Hot Toys - MMS113 - Blade II - 1/6th scale BLADE Ltd Ed spec + pics

[Legion]

Received the first film from Amazon this morning! For some reason I only bought the second before. Weird. Anyways after watching it again I'm considering passing on this guy in hopes of getting a Blade 1 version. I always preferred the first costume with the exception of the red lining on his jacket, which was cooler than plain black, but on watching it again particularly with a fig in mind I really don't go for the second one at all...

Blade II FTW!!!!!!!

I agree. Its just not fair when decent shows aren't given the chance to fully develop into great shows-- Firefly, Drive, or anything made by Fox.
The only problem I had with the show was the main character. I know you shouldn't compare the two, but the guy just didn't fit the role that Snipes established. I just kept laughing every time the guy started acting like Snipes.

Well the thing that saved it for me was that the lady detective who became a vamp really seemed more like the main character. Like I said before Blade always felt more like the antagonist in that show. I also liked how much they played with the "gray" nature of the vampires. Blade saw it as "black and white" or "good and evil" but it was pretty clear that it wasn't so cut and dry and Blade was just being a total a-hole.

They also played with that a bit in Blade II, although the vampires where ultimately shown as being evil.

I never gave it a shot. I saw it wasn't Wesley Snipes and just called it quits.

Same here. Like the picture above, the Blade TV outfit looked like someones cheap halloween costume, so that was a turn off for me.

Maybe if its up on Hulu, i'll check it out.

I was thinking the same thing. If I can view it for free I will do that.

same , my loyalties uphold with Snipes. :maul

I have to say for me it wasnt a case of loyalty to Snipes I just hated the other guy (whatever his name was). It seemed like his portrayal is what we would have got had Heath Ledger tried to copy Jack Nicholsons Joker. He didnt appear to bring anything new just totally copied Snipes performance. It makes it hard to keep the image of Snipes out of your mind while watching. Of course had he changed the character in a significant way I'd probably be complaining even more. Its difficult for actors I suppose. Like trying to ice skate uphill...

But to be honest I didnt watch very much of it so I could be totally wrong thats just the impression I got from what I did see.

I want to know how they even did a show and 4th movie when in Blade Trinity they killed all vampires.

 

[Minimodel]

yeah I loved that Blade tv show too. really interesting (and surprisingly cool). Shame people did the "it's not wesley snipes" thing and didnt watch it. *sigh*

Agreed Darren,that show was one of very few things I bother to watch on TV.

I gotta make more room!!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!

Yeah they did a movie based on the show with the same people in it as the show.

 

[dedguy]

That's not a movie it's the pilot for the show.

 

[Morbach]

Oh okay gotcha. Why did they do it like a movie? And that still doesn't explain how they continued after Blade Trinity.

 

[dedguy]

Well, much like other TV shows based on films (Mash, Buffy, Sarah Conner etc) the show isn't in the timeline or reality even as the film. It's "Like a movie" because that's how pilots for hour long tv shows often are.

 

[Morbach]

Oh so it pays respect to the films but doesn't follow their footsteps. Interesting. Maybe I will try it out.

 

[Riko]

OEH YEAH! nice figure a must buy for me!
