This should have been a home run, instead I still think it's an overall improvement until in-hand inspection confirms or denies this premise. At least it's not a Toby Spider-Man situation. *That* was a disappointment.

The suit texture is *probably* the same as DX09, which is to say overdone but I think we're seeing digital over-sharpening of these photos, typical these days.

Gwyneth Paltrow herself barely knows who Pepper Potts is ... :lol

Amazing figure. Not for the first time do I notice that the damage -- given the geometry of the helmet -- is highly unlikely to have resulted from a lightsaber blow. Bit o' movie magic there. :unsure:

Err ... never mind. I was hallucinating.

He has returned! We seen 'im and everything!

I guess it's just LARPing for him at this point.

Had to see for myself. Just ordered the regular from TBA.

Could it be we've been staring at the DX09 for 12 years and it's more Keaton than Keaton at this point?

The DX09 remains one of HTs' best, but the paint is very outdated at this point.

Weird, are we looking at the same photos? Looks like Keaton in most of them to me. The paint and lighting is sharper and harsher on the sculpt but it doesn't look off to me. :unsure: Guess I need to see in-hand like everyone else.

In that universe, a guy like that is at a serious disadvantage already, and given he wasn't acknowledged in any special way, maybe it was a combo of nothing-to-lose and Martin's tendency to sporadically inject physically disadvantaged characters with positive traits (intellect, bravery etc.) I...

He looks like a '70s era Batman villain here.

He's easy to make fun of but he's got natural screen charisma and talent, no doubt. Thing is, I find him highly entertaining but he still screams "Look I'm RDJ" in every role I see ... the most subtlety I've seen was his Oppenheimer appearance and even that was at least a parenthetical "pssst --...

More like prodigal grandpa at this point but who's keeping score, right?

Based on some ASOIAF Wiki stuff, it is a blood thing but goes back to Valyria, so it's not specifically *Targaryen* as such. Martin's history and lineage stuff is super convoluted so even the source material is a little murky, seemingly by design.

So I did some quick Internet-ing. Blood is part of it, temperament likely matters, and lineage being close to former riders is also a likely factor. Vermithor and Silverwing are both around 100 years old and have had previous riders, like Sea Smoke. Vaghar is apparently around 180. I only...

Could be. LOL ... Sea Smoke set him up. Acted submissive before err ... smoking him. I haven't read the books, but it appears to be a mix of both? What's-her-name who's just wandered into the wild to tempt death looking for a large, wild dragon ... had tried before and nearly been killed or...

RDJ playing Kevin Spacey blending Lex Luthor and Frank Underwood as Dr. Doom. Dr. Doom with a South Carolina accent!

So I'm picturing RDJ playing Kevin Spacey playing Dr. Doom.
