  1. I was underwhelmed by the trailer. I liked Lockjaw and Maximus (that actor always gets the loony roles.) The rest not as much.

    The thing that stuck in my head and what if right I'm going to dislike is that from the trailer as soon black bolt it seems gets out of the Inhuman city its put on civvie clothes and try and blend in. Out go any superhero stuff then its just bloke in suit. 

    Dunno there is just something about this at the moment that just grates on me. I will watch it when I get chance and am more then willing to say hey in the end I actually enjoyed it. I have got to like all the superhero tv stuff (not watched Legion yet) so who knows.

    You are only as old as you feel.  Most of the time, I am still a kid.  Happy birthday Zach!

    I tottally misread that as "You are only as old as the one that you feel." which made the second bit rather creepy.

    I actually did have to reread it to make sure.

    Ohh an happy birthday Zach.

  3. Vulture looks great, very impressed with the wings, Spidey is cool too.

    Not taken with the rest of the figures. Civs just look bland to me and I have to agree that while they are prob character accurate I thought the Aunt May mate was actually Mary Jane and the other one was Stark with some sort of turban on.

  4. I haven't seen this yet and will prob wait till it hits one of the UK cable/streaming providers to watch it.

    I liked six sense and kinda find unbreakable bearable Signs and the Village are good for me as well. After The Happening I avoid anything with his name attached to it. I've watched trailers  for other movies but either come away with the feeling of Meh boring or just absolute why do ppl keep giving this guy a job.

     

  5. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Really liking these was a bit meh whaen I saw manhatten as I thought a more shiney look would have been better but I realise they are prob prototypes so not that big a deal. On reading that manhatten will be a Glow In Dark figure tht puts aside an gripe I may have had.

    cant wait to see the two pack and will cross fingures for Golden age looks an the other characters if these go well.

  6. I can understand how you feel it becomes harder an harder to track down mates nowadays for me I'm  not willing to pay scalper prices. I echo the above statements as its good your not leaving.

    I too will miss The "best of" stuff as it always brings a smile to my face. Anyway  onwards and upwards and I hope all that spare cash from not buying as many Minimates doesn't weigh you down too much.

  7. The prequal A New Hope should have had originally. (The last batch of 3 dont exist for me and everytime Lucas says he originally planned for them I wish he whould get hit with a sand speeder.)

    Stand outs for me are the the droid, the character restoration CG and the battle in the last third it made the hairs on my arms stand on end.

    Minor low point Forest Whitker and his group kinda just did nothing for me. Honestly I was expecting more from that character.

    I would give it an easy 9/10 and prob in my top 3 movies of the year.

  8. I try my best to avoid pops as like minimates they  are like plastic crack. My son has a few his latest being

    Which he was able to get signed by the person who voices vegeta in the english dub version.

    Now I said I really try to avoid pops but this I cant resist.

    Why would he start that way, though? Why would he go from a complete "atheist" to a D&D player?

    I'd expect things like those to be said in the sequel (though, they're a little goofy), after he's mastered everything.

     

      Reveal hidden contents

    But he wasn't even the "Sorcerer Supreme" when the movie ended. He's still learning.

    Also, am I the only one who liked him gloveless? When he had the gloves on in the Thor scene, they didn't look very good.

    The entire rest of the costume was amazing, IMO.

     

    I would have went with Strange having to read from the books learn the spells which would have meant he had to say the key words. they then could have made it a bit of joke with Mordo or Wong actually telling him he doesn't have to actually say the incantation just master the movement.

     

  10. I actually enjoyed Luke Cage over Jessica Jones series wise.

    the split with the ppl on the ground whether to support or capture cage was one of the better parts an the nod to the classic costume was a bonus.

    My one major gripe of the series was the the swearing. Now dont get me wrong I come from a area where foul language is just day to day stuff and nobody bats an eyelid.(if I was on live chat I can F an blind in the middle of a conversation an not realise as it holds no strength where I live). But the use of the an I dont know the polictilly correct way to say it N word just made me wince every time. When one person calls the other that as it seems a greeting or even a verbal pat on the back its just bad for me. For years ppl have tried to put that part of history away so no one does it again

     

     

  11. Not a bad movie but not one of Marvels best. Mr Cucumber Batch was/is a great Stephen Strange.

    Good Points.

    The Visuals

    Cucumber Batch

    The Ancient One

    Wong

    The Cape

    After Credit Scene

     

    Not So Good Points.

    Story Line is Very Light

    The Kung Fu Spell Casting

    No By The Crimson Bands Of,  Or The Hoary Hosts Of. (was really disappointed by this one)

     

    Just have to say I put story line as a bad point its not the story its just and I accept why its really your basic origin story movie plot. I know the majority of ppl may not know Strange's back story or any character in a superhero movie. (save say Spidey, Supes an Bats.)

    Just being a comic fan An this is prob personal to me I know the basic story so when the movie gets rolling outside the visuals and humour It was a bit hard to stay 100% invested when its just basicly plodding along.

     

     

     

  12. Looks like a great wave. Different Wolverine then just a basic yellow blue is good but for me the winners are Silver Samurai and Weapon X they have been on a few lists I have seen over the years so thats great to finally get them.

    Mojo and Spiral again look fantastic and are some I never thought would be made just on new tooling kinda thing (With six arm Spidey, Spiral was always kinda possible.)

    Lady DS is a nice update to an old figure which I'm sure new collectors may not have so great for them to be able to get one.

    BD Wolverine is a nice upgrade to just a tampoed teared costume block and even though we have had hand ninja's before it fits well with the wave and as ppl have said you can never have enough ninja's.

     

     

    I may be being dense but if theis is wave 72 then whats wave 71? Movie Doc Strange is 70 so a bit confused, which isn't hard for me really :wacko:

  13. Some real nice stuff on display. Loving the animated stuff but the reall killer is those Watchman Vinmates they just rock. There was me just thinking of getting the Predator an Alien Vinmates an now these an the Beetlejuice looks good as well. Oh my aching credit card!
