  1. It would be very easy at this point. All they gotta do is change the tip of the fast pack
  2. That light blue looks so much better than light purple
  3. I feel the same about Plamax. A few odd fighters and two battroid kits, one being the 1D, but no 1D fighter yet and a bunch of 1A fighters, but no 1Abattroid yet. All the gotta really do to make me happy would be a kit with all head pets for the battroid and same for the fighters and basic decal sets and then I wouldn’t have to wait, but I guess they really want you to pick up each release. Also no gerwalk yet. these two companies are both doing VF-1 kits, but trying so hard not to get in each other’s way over super slight variations
  4. Probably gonna be a while since max factory has theirs coming out pretty soon
  5. I’ve been complaining about that ever since it came out. They easily could’ve made it to where these clean red pieces just pop in with a simple bit of extra backing and the holes already open. It wouldn’t have even been more plastic or anything really.
  6. Yeah, Hasegawa is definitely learning some big lessons compared to their old battroid kit i started small on the holes and slowly made them a little bigger with a needle file until it was just wide enough to still hold the lense without falling through , then used a little extra thin cement around the edges. If you use a little panel lining on the round pat of the plastic where the unclear bits are, it makes a good guide to let you know if you’re still centered
  7. It’s up for preorder at the usual spots. Hope they do a strike battroid next
  8. Rogue wasn’t even announced until after the show and is still in development and won’t be out til next year. Jubilee isn’t even up for preorder yet, but I guarantee that the decision to go with her is based on her appearance in the 97 show. Sure , they may be doing comic style but they’re trying to do a cash grab for anything with a bigger media attention. Medicom is trying to strike while the iron is hot and occasionally luke warm. And trust me, I totally get why you think there should be an Ice Man figure, but it’s probably gonna be a while, if they do it at all. As I’ve stated above, there’s a certain difficulty of making that figure cost effective and then there’s gonna be the question of relevance in the modern era. If he were to pop up as a regular appearance in the show or even a movie spot in the upcoming marvel films, then there’d definitely be a higher chance we’d see him sooner.
  9. This summer’s got me burnt out, I’m ready for Ernie wintergonna watch some Airwolf by the air conditioner
  10. I like Junkyard Joe, he’s a cool concept for a toy. Kind of a bit of an interesting choice there. His comic was actually pretty interesting. I haven’t actually read many lately, but a buddy had it and let me check it out at work
  11. It’s for my modeling…………………………………………………...plastic modeling
  12. They actually do. The popularization from the shows is what makes a character relevant, although they are more stylized to the comics than the cartoons, the recent 97 show is more than likely why they finally made a rogue and are also doing jubilee. It’s kinda like with Batman stuff. The fact that Harley Quin gets featured heavily in movies and shows and other media is why we see so much of her. She was only a cartoon add in, but her popularity means that if a company is doing a Batman related line that they’re guaranteeing a Harley at some point. Or there’s the popularity of Deadpool. He’s in current media, so he’s getting a toy. It’s unfortunate that a lesser character like Jubilee is getting the other media attention while bigger comic characters are being ignored, but Medicom is a business and they want to cash in on something while it’s popular. Before the 97 show, they were more adventurous with Psylocke, but now they want to get that popularity cash. I wouldn’t be super surprised to see Morph if it wasn’t for the difficulty of his effects over a character like colossus even though Morph wasn’t even a thing until the animated series. But he was featured in the 97 show, so it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
  13. I love them as well, since it’s easy to explain buying yourself a glass nail file or nail clippers from the beauty store, but it’s a little weird looking at women’s compacts for earth tones. The hobby shop charges more, but it saves the embarrassment
  14. I meant the 90’s cartoon and she was in the comics around that time, usually partnered awkwardly close to Wolverine, the most popular of the X-Men. She basically was his Robin for a bit. And she’s also in the 97 show, so definitely more popular. Ice Man was more popular of a character up til the mid 80’s though and I remember him more fondly from that era and being in Spider-Man. Psylocke was kind of an odd one in that she turned up in only a couple episodes of the old cartoon series and seemed to be popular due to hotness in the comics more around the late 80’s early 90’s comics. but one of the big reasons they probably aren’t going to do Iceman anytime soon may be the difficulty of an action figure. You’d almost need a double pack for him, and a massive pack for effect pieces like his ice ramps. He’s kinda stuck between being a tough toy to produce and not being as relevant outside the comics. Psylocke is an odd choice, but she’s easy to do accessories with mainly having an effect piece for her psychic knife and he swords. While Nightcrawler may have been shoved to lesser comics and fewer big appearances in the comics around the late 80’s, Early 90’s, he did make a major appearance in the Pyde of the X-Men pilot and several of the old episodes of the cartoon and a much bigger role in the 97 show. I don’t want it to sound as if I personally don’t like Ice Man or anything. I grew up with him when he was more relevant and I liked his character a lot, definitely more than Jubilee, but medicom is trying to cash in on characters that are more recognizable over likeable and Jubilee has unfortunately become a household name with appearances outside the comics. That and she’s easy to produce. Just a basic figure with a yellow rain coat and some goofy effect bits
  15. It’s all fiction, these are just delusions of the Joker from The Batman
  16. Because she was in the cartoon and the comics around that time. Sure,I’d rather have other characters like Colossus or Beast or a baddie like Mr Sinister or even a lesser character like Pyro, but Jubilee is the more popular character at the moment and back in that moment. honestly, as far as good guys I’d like to see Nightcrawler more than any
  17. The regult is a fun one, lots of surprising mobility in the joints.
  18. That’s true, but nobody stopped by to check on her. Not even the adults. They know she lives on her own due to this happening
  19. I have no doubt they’ll make the stuff, but that still doesn’t make it worthy of being a toy. They’ll probably just be joining Reva in the discount bin along with Rose. I’m honestly surprised that Rose is still easily found in stores. They must’ve really gone hardcore printing that one out
