Oh, right; the tweet I saw that I first learned about the reprints from made a direct connection between the two and made it sound like Joe had just left, so I forgot it's been like two years already. I still think Joe leaving is a major factor given as far as I'm aware he's the reason we stopped getting Marvel-DC collaborations, but it's probably not quite so direct and definitely not as immediate as I was thinking.

Medicom MAFEX Stealth Iron Man Figure
Jeddostotle7 replied to toynewman's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I was disappointed with the complete sculpt reuse on Hasbro's most recent Classic Stealth, but at least on that one they did a really good thing with the color choice and made it two V E R Y deep and metallic, nearly-black shades of blue (if you don't have it in person, trust me, it's even darker than the pictures can really portray, it looks quite good), so at least colorwise they kinda got it right imo. This MAFEX one is the same "navy and cyan" nonsense that's been going on since..... man, I can't even remember what started the specific "navy-to-royal blue and cyan" thing. -
Marvel Studios' Echo Disney+ Series Official Trailer
Jeddostotle7 replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
iunno that i'd call Netflix-style "making all episodes available to subscribers simultaneously", definitively the worst release model for a television series, an """""achievement""""" -
Years ago I used to not like this suit very much, but now I've really come to appreciate how simple and clean the color scheme is; this'd be the only movie Iron Man suit to actually have solid gold upper arms (even despite the big silver bit on the bicep) and thighs until the Mark 85, and even then it does it cleaner than the 85. Shaping and details are really neat, too; distinctive, and similarly not overcluttered.

What retailer was gonna actually order a 24" Giant-Man for $200 (MAYBE like, $170, taking economies of scale with a larger production run into account), and let it take up a significant portion of shelf real estate, when those 12-inch Marvel Legends all mostly shelfwarmed a few years back? THAT is where the unfeasibility is.

Hopefully one of the people with this Talos figure can take a picture of Black Series Director Krennic with the human Talos head on, to see if it fits and would be a good replacement for that figure's original Ben Mendolsohn head, as well as a side by side between human Talos and Krennic to see more directly how the size of the new Ben head compares with Krennic's older one

Oooh, that looks good. Hope however she releases that they also rerelease that male SHIELD army builder 2-pack as well, since that got bought up pretty quickly IIRC

Man, that Iron Monger mold actually makes for a pretty dang good Detroit Steel, huh

Disney+ Secret Invasion: New Preview Images
Jeddostotle7 replied to Outsiders's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I get why the director would think to use AI for the opening credits, for that kinda "shifting, shwoobly effect", but not only does it undercut real artists...... it also just looks really bad. Like, it does not look good at all. From start to finish, every picture that shwoobles across the screen in that intro just simply looks bad. They easily could've hired real artists to create something to a similar effect AND have it look good. -
A New Era Of Daredevil Starts In September 2023
Jeddostotle7 replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Well, it's actually not too bad compared to most recent Frank Miller works... Every time I see modern Frank Miller art I can't help but be reminded of this long Tumblr post I saw years ago by comics artist James Harvey, going into detail about how Frank's art in the past couple decades isn't even bad, but just horrendously mis-served by the colorists often doing a modern, standard, vaguely realistic-ish style; he recolored a bunch of Frank Miller covers and DKR2 interior art in a much flatter, abstract, almost graphic design-ish style that makes it look WAY better. It's a really interesting read: https://phillip-bankss.tumblr.com/post/143800556669/theory-frank-millers-recent-work-is-good-but-it -
Captain Marvel Dons A New Costume
Jeddostotle7 replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
I can kinda understand people not fond of the overall aesthetic of the costume, but the opposition to there being a jacket at all is deeply confusing. So many other superheroes, especially those with very physical fighting styles, have worn jackets, and yet this is the first time people say it's impractical? -
Man those Tobey and Andrew Spideys look nice.... articulation-wise, proportionally, sculpt, they look nearly perfect imo. Still not sure I'll get this pack though, I'll wait til the single-pack versions that IIRC were in the leaked listings way back, hoping against hope they'll have unmasked heads....

Eh, I feel like it's more "this is what clothing actually looks like on breasts" rather than "censorship". If it were """censorship""" they woulda like, made 'em smaller or something. If anything the sculpted stretching of the fabric calls attention to the breasts slightly more than the "painted-on" cleavage sculpt did.
