if these figs are tweeked well, then it will be a great line. movie beast is better at least than x-23 i guess. i dont know, really a tough call for me. but emma frost could have potential if they fix her up. and the rest seem great and i really want that annihulus and like him so much better than the one that was planned for the movie line.

 

[Cyclops]

well.. for me... Beast was the best thing about X3... I will gladly pick him up :/

Me too, but he could not save the film from being utter garbage. I would gladly sacrifice him to the flames of the barbecue.

 

[SsM]

well.. That movie was garbage... but beast was a beast :P PUN INTENDED

 

[Cyclops]

Yeah. And I've committed to having no reminders of the horrors that were X-Men: The Last Stand in my possession.

I refused to see the movie. I still haven't seen it. I know some people really liked it, but all I saw in the previews and all that I read about the movie said to me "A VERY OBVIOUSLY BAD SEQUEL THAT RUINS A GREAT FRANCHISE". Almost every bad thing that could be done in a sequel was done from what I could tell. Such as...

1. Introducing a large number of new characters with little development
2. Giving those new characters very few lines
3. Killing off someone from the previous movie(s) in the first 15 minutes
4. Killing off important characters from the previous movie(s)
5. Making the movie heavily reliant on special effects
6. Killing off characters that were just recently introduced in that movie
7. Not regaining important characters from previous movies with little or no explanation
8. Changing directors
9. Drastically changing an important character in a crappy way (losing powers in the case of X3)

But, X3 is a logical choice. Jesse Falcon said character choice is based on usually having at least one popular character, one character who is doing something in recent comics or movies, some collector-craved characters...Planet Hulk is recent, X3 Beast is in a movie, Emma is big right now in X-Men comics, Ultimate Iron Man is recent. Banshee and Hercules are those more vague characters that collectors want. Ok, so I can't explain why Banshee is in there. But X3 still sucks.

 

[Cyclops]

Good for you. I would have refused to see it, but I had siblings who really wanted to go, and I thought "Well, it's best to just make up my own mind."

I wish I hadn't. I really really do.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

i saw it 3 times.. i loved it. For the first time i felt like i was watching the comics come to life... least the more recent ones. But i look at X2 and X3 as one movie.. because you need both to complete eachother... I felt like X3 was just a simple epilogue of X2...

can someone give me a link to these pics please, i really want to see them

 

[Pauluz]

Post some damn pics!

 

[Cyclops]

They posted some damn links to some damn pics, click on them yourself!

 

[Pauluz]

No, they posted a link to those CRAP Hulk and Banshee figs, where's the rest?
Why do you always have to be such an ass Cyclops, no wonder you're not a mod anymore.

 

[Cyclops]

I merely reflect the assiness of others. What I said is no more assy than "Post some damn pics!"

Aint that there the dad gum troof!

 

[Balthus Dire]

The head sculpts on these look horrible they look like Jazzwares figures.

 

[Roughneck]

well damn. I see you alll have already seen them. I almost **** myself and went off the road when I saw the new MLs in Toyfare.

I was very pleased to see Herc and Banshee and Emma, but they had better fix up some of these heads. Banshee cannot be released like that. Planet Hulk and Ultiomater Iron man will just be bought to toss asside for possible future customs, as I need the Annihilus pieces. Movie Beast can go with all my opther Movie figs.....I am tickled pink that this line is continuing. Annihiluis looks ****ing awesome....Whoo.

I am more pumped for ML16 than I am for 14 or 15....I know 14 and 15 will have better quality and characters but I just really want to see what Hasbro can do.

January 2007 is gonna be fun.

December is gonna have some light of it's own with the Hasbro Ghost Rider line hitting shelves. You all know how pumped I was about the TB anounced GR line...........I don't know (nor does Toy Fare say) what Hasbro is gonna do...Though they will hit us with a Titanium figure......It's been hard resisting the Titanium Bossk and Boba Fett.....when A Titanium Colossus hits I know I am gonna Crumble.........

Spider-man Origins: Signature Series....>This is the ones I am not looking forward to....I will just pass them on the shelves. Basically a new run at Famous Covers.....Though if they hit the right characters I will bust open all my old MOC Famous Covers and have a nice collection. But for now and 8 inch cloth costume line of Spidey and his villains wont do it for me. (Spidey, Doc Ock, Green Goblin and a 4th Mysterious figure round out wave 1) Which will be out in November....I assume 2006

Itsy Bitsy Spider-man: I may get one....It's gonna be like Tickle me Elmo....A little pluish Spiderman that sings and dances to It'sy Bitsy Spider....How Cute. And Apparently the Spider-man themse song too. Slated also for November.

Superhero Squad: I will pick up some of these. I had some trouble resisting the Galctic Heroes stuff from Hasbro and Star Wars (You knwo the cute little bounty hinters and stuff in cute little forms with smiles) Well Marvel is getting that treatment now. Angel and Colossus is the only official 2 pack mentioned (Which is a guarenteed buy for myself) and Sabertooth is mentioned (Another Guarenteed buy)...These are just gonna be a nice little thing for every once and a wqhile during slow fig times. Also in January.

And FInally also in January of 2007 the Spider-man Origins line......Demogoblin is pictured, and he appears to be the same Hobgoblin repaint that TB ended up not releasing.....so there may be hope for Spot and the Chameleon yet. I have to read the write up now...be right back........Huh? So apparently we are getting a mix of old and new figures of different Spider-man costumes that he has worn (ie Real Comic Accurate Costumes) and a MIx of re-issues and repaints of villains....Anbd before that we will see Movie Battle packs of Spidey/GG, Spidey/Ock and Comic Spidey/Venom..,...Now the villain Waves say Some reissies and repaints...Meaning Maybe some new ones too.


I am officially pumped for what hasbro is cgonna do, the Lower Prices...the easier to find quantities.......

And as of yet....no mention of Action Features.

what is this series based on exactly?

 

[Roughneck]

It`s based on Marvel Characters....just done in a little kiddie Cutie Style. It`s kinda Hasbro`s answer to Spider-man and Frineds.

 

[Ben Urich]

Who has scans for me?

 

[Cyclops]

The head sculpts on these look horrible they look like Jazzwares figures.

These are very early prototypes. These things, I think, are more or less mock-ups just to show us what we can expect and are far from the finished product.

 

[SpiderHulkThing]

hercules's face as of now reminds me of waking up with the king, the burger king king.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

haha ya it makes me giggle

 

[Roughneck]

How is this not the Hottest discusion in here?

 

[Balthus Dire]

Because ML is slowly dying out.

 

[SpiderHulkThing]

until they get a little tweeked, they're a soft subject. I'm looking forward to them, I'm just looking forward to series 14 and 15 more as of now.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

if its any concelation.. the bodies on the new figs look great... aside from emma who had a breast reduction... lol, I mean Hercules clearly has an amazing sculpt and is definately the most finished... if only they fix his grin, he'd be perfect. I definately think out of all of ML16 he was the one definately planned by toybiz, before the move
