Why does Yelena look like Negasonic Teenage Warhead?

Kingpin and Fury will make great background nobodies for photos, so I would pick them up at $7 a piece.

Do you like Vincent D’Onofrio as the Kingpin? I like him as an actor, but I’m still on the fence with his visual presentation as Wilson. I really like the comic Legends depiction of Fisk, and the personification of that imo would be closer to old pugilists Tank Abbot (MMA), or Butterbean (Boxing).

Dr Kain · 06-22-2023, 05:28 PM

I don't really think there is realistically anyone that is going to be huge enough to play Kingpin in this day and age. Maybe back in the day when fat wrestlers like Bam Bam Bigelo existed.

BAM BAM could work. I almost led with King Kong Bundy, but I didn’t think anyone would remember him.

EDIT: But on thinking more about older wrestlers, Van Vader is the most ideal. The best movie/show version so far, from physique standpoint, was Michael Clarke Duncan, but I was so upset at the miscast opportunity to have the perfect (imo and he could act) live action Power Man. That Daredevil movie was frustrating for me on a few levels, but I liked Mike’s Fisk despite being equally disappointed by the lost opportunity.

I dunno if theres anyone who could properly play kingpin these days. Youd almost have to cgi him to do him proper. I did like donofrios kingpin as he did come across with kingpins attitude and style. And that fight between him and frank in prison has to be one of the best fight scenes since adam sandler fought bib barker.

I’m sure there is someone. There’s got to be some Vader sized people out there with at least nominal acting chops. I do think D’Onofrio has done well in approximating the temperament of Fisk and has even taken care to study the stoic and foreboding facial expressions we’ve routinely seen from the character. I thought CGI as well, but despite how well they did with the Hulk and Thanos, I’m not sure I’d be satisfied with that for Kingpin. Daredevil is one of the more grounded heroes in terms of realism – radar senses aside.

TheBlueMarvel · 06-23-2023, 11:02 AM

^ Yup, I'll be taking both of those. I like the use of what appears to be Netflix Luke Cage's legs to create some variation in body types.

I want Fury but I don't think he is gonna stand up very well because of his jacket being closed and barley any movement for the legs.

I understand the complaints and agree, to a point, but the plans I have for that figure don't require dynamic posing.

ThorOdinson123 · 06-23-2023, 01:59 PM

Here are Fury's accessories his hat is removeable

Also what if ? Gamora

TheBlueMarvel · 06-23-2023, 02:15 PM

Ungh - Retire the elevator pumps, Hasbro. Please just make the female figs taller and proportionally larger.

Yay - Sam has a hat? Works for me.

Sooooo director krennic survived and is really a skrull? Good lord those not so secret invasion figs looks like hot garbage. Easily skippable. Im might pick up a gamoranos for some customs to go on my fantasy fig shelf but thats likely it.

JokerArkham · 06-23-2023, 03:22 PM

glad fury's beanie is removeable.

ThorOdinson123 · 06-23-2023, 07:56 PM

Okay i want her too.

EvilMonkeyPope · 06-25-2023, 06:10 PM

Would Monet look better if her elbowpads & kneepads were removed from the rest of the armor & glued to her elbows & knees?
