Those are some interesting takes on comics vs movie figures. My thinking is comics have rebooted so often, there are so many different continuities just within the comics themselves, and the movies are just another continuity. Same with animation, same with video games, etc. As for the live...

You're right about the time. If Todd had renewed for five more years I'd say the sky's the limit but now he's on the clock. I just can't see Vicki happening. Todd is just now giving us mainstream DC female characters fans have been asking for this whole time, and there's still notable...

Agreed on all of that, but those Schumacher films were so far removed in terms of tone from the Burton movies that it almost doesn't matter. If Billie Dee was in the exact same Batman Forever movie that we got, would it have made it any better? Maybe? I guess? But that film had a lot of...

I'll take any of those I can get, figures from those four movies are my main wants from Todd, but I think a lot of those are super long shots. In a prefect world I'm hoping for: Nicholson Joker (I'm also not ruling him out), Bob, and Bane. I would probably take any alt costumes we can get...

I might just get a Jokerized version, paint the head, and slap it on Carrie Kelly.

I'm not ruling out panther suit. I give it even money of getting to us before the end. Because Batman.

My sarcastic response is people are so used to being screwed over by either Todd or Hasbro or Mattel that apathy has set in and we're numb to it. You can only expend so much energy yelling into the void of the internet about big name manufacturers f-ing around with distribution games. It's...

You are and everyone likes options, they're fun. I feel like it's option overload and much of it stands a good chance of never being used. Those figures norm mentioned, Dr Strange, Black Widow, a few choice others, those are sweet spot figures, they are great. Three heads, a couple pairs of...

I agree and packing in more than what those examples came with almost gets to be too much. You're going to display your Maximum figure with a small fraction of what the figure can actually hold, then the majority of what they came with (were allegedly all the money went) will go in a bin and...

You know which McFarlane figure I regret selling? Dick Grayson Robin. Bad move. That after market price.......

I think the most memorable one was at the very end when they were selling Doomsday wrapped up in his green suit. The fans wanted standard Doomsday but the one guy who was running that s-show said straight-faced that they were not doing standard Doomsday and the fans better just buy wrapped up...

I'm trying to piece together a Toybiz Fantastic Four box set. I could use the following: Reed Richards and his white lab coat Franklin Richards HERBIE three of the FF bases with a 4 on it Dr. Doom's base

I'm good on Strong Guy with the BAF but that's a nice looking redeco for him.

I think this whole sub line is a test of what they can push the price to. I personally haven't looked at any Maximum release and said to myself, "That's worth the asking price". They got me on Spider-Man using one of the very few tricks that would work on me, the McFarlane nostalgia bait...

I don't think there's much chance Hasbro would go with the stereotypical look like the one above, but if they DID I'd say that's an easy reuse of the Red Skull buck with a couple of overlays. But they wouldn't risk the backlash in the name of a quick and easy money grab.........RIGHT????

Years ago before we had children my wife and I were still able to dress up and go to bars for Halloween. One year a bunch of us did a Batman theme. My Two-Face costume got a lot of complements. But my brother's GF at the time went as White Rabbit. We already had a Poison Ivy and a Catwoman...

I still own the vast majority of my TB MLs. Some I've sold. Some I've sold off and rebought. I've never owned that Mandarin. I can personally overlook a lot of the TB flaws that send other collectors calling for their Hasbros. But I can't get past that robe that makes the figure a brick of...

Well there's a link on TNI but they aren't showing up on amazon at the moment. https://toynewsi.com/488-59494

I honestly don't know what offensive Mandarin looks like. I have very little attachment to the character. I recall him with a green face in the IM cartoon. I know his Toybiz ML had a big rubber robe that told articulation to f-off and die. I've read very little comics with him in it. What's...

Preorders are popping up on amazon for Nacelle wave 1. I just can't believe the price point on these (in a good way). The other shoe is going to drop eventually, right? Right?

LOL, I assume Logan went through basic training? I've never held this exact style weapon and yet I am POSITIVE he's doing something wrong.

I've had Year One Batman for a little bit. Both he and Gordon are figures that I wasn't actively hunting down but miraculously stumbled across at my local less-than-stellar Walmart, I thought I shouldn't pass on either. Anyway, I was playing around with YO Batman yesterday for the first time...

Yeah, see, I'm already rethinking passing on the new waves because I just saw a pic of season 2 Jubilee in hand and her head looks really, really good. My only comfort is to tell myself that X-Men are the only corner of the Marvel universe that I'm this big a whore for. I can walk away from...

If they want to go that rout (they will eventually) no mulligans are needed. They are six reissues and some new packaging away from making a full blown X-Men arcade game wave. It's going to happen.

No. I'm not sure of anything regarding this line. I'm not sure I'm keeping the wave 1 and 2 figures. I have all these looks in comic form. That was a different time. Now they need to sell (and resell) $25+ action figures to adults which demand new* costumes every single time. ("New"...
