Re: New Doom PF?

I love the ray gun. It's classic Doom. I even called it as the Ex and to me looks better than the clenched fist.

Cosmic Cube = Red Skull
Infinity Gauntlet = Thanos
Chalice = Done already

So really it was the gun or the Ultimate Nullifier (which looks lame) or an unmasked head. I would rather have the gun. Especially since i would never use the unmasked head.

I am sorry for the people that don't like this. I hope you can pick up the first PF or the LSF so you have a Doom in your collection.

Re: New Doom PF?

I would agree that more than likely you'll get switch out faceplates (like you have with the Galactus Maquette) as opposed to switchout heads...makes sense as you would constantly be having to futz the hood each time you wanted to change it.

In regards to what should have been the EX, well I guess it all comes back down to personal preference again...one might prefer the Cosmic Cube (like me) whereas another would prefer the gun or another chalice, etc...thinking about it more, the gun isn't the worse EX, after all, in most pics of Doom, you always see him with the gun anyway so it kinda makes sense. However, and this is my personal opinion, when I saw that Dooms EX was the gun I kinda felt the same way I did when seeing Sideshows new modern Thor PF holding a sword just didn't do it for me...

With that said, its Doom and whichever pose Sideshow went with for this guy would've always worked...standing, sitting, kneeling, etc...so I cant fault the pose...just wish they'd stuck with their original plans for that display base which they teased to us all those months ago. A dioramic base would've made a heck of a difference imo...

Re: New Doom PF?

I understand that you don't like it. I also get that you think it's lazy on their part. However, can you think of a better EX that is closely associated to Doom? Because the options I've heard...I don't associate with Doom. Cosmic Cube, Infinity Gauntlet, and Ultimate Nullifier are objects that I don't really think are unique or closely tied to Doom. I personally would rather have the gun. An unmasked Doom would have been very cool but this is already an option on the LSF so we can't expect it with the PF.

I'm more than willing to call out SSC on lame EXs (Colossus COM and the Modern Thor PF to name a few) but I honestly don't think the gun is as lame as some EX features I have seen. Are you picking the PF up Spliff or will it be a pass for you?

I must admit I'm not fussed about the Ex but it does work & like you mentioned Doom holding them items wouldn't of worked for me either. I just prefer Doom to be posed fists clinched & damn he has presence with this PF

Personally I love it but everyone has there opinion & it's unfortunate if this one isn't for you

Give it time though & once the Ex sells out, just wait & see the panic posts hoping for a conversation

We are of a like mind on this subject RB. I loved the idea Spliff had with the light up time platform but that's a base, not a switch out EX feature. The gun works for me and I'll definitely be adding this EX Doom to my collection. It won't be a day one order for me but that's only because I'm waiting for some rewards points to clear first. Either way, the EX Doom PF will find its way to my display shelves.

Re: New Doom PF?

I really like this piece and it's definitely a day one preorder for me. Or day two since I get paid tomorrow. I like everything about this piece except the base. I think it's a little plain. Still better than any silly X or A base. And those comparing the exclusive to something like Thor's sword , I fail to see the comparison. Doom has his gun all the time and has used it multiple times. Stitching is far superior to the original and it doesn't cost 2k.
