Sketchy Skeletor

My take is it's adults who buy the tickets so the fanbase is the first priority, we'll encourage kids and other adults to see it. Otherwise why adapt an IP at all? You only have to look at Transformer...

They're absolute scumbags tbh, they sent me a Two Bad that had been drowning for so long water gushed out of the box and the whole thing was covered in mold. I forced a refund from them but it's also ...

Oh yeah, countless orders from their site haven't been received and they don't answer the emails asking why. Then they shipped out TMNT Donny's lab and gave some people an extra set before demanding t...

Under basic consumer law they either have to replace it or refund you in full. Don't let them get away with it, state the above. They've tried that bullshit with me a few times, they challenge NECA fo...

@sci-fitsunami I'd love a figure a month but here in the UK that means £9 shipping each time and waiting weeks for delivery!

Yup, same with Origins, the 200X line went nowhere. I don't mind different versions of the leads but putting out Lyn and Kronis suggested it was going somewhere. And it would have been so easy with al...

I'm surprised at how little I like Snake Shredder, it's that weird headsculpt mostly but the heft of him is somehow strange too. Hiss I'm definitely buying though.

[/quote] What are the delineations between subverting expectations and attempting a different take on a character? [/quote] In my mind there's a vast difference. So for example subverting expectatio...

And Kobra Khan if we're actually counting him. The show didn't know or didn't care what was happening with the toys lol. I always thought Filmation Tung Lashor looked weird even by Filmation standards...

I'd agree but then we got that expensive MV Skeletor set too and that line has been running for years. And here in the UK at least the Collector sold out just about everywhere. It's worth noting that ...

Thing is Laser Bolt is relatively simplistic. And there's loads of ways to make vehicles work like packing in a figure or making a bundle of them. Nobody dreamed we'd get a Collector.

He doesn't wax!

And the last thing I need is another MOTU line to collect!

I know what you mean in general only some of the vehicles really need their gimmick, like I wouldn't care if Spydor didn't move but it's integral to Dragon Walker or even Monstroid.

That to me is pricey but each to their own!

While it's part of a crowdfunder Eternia's trams gave me a bit of hope. Plus the vintage vehicles can go for a fair bit of money now.

Really hope we do get the vehicles because I had most of the figures as a kid but very few vehicles. Plus now I've loads of spare figures crying out for transport! Said it before, if we ever get sight...

Yup, I was wondering what the true size of the PoP fanbase actually is earlier, though the last thing I would do is try to subvert expectations in the current climate. The days of the shill press faki...

My take is if 'Riverdale' is where we're headed it's for budgetary reasons, which means fans wanting fight scenes in mad locations are gonna be disappointed. And that's probably the majority. I'm remi...

The issue with these things is appealing to what the majority of the fanbase wants, not those on the fringes. If the minority angle is the aim the quality needs to be through the roof. Nobody is takin...

Yup, mine would be minimal if it wasn't for the toys!

I could believe it but it would be remarkably shortsighted if they do, both companies are sitting on warehouses of excess stock as is.

The time to release the cartoon figures was alongside the vintage and simply call the whole line Origins from the get-go instead of them now just dumping 'vintage' and whatever else stock around the g...

I can't wait for vintage Origins to be over so I can just complete the collection and not have to deal with Mattel's idiocy any longer. I used to look forward to each wave releasing, now I've got rese...

Allegedly he's an Amazon exclusive, the details supposedly coming from a Mattel bod at SDCC IIRC. I didn't watch it. Amazon can't even provide Hasbro exclusives half the time much less Mattel's atte...
