Good to know! I do my own customs but some stuff is above my skill level. This would be an example of that haha.

Just about to say that. I have 2 people who do Customs for me. 1. John Harmon @ Mint Condition Customs. and 2. Lee Lopez @ Leegit Customs who is making this Sunspot for me.

The Black Panther strikes me the same way; visually, it looks bad due to the overused CGI in the trailers. Judging from the action figures, I just do not see the movie selling.

totally wrong.

Dora milaje but the community calls them 'Dora's' for short.

Speaking of customs, my wife is in the market to get a Teen Titans Jinx custom head for the Nico Minoru figure (in the ML aesthetic, of course). Anyone have any recommendations for the best person/people to contact for that?

like...HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE THAT THE PRODUCTION OF THAT MANY EYES COULD HAVE BEEN BAD.....SERIOUSLY....HOW?!?!

interesting...she's on sale at my local GameStop...
i may give that a try and just bring it back if it's a dub..

I just do not see the movie selling.

We shall revisit your post next month.
So your saying you don't think the movie will do well based off of:
1. what the action figures are/look like
and
2. your opinion of the overused CGI..

or is there more to what gives you that feeling??

Am I alone on how bad CGI is looking in current movies? It really takes you out of the moment. I find a lot of movies look flat due to the green/blue screen overuse. It's only so much you can fool the human eye before it adjusts.

I found the GOTG 2 movie bad, besides the story, everything looked really flat and then I saw Valerian and the same thing happened; everything looked flat and unrealistic and the actors looked as if they were never part of the environment.

The Black Panther strikes me the same way; visually, it looks bad due to the overused CGI in the trailers. It will be interesting to see the box office. Judging from the action figures, I just do not see the movie selling.

I respect your opinion, and you're entitled to it, however I must point out that advance ticket sales on this film are exceeding expectations. It is on pace to do better than arguably Marvel Studios best film Captain America: Civil War, and looking to beat Deadpool for the highest opening film in the month of February. Marvel Studios has reached out to not only their dedicated fans, but the casual fans, as well as the Black Community. Everywhere I turn people are talking about this movie, and that's not by coincidence.

So for funsies, I decided to come up with two "Best of MCU" waves. I excluded Netflix characters because the popular ones are probably coming in the next Netflix wave (if we get one) anyway.


MCU Iron Monger BAF wave:

Mark 3 Iron-Man (on a new mold with Tony Stark head and alternate hands)
Quicksilver
Lady Sif
Quake
Yellowjacket
Ronan

MCU Abomination BAF wave:

WW2 Captain America (new mold, alternate Steve Rogers head)
Nick Fury (updated mold for better trenchcoat buck)
Heimdall
Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider
Red Skull
Crossbones

Yeah I agree with this 100% it’s definitely going to do well. I don’t expect Avengers type numbers but it’s definitely going to make more then Thor, Spiderman and Captain America’s first solo films. I don’t know yet if it will be as good as Civil War or winter soldier that’d hard to top. But all I know is the more Mcu movies and figures the better

I’d take All of those! Lady Sif and yellow jacket are by far my biggest Mcu fig Wants. Aren’t they having like a 10th Anniversary Wave for the Mcu?

And @DTL I know misty was a huge let down hopefully they at least get to s Netflix one in the next wave.

[SymbiSpidey]

My only wish is that they put a damn mask on Danny Rand's stupid face.


They had the perfect opportunity during Defenders where Matt was looking more like Iron Fist than Iron Fist. It seems they at least gave him a green tracksuit at the end of the series, so we're getting there.

I've heard a couple of rumors that Hasbro could be doing a MCU 10th Anniversary line. There are SO many figures I would want, but if I had to narrow down my list, I would put money on Yellowjacket, Crossbones, and Ronan as the locks.

As far as the Netflix figures go, I see Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Kingpin, and Misty Knight or Colleen Wig being the possible figures in the next wave.

It's also the most devisive film in the franchise...critics love it, but fans can't figure out if it is the best or the worst film in the series. (I wasn't a fan...)

Bright was supposed to be one of the worst films of the year, and yet it is Netflix's biggest and best reviewed hit to date (among viewers...which by the way...I enjoyed it a bunch...)

Devil's advocate comment I know...but just saying...there is no guarantee a film will fail or succeed in today's market. I have no doubt BP will succeed opening weekend, but if word of mouth gets out that it's bad (or boring...or pointless because of Infinity War or whatever people will find to complain about) it could very easily slip into Thor 2 futility. I haven't been wowed by anything in the trailers for it personally, but that comes from a lack of interest in the character and a general fatigue (and disappointment) in superhero films as of late.

As for the point about CG...it looked really bad in some of the BP trailers, and I think that the issues in quality more has to do with the advance in technology for viewing things at home and in theaters than it does with the artists and work in general. We now have access to 4k and higher resolutions in both, and while it's great to see things in such clarity, it also is so crisp and clear that it pulls back the curtain on CGI to show the little man running the show a bit more. I won't watch certain things on my 4k TV at home, simply because the clarity ruins the experience for me. Despite their age, movies like the Matrix, Titanic and Jurassic Park still look fantastic and magical in 1080...on 4k...they look like Discovery channel cartoons.
