Turtle Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Wow. That was really cool, definitely better than any Punisher production to date. I like Thomas Jane, and with this kind of dedication, he really deserves a second chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Man. SDCC was the greatest this year, and I didn't even go inside! I avoided the convention hall like the plague, and had a blast! I was mostly there for the press hall, as a good friend needed some assistance. But I did take time to say Hi to Zach at one of the afterparties outside. Highlight of the con for me? Photo op with Sir Ian McKellan! (Photo was taken by Andy Serkis!) Awesome, awesome, awesome time! Martin Freeman was nice and the wife and I both got pictures taken with the new Bilbo Baggins as well. And it was nice to see the Dr Who cast again and finally meet Arthur Darvill. And Jackie Chan was very cool too. Minimates-wise, I'm stoked about the return of Star Trek, shame it's just TOS for now. TNG needs some love, it is their 25th anniversary FFS! Also a shame it's TOS TV only, since I need me some Wrath of Khan minimates! Oh well, lets hope there's more variety in the Kirk & Spock's this time, like their gangster outfits from A Piece Of The Action, or dare I hope for them in their German uniforms?? Think of the customs potential right there alone..... Too bad there's not much Hobbit or LOTR love from either DST or Sideshow. I still dream of Sideshow completing the Fellowship and Gollum in 1:6 scale. I'm okay with how most of the 50th poll turned out. I voted Songbird. I want practically everything in the polls, I hope DST realizes that. But Zemo? YES!!! And, holy crap, gimme that Alicia Masters with Thing Bust and Puppetmaster with puppets!!!! I never even dreamed we'd see Alicia! Now it should be said that nobody is too obscure for Minimates! (She may not be obscure to us but she is for the general public). I'd still love a Willie Lumpkin with more than a passing resemblance to Stan Lee! Zach, when will we see/hear more about further Trek minimates?

Hawkeye's Junk Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) If you're going to name drop like that , we gotta see the pics! I'd would love a pic with McKellan. Edited July 17, 2012 by Hawkeye's Junk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 It was great to see the guys who were at the con. Mathew, Allen, Chris, Michael, I really enjoyed meeting you and putting faces to names. I think lunch with you guys was actually my favorite thing this year. This!!!! I have to admit to being kinda nervous meeting the folks from the 'verse in real life - and not a one of them could have been nicer or friendlier. I couldn't think of a better way to top the panel than to grab a slice with the fine folks from our little enclave. It was a real treat to nerd it up with some fellow minimate enthusiasts. Thank you guys for showing a foreigner a great afternoon And that goes for Zach too, who was incredibly friendly and kind with his time whenever i loitered around the booth. The guy spent the whole four days bending over backwards to accommodate fans and promoters alike. I even saw him let a photographer shoot some of the battle beasts with the case open to give a better view. This con was a blast and i would really like to thank everyone for making it such a great experience. I am already saving up to come back in another year or two.

Lobsterman Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 You know, it totally slipped my mind while I was there, but I just realized I didn't see anything about those Tomb Raider mates. Zach, are these shelved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Oh jeeze. OH JEEZE. Don't freak out, Sam. It'll be okay. Really, it'll be okay. *huddles in corner* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach, are these shelved? No, the game may have been pushed back, though. Zach, when will we see/hear more about further Trek minimates? I think once the final order numbers are in on the Enterprise, we'll start thinking about the future. Maybe we'll have something to show at NYCC. But for now, let's put all our eggs in the Enterprise basket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 So if the Mummy samples at SDCC are any indication, looks like there'll be no tampo on top of the head for hair. :/ Can anybody verify if he has any details of bandages on his back that saw these in person?

I posted in the Trek thread I wanted more than anything to support TRU buying into Trek, but I pre-ordered 2 at BBTS because I figured pre-ordering was the best way to show support.

Heroic Slacker Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 So how many different types of Vorin were given out at SDCC this year? Blue Gold and Stealth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 So how many different types of Vorin were given out at SDCC this year? Blue Gold and Stealth? Stealth is being sent to retailers who ordered 25 BB #1 comics. Hey Zach, followup question on the Enterprise: Will there be a TRU version vs LCBS version, even if just a different figure?

WookieFodder Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 You guys don't like Punisher War Zone? I love that flick. There's no way that 10 minute short is in the same class as either of the movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 War Zone is mindless killing, not true Punishment, which is what made the Jane movie so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj87 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I too, am very surprised there are people who prefer the Punisher to War Zone, was very good indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) No TRU version. Pre-order like a fury. Am I the only one that read that as "pre-order like a furry"? Are they particularly known for their pre-ordering? My only real exposure to furries is Dean Pelton. Edited July 23, 2012 by hellpop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 War Zone wasn't mindless killing. He killed mob guys. The Jane flick was cool but when I think of the Punisher, I think Warzone. I'm kinda sick of Star Trek but I may order one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trekker 42 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Regarding the Punisher movies... I thought the Jane film was pretty good, but not fantastic, I thought War Zone was unintentionally hilarious, and I thought the short was actually REALLY damn good. War Zone is one of the WORST superhero films I've ever seen. I can honestly not believe I finished it. Jigsaw was possibly the most horribly acted supervillain ever. And yes I am including Mister Freeze and Nuclear Man. Mostly because... well... Freeze was actually pretty appropriate to how the movie went. The entire thing was just bad. Nuclear Man wasn't a performance he was a giant prop. The script gave him nothing so he used nothing. Jigsaw though... he had potential. And he FAILED utterly. I've seen high school performances of Disney villains more engaging than that. His accent was absolutely atrocious, his delivery flat, but the performance was mildly energetic. Nothing about him seemed at all... like it was one person performing this. It's almost like they had a guy there and they dubbed him with someone else who can't deliver lines. He said lines like the Punisher did (flat and uninspired but it worked for him) but had an energy and flair about him Punisher didn't. Which was a problem. If his delivery had been more like his performance I'd at least have been able to say he was an amusing villain. As it is he was just... so... uninteresting. Nobody in that movie was interesting. Hell the Punisher wasn't really but I didn't expect him to be too much (LOVE when he blew off that one guy's head though. GOD DAMN IT CASTLE!) So sure, I was laughing the entire movie. BUT I DON'T THINK I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. And that's the mark of a bad film. Entertaining. But bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Thundercats and Battle Beasts now is the perfect time to embrace your inner furry. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
