Picked this up raw. After a clean & press, hoping for a 9.4

Didn't know where else to put it. But I'm looking forward to getting the FEXT spiral staircase. Only bought one set, was sold out the other day but back in stock. Might pick up a few more to scale upwards. Gonna look great with my mafex Knightfall Batman in May!!

It's a shame mezco didn't sculpt Robin's green shoes to come to a point at the back ankle profile.

It'll be interesting to see how the vinyl holds up after moderate posing on the ASM figure.

Dark had great world building and character arcs, but the concept got very bloated in the later episodes. There are some graphics avaible if you really want to untie the knot of the timelines. It still comes to a satisfying solution IMO, unlike the recent time loop based "Bodies" on Netflix.

Just finished season 1.

So far pretty good!!

I hope a satisfying end is the same conclusion I come to.

I’m tired of the usual time and multiverse stuff, so I’ll probably skip it unless I hear it’s really great, but so far it sounds like just another of the same gimmicks 

U have a point. I just happy to have a break from Hollywood. Really enjoying a lot of foreign films and TV series.

Just getting through the first season of Dark. A German series (2017) 

Creepy music, atmospheric build. Fleshed out characters. Non spoiler context: past, present & future happens simultaneously. If U want a break from Hollywood schtick... check it out.

The wired cloak seems not strong enough. At least from this review.

D Amazing 's review of Batman Gotham By Gaslight is in.

Watch it with your eyes

I’m scared to ask how long it took to pull off this pose.

Nice work there (and with the other shots)! 

Thanks Mog

Finding the 20sec centre of balance.Lots of deleted photos....& finally a trip to the chiropractor. 

Haven't seen it yet. Apparently it's hard to eat & watch this movie.... enjoy.

I'm keeping a close eye on golden age Batman & Detective comics.

Alot of corrections in silver age... but it seems that the investor whales are moving into Golden Age as the bottoms seem to be in. .... Patience, can't FOMO

Wow!

Thanks for the Spiderman 2099 Mafex  I like the masked head of Cap. Not sure about the gritted teeth and unmasked heads.

Are they re-releasing Hush Batman...or just displaying previous releases from the Mafex line?

You are overstating the importance of ESG by a broad margin. A company like Disney can get financing regardless of their score. Some companies drink the Kool-aid though and convince themselves that metrics that show higher ESGs are tied to companies with more satisfied employees and better results are fact. There are very similar things for environmental footprint. At the end of the day, the company must show that the ESG bias leads to value for investors and being a loss generating machine in preference of ESG doesn't do that. They might be over focused on it right now, but it's not like they or other companies HAVE to be.

 

Thanks for your reply jenius! I've always enjoyed your point of view over the years  I respect our differences in opinion. 

.... I am looking forward to Napoleon. And The Last Voyage of the Demeter!!!

'Not sure how we got into Disney's social & economic choices but tread carefully.

My comment was in reference to the fact that even though an article title is a possible Gargoyles movie, it's debunked in the same article and yet we got comments like:
"It’s Disney, so I’ll keep my expectations low, really low, really really low"
"loved those cartoons as a kid! Hope they do good by it."

I'll tread carefully.

Sorry for the derailment. 

Nobody is excited about the next Disney movie, except the bots in comment sections & the bots in critic/audience scores.

Disney makes a "profit" off every movie that bombs. That's why they don't care what the audience thinks & explains why they're happy to attack the fanbase. 

It's called an ESG (Environmental Social Governance) score.

It's basically a financial bailout corporations receive if they adhere to the ESG policy. Most corporations are captured by this policy. If a corporation refuses to comply with this ESG policy they go broke by not being eligible for:

*loans

*Transacting with other ESG compliant companies.

Next time you ask yourself the question " Is this company crazy. Willingly destroying their own brand?"

No. They know exactly what they're doing. They're destroying their own brand to remain financially solvent. That's why boycotting them doesn't work.

I cancelled my pre-order for Gatchaman Ken after the reviews concerning the soft rubber "collapsing" chest. Cape doesn't sit flush with the neck. Top heavy with the capes. (Although I appreciate the cape options & think they look fantastic)

It's a shame, was looking forward to this fig for a long time.

But am surprised & interested in the Jun announcement. Hopefully SC listens to feedback.

Beat the hell out of my October prediction, huh?

It did indeed sir

There seems to be a post lockdown release onslaught/catch up with various companies I've noticed.

It was a "blink and you miss it" YouTube short with Ken.

This guy is gonna sell out quick.

He doesn't seem to have a great ROM in a kneeling pose...but I bet with that static cape that he comes out of the box with, would provide a great kneeling pose with the ab crunch!!!

Whoever marketed these recent killer poses has upped the ante finding new poses!!

I hope Joe is next 

F#@kyeah!!!

It's out in the wild.

Phantom:1

Oxygen:0

Phantom spam!!

That cloth on Dana makes the toy look cheap. I can't go near cloth ever since the Beagle Mospeada.

That's a shame, I was really looking forward to this figure. Will wait for more pics to decide if I cancel.

I predict seam tears & cloth replacement tutorials in the near future. Which I have no interest in watching or attempting myself.

I'm getting old, I don't remember anyone asking for cloth? Should've taken a survey. Know your customer base. We're the ones that have to deal with it. 

NECA Phantom & Tomytec rifle turned up today!

Hopefully I can fit this rifle in Phantom's hands 

Will post pics of Phantom shooting the breeze at some point.

That's the 3rd or 4th shot I've seen where his head looks too big for his body. Even with the cowl not flush with the body.
