I was gonna say it just needs a head, but then realised the middle reminds me of the driller's mouth, which was Shockwave's pet in dotm, so reference!

 

For those that need a Scorpio right now but couldn’t get one pre-ordered, he’s currently available at Forbidden Planet for £140.

 

‘He gave them hell, at La Rochelle!’
Plus best use of a Bowie song in a motion picture. Am down for your series pitch. And also miss ledger.

Didn’t stan lee do an ‘if marvel had created the batman’ conic at some point?

Maid Marion and her merry men is to Robin Hood films as this clip is to the entire batman franchise.

 

Morning folks. A few thoughts on the big guy's noggin before we get to the main event (though I will say his shoulder ratchets feel pretty weak: going to have difficulty holding any figures up in them claws of his...)


"I'm sure you weren't always this... heavy."


"Let's talk about the elephant in the room!"

Fits like a glove!

 

Love it. And insanely jealous as my shipping seems to have stalled yesterday.

 

Good morning All,

Have any of you had news from IDT, Kapow or SAF regarding delays on the Seeker 2pk, Runge/Slitherfang, Centurion, Rotorstorm and Tigertrack?

Seems like UK collectors are in limbo on all this lot and US buyers seem to be drowning in the figures (at least the Seeker 2pk).

 

Had a socially distant meetup with a friend yesterday and was able to pick up doubledealer. And with the upgrade kit that turned up weeks ago, i now have my doubledealer with titan master godmaster. So he'll fit with the rest. So I'm happy.


Also rid sideburn and er wheeljack. Happy sunday everyone!

 

Ah I see what you mean and yeah, before RDJ Iron Man they mostly seemed to use awkward shots of his masked face for close ups, though in fairness to the artists they did sometimes use some creative angles and stuff to give the impression of expressions on a completely static mask which I give them major props for  
As for Batman Beyond, now you mention it I think I do remember that... it's been years since I saw it  

That said, would not surprise me at all if some anime beat both of them to the punch, seems like the sort of thing that'd happen  

Edit: I just realised while thinking about Beyond that there's actually some in universe genius to the Beyond suit having an apparently skintight mask complete with moving mouth etc:
When Bruce wore it it concealed that Batman was ageing as did the power armour aspects of the suit compensate for his failing strength, but also allowed him to continue one of the key aspects of Batman - putting the fear of god into criminals, in part through facial expressions etc.

 

Reminds me of a certain G1 Marvel comic... an annual I believe..

Bargainmax courier (Hermes) can't find my house to deliver Omega Supreme.. anyone had this issue before? They say they'll try 3 times before sending it back but I'd rather it not get to that..

 

That's the one! And he still held on to Scorpy's head til Time Wars kicked off.

 

Love De Gea and I've been defending him against everyone saying we should sell him because at his best he's so far and away the greatest shot stopper in the world that he's worth giving a chance to.

But it's been pretty much 2 seasons and he keeps making really bad mistakes.. He needs a counsellor or something because whatever happened to him at WC2018 seems to have wormed its way into his soul.

On the positive side, this is my favourite attacking lineup since Rooney-Ronaldo-Tevez of 07-08, and my favourite midfield lineup since the Carrick-Scholes days. Just need to sort out the defence and maybe get a younger version of Matic for when he runs out of legs.

I'm so torn on Shockwave.. on the one hand he feels so overpriced to me, and I've already spent too much on Transformers in the past few months (feel like I'm compensating for that time I saw someone sell all their G1 on Antique's Roadshow when I was a teenager and decided that I would eBay my entire collection, and this is the first line from Hasbro that I've really enjoyed.) On the other hand, your pictures make him look really good!

Considering nipping out to Forbidden Planet to see if they have any in stock since someone somewhere mentioned they had 20% off action figures in store. Dunno if it was just that particular store or all of them, but the impulse is strong.

To paraphrase someone else paraphrasing someone else, I'mma need some more shelves.




Also this post is probably a bit late, but I really like weaponisers. It's like lego for Transformers. I'm secretly hoping for large discounts on a bunch of them cause I'd pick up loads to see what can be made from them.

Sorry for the long post, not really used this forum before, nice to have some people to discuss it all with!

 

Domestic US market were ever thus, constantly tantalizing us global fans. IDT has listed "July" from the off for all of those (bar the Selects at least two of whom are likely Imports so they have some travel to do), and IIRC also stated Mid-July in other comments. The Waitening is on, I'm afraid. Also expect delay given Hasbro UK and the whole Lancer kerfuffle!

I'd be interested to find out exactly when a fighter jet-style HUD for power armour first made it into US comics and cartoons. Hands down Japan got there first most likely given Macross, and it's possible the ol' SDF lot may not have been the first (I'm thinking maybe Gundam?). As a culture their creators of fiction tend to have a really good intuitive grasp of practical aspects of technology.

Deffo some intentional leaning in to the "terrifying aspect" there I reckon. Nolan's Batman begins "Demon Bats" hallucination was basically a frothing mouth 'roided-up version of the Beyond look.

 

PS5 random pricing in Nielsen survey could indicate that Sony has plans to price the PlayStation 5 consoles at an irresistible point
You'd need to be mad or rich to buy a digital-only console, it's only ever a matter of time before your content is gone forever.

Increasing the RRP of games during the pandemic? Yeah, good luck with that. Won't last and it happens every time a console appears!

It'll take at least a year before the studios can truly figure out the hardware too. Sony won't like it, but the PS5 needs to be 'cheap' for all the reasons.

 

Since yall are talking bout Batman.. Nicholas Cage is definitely my favourite Batman

Apparently people who buy Cyberpunk 2077 for the PS4 will also be able to get the PS5 version for no additional cost.. which I think is a really dope

 

@Xaran Alamas Just did the magic eraser trick on my Micromasters, worked a treat  

One tiny cut off corner let me sort a bunch of them before it disintengrated, the cassettes look way better now! So do a bunch of Marvel Legends. Especially handy for the Spider folks where the leg's often more visible.

Just remember to keep it away from useful paint!

 

I was the same, i only picked him up as he was reduced, but after discovering his versatility, i probably wouldn't have minded paying full price. Check out Smyths if you can. Was £30 at my local, another user said the same at theirs, so possibly £30 at any that has him?

The boys so far;

 

Nice! Also, Magnus’s crotch is flipped.

 

Good to know, thanks!

 

I'm pretty much the same with De Gea, a handful of mistakes are forgiveable when you look at his contribution to the club post Fergie because without him they'd have sunk a lot further but it's happening too often now so maybe time to give Dean Henderson a chance.

I'll like the midfield more when Pogba's gone because he doesn't contribute nearly enough and it's pretty clear he doesn't want to be there. In 14 games Bruno Fernandes has been everything Pogba is supposed to be and more and from his interviews he doesn't appear to have his head up his own arse either, Pogba's whole demeanour is irritating, the phony swagger when he moves around the pitch and all the other posing would be tolerable if he was contributing significantly but he hasn't done that at any time since returning to the club and I think it's time to cut their losses and reduce the asking price in order to get him out the way.

On the other hand I'm excited by Mason Greenwood as he already looks more composed in front of goal than either Rashford or Martial and isn't scared to shoot with both feet. If they can manage his development and avoid him being fast tracked into the England setup where the media will destroy his confidence he really could be something special for years to come.

Whilst not being something I collect the Weaponisers look like a lot of fun as like the weapons that came with early Iron Factory figures they can be used with so many different figures in all kinds of ways.

Had a message from TFS this morning with a refund for my Magic Square Seekers as they went out of stock before they got to my order but Show Z Store still have them so I ordered from there instead.

Batman = If Keaton is playing him again I might have to make an exception to my "no DC" rule because I abandoned ship after "The Dark Knight" because the experience was akin to being at the seaside on a rainy day in winter when everything's shut.....utterly depressing.

Not sure how I feel about seeing movies in a cinema again post lockdown as I wasn't the biggest fan of them before. It's not so bad if you go at a quiet time or you're with someone but it's a bit soul destroying when I'm on my own and have nobody to talk about the movie with afterwards.
