Marvel Rivals Game Official Announcement Trailer
SpiderS replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I would give it a try for sure, at least (in theory) it's more up to my liking than overwatch and TF2. -
I care little for this armored version of Psylocke but it's undeniable this figure has a lot of effort put into it, aside from skinny arms (for armored suit) this is amazing sculpt and the head sculpt absolutely spectacular, if you compare face apps to the previous classic Psylockes it's stunning progress, this set makes you realize that despite all the flaws and weird decisions, Hasbro does move forward and can do amazing action figures. But something tells me we might not get as much effort for the future classic version.

For me that's a quite a bit of inaccuracy and there's very little paint on the figure anyway. it's like saying classic Batman or Superman figure that has no trunks is pretty much spot on, especially when in action figure collector business people are hunting down figures that have super minor changes like logos, lines and color shades.

Disney+ X-men '97 Official Trailer
SpiderS replied to toynewman's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
While this episode was good it seems like things are moving way too fast, I expected Goblin Queen story would be at least a two parter. -
It's one unique looking figure, I'm glad it got made but as I said before these arms super skinny, he's wearing jacket which should make even the super skinny arms look much thicker, they are especially thin in contrast with his substantially thick legs, either they should have buffed up arms or made the legs thinner.

I don't know what changed in my perception but now that Cap looks so much better than the initial promo, his weird promotions somehow work because they do seem to invoke a comic book style more, true power of good photography, if only they posted these pics first then the initially impression (and preorder numbers) would have been different.

Disney+ X-men '97 Official Trailer

I really don't get why this show (and what if) is in letterbox format, it's not shown in cinemas, if anything it wold make more sense in 4:3 aspect ration like the original show but not cinematic letterbox, it's viewed on modern TVs so I really don't get why they don't give us full screen aspect ratio like the most shows and cartoons today, it's not Brian De Palma or Martin Scorsese movie to warrant that aspect ratio, if anything with IMAX rising in popularity things are moving towards seeing more of a picture not less, it's probably more of Disney issue than the Show itself. -
MAFEX Spider-Man 2099 Figure Preview
SpiderS replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
While coloring and head sculpt is done exceptionally well it's obvious to me that this body is way too skinny for Spider-Man 2099, it somehow looks even skinnier than the first mafex comic Spidey, they should have based him on something closer to Mafex Nightwing body, it's been a while since the first release of that Spider-man and it's about time for Mafex to give new improved body for Spider-Men. -
New Black Panther Video Game Coming From EA
SpiderS replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Hopefully the gameplay won't disappoint like it was the case with few previous Marvel games in past, Midnight sons had great cinematic but gameplay was for the very specific even niche audience. I have a gut feeling this game is the higher end version of that kinda good but generic Cap movie game from 2011. -

This whole Rogue/Magneto situation makes me uncomfortable, poor Gambit... Never liked that in comics as well, it's weird that in show that is more for modern sensibilities they brought in this pretty problematic plot line that comes out of nowhere, Rogue has to be in her early 20s at least and Magneto in his mid to late 50s... -
This All star characters line is a really smart thinking for general audiences and is a good way to popularize the line. I think they should also do not only the all star movie line but a comic line as well, classic Spider-Man, Cap, Iron man, Thor, Wolverine, Hulk. These classics versions of most popular Marvel characters should be evergreen, cheaper, widely distributed and easily available, so in a way they act as "getaway figure" to get new fans in, who might not be too tempted to track hard to find and expensive main characters like Spidey and Hulk, and its the main character who are the foundation of any collection and only then it tempts newbie collectors to get other figures of lesser prominence.

It does feel cheap to see that old Wolverine mold when we are getting so many pinless Wolverines, I get they need to cut some costs here and there but pins on that Wolverine arms (like all other figures) are all the same length so we get horrible looking holes on Wolverines arms, they dont fit properly due to this cost cutting and simplifying measure, this is why in case of Hasbro pinless tech is such an improvement.

Walmart Winter 2024 Collector-Con Event Dates Announced
SpiderS replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
It looks to me there's sculpted lines that also have paint in them but it seems like paint didn't properly align with sculpted lines and it makes it look like there's only painted on lines. -
This looks truly great, new arms and legs make this figure so much more pleasing to look at, previous figure suffered a lot from blocky sculpt of pizza Spidey arm and legs but now it's finally well sculpted, head is also pretty well done, I just wish second head had a different hair sculpt for variety, as it is they are way too similar heads.
-
Mafex Venom looked pretty good but he was way too small, which makes good sculpt pointless unless you have the figure by itself without any other mafex figures. If this reissue was the exact same figure but 20-15% bigger than the og, it could have sold really well.

Hasbro X-men 97 Marvel Legends Series Wave 2 Figures
SpiderS replied to toynewman's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I think one thing they could have done to get Goblin Queen on next level would have been them hiding thigh cut by fully inserting leg into her thigh high boots, yes it would have been hard to do but figure would end up so much more aesthetically satisfying. -
Hasbro X-men 97 Marvel Legends Series Wave 2 Figures
SpiderS replied to toynewman's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Agreed they really messed up with Jean Grey's torso articulation. Overall sculpt is also pretty weak, I feel like 3-pack Jean for all its flaws was more interesting figure sculpt and paint wise. I wonder if I can give arms from 97 Jean to 3 pack Jean.
