I just saw Furiosa two days ago - late to the party, I know - and thought it was fantastic! It's true that Furiosa has the most structured narrative of all the Mad Max films, which I'd describe as having the most reach, depth and currency to true storytelling. A full story arc rather than a mere...

That mouth, though. The whole lower part of the face. T'Pol had luscious lips, but this is exaggerated to a slightly cartoonish degree. The eyes are very big too, but I'll let that go. Sometimes a figure looks right, but has a stylized quality, as if it's an animated/anime version of the...

I too am in my mid-50s, but seemed to have little trouble with the Sideshow prices at that time. It was expensive, considering 1:6 scale figures were $30-65, but somehow relative and doable for an exceptionally unique purchase. Just not frequently repeatable at $150. Over a few years I did buy...

Did you all get the email about this today? It looks pretty fantastic! I remember when Sideshow released their first Nosferatu Premium Format Figure (which was actually the first PF Figure of their entire line) it was about $150. Here we are today about 20 years later with something that costs...

Looks like Rosamund Pike from some of her most lethal moments in Gone Girl. It's all in the classic high arch femme-fatale eyebrows. Hot Toys really dropped the ball on possible figures of Harley Quinn from the latest Suicide Squad film. She looked great in this film and really demanded one...

Do you mean Nanjin? He's already stated that he's fundamentally opposed to crowd-funding as a means to business creation. It may be old-school thinking, but he won't ask end-buyers to act as investors in his company. I think he will pump some portion of his company's money into these niche...

Now that we're seeing some momentum on TNG I'm looking back at what EXO-6 achieved with Voyager and using that formula to imagine how their TNG line is going to look in a year or two. I think it will be very impressive! Something of a dream project unfolding for Star Trek, particularly TNG, fans...

Aw Hell no, bro, you didn't just go there did you? The first rule of Exo-6 is to never talk about colour! You will draw the ire of the Man himself and he will tear you a new one!

I can't decide which version to get. Really tempted to go all in on this one and have the best Picard to date. The Darmok outfit isn't crucial to me, compared to the regular Essential Duty version, but it's a neat new thing to have. I nice alternate display option for Picard. However, the Darmok...

Not just the streaks, but the crisp hairline and the shiny acrylic looking paint they always use for hair. You can see it in all of their pics where the hair looks like a plastic cap with little detail or variation. It's surprisingly amateurish by today's standards of what to expect for 1:6...

Kaustic/Infinite hasn't done well with hair painting on any of their figures. I own a few, going back to Clouseau, and the hair is always the weakest area of their work. It's like Sideshow quality from 20 years ago. I don't know why they can't get to work on that aspect of quality, but it's...

Last year's ceremonial Paul was a decent figure. Aug's only release to date so we only have it to get a feel for their quality. The only real problem was the sculpt was off in a way that was almost unsettling. It was close and clear who they were trying to capture in the likeness, but then oddly...

I really wanted to get my Aug Stilsuit Paul in April/May while the Dune fever was high. March was my Dune mania month and in the brief window after I would have bought anything Dune related in that time. A high-end 1:6 figure would have nicely fed that fever - I actually backtracked and bought...

Official (re)sellers can mark up as much as they like, but they can't mark down below the retail price. That's bad competition and effectively devalues the item on the market. Manufacturers don't want that. This applies for almost all licensed retail goods, toys and figures or whatever. You see...

InArt's Harry Potter line is shaping out to be their best work. I think these are more impressive than their Joker, Gandalf, Batman, or anything they've proposed to date. Unfortunately (or fortunately for my wallet), I'm not interested enough in Potter to dive into this series. I'm looking at...

Do you mean when it went deeper into the exploited Bartertown underbelly society? Not just the tribe of storytelling children, which slowed the pace down, but the sub-culture proletariat worker classes that had to rise against their evil oppressors and their "Aunty"... haven't we seen it done to...

If they had added an extra necessary body, even a cheap one like most of these third party figures tend to have, they could have pitched this as a DX set at the same price point. The optics would be much better and it would be an easy sell for $250 as two complete figures. They must have spent...

Do we really need another Max-centric film? Sure, I'd like to see Max again, but its nostalgia and dedication to the franchise concept that leads me to that desire, more so than any reason or sensibility. What kind of story would Max have now? It was done with the first two films and that's...

It might be watchable. I don't see the premature "woke" accusations when the Bene Gesserit storyline is so significant in Dune - If you really want to make those accusations then you'd have to do so with fairness throughout the Herbert Dune legacy dating back decades. There's a lot of it there...

Back in the day, this design was the most jacked-up werewolf, pumped up on steroids and fired up with a tonne of coke. It still holds up! A testament and pinnacle of peak 80s special effects (makeup/costume/animatronic) craftsmanship. There were a lot of great 80s werewolves, but this one was...
