Ali is already older than Snipes was when he starred in his last Blade movie. Wesley was 42 in Blade: Trinity - Mahershala will turn 51 in February.

I let y'all go off topic for a while, because it was Daimon Hellstrom adjacent...more or less. That and I was out of town at the time. But this isn't a Ramen Racer thread, an "Engine of Vengeance" thread, a Ghost Rider thread, or a Fin Fang Foom thread. It's time to either bring the conversation back on topic (the Hellstrom figure) or take it to PM or something.

Congrats again, Zombiesnstuff! Two wins in three months! Go get a lottery ticket, dude.

I'm generally pretty happy to be getting an updated Doctor Voodoo. I like the character but had to throw the Dormammu wave figure in a box after a couple months, because I could never keep that damn thing standing for more than 48 hours, and I could never get the cape they literally threw on it to ever sit right. I'm glad the cape on this one plugs into the back. I'm not at all happy about them eliminating the open spell-casting hands, but maybe I can swap the one from the older figure or something.

Just a couple hours before the Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary Black Series poll they ran in 2019 ended, Lobot had a strong lead over Dagobah Luke. Luke was announced as the winner after the poll closed.

Yeah, I kinda prefer it this way.

Since we know this isn't a Transformers board, lets keep this thread from becoming a Transformers discussion and focus on Marvel Legends, please.

Did you watch the review? The gloves have spots. They're just dark yellow/orange instead of black.

I've seen it in person. It is.

I wish there was a neutral (or even pissed but not yelling) head without a bandana instead. It would give the figure more versatility and probably wouldn't look as bad. I saw this thing back in San Diego and even though I did talk to Dwight and Dan, I kinda held my tongue about it. I don't know if it's helpful or unhelpful to say "It seems like every time you guys make a yelling head, it just looks ridiculous." I suppose I could have figured out a better way to phrase it, but I had other stuff I wanted to talk to them about, anyway. That yelling head reminds me a lot of The Hood. Just awful. Ah well. I might have grabbed this otherwise, but it's not like I want Mr. Ickyhands. I'll just keep waiting for them to take another shot at a Bradstreet style Punisher.

Oh, it's the same diorama stand they're using for the Deluxe Edition Batman Returns 2.0. Swap a couple of things here and there...Sure. Why not?

It's a streaming network created and owned by Amazon but separate from Amazon Prime Video. As to why it's a thing...some dumbass executive saw the Disney+ and Hulu situation and wanted that, too, I guess.

MGM+ in the US. Prime Video in the rest of the world.

I really wish MGM+ wasn't a thing. Maybe it won't be by the time this airs.

I liked Shang Chi. I thought it was good. Was it in the MCU's top ten? No. I definitely wouldn't rank it in the lower third of the movies, either. It's probably near the middle for me. With 34 movies in the MCU now, something can still be good and near the middle at the same time.

Congratulations!

The comic-based Hono studio figures from Hot Toys have all been reasonably priced for the most part. No Marvel Studios or likeness rights tax, I guess.

Yeah, Odin's a god. I can excuse the extra height more easily than I can a human character like Kingpin.

Grabbed two Venom statues yesterday morning. I really wish it was a double statue with an injured Spider-man to better represent the #316 cover, but otherwise, I couldn't pass it up.

That's a grenade launcher.

WB, under previous leadership anyway, has done exactly the same thing. Studios seem to be terrified of comic book movies about villains who actually are villains or stay villains the whole time. Also they really butchered the **** out of Johnny Cash's "When the man comes around" for that trailer. Yikes.

Congrats, Zombiesnstuff!

I don't know what happened with the whole 7PM thing, but Death's Head is available for preorder at our sponsor Big Bad Toy Store now.

Desperate...cynical...gimmicky at best. Yeah.

This looks to be a second re-release of their Age of Ultron Hulkbuster from a few years ago. It sold for about $800, and then about $1200 the second time, so I'm gonna venture a guess that it'll be at least a few hundred dollars more now. $1500 or even $1600, maybe.
