Re: New Doom PF?

But your putting the base of a $2,000 statue on a $390 statue (which is half its size).
Of course it's going to look better and everyone will say that.

Really wish Marvel Cinematic Universe could use Doom. He would make a very menaning villain for the Avengers.

Agreed, I always thought he worked well as an overall villain instead of just trapping him with the FF.

IMO the OG was all throne, that's what made the piece. If this new one is as good as the proto even with the simple base it will fit the void.

I agree. I think doom would be an awesome avengers movie villain.

New Doom PF?

Per SSAlex, Doom's hood will have a wire in it. I hated the wire in the original.

Re: New Doom PF?

A lot of peeps are saying this. I gotta say, I'm kind of surprised. While I'll be the 1st to admit that the EX isn't essential to the piece, I also don't think the EX is a throw away (like the modern Thor PF). He's had that gun holster (and obviously the gun in it) for as long as I can remember. Why do peeps find it odd to see him holding it? He has it for a reason. I'm cool with it and will definitely be displaying him with it. The REG is available to those thathate it and obviously peeps that order the EX aren't forced to display the gun. The only issue I have with the piece is the base. It's rather plain. IMO, everything about Doom himself looks great. I'm very much looking forward to adding this to my collection.

Because he's used a gun, like...3 times. If that.

I like it enough to PO but will most likely wait till after Comic Con to decide...

Re: New Doom PF?

The gun and its holster has been a staple of Doom's character from the start. I LOVE it and will definitely be displaying it.

I like the gun, classic Dr Doom weapon right there IF you are familiar with the character in the comics and not just the statue and movie based Doom

Dr. Doom is supposed to have a broom handle Mauser, and not a ray gun. That's what the Encyclopedia of the Marvel Universe said.

Re: New Doom PF?

The original PF has the right gun

And? Cops carry a gun every day. They only use it when they need it. The bottom line is that the gun holster and the gun itself have been a part of the Doom character from the word go. He has used it and it's a part of the characters long history. Also, no one is forced to display it. If peeps don't like it, order a REG or use the fist option that's also included with the EX. I'm glad they went with the gun instead of the cosmic cube or ultimate nullifier as some peeps wanted. The cube is tied to Red Skull and Thanos and the nullifier is tied to Reed and Big G. Doom's gun is HIS. He designed and built it for his use whenever he needs it. I'll happily display the gun when I add Doom to my collection.

Normal peeps update their arsenal over time to suit their needs. Surely a brilliant inventor such as Doom would update his weapons as he sees fit and not attach himself to obsolete weapons.

He already has beam weapons inside the armor, doesn't he? He doesn't need a ray gun. He carries the Mauser in case of equipment failure, I guess, since it's reliable, and it's cheap to use. Mausers kill people just as dead as ray guns...

You don't understand the character do you?

In real life yes...in the Marvel U, not so much. They have some pretty tough critters in the Marvel U. Anyways, like I said, I'm fine with a ray gun. In general, a gun is associated with Doom more than the other weapons I mentioned. I can certainly understand if it's not someones cup of tea but I don't think it's a throw away EX.

Please, educate me.

Re: New Doom PF?

Doom carries the pistol largely for ceremony. He'll use it in the event that it's more of an inconvenience to not dispatch a non-threat than the inconvenience of ignoring it. 9/10 times if an opposer to Doom isn't worthy of an altercation Doom will swat them away or say something awesome then **** off. Doom feels that ballistic weaponry is barbaric and largely beneath him, and uses it occasionally on foes that fit that criteria. He takes TREMENDOUS pride in his sorcery and tech and would MUCH rather showcase it's feats than stoop to such lowly methods.

Then it's a good thing he's carrying a ray gun on the PF instead. I like the idea of him possibly confronting a real threat instead of a nuisance.
