I just order mines from Toywiz.com at 19.99 or less, so I ended up picking all 6. Can't wait for it better looking than ML and hopeful no reuse of body molds. good luck

I bought a ps4, destiny, infamous second son, the newest wave of MU from HTS, the goldfire/waspinator/skids wave from HTS, and I found the newest wave at walmart.

My wallet won't even look at me. Bonus checks are awesome though.

nice on the Halloween box set! I've got to get that! (although it's surprising they put H3 in the set.... worse sequel ever!)

What? Halloween III is amazing. Like its predecessor, this movie does a fantastic job acting as a sequel to the Halloween franchise by doing something completely different and new with it. Instead of being redundant and bringing Michael back, it gives us an original story with new characters and has nothing to do with the previous movie. The movie's plot is decent, although there is a serious flaw in Cochrane's plan called Time Zones. Nevertheless, the movie does a great job with its music and pacing as it really keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. I also love the scene when Challis is running away from the body guards and he is just jumping onto the ground for cover and trying to hide in the grasses and in plain sight on the street rather than trying to be a super hero every step of the way. Overall, like I said, the movie's plot is extremely flawed (hell, what about the countries that don't celebrate Halloween?), but the story telling and characters are nicely done and it tries something different that it comes out phenomenally. I give this movie a 7/10 stars and it may even be better than Halloween II.

Halloween 3 to me... Gotto admit it's not the best movie but, it brings great memories. I used to love those masks as a kid, I always wanted the pumpkin one! Lol

I never grew up on the Halloween series. I watched the movies for the first time last year. My parents didn't let me watch R rated movies until I was 14. Scream was actually my first R movie.

My Walmart also has the GoT legacy figures, they keep 'em over in the trading card area next to the reaction figures and the NECA Godzilla.

From what I've noticed, every Funko Legacy figure is molded unique. That is to say, there is no base buck being shared and covered to look different. The downside to the plan is that each figure has different levels of articulation, making some quite nice and others just good or meh.

Let's be honest almost every horror franchise checked out early in the series. A Nightmare On Elm Street, Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and just about all the rest had very good original movies but every entry after feels like a pale imitation to recreate the feel of the original. Let's not forget the awful remakes, why do they only remake good movies? They should go back and remake really old cheesy horror movies, not ones from 30 years ago that still stand as classics and quite better than all the paranormal crap coming out now.

Walgreens has GOT figures and I just saw TARGET started carrying the GOT and Magic the Gathering figures this week.

^I'll have to start checking that trading card area for those GOT figures.

Usually horror movies don't really do much for me but I admit The Conjuring spooked me out way more than I expected. Just watched Annabelle last night (spinoff of the Conjuring) and it was ok. I would not want one of those dolls in my collection.

It depends. Halloweens 1-4 and H20 are really great. Of course, nothing can ever top the original Halloween when it comes to slashers.

Yes, Nightmare only had the first one and New Nightmare that were any good. Friday' first four were good, and then the remake. Only seen a couple of the TCM movies, but only the original and remake were good, while the second one was nothing more than pure horse ****.

Also, the Exorcist 1 was great, the rest not so much.

[En Sabah Nerd]

We're getting off topic here, but I don't actually like almost any of the Friday the 13th movies. The first was alright, but they're all just more violent slashier, less actual terror versions of Halloween. Halloween was good, but all of the sequels were less than good because they made Michael into a superhuman killer, it was scarier when he was a more realistic serial killer rather than another movie monster.
Also why is Jason a full grown zombie dude? He died when he was a kid so how did he become a grown adult.

[tsweet]

Finally came.

Toyark got the case of the spams again.

I might end up grabbing a second BC as well just to keep her moc in the event that my loose one becomes lost or damaged.

I just noticed black cat and carnage on the TRU website for 22.99 if anyone was looking

[tgbobafett]

went to town today and bought a rubiks cube from TrU (w/ a $5 off coupon i printed out from an email) and the batmobile decal and Transformers playing cards from a local comic book shop; where I also saw the GI Joe metal lunchbox. The DC figures were at a local Hastings for 75 yrs of Batman!! the whole section of it was nothing but DC and Batman related toys, clothing, and dvds!!

the only thing that had me on the edge of my seat through H3 was waiting for Myers to show up. They should edit the disk release to end with Michael Myers shaking his head, dropping his knife and walking with his head down into the night! I think really though, a lot of the appeal to some, and turn off to others is the 70's Sci-Fi campiness. I'm not a big fan of part 3 (although I have bought it like three times now) but I'd pay to see a Rob Zombie remake.

AHEM...In comes the resident Friday The 13th geek.

To answer your question, Jason never died as a little boy. While in the first movie he did, when the sequels were penned, they were penned in a manner to show that he somehow survived the drowning (perhaps his body was never recovered from the lake), and actually saw his mother beheaded by Alice as his mother took her revenge for what she perceived to be, her dead son.

Jason grew up to become a full sized man, one of incredible athletic prowess (i.e. freakishly strong,) and cunning and instinct, but is still somewhat unintelligent and in need of guidance (think of the character "Lenny" from "Of Mice And Men.") He kills Alice in the beginning of the second movie, avenging his mother, and is tricked by Ginnie at the end, who finds an altar of Jason's mother with her head and sweater on it displayed on it, further confirming that Jason was indeed alive and witnessed his mother's death.

Jason survives his encounter with Ginnie in part two, and becomes more and more bold, coming out of hiding, and taking revenge on anyone who steps into the campsite, be they counselor or not. He takes an axe to the head at the end of part three, which stops him, but miraculously does not kill him, as he wakes up in the morgue of a nearby hospital in part 4 stunned and very pissed off. It is then that he (finally) meets his maker from young Tommy Jarvis at the end of part four, who tricks Jason into letting down his guard, and hacks him to death in a fit of rage with his own machete.

Friday 5 was a copycat killer, so Jason returned in part 6 as a zombie. The director of that film (Tom Mcloughlin) was a huge fan of the Universal Studios version of Frankenstein, and wanted his version of Jason to be "a monster born out of hatred and electricity." (Jason is resurrected by a pole in the chest struck by lightning, and he becomes quite passive around young children, choosing not to harm them and maybe even look after them.)

The director also attempted to make part 6 a movie that would later become the foundation for Wes Craven's scream...a movie with a good looking cast, comedy, action sequences, lots of jumps and scares and a high body count. He also wanted to make Jason an almost larger than life superhero type, not all that indifferent from Freddy, hence the "utility belt" he sports in the film and the creative means he uses it to dispatch his prey.

Way off topic I know..., but I just wanted to chime in and answer the question. Don't hate me mods!

[Trivial Psychic]

Opps..in penning my Friday the 13th post...I completely forgot to post my finds...

Finally ran into Dogpound and Fishface for the Half Shell Heroes, and also managed to find most of the new wave of DC Multiverse figures. I picked up the Two-Face...


....along with the Arkham Knight Batman, who actually turned out better than I expected. That cloth cape actually made all the difference. I also found the entire wave of new Transformers, and picked up Windblade.
