1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars Episode VII: Captain Phasma

[Malgus]

This was the worst movie I've ever seen. It makes terminator genesys and the prequels look like masterpieces. Not trolling.

Your opinion is on the extreme fringes. You have the problem not the film.

Really have to second this! The best thing about it is that I can save a lot of money ...

They should have made Phasma VS Finn in the light saber duel rather than a random riot trooper. Makes much more sense and also would redeem her (even if it is interrupted by Han and Chewy's blaster.). I don't get it why a random trooper would hold that much grudge to Finn yelling at him being a traitor. Phasma, on the other hand would be perfect in that role. Oh well. Makes me think that Phasma was added in somehow as an afterthought while a lot of the movie has been already filmed?

Maybe a little obvious? I like that Phasma was used to troll the fans -- this time. Who knows what the next film may have in store. That "random trooper" was trained to be a First Order soldier since childhood with little or no individuality. Why wouldn't he have a hate on for Finn? Besides, for all we know he may have trained in the same unit and known him.

What the hell have you been watching?

What the hell have you been watching?

The movie that I watched had a subtitle: it was called ´A Duck Tales Adventure´.

Not sure why the 2 that hate the film are in here trolling.

You're not interested in the figure so why don't you move along rather than to continually post about hating the film. Are we 12 year olds?

Loved the Movie, and tho i would have loved more Phasma, we just didn't have the time... and even so i enjoyed her part in the movie. yes she felt absent in the film, i do feel that... but that doesn't mean that her time wasn't valuable (being the turning point for a certain character that was a big deal, wouldn't have happened as soon if not IMO).

i look forward to her return....

Spoiler

Plus the nod to A New Hope with a trash compactor i enjoyed.

SW used to be more for me than just ´a film´ ... Anyway, you are right and the discussion should be about the figures in this thread and not the movie ...

Hold on one minute!

There is no call for bringing Duck Tales into this. Duck Tales is awesome, and I think you owe it an apology.

Cuz the trollers gonna troll, troll, troll, troll, troll...

I'll never understand the point of shamming something so badly just because YOU didn't like it. And by that respect you think others are just going to join your ranks and hate it with you. False. Not all of us are turning to the dark side. I thought the movie was great and really look forward to the next 2.

From the beginning the whole whining about "duck troopers" has just been childish. Sorry that they didn't ask you trolls for your input. Get over it already.


Move along... move along.

If you think this is the worst movie ever,you haven't seen many movies.

I did already, Spud! We are going to meet again in the customs section as it used to be and discuss about techniques rather than the quality of films ...

The ENTIRE film was a nod to ANH...Jakku is Tatooine. Another death star. Rey is the same role as Luke. X-wings fly down a death star trench to an opening where they blow it up / Ships fly into death star to "core" to blow it up. And many more.

I'm rather disappointed in the portrayal of this character in the movie.

Hot Toys figures sales have nothing to do with collectors' "imaginations". That makes absolutely no sense. I can perhaps see that happening with a 5 year old and his/her Hasbro 3 3/4" figures but not with $230+ dollar figures.

Not sure where you picked up that people were advising others to not "keep" their pre-order of this figure. I honestly don't remember reading those posts. I'm sure there are plenty of people that pre-ordered all of the figures prior to seeing the film. I'm also sure that there are even more people that waited/are waiting to see the film before placing any pre-orders. Many have mentioned the same, including myself, on multiple threads.

If Phasma had indeed had at least one "pew-pew" scene, it would of course have provided her with some much needed badassery. Instead we get her doing absolutely nothing worthwhile except looking cool in chrome. A good example is the "Mandarin" figure from "Iron Man 3". Previews showed that character to appear to be a great protagonist. The film proved otherwise. Figure sales were definitely affected (for the worst) because of the role, even though that figures head sculpt is one of Hot Toys best.

Everyone is entitled to buy what they want but I only mentioned that it's my opinion that the figure's sales numbers (if manufactured in significant quantities) will be lower because of the role and thus may go on discount. Nothing to do with telling others to cancel their PO's or not use their imagination.

Actually quite a few people mentioned cancelling their orders after seeing the film. Which is fine, but the point for me is that purchase was based on aesthetics and I guess some hoped for battle scenes that didn't pan out. If it were me and I were buying generic troops also, I would just take solace in some written backstory for the character and keep my order. She's one of the best designs of all the troopers regardless of what transpires in the movie and will figure into Part VIII, so no need to abandon ship, IMO. Anyway, don't really care it was just a reaction to all the fanboy disappointment to her character.

 

[BOLISARIO]

No Phasma for me. Character was a joke -- literally. Her summation ended as a punch-line.

I'm rather disappointed in the portrayal of this character in the movie.

Based on your comments(mine included), we're too fickle and lack imagination as per invictus sol.

 

[Invictus Sol]

You guys are also overly sensitive.

 

[Aliaz]

If I was collecting from TFA I would have bought this just because of the look. It's a unique look and will stand out on a trooper shelf. And I think she will have a bigger role in VIII.

 

[Invictus Sol]

See, Aliaz gets it. No need to get all bent out of shape, fellas.
