    Quesada left Marvel in 2022 and Didio was fired in 2020...

    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.

    I'm glad that the leak of this figure a few months ago saved me experiecing the disappointment now. If there's one company I would've trusted not to resort to making the Stealth Armor a lazy repaint of the Classic Armor, it would've been MAFEX:.. On top of that, they're replicating Hasbro's own latest lazy repaint of a Stealth Armor.

    I could've forgiven the inaccurate colorway if at the very least they had made the sculpt accurate. Or I could've forgiven the inaccurate sculpt if they had made the colors accurate.

    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.

    I love it!!! I think it's better than the comic version since that didn't look like a scarred dog... which is kinda like the Deadpool thing... right?

    Exactly what I was thinking. The process uglyfied Wade. It should work the same way with the dog.

    I think the comic version was a decently mangey messed-up mutt in his first appearances:

    but it got lost on subsequent appearances for some reason.

  4. 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.

    A lot of people have bought into this "projects that couldn't be made otherwise" notion and it just doesn't pan out. EOV exposed this even more. For years collectors had been screaming for Mephisto, and were told it "could never be made" (funny thing, Hasbro never said that) and yet there it was. I guess it COULD be made after all lol. They clearly don't need a campaign for this and Giant-Man is hardly unfeasible. 

    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.

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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

    Nice! Kinda funny that they got rid of the cleavage, lol. What the heck are they worried about if kids aren't even buying these?? Any how, looking forward to the set, especially for upgrading my Classic Spider Woman!

    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.
