never do anything this good, that's why. Silly me.
  10. $30.00? For what?? The figures are crude, clumsy, and the fancy label fools no one.
  11. Just look at how even their re-paints are a whole 'nother level. Yoshanai Kari is the Monkey King they just released- only with updates that are so good, its a must-have figure. Skapular is a figure within a figure! I was gonna pass on that as I have the original....but then look at al the stuff there. The weapons packs from way back in Wave I were incredible, LOOK how improved they are now. This is the kind of thing that ticks me off about hasbo's Legends- barely any thought or care into updating or re-using on the same level as FourHorsemen. Clearly they're making sure collectors know that, just because they've branched out to COSMIC Legions, Mythic isn't gonna get left behind. Anyone who's thinking of jumping in on this, I advise doing now. These only increase in price afterwards.
  12. Fans were talking about Atlus having a bear to ride way back during the first Kickstarter, almost 10 years ago. And every wave they've come out with since, has just been stellar.
  13. I CURSE Four Horsemen for this, why the frenchtoast did they have to go and do this, right after I inventoried my Mythic Legions and see that I have practically all of them?? I swore I was gonna cut back and then these yabbos go and do this. Can't even try to say I dont have the money 'cause I just got a raise AND a bonus. AAAAAAH!
  14. Outstanding! Mythic Legions and Xesray Studio! Perfect composition here!
  15. Seriously doubt there will be much of a need to get the answer, because this likely won't fund. I know people are hoping for a last minute "Giant-Man" surge, but these figures arent known characters, the concept is wonky, and shart is not a multibillon dollar company that has the IP for one of the most popular lines out there. Not being a hater, it just is what it is.
  16. I laughed out loud when they tried to pass this guy off as Superman during the Supergirl series (which had its own weak storylines). Yeah, he's no Cavill, but couldn't they have found SOMEONE more fitting for the part? Then he gets his own show, looking a bit better (but doesnt know how to use a razor I guess). And then they slap him with the wife and not one, but TWO teenage kids straight out of CW Casting. Frankly I'm surprised it lasted this long. From what I saw, it wasnt an awful show (not like that steaming pile that Batwoman was) but it just didn't grab me.
  17. Darwyn Cooke drew her in boots like those. Her 2002 run was pretty much what you see there.
  18. Your question might be valid but it needs to be directed towards shartimus. Its his kickstarter so he should know. Not every project funds and not every project is gonna grab backers' interest. Myself, not seeing why these would be over $30.00, but to each his own.
  19. One of the first released wayyy back when this was just a kickstarter. How they've grown since then. The new touches are nice; I would've liked to see some actual feathered or feather-type plumes for the helmet this time around, and some deco on the shields. I'm glad these are in stock!
  20. In 2021 when he first tried this I was gonna back it. But there were so many flaws and stalling, he clearly was thinking his success as a youtuber would guarantee backers. His business sense just wasn't there and he blamed a lot of the problems on others instead of himself. This time around its good that he actually has the prototypes made. However the whole thug thing (seriously, underwear sticking out over the belt?) is just ....off-putting.
  21. That doesn't make any sense. @jwheeler0805 wasn't saying they can't be made, he's pointing out the errors of the figures that have been made. Clearly there's no one preventing them from being made, permission is not an issue.
  22. Well said. Attention to detail. Can't grasp why DC Universe Classics got it right 9 times out of 10, and today's "giants", who have cornered the market and are multimillion dollar companies seem to phone it in.
