    This. He looks like Andy Whitfield/Liam McIntyre from Spartacus on Starz. Not a bad look, definitely gladiator. Let's be real here though, it's Thor's movie but we're all going for Gladiator Hulk, I've been waiting for any part of Planet Hulk to get adapted to live action for quite some time now.

    I've been playing on the WiiU version for the last several days and I can confirm the frame rate is actually pretty steady. I didn't buy the Switch because all I wanted was BOTW, I wasn't going to blow $400+ to play a single game. Honestly, based on the Digital Foundry video I watched, the WiiU version actually has a more consistent frame rate then the Switch version when docked, which is odd. Draw distance is worse, graphics aren't anywhere near as crisp or detailed, and there's zero dynamic lighting and shadows, plus the physics on enemies are more toned down, almost canned. But if you're looking to just enjoy the game without buying a new expensive Zelda box, I'd just get the WiiU version, it works for me. I'll get a Switch eventually, when there's more games, but having a last gen WiiU version made the decision easy, I'll be waiting for now.

    This is expected but still welcome news, this show is great. I have to wonder, this show has to have what, 2 seasons left max? We seem to be nearing end game content as of today's episode. We're getting really close to the events of Rogue One at this point and we're seeing more and more familiar faces. Also on a small note, didn't Leia tell Tarkin Dantooine was the location of the Rebel base in ANH? I guess that's where they're heading now and they'll eventually have to be leaving for Yavin. Also, I'm pretty sure the VA for Mon Mothma was the same actress from Revenge of the Sith and Rogue One. Either way, awesome episode, and next week is looking like a doozy.

    I mean black boots and accessories on his black under shirt and pants.

    I saw that. Pretty lame that there was zero information on when the pre-order would even go up, and limited to 400 is really dumb, this was one of the more sought after variants from what I've been reading. Oh well, while the white is classic, the DX is MY Punisher. I NEED that trench coat, and black on black always looked better to me, the white is iconic, but not very subtle.

    Went ahead and pre-ordered and paid for my Exclusive Tyrant at NY, a bit pricey, but I love this design to death, far more then the Brocken or Saturn. That said, I pre-ordered those guys too .

    The DX release comes with the same holsters they're just in brown and not white.

    Mezco Punisher "classic" color went up for pre-order today, limited to 400, only sold on Mezco's site, sold out within 2 minutes. How stupid is that? it's a cool variant, I may have considered it, but just like that it's gone. Mezco didn't even announce WHEN it would go up for pre-order, it just kind of did and anyone lucky enough to notice snagged one. http://www.mezcotoyz.com/item/76352/one-12-collective-classic-punisher/1.html

    I'm pretty sure he means the DX version, unless he's waiting on Mezco to announce some other variant that hasn't been shown off yet. The DX version is the one I have on pre-order, and I NEED it.

    Ditto on being a bit baffled by that Wolverine, where the hell did the little shorts come from? Punisher and DD look great, my DD is paid off now I'm just waiting on a payment request for my Punisher DX. It seems Punisher is getting near universal appraise, Mezco done good on him, I picture him selling out and being one of the harder to get a hold of figures. My Green Arrow is paid off too, I'm a HUGE fan of the Emerald Archer, more so then Batman or any other DC hero, so I'm very excited for him. Arsenal is on pre-order, can't have Ollie without his partner.

    Not true, I paid for frakking EMS and my piece of crap is still sitting at Prep in Progress. It's been nearly a month at that status, this is bullshit.

    This. Even at his most exaggerated, and in the samples F_M provided, he's still pretty small by comic book standards. MCU may at times attempt to be grounded in realism, but it's still at its heart a very ridiculous comic book world, complete with norse aliens, super soldier serums, and alien-made anthropomorphic animal creatures. Should he have added a bit of muscle? Eh, maybe, not really necessary in my opinion. As mentioned skill and ability doesn't always translate to actual physicality and size, I think his body shape and build are pretty perfect for the absurdly fast martial artist. At the end of the day his hook is his powers, which aren't affected by his size or build, so the body thing doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'd even argue having him smaller lends more to realism, and the overall impact of his powers. Here's this relatively tiny guy that is lightning fast, and packs a punch that you absolutely wouldn't believe. Bulking up wouldn't help him much, his physical strength will never be as important as his raw skill, and his powers work either way. He's buff and exaggerated in comics because they're comics, EVERYONE needs to be bulked up and exaggerated to some silly degree. This is a real person now, having a toned six pack of abs will suffice for me. I think the contrast between Iron Fist and Luke Cage needs to be more prevalent in live action, having him smaller will look better next to Luke Cage, who can't be absurd comic book large, just real world large.
  14. Tking22
    I'm not understanding, is everyone new to Iron Fist? He's never been large and physically intimidating like his better half Luke Cage, his fighting skills and powers make him more then formidable enough.

    That Popeye is the stuff of nightmares, holy crap that's creepy.

    Loved the first one to death, can't wait for the sequel! Gypsy 2.0 looks awesome, and yes, much more anime inspired, which I'm fine with.
  17. Tking22
    Yes, finally, after all these years, the end to Genndy's greatest work. I have to say, this looks far more violent then I expected. I remember reading this last season would be amped up a bit, but damn, it's looking dark, and I like it. Such a shame about Mako Iwamatsu, such an incredible voice, Aku, Uncle Iroh, he was even a narrator way back on Dexter's Lab, may he RIP, he will be missed. I'm sure we'll see Aku in some form, and I'll be thinking of Mako as soon as he makes his appearance.

    This. Last year we had Deadpool, maybe next year Deadpool 2? Either way I'm loving this trend of getting a spectacularly awesome and violent film right at Valentines Day.

    Had this guy delivered two-day, more then I should have paid, but I was always a fan of Gears in the original G1 cartoon. I think Badcube pretty much nailed this guy, he's not perfect, but he's about as G1 Gears as you can get. The transformation is a bit rough in the front end but the end results are great, clean bot mode with a spot on silhouette, and a perfectly chibi little random non-decript bright red and blue truck. I'm just three bots away from my goal of having the original G1 cartoon Arc crew in Masterpiece form, I'm so close!

    What really? I guess that shows what I know about Mazinger and Mazinger figures, which admittedly isn't much, I've never liked the series or designs. So is GX-70 roughly standard Chogokin height? 10-11" or so? I just figured Devilman was standard Figuarts roughly 6" scale. Is Devilman a giant Figuarts? I know his box is bigger and flashier but I didn't know he was bigger, I knew he was to scale with that particular DC Mazinger, I just though they were both about 6". Interesting. So ignore me Slave IV, I know not which I post about .
  21. Tking22
    No that looks like the Super Robot Chogokin, not Chogokin. Scales with Figuarts, roughly 6".
  22. Tking22
    Spider Tank? Oh you must mean the Tachikoma . Yes indeed, good to see them finally, it wouldn't be GIS without them.
  23. Tking22
    Man, those 1/6 kit troopers look like anorexic bobble heads, no offense to those into them.
  24. Tking22
    Eh, I can't recommend them at all. Prices continue to climb, and yet design and QC is still pretty piss poor. There are some good releases, but they are extremely few and far between. It seems most releases are either good, bad, or awful, there's no real in between. Odd joint choices, limited articulation due to sculpt, bad paint, QC issues, faces and finished products not resembling promo and marketing shots, breaks out of the box, broken wrist joints, ugly and very visible joints, did I mention the prices being absurd? They have some cool designs, but the only other toy company I've ever been more dissatisfied with would be Mafex, but they are both pretty terrible lines in my opinion either way. So no, I wouldn't recommend spending the insane asking prices on one of their figures, if something sheers off or breaks out of the box you'll be kicking yourself.

    So is Hawkeye coming out or not? I've had a prep in progress status at NY since January 26, and he still hasn't shipped or moved since then. Also, this is exciting. http://news.toyark.com/2017/02/02/tamashii-nations-announces-sh-figuarts-spider-man-homecoming-238100 Spider-Man Homecoming Figuarts! I guess they're skipping the Civil War version, which is fine, his suit is pretty much identical anyway. Though I'm getting a bit worried we may not get anything else in the Civil War line, it's looking skimp, where's my Winter Soldier and Falcon? Oh and for anyone that cares and likes throwing money away, Mafex also announced their Homecoming Spidey figure, it will be floppy, have lots of accessories, and fall apart.
