Fool me once...

Looks spectacular there.

Release the doves, that's excellent news! Glad to hear he's finally headed your way. Hope everything goes smooth!

This could very well be a solid movie... but the trailerisms of today -- the single piano note at the opening, rhythmic cuts, bass wobbles, and classic rock samples/covers -- do it zero favors. Trailer houses need to be done with this formula. It's excruciatingly overplayed and makes every film...

Ah, that is a mystery. Maybe Disney/WB don't want to sour a years-long relationship with a proven manufacturer by taking a chance on someone new? Hot Toys sells well enough and they're the most well-known player in 1/6 at this point. We care about additional characters and more accurate...

Competition only benefits the consumer. It's in a company's best interest to be the only show in town.

The remaining balance was just under $3K. The total price through SC at the time of the promotion was around $3300 (MSRP being $3K). The "free shipping" meant you were locked for that built-in $300 shipping rate, versus the several hundreds more you would've paid elsewhere.

I agree, they should've left out the Offspring entirely. :lol

I love popping into DC threads. As an Alien/Predator fan, it's good to know we're not the only ones like this. :lol A testament to what lighting and angles can do. And SERS, of course. I think the scale is more believable on account of it being flatter. No thick border around the S also helps...

That was never going to happen with Superman. No rooted hair, relatively few accessories compared to other characters, and it's not like Hot Toys completely missed the shine effect on their suit. This is an improvement across the board, but apart from the headsculpt, it doesn't make the Hot Toys...

I think we would. Hot Toys saw fit to release a new Joker after InArt (and JND after them :lol). And it's not like Hot Toys nailed it with their 2.0. The torso and legs are still missing the taper they desperately need.

Some of Dane Hallett's concepts for the Offspring's final form before they decided to stick with the simpler form. The first image is the version that made it all the way to previs before getting cut, but I quite like the last two sketches. The spider vibes add interest and remind me of the...

I guess pigs do fly. And it looks like the same sculpt, which is over 10 years old at this point. Probably the only Predator they can do that with; any of the film designs would demand updates after this much time has passed. Bizarre.

Bump, updated thread with a new item.

Better treatment if you have a problem with your statue, I guess? Henceforth I'm going through Spec for preorders. They still have decent deals and seem to get their stuff sooner.

Reloaded and Revolutions were written and shot as one epic film, but split in two parts and intended to be released one month apart. The studio chose to separate them by six months, which made Revolutions feel more like a poorly structured sequel than the latter half of the second movie...

Yeah, I had to send Shane a screencap of my PayPal receipt from when I placed the NRD in July 2021. The item description at the time had "free shipping" in it.

Same.

Yeah, I wonder if that's just the pattern of the fabric underneath the vinyl/pleather layer and it looks big because of the figure's small scale.

Resolution makes it harder to see any paint or sculpt details that might be there. Lighting especially affects our perception of the sculpt, for example there are wrinkles in the prototype pics that we can't see in that video because the head-on light fills them, whereas lighting from above...
