There's going to be a Battlestar Galactica reunion panel at SDCC this year. I wouldn't mind trying to get into that, but I'm afraid it's going to be a madhouse. SyFy is also having a panel for that Krypton show they're putting out.

 

[Snake Plissken]

That would be the only thing of the Prime line I might be in for.

I would gather Threezero would only do the fully armored version. Unless the armplates can be fitted with magnetic plating that we could remove. That would easily be $300.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I'm guessing the Threezero figure will be fully armored. I don't know if they'd go through the trouble of making the plates removable--though that would be awesome. Then again, if they did that I'd probably end up having to buy two of them for display.

 

[Snake Plissken]

They did some impressive stuff with they're Fallout line, so it's a possibility.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I'd love to see them go all out then. It seems like they should have already put it up for preorder. I'm afraid it will be the type of line they make a couple figures then delay releasing the rest for 2-3 years.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah it's odd they didn't have the other one posted yet. They had Skull Knight pop up slightly before Guts was available IIRC.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

They've had several figures up for preorder since Skull Knight so it's a little disappointing that there's been no word about the rest of the Berserk figures.

 

[Snake Plissken]

And Guts was a huge seller for them that they did a second run of it. Weird they wouldn't hammer it out while the iron is hot.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Threezero seems to do figures in spurts. They didn't do **** with the Walking Dead license then all of a sudden started pumping them out. Same with the Game of Thrones line. They got quite a few of those up for preorder quickly. I'd hoped they'd do the same with Berserk since it seems like when they stop working on a line they really stop working on it.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah the dumb zombie pack they did sat on websites for ages

All that time in between and they put out a mediocre looking Rick. Michonne looks better, but I'm far from crazy about it. I'd kinda like to get a Governor if they did it since he was one of the few things I did like in the show when I watched it, but it looks like they're bypassing him for Negan.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I'll be surprised if they bother with the Governor now that it's been so long. They could have sold a ton of figures if they'd struck while the show was hot.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah that was it's peak. I honestly would be surprised if the show goes into the next decade. It doesn't have the juice anymore and even the hardcore fans in the thread here seem tired of it.

I watched a few minutes of the first episode of Fear the Walking Dead and shut it off. Unneeded origin story of the same tired **** we've seen a thousand times.

I watched 28 Days later again recently and they give you the origin of the virus, but it's where it came from... not what the hell it is. I have respect for that, not everything needs to be answered.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I did the same thing with Fear the Walking Dead--couldn't get into it. The Walking Dead has been a bust for me for awhile. I was trying to watch it the last couple seasons but ended up fast-forwarding through most of each episode and completely disregarding others. There's only a couple episodes in each season that are event episodes where something actually happens and even all of those events could be condensed into an hour or two. Everything else is ****. They should resolve the Negan storyline next season and end the show. The Whisperers storyline in the comics is **** so there's no point in making anyone sit through that boring ********. The conflict between humanity and the zombie virus has long been discarded so now it's turned into a revolving door of new humans as the villains and making the characters go through the same **** over and over.

This 100%. When I was still reading it and Negan showed up, I could immediately tell it's always going to be a new Governor with a different face.

The official 28 days later graphic novel tells u that the virus was because two scientists were trying to create a virus that was supposed to get rid of anger and rage and violence and was supposed to make people calm but it backfired and it amplified rage instead and got out when the monkey bites the girl at the beginning of the movie.

Some weird crap like that.

Eww. But in the end, the movie overrides and other media.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

The whole study of humanity in the face of being stripped down to 100% survival mode on The Walking Dead has gotten old because they've stopped looking at why they're at that point. I think they have to go back to figuring out what the **** happened and find a way to stop it--especially since the Walkers aren't the real danger anymore. They've just become convenient plot devices for whenever they need to have a shocking death or to set up a big action sequence like having a herd roam through. The problem with that is that there's only so big you can go--how many times can you threaten the characters with a herd of walkers? The comics just had a ridiculous amount of Walkers attack one of the settlements. Who cares? They can't keep throwing herds at the characters and they can't keep replacing one bad human as the villain for another bad human as the villain. The stories have become redundant and too cyclical to keep my attention anymore.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Mother ****er.

We wanted to let you know that the shipment of your Wonder Woman Sixth Scale Figure item will be delayed. Based on the latest production information, we now expect your item to arrive into our warehouse in Aug - Sep 2017.

We apologize that this date has been modified but we look forward to shipping out this item to you when it arrives.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

The Genisys Endoskeleton got delayed again too, and still no word on Ripley. I wish HT would get their **** together.

 

[crows]

The comic was deemed canon by the director and the first 3 chapters come in the special features of the blu ray

Even thought it is a low budget silly comedy, i prefer to watch Z Nation much much more.
Z Nation is much more entertaining. More fun to watch. The plot is more varied, the zombies are even more fun.
