  1. This is not the Vanilla Ice Excuse. Except for a single solitary extra note at the end Ice Ice Baby is precisely the rhythm from Under Pressure. That's more than one or two notes/chords in progression. Because you are sometimes limited in your routes between notes and chords you are sometimes forced to follow two or three of the same progression before deviating. Case in point, Viva La Vida and that Steve Vai song. They both had to use the same three chords, after that the songs deviated. Steve Vai lost that case because for those particular chords you cannot deviate and therefore you also cannot claim to own it. You'd have to show that the majority of a melody or rhythm is the same, such as was the case with Vanilla Ice, in order to prove something was stolen. The case against Blurred Lines is more likely the angle here, that somehow style cannot be mimicked. And what a garbage ruling that was.
  2. A similar sounding "note" doesn't count as a copyright violation. There are only so many notes/chords one can use to make music. If the progression of notes/chords is different it doesn't matter how similar in tone they are.

    Based in her costume she’s the least fleshed out.
  4. Sounds like someone has a crush...
  5. That's not the kind of luck I'd need.
  6. If there was ever a chance I'd get married I'd still steal this idea.
  7. HLj has the VF-11 book listed now. Still no CDJapan though. https://hlj.com/variable-fighter-master-file-vf-11-thunderbolt-sof60030
  8. In the comic book versions they both have HUGE reactions to each other. Pete less so because he’s already dealt with his side for quite a few years and he ends up coming off like an over-protective brother.
  9. Reviews of the Discoprise have been good but I’m not sure I want a giant XL version. Are there any regular size Eaglemoss Enterprise models you could compare it next to or do you only do XL? I skipped on the XL C because that effer was just too big next to anything else and my shelf is pretty much done with now.
  10. Mystique is still due out February 22nd. Target Exclusice Captain Marvel in Binary form is due out in February. Walmart Exclusive Captain Marvel in Green Costume is due out in February. Rumors are the X-Force wave is only six figures and no BAF, like the vintage waves have been. Still no word on figures but it’s highly likely all are repaints with this news. IE, X-Force Wolverine, X-Force Psylock, X-Force Forge, etc... Three Avengers waves for this year: A1: Out in April, comic wave. Eight figures. Hercules, Living Laser, Nighthawk, Loki, Citizen V, Union Jack, Beta Ray Bill. BAF is still unknown. A2: First Endgame wave. Out July 1st. A3: Second Endgame wave. Out October 1st.
  11. I missed out on all available sites except for NY and they're quite a bit more expensive so I went with BBTS because I can get it with FedEx and they won't extort me on shipping like NY does. All told it's about $190 with shipping. The base cost is higher, at $179, but shipping is $11.24 for FedEx. Because it's BBTS it'll be a month later than all of the import shops.
  12. My Mezco Defenders Doctor Strange finally arrived today. He poses well with the other three of the four Marvel Legends Defenders members I have (we need a new Red She-Hulk to complete the group.)
  13. They sell completed BAF's as well so they'll have the loose figures available. Unfortunately I missed out on a completed Kingpin and Kree Sentry.
  14. Eh, it’s not news until we know what the figures are. We already knew X-Force and X-Men vintage were pretty much a guarantee. I just wonder how much of a let-down the Vintage wave will be.
  15. Dude, it’s a shout out to the end out of Infinity War when 50% of the Galaxies population disappears. They’re implying the other three turtles and Splinter all dissappeared too.
  16. I truly don't understand the issue here. I went and looked at a lot of my older figures and I'm not sure where these strange elbows are coming from. I've looked across my collection and don't see any of that. And it's not like I don't own very many, I have 24 on the shelf right now (and 22 more on pre-order!)
  17. If you look at the old comics this armor is a goofy anachronism. But between the finish and the additional little tech details it really brings out a modern feel to it that's somewhat believable somehow. It definitely rises above the original design and has actually made me a fan of the older look in the comics.
  18. Iron Man is not their best figure though he is very cool I could easily point out some failings. Popeye, 5 Ronin Wolverine and Doctor Strange (minus the crap elbows) are all amazing and better than IM. Hell, regular and black suit Spidey are pretty great too. And all of their Batman figures have been phenomenal. The Punisher figures are all great. Red Skull too. Most of the clothed figures have been fine, their only real hangup has been ankle pivot and it looks like the Dawn of Justice Tactical Suit Batman has finally fixed that issue. And the occasional odd fabric choice. A few of the original figures I have fabric issues with but they aren’t major complaints. The Hulk is one of the primary absolute screw ups.
  19. The Marvel Now IM is pretty cool too but I think the Red and Gold really does it more justice. The Black obfuscates a lot of mold detail. I’m just waiting to see what the Stealth version is like now. I hope they attempt an early 90’s War Machine now. With improved leg drop mechanism. That’s one of my few gripes about this IM. Also Mezco’s, or maybe it’s BBTS, distributer blows. I’m weeks later than everyone else getting these figures. I had time to cancel the POS Gladiator Hulk but I’m seeing reviews for both the Marvel Now Doctor Strange and Ragnarock Thor figures and there’s no sign of movement from BBTS on either of those for me yet.

    Looks good but I can't understand why you can't stand it. I think it looks great on it's own sans armor. Of course I have mine loaded up with eight reaction missiles.
