I thought it was dreadful. Krang made no sense, Shredder was absolutely worthless, Megan Fox continued to show that she has no acting capabilities worth a damn, the editing was a mess, Amell was completely miscast as Jones, and worst of all, it was utterly boring.

I never watched it coz I don't care about MMPR, but I remember a LOT flack was given to it for being cheesier than the tv show, which says a lot.

Those people need to watch the original Japanese version of Super Sentai and then call it cheesy.

Quote:

Dredd was so cheesy it could have been made by Kraft. I love the movie. It's beyond Star Wars in it's cheesiness. Silly dialog, clichés EVERYWHERE...

Uh what? Dredd was not even remotely cheesy. At least, I don't consider people being shot to hell and splattered as cheesy.

Loki was a PERFECT blend of comics and a realistic look.

This I agree with.

Quote:

Glad I didn't have to suffer with Klaw in tights

I'm only okay with the way they did Klaw since that is the way he showed up originally in the comics.

I was so pissed that they didn't give Zemo his costume. I had no idea that dude was even supposed to be Zemo in Civil War because he didn't resemble the character at all. He's supposed to be wearing a purple outfit with a pinkish mask. He was just a plain ordinary boring ass joe. If I want boring ass ordinary people with super powers I'll watch Heroes.

Can't wait to see the MCU version of Dr. Doom. I know he won't look like 15th century armor.

He better otherwise it will be an even bigger failure than the Fant4stic version.

And so many villains. They've done so many Spidey and Avengers villains but it really seems like they've been neglecting X-villains, all but 5 of them have been BaFs

That's a really good list! Own wants and "needs" are as follows, minding this doesn't take into account AoA stuff as I'm going to buy all of it and prior to 6 months ago I didn't even think it would be a thing.

My Needs:
FA Storm - BIG TIME NEED

Adversary. I know this will likely never happen, but OMG it would be awesome.
Also Any Acolytes, but too darn long of a list already to list them separately.

And of course I'd still probably buy most any X-Men figures they put out, but these would be the ones I'm actively wanting. Also it's probable I'm forgetting someone(s) but I think this would square me away quite happily.

I'm feeling this wave. Black Widow, Yelena, Red Guardian, and Taskmaster are easy buys. Already preordered this wave from Dorkside. My comic guy will be getting the other 4 figures.

Same bro. I know you and I have a shared love of MCU figs. But overall this wave looks really good. Especially widow, Taskmaster and guardian(wish he had a masked head but hey I ain’t complaining) hopefully they do a wave 2 or a exclusive set. Because I want a White widow and a Civil war widow haha.

[TheBlueMarvel]

I wish I was someone's "comic guy." Lol

I don't even have an MCU guy to trade with, so looks like I'm buying a wave for 3 figs and the BAF.

HASBRO!!! (shakes fists violently and screams to the heavens)

Alright, I frequently forget that you lot across the pond play by your own rules.

Agreed. Solid wave of figures all around. I’m thinking the same about Red Guardian. Just have this feeling he will be included in some sort of 2 pack with a masked head. I NEED that masked head, lol. Other than the actual figures released without helmets or masks, I like to display my heroes with their battle attire in full effect.

If he lets me down, I will indeed keep you in mind. I’m all about helping a fellow collector. All figs deserve to have a proper home.

[larryw3158]

I'm surprised people are saying the Widow wave looks so good. The Widow and Yelena look particularly poor. It doesn't even look like Scarlett or as good as the other Widow figures.

[TheBlueMarvel]

I'm joking. Even though I want it, I don't anticipate that BAF being highly sought after and I should be able to nab it for anything from $40-$60. And that's what I expect to pay shortly after the wave retails. Given that and the fact that all three of the canon figs are going to peg warm (which means I can nab them loose for $10-$12 each, maybe less even), I'd be a fool to order the wave for four figs...

Thanks, Panther, but as I said, I was joking. I appreciate the kindness, or potential for as much. I'm a pretty resourceful eBay pro and there's little that I can't find for a reasonable price, even new releases.

Thanks for the sentiment!

Again I'll point out that before its actual release the Infinity War Black Widow looked terrible, and then when it actually came out it was fantastic. A number of recent figures using the face printing wound up looking better, in some cases substantially so, than early official pictures indicated. Now I can't guarantee that the trend will continue with this wave but there's also a lack of evidence it'll stop.

I think its dumb that rather than use the removable vest from infinity war widow for yelena they molded it for the torso. Hasbro is suffering some form of wtf-ism,

Yeah, especially since just looking at these pics out now the IW Widow's removable vest piece seems better sculpted than Yelena's entirely new torso parts. The removable vest wasn't that terribly limiting to movement either. I guess Hasbro didn't want people to just take the vest off of Yelena and make easy custom white-suit Widows because they have to release that later as a Target exclusive or something.

Probably so it can't be removed and they can re-release it later down the line painted all white.

*EDIT- POSTING AT THE SAME TIME AS EN SABAH NERD, LOL*

So any clue as to when the Age of Apocalypse BaF is going to be revealed?

Also, can we talk about Spymaster? Who's brilliant idea was that?

We already talked about him ad nauseum when he was revealed, he's a fine inclusion of a classic character that plenty of folks will buy, stop complaining.

I'm wondering if it's just going to get revealed like the BAF for the Black Widow wave, through preorder listings.

Hasbro has given us so much awesomeness and their panels at conventions have also been awesome, but it's surprising some of what has been left out of panels to be revealed through preorders - the white outfit Storm, for one major example. Maybe they just weren't in a spot quite yet to reveal certain things in time with conventions, but you'd think they'd want to maximize the bang they get in conventions. Not that they haven't done awesome with that already, it could just be more.

@Ultra Seven

That there looks to me like a perfect list. ( except Madrox, don't need no more).

Bout the Widow wave. It all looks good to me but not terribly exciting. I'm might change my mind after the film. Which I'm very much looking forward too. I love all that Russian spy stuff.
But yeah, quite nice to just find the figures whenever I'm out and about instead of pre-ordered.
For me it would have been an instant pre-order if the BAF was Ursa Major.
Id love a Darkstar to have a classic Champions display. I doubt we will see a box set of The Winter Guard, like Alpha. But I'd love a U-foes set.
Actually we need Hulk villains. Off the top of my head...
The Leader, Harpy, Ringmaster, Princess Python, Xemnu, Jackdaw, Bereet (I wish), Shaper of Worlds, Bi-beast, etc. I realise a lot of the Hulk enemies are hulk-size, so that might take a While...

Hypothetically, as far as Hulk foes go, at least a couple could reuse existing parts. Bi-Beast could maybe be on the new Hulk body, with different hands as legs. Xemnu could use some Sasquatch, maybe? Also, glad to hear I am not the only one on Earth who wants a Bereet figure. How about a new Doc Sampson on the Omega Red buck? Winter Guard boxset sounds nice, and Ursa Major could provide a better base for Xemnu. The problem with a lot of Hulk villains is the amount of unique tooling they would need. Like Harpy, or the Glob.

P.S.

From my X-Men list, you can tell a lot about my preferred reading.
