So Deadpool's almost finished: Click here for the full 684x912 image.  Click here for the full 547x730 image.  Click here for the full 547x730 image. I just need to finish his scabards, paint them/the swords, glue them on, and he should be good to go after I touch him up a bit and seal the paint. The only thing I really don't like at the moment is the beanie tip molding I did in the back; I might sand that down to be more streamlined.

Jet Ready Go posted:My biggest issue was why they aren't making them out of the same plastic and interchangable parts with GI Joes. That's what they used to do back in the day with the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat licenses. Which lead to things like Ken having grenades on his shirt, or Shang Tsung having ammo clips across his chest.

I went back and did it, along with a bunch of silver detailing (buckles and such) and he looks MUCH better. My scabbard out of clay idea worked beautifully, so I'm waiting on them to dry at the moment.

New info about the Hot Toys "Policeman" Joker Turns out that calling it Policeman Joker is only a half-truth. He's got an entire complete costume for being Joker proper, with gun, cards, knife, and even the grenades-with-thumb-string. Looks like the big feature is actually the ability to move both of the eyes in either head, so you're no longer stuck with him looking in one direction. I am so glad I held off on buying the previous Jokers.

I really don't want policeman version and while no one is forcing me to buy it, a new updated head AND brand new suit is a spit in the face. And yeah, im fine with v1.0 and robber. This is just gouging though. Jumping on the popularity of the character.

If the options are (1)no figure, (2)the same figure with a new outfit, or (3)an improved figure with a new outfit, wouldn't you want choice 3, even if you don't buy it? How does it hurt you? They're jumping on the popularity of a character that people want to buy. Isn't that how a normal business does things?

I really don't want policeman version and while no one is forcing me to buy it, a new updated head AND brand new suit is a spit in the face. I could not resist preordering this even though I have v1 and v2. $150 is too good of a price to pass on, unfortunately. AFAIK Hot Toys hasn't ever done character packs or supplemental pieces. The closest thing was a weapons pack that was like a hundred bucks a few months back. The little things are the cost prohibitive factors with these products, I think; tailoring all the small clothes and the paint apps seem labor intensive. The bodies probably don't cost much at all, since those can be churned out by a factory. Why not charge people another $150 for the whole kit and kaboodle rather than dealing with selling individual parts? They admitted v1 had problems in their newsletters before BR Joker came out. And yeah, nobody's making you buy this; just because I jumped and you jumped on the first two doesn't mean we NEED this one. (I need this one). profbobo fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Apr 1, 2009 |

I'm willing to bet the price of that Joker is going to be raised to $200 ... so if you have a preorder in, it will probably be adjusted, or they will ask you if you still want it.

Apparently Gleek is a con-exclusive and won't be available when the Twins hit MattyCollector.com. This has caused some hilarious exaggerated responses from the faggotry that is online action figure forums.

Because you know EVERYONE is wanting 3 MU exclusives. A funny story, Dr. Girlfriend and I went to Target last night and she followed me into the toy isle for a change. She saw the MU figures for the first time and said "Wow those are really ugly looking and cost 8 bucks? Who would buy those?" I proceeded to laugh for a good 5 minutes.

Any word on what the DC Direct exclusive will be? I picked up the 2008 Batman and he's pretty rad other than the fact his arms don't pose well.

Sideshow just announced this puppy:http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=6513&affiliate=philipctr Legendary scale Carnage bust. I only really collect figures and some vehicles, not busts or statues(aside from the exception of the few Carnage polystone dioramas that have come out) but in this case, I'll definitely make an exception.

I am one of the idiots who preordered all the Shocker Toys "Indie Spotlight" figures. I have my reasons - I am such a frothing fanatic when it comes to The Maxx that I was willing to roll the dice for a Mr. Gone action figure sight unseen, and the two Scud figures actually looked really badass. I'm mostly getting the other ones just for the extra Isz. If I don't like the figures I'll just scrap them for future custom jobs. Anyway the point is, I ordered them months ago, Shocker Toys gave us all the runaround but I shrugged it off and kinda forgot about the whole thing, but I just got an e-mail saying they're shipping ALL of the preorders this week. So who knows, maybe they do exist. I'll let you guys know if they arrive.
