I don't get why they feel the need to cram so many characters into the movies.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I don't either. Just off the top of my head, Justice League will have Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman, Mera, Vulko, Lex Luthor, Deathstroke, Commissioner Gordon, Lois Lane, and Alfred. Plus probably Steppenwolf as the big bad with no doubt a quick appearance by Darkseid.

part of the problem w/ so many new characters to me also seems that since there was no back story prior to this flick, don't see how they can cram that many new people in? granted we all know who and what they are, just as the movie side goes, there's nothing there so how do you mash all that in and keep the movie under 4 hours???

Exactly. The lack of backstory for the characters is what bothers me. As much as people complain about Marvel films, they did it the right way--introduce the characters in solo films, tie them all together in a shared universe, then make a film where they form a team.

I hate myself for wanting this, but I love the color and design.

I'm cool with it, as long as it adds to the story line.

Other than that, it becomes a two hour commercial to promote their other movies. You know, cause money.

I haven't taken any pics yet but I opened the Mezco Armored Batman and Dredd figures last night. I can't believe how well done they are for 1/12 scale. The Armored Batman is really impressive and comes with a ton of accessories. Dredd is pretty damn cool too, though I kinda wish I had the black suit version instead of the blue after seeing how blue his suit is in-hand. Still, I really like both of them so I think I'm going to get a few more. I don't want to get too deep into collecting a new line, but there are some characters that I think I have to have now.

is dredd the one w/ the oversized shoulder gimmicks?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Well that's how the source material is so they did make it accurate.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

The one I got was this one. It's only one body but came with the cloak thing too.

gotcha... so in hand, do they look too oversized? that's been my only gripe... not that its a deal breaker, just that they look a little too big...

I think they're pretty big for his body. They're held on by magnets though so his arms still have a decent range of articulation.

I should add that I got the Dredd figure for 1/3 of the retail price since it was on sale when Hastings closed down. Even with the big shoulder pads, it's tough to be upset about it when it cost $35.

My phone automatically detected photos of my Malcolm Reynolds figure as Nathan Fillion. What a crazy world we live in! Lets see another figure that could do that!

That's crazy. I wish they'd get more Firefly figures out faster.

Yeah, I got lucky and Shawpaw found one for me at the Hastings near him before it closed. The Hastings near me never had Mezco figures.
