    Agreed. You could always try "Vinyl records? How about you record deez nuts slappin' your face?" or "You wanna spin some records? I got something else you can spin on.", though that doesn't have quite the same punch to it. It's a bit of a thinker, a bit of a mouthful. Kinda like deez nuts.

    Really is a shame. I remember all the Endgame stuff selling pretty darn well in my neck of the woods, even those rather boring, heavily re-used quantum suits. Even though it came out after the movie, I don't see us getting figures like Iron Patriot, Heimdall, or Valkyrie nowadays. Maybe IP...

    Full honesty, I don't really know much about Lobo, and I'm not that big a fan of Momoa. He's charming enough at times- I wouldn't say he's unlikable, per se- he just always does the same thing. I've always thought he was pretty badly miscast as Aquaman- just because the dude is Hawaiian doesn't...

    Part of me is expecting them to hold this cut of the movie hostage for another couple years past the theatrical release. Or, at the very least, relegate it to Disney+, which, by that time, will probably cost like $50 for a base subscription. Why give it to the people when you can keep charging...

    But the question is how much we'll be getting for Doomsday. There could be a glut of stuff- rumors have speculated a wave plus a couple 2 packs. IF that comes to fruition, I feel like it might be Hasbro taking one last chance on going all out for MCU stuff. If it works, they may invest a little...

    What's the best price on a lot of deez nuts?

    A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one! Especially hearing it's helmed by the director of the Mass Effect trilogy, I'm in. I do hope the combat is a little more quick and fluid than the KOTOR games, though; much as I love those, I do prefer something a little more streamlined. I can't...

    NECA - General Thread

    Still think it's a cool idea for a figure, I just don't know how effective it is at being, you know, a figure. It's clearly meant to work best in the box, though it luckily doesn't look too bad loose. Maybe they're testing the waters to gauge interest in more Thing figures? Or, like others said...

    Yeah, Ivy is a character I like the idea/gimmick of, but when put to paper, it kinda fizzles out quick. There's only so much you can really do with plants and toxins and such, especially when you have other toxin-based villains. I do think she works best, ironically, as the more grounded balance...

    And? Did you just go with it? Finally someone else said it. I'm not even a fan of the Super characters, and even I know she's got Streaky. I know Gunn is a dog person, but come on- stop giving cats a bad rap. We better see ol' Streaky eventually, and I'll be mad if we get through all the...

    I was really tempted by Andor Krennic the other day. $12.49 is a good price, all things considered. Yet something in me kept telling me not to get him unless he went down below $10. Maybe it's because they had SM-33, who's a bigger figure with more unique parts, for less than him. Ahh, how our...

    My biggest gripe with stuntcasting, at least currently, is the inclination to cast big name actors and stiff well-known voice actors. Don't get me wrong- bigger name stars often are great in the role- lots of Pixar movies, for example. But you can't tell me that in ALL of Hollywood- known and...

    Fair, and I don't at all disagree- talent first, always. My point was mostly that, instead of picking from the same pool of A, B, C, etc. list actors, why not go for the other folks you wouldn't normally think of for the role. I only mentioned looks because there are those out there that would...

    Honestly, I think there just needs to be more love for stand-ins and/or stunt doubles taking over the roles. Granted, not all of them are great actors, but I think the greatest evidence for this would be Doug Jones. He started out as just the stuntman or physical actor for larger stars to fill...

    Ugh. Plo looks so cool. Don't get me wrong- I'm not wild about the pins, I just love the CW look for him.

    I think I'd much rather they de-age someone with makeup or CGI than put another actor's face onto a character. Within reason, of course- I don't want them trotting out a 65 year old trying to play a 35 year old. Plenty of de-aging, even recently, has been pretty rough (here's looking at you...

    I feel like the whole "deepfake an actor's face onto another actor's body" is almost a whole other discussion, but yeah- there's very few roles that I can think of, if any, that are so tied to an actor that they can only be played by that person. Recasts might be missing a certain flair that...

    Looks fun! Honestly, whatever they can do to get me interested in the "Super" characters, since I often find them the least interesting.

    I suppose if we miss them on Pulse, we can always try to grab them on the Disney Store, though that's a whole other kerfuffle, and the shipping is usually pricey and slow in my experience. I don't know why they can't just make them fan channel releases- not like they wouldn't sell. Not sure at...

    Yeah, I don't necessarily think not connecting was the reason they pivoted. I wouldn't say anyone really "connected" with Thanos in his first couple post-credits scenes. But they had a story they were building toward, a story they had faith in, and stuck with it, knowing that the audience would...

    Not the best livestream, but not the worst. Rounding out Scar squadron after all these years will be nice, though I definitely want them to go back and redo the 2 we've gotten on the new trooper body. Those previous 2 are gonna feel reeeaally limited now. Really excited for Plo; he's my...

    45 pound dumbells? Don't you mean my sister's kids?! The only time I really feel bad is when I order, like, a super heavy shelf or something, or if I'll place a grocery delivery and order heavy cat litter or cat food, since I live on the 3rd floor of my building and there's no elevator. One...

    My enthusiasm for Doomsday is oddly middling at the moment. I'm sure that'll change once I see a trailer, but right now it still feels like sort of an idea more than an actual movie. Like I've said before, it felt like the prior Avengers movies all were the climax/payoff to a story that had been...

    Agreed with all your points, Ace. It takes a while for any of us to realize what we like out of a movie, especially the big blockbusters. Having been born in the 90's, I tend to like almost anything from that time, regardless of how "radical and cool and edgy" it was trying to be for the time...
