  1. Yeah the first film just works so well as a stand-alone sequels were never necessary IMO, especially considering 28 Weeks was really bad IMO so that should've been it. I definitely liked 28 Years, and they tried to really expand the world and the infected, there are explanations for how everything survived and continued, but as I said above, those explanations aren't as satisfying as one would hope. I think what was done with the infected worked overall, there's some interesting ideas and revelations that come about, things weren't explained too much either, there's still a sense of mystery behind them, overall I think the infected worked. It's really just that ending, man, that thing will really make or break the film for a lot of people, 95% of the movie worked really well, especially the beginning.
  2. Why was there never a Koto HMM Raynos kit? The entire Blitz Team got made, seemingly every other Zoid and variant too, but never a hero Zoid from a series? What happened?
  3. Is Dinklage even in the make-up? Seems another actor plays Toxie, he's pre-accident Toxie only. Kind of odd, why even bother making a big deal about Dinklage? I imagine he won't be in the movie beyond the first half hour.
  4. I still have the ThreeZero Walt and Jesse 1/6 figures, civilian clothing and the cook suits. They still look great, I'm glad I held onto them after all these years, them and Mads Hannibal.
  5. I watched this Sunday night and enjoyed it overall, I think the beginning was great, the middle was solid, and the ending was lame as all hell lol. It's been spreading online since opening weekend, the ending is divisive as hell, for good reason, it didn't work for me, I'm in the camp of it came out of left field and was tonally a complete misfire. That all said, I liked the world building, the performances were good, and the infected were scary, and several of my complaints from the post above were answered in some way or another for the most part, not in the most satisfying ways, but they tried. I read the sequel for this was shot back to back so it's definitely happening sooner rather then later, I'm in, but yeah we'll see, the ending of this one jumped the shark like an episode of Happy Days.
  6. I'm in for Cyclops, I don't own a single non-MCU stand-in-for-a-Figuarts Legends so he'll be fine for me, that effects piece is perfection. Zero chance an Iron Man isn't in the works, Bandai loves them some Figuarts Iron Man figures.
  7. Agreed. They might be stretching themselves too thin, I like their products, and they're locking down some great IPs, but they've gotta chill on announcements with all the delays, focus on getting products in hands.
  8. Hiya needs to slow their roll and start releasing stuff instead of announcing more stuff that's years out.
  9. Finally snagged a 19 at a good price, I've had the sound booster since release. MOD NOTE 1). Maximum uploads of 3 pictures of a toy even if you bought two. That means if you bought DC Batman you can post a combination of boxed and opened pics of up to three here. Anymore than three will get the post deleted. If you bought another copy of the same DC Batman toy that does not constitute as a different toy and does not earn you three new photos. The moderation team considers that spamming and will be deleted. Text link to an external photo gallery if you have more than three pictures to share. 2). Image size: Height maximum per toy will now be set to 2400pixels for 3 pictures combined. That means one high resolution picture at 2400pixels or three decent resolution picture of 800pixels each.
  10. I'm still thoroughly enjoying the series, I agree the premise isn't being explored quite as deep as it could, there's almost endless potential in an alt-universe UC timeline, but I'm still enjoying myself. That said, I love me some What If, so this series has been right up my alley for the most part.
  11. Holy mother of frakk, that is absolutely mine! I was bummed the Paul Walker Skyline was Technic, less bummed now, a brick-built Icons Cobra? Um, frakking yes please.
  12. What happened to the Dexter prequel series? Did they do one season and that's it, literally one and done? Just to bring Dexter back, again, after "dying" in the sequel series that was supposed to neatly wrap up the original series, now he's back alive and just doing it all again? Okay.
  13. Indy Great Circle is getting a DLC/expansion, that's about all I care about.
  14. Best Predator content since Prey and the first Predator IMO, this film was absolutely fantastic! I loved it, and I need a sequel, stat. I loved the ending too, animation is clearly the way to go as far as bringing legacy characters back too, and the implication of the ending makes sense considering the overall continuity in this franchise. Absolutely need a sequel, probably my favorite piece of Predator media since the first film, just phenomenal beginning to end. I'm glad this thing debuted to critical acclaim, and apparently really solid viewer numbers, the new live action film looks beyond meh, I want a sequel to this, and how it ended, I'm sure we are, and the crossover stuff is gonna be fun.
  15. I didn't know a Technic 2 Fast Skyline GTR just came out. Wish it was Icons, brick built, I don't like Technic cars, they're too fiddly. I got the Ford GT on sale and it looks okay, Technic gappy, and like I said, fiddly overall, just not as solid as brick built.
  16. Went to Target this morning to grab some coffee and they had two pallets of Switch 2 consoles, and over a half dozen Mario Kart bundles. No line, no chaos, no crowd, no mess, just sitting there ready to go at retail. That's a nice change, I'm reading scalpers are still listing, and somehow selling, consoles at $700 and MK bundles at $800, crazy. Still passed, it's just not worth it to me at launch, it looks cool, and Mario Kart Horizon looks cool, but not $500+ cool. At least it seems those that missed pre-orders, or had a pre-order cancelled, should still be able to call around and find a console at retail, maybe Nintendo actually made enough for launch?
  17. Third party to the rescue! It's a solid looking Devastator, but a nice third party kit will take it to the next level. Kind of a bummer, paid add-ons the price of a whole figure are sometimes hard to swallow, but it is what it is I guess.
  18. Holy crap this is awful, RIP, why does this series have such an odd, dark past with losing cast? Either way, definitely a hate crime, I hope the worthless SOB gets life, that's insane, the details about this situation just get worse and worse, seems he was dealing with some awful discrimination for quite a while.
  19. How is this going to work exactly? Especially in a giant open world, open ended game like Elden Ring? Most people play From games for the gameplay, the story is nearly non existent in game unless you go out of your way to lore dive. I can safely say having played every From game, I have no idea what is happening in any one of them, the story isn't presented in a traditional manner at all, I watch every cut scene, talk to every character, and still have zero idea where I am, who I am, what's happening, who the bad guy is, it's mostly just nonsense and fun gameplay.
  20. I'm waiting on Dark Ages DoomGuy, the Figma Eternal DoomGuy was absolutely awful, and basically only looked good standing in a vanilla pose. Also, if the cape isn't soft goods, it's the easiest pass ever, if they go with a big ass, heavy plastic cape they will ruin the figure period.
  21. Oh yeah I'm still expecting some tragedy, even The Losers didn't make it out completely unscathed, and they were the ones to eventually defeat IT.
  22. It was already confirmed this in the reboot movie timeline, Bill Skarsgard is reprising his roll as Pennywise, this is IT's last "awakening" before IT awakes in the eighties for the main two films. These kids could make it out, they're not from the books, and they aren't mentioned in the two reboot movies, a few of them could get away, the kids in the main films already mentioned other kids in the past learned of and survived Pennywise.
  23. Yeah this new CG movie is looking better then the newly announced live action movie, the anthology-style time period thing really has my interest.
