Amoktime releasing their own horror figures

[Dr.Mirakle32]

Army of Darkness > Sommers' The Mummy. I agree that AoD was more comedy/horror, but it still had some horror aspects in it whereas Sommers' Mummy was a watered down adventure/romance for toddlers. It has more in common with Romancing the Stone than the film it was pillaged from.

There's no arguing Army of Darkness > Sommers' The Mummy. My point is that AOD is almost full on spoof/adventure comedy with the only horror elements being holdovers from the first two ED films. The first Mummy on the other hand actually had scenes that were supposed to be suspenseful and creepy. I just think it gets a bad rap from the awful MUMMY RETURNS, which expanded the flaws from the first film and amplified them to a terrible degree.

And sure, if you look at THE MUMMY as a remake of the 1932 film, it's a complete failure. But when you look at it as a remake (in plot and tone) of THE MUMMY'S HAND (1940) you will realize how faithful it really is. TMH is same type of Saturday morning adventure/comedy with horror, the 1999 film is. It isn't the artistic classic the 1932 film was, but then neither was the 1999 version. Just carefree entertainment.

Hourly wages and shipping really have little to do with it. Unfortunately the U.S.'s lame sue happy mentality and the gag-inspiring cost of insurance will ensure China's longevity for many years to come.

DAMN RIGHT.

Quite simply . . . the US have lost the determination and will to actually remain . . . want . . . to be competitive in manufacturing for a variety of reasons. The US can only blame itself. Enough said.

Excuse me while I enjoy my cheap Chinese made goods while hoping it's basically lead free and will not necessarily kill me unlike made in the USA products that are overpriced.

No--its in limbo in the "to be determined" release date list. In other words, it'll probably get cancelled because there arent enough people pre-ordering it.

 

[galactiboy]

Its a catch-22... I don't want to pre-order something that might never get made, but if I don't pre-order then it is less likely to get made

Not the best business model

But at the end of the day I'm happy to have Gort and Klaatu in my collection

Amish or vampire?

That was a good one. Maybe he's just afraid camera will steal his soul like certain aboriginee tribes?. I always thought it was because he was too busy buying so many goodies that he couldnt come up for air.. Nick's the man, though. His devotion to all things Karloff is unreal.
