Mr. Terrific has been appearing in DC animated films and series for years now, and his first live action appearance was multiple seasons of Arrow on CW. Not the biggest or most well known member of the modern JL, but he's definitely a full time member, Gunn was going for lesser knowns, which is why we also got third-string Lantern Guy. 

I saw it Saturday and enjoyed it overall, a bit bloated, maybe a few too many characters, overly ambitious for a first new-universe film, but enjoyable overall. 

Damn Hiya, once again, screw the early buyers, make the message known, NEVER buy their initial product, there will ALWAYS be a better version announced within a month or two max.

I'm seeing shots of New Empire Kong, looks okay, one of the heads is absolute ass, Hiya may be flying too close to the sun, they're announcing too much, stetching themselves too thin, and now quality seems to be dropping here and there. They need to focus on getting announced product out instead of announcing more, and more, and more, and more...

It would have to be a non-realistic sci-fi tank or else it would violate LEGO's internal rules on producing modern warfare machines.

I'd be fine with that, like the Studio Series figure, it transforms into a tank, without being a discernable, obvious, actual military vehicle. Even something like his Cybertronian tank mode from Fall of and War for Cybertron would work for me. 

Looks gorgeous, truly superior, I'm in! I hope we get a Megatron eventually, tank form alt mode obviously like the new Studio Series figure, but I'll take it!

I wrapped up episode 4, definitely pretty bad, Riri sucks, side characters are dumb. Definitely not the worst MCU D+ show, that's still absolutely Echo, but yeah it's pretty terrible.

I didn't own the previous version, and I suspect the new tab is an improvement. It was nice and secure when I transformed it, so it does its job. The box art was specially done, likewise the stand, but I prefer to let the toy speak for itself. I think this is the perfect scale to execute this design; any larger and challenges are going to arise with striking a good balance between getting strong multiple joints to support the legs and their becoming too large and ungainly. I'd still love to see Arcadia take a stab at it, what with their history of innovative solutions, but as it stands, I think everything balances out about as well as it can with the HMR. The VF-2SS is just a neat looking design and I'm really happy to finally have a nice toy.

Yeah the VF-2 is a crazy design with a lot of anime magic going on, this scale serves the design well. That said, I'm sure a company more competent then Evo Toy can make a better, bigger scaled VF-2, the Evo Toy figure wasn't bad because the VF-2 design, it was bad because the Evo Toy figure was just bad. 

The slightly longer head tab seems to be the only real difference between this and the original release, so I think I'm good and can pass on this, cool box I guess?

We haven't seen the Potter line in quite a while, I know there were proto-types for these two but I didn't think Bandai would bother making them. And yeah, in for 72 KG, I have the SCV Heisei KG, but I need a showa era KG too.

They showed that at the end of the first movie. The infected were dying because they weren't taking care of themselves, or at least that was how I took it. I do prefer the first movie as a one and done. Perfect as is.

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. 

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?

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.

Yeah, I preordered a couple of walking dead figures for my lady, since that’s one of her favorite shows and the release date went from upcoming birthday presents to Christmas presents, to Valentine’s Day gifts and I get the feeling that they might come in sometime after Christmas this year 

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. 

Hiya needs to slow their roll and start releasing stuff instead of announcing more stuff that's years out. 

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.

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.

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. 

Indy Great Circle is getting a DLC/expansion, that's about all I care about. 

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. 

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. 

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?
