Totally love seeing how this is coming along

I’m not saying that anyone should stay away, just going by the usual Bandai track record. It’s very rare that they cover every character or even come close to completing a team of anything they’ve done. I’d love to hear that they are doing everyone like other X-Men characters or Strider or Mega Man or Iron Man, but it’s a long shot

Marvel Studios Fantastic Four: First Steps
Big s replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Finally saw it now that it’s on D+. I liked it, but kinda suffered from not having a beginning and showing us all this cool stuff that kinda happened before this situation. Although they didn’t do it as badly as Superman. I kinda liked that one as well, but Superman jumps right into the middle of a story where everything already happened including stuff with the badguys, where this one just skips their introduction and world setting adventures, but does do better at delivering a more complete story. It’s not like totally being dumped in the middle of what’s going on, so we do get what kinda feels a bit like watching a sequel to a movie. Superman felt like the end of a series of films that you never saw the beginning to or the middle and it’s kinda the last one. less humor in Fantastic Four and feels more grounded and less goofy, but it does have its fun bits throughout and definitely more heart than Superman. I’d say it feels a bit more on track with who these characters have always been and kinda feels right even with the female Silver Surfer. While I’d prefer to have had the original, she didn’t seem out of place and was pretty cool here. I think the only thing to really complain about is the cg is a bit cheap looking and the lack of a first movie, but for what it is I had more fun with this than Superman or even Thunderbolts which did the crime of not having a good ending. And I’d sorta really like to see the rest of the mcu end and just reboot in the more interesting retro futuristic world of Fantastic Four. I’d love for the upcoming X-Men to be in this universe and not some other random one.- 135 replies

I’m just curious about the line up. Sh is definitely better by far, but Bandai is notorious for skipping characters. Although I’d still buy the Sh ones that do come out and maybe fill the gaps in with Hasbro since they’ve usually easy to find

I’d say it’s a mixture of the novel, classic movies and Del Toro’s own flair. It’s not one or the other, but mixing of ideas. It’s also not a perfect movie, but I liked it. The monster’s story is definitely the more engaging part of the movie

Just saw that new Frankenstein on Netflix last night. I think the end could have used a bit more punch to it, but overall it was an interesting version. It’s got elements from the book and classic movies and a bit of Guillermo Del Toro’s own flair in the story. Effects wise, it looks far better than the previews showed. The trailers have almost a heavy cg kinda look and the actual movie doesn’t have that cartoony sheen. Most of the film has a pretty creepy practical style with a little cg here and there, but very minimal in most of the movie It’s a movie that like a lot of Del Toro’s films, is more heart than action or scares. Not so much a scary movie, but definitely some creepy unsettling moments. Ending aside, the movie is definitely worth checking out. Not a perfect movie, but definitely a good movie in an age of movies that can be mostly let downs . Netflix also has a making of to go with it. About 45 minutes, just didn’t have time to check that out yet, but probably fun to watch after seeing the film

Your Most Recent General Toy Purchase - 2024 Edition
Big s replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
These are really popular all of a sudden. I don’t have any yet, but I’m surprised by how many different properties they have. Marvel, Dc, Transformers, Saint Saiya, Evangelion and more.- 873 replies

One for robot mode and one for fighter, pretty cool. Too bad it not just both types though, but still a cool deal

Thanks for the responses. I’m a bit more old school and love the og stuff most and really haven’t read up on stuff beyond that.

I was really wondering how they are able to continue to control new recruits due to their long absence?

To be honest, I think the BFG there kinda overshadows the overall design. Maybe if it were at least a different color or something. The base design looks very elegant though

In the art, the elbows are always covered. The only reason they ever end up at the side is when the whole arm is turned to where the elbow faces outward. Even the line art shows the arms turned outward. I’m hoping that’s the case, cause none of the toy pics or early reviews showed otherwise that I’ve seen. Not many reviews seem to exist yet unfortunately

But I haven’t heard that the joint rotates to allow the elbow armor to cover the arm. here the actual elbow joint is back front, but the armor to cover the elbow is to the side so I don’t know if that can be corrected

So here’s another of the light with the pads covering the elbows and some of a dead guy and Kamjin. All have the pad covering the elbows. They only appear at the side of the arm when the elbow is turned to the sides even the line art pics have the arms turned a bit so the elbows face outwards

If you look at how the arms are bent at the joint, they’ll still cover the elbows. It’s a bit easier to see in action. I posted these pics with the light armor a bit ago the only time the pads are to the side is when the arms are turned in that direction. I’ll see about getting some heavy armor pics later

Are the supervision army still being created or somehow controlling new recruits? Seems like the protodevlin had ditched out a while ago before being re awakened

It’s not so much the availability as the stash size. I want it, just not sure if I should pull the trigger or not. When I see pictures of it is when it gets tough

That’s a pretty cool look. I skipped it, but kinda feel some regret about that decision

Hey you guys just wondering why they keep putting elbow guards at the sides?

It won’t be too much longer till they start charging for private warehouse at hlj, not sure how much that will be

I kinda think they just screwed up, but who knows the tv ones only had two hard points on the wings until the super packs and then three. Maybe the model companies were on to something when they put one nuke on one pylon and two on the other
