The Iceberg Lounge aka GeneralZodLives's Phantom Zone

[GeneralZodLives]

I need to get off my ass make the phantom zone spinning rings seem like be a very fun easy dio. A microwave turntable ring and rings with Zod n Faora and 2nd masked zod would be epic dio. I love the glass phantom zone coffee table with blown up pic of them trapped inside i saw many , many moons ago...

I wish any company would do a setup of the characters with the rings, whether as 1/6 scale figures or a statue.

 

[Snake Plissken]

That's a pretty good price.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I went ahead and ordered it. It was the version I really wanted and I'd probably be pissed if I waited and the stupid thing sold out quickly.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I remember Tony Mei made a bunch of Kyrptonite spears, now this one comes with it.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Yeah, the lack of spear is what made me thing they'd make a BD one and include it. It might not have worked out since I've been wrong before--like when I thought they'd make a Superman with heat vision head sculpt--so I'm glad they at least did this one.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Are they still doing the Batmobile?

I still hate I passed on the 89... but too many had scratches.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Streaky was the obvious EX. I like this one though so it looks like I'm collecting a new damn line of statues.

For some reason I thought they'd scrapped the Batmobile. Maybe they'll decide to do the Justice League one. I never picked up the '89 Batmobile either due to all the QC issues. I'd only pick it up now if I got to inspect it in person first.

Man, I'm currently rewatching X-Men the Animated Series and I forgot how much I would kill for a 1/6 Wolverine. Maybe I'll have to settle for the old Medicom.

It's amazing to me how X-Men was literally the biggest thing on the planet 15-20 years ago - I remember even here in the UK you couldn't turn around without seeing the cartoon, comics, action figures, lunch boxes, etc everywhere - and now it's almost like this "niche" thing. Just live-action movies and almost no merchandise whatsoever.

Got some more synthetic humans yesterday:

The second batch version of the basic synth is way better-made than the first. I think they even retooled some parts of it to improve the proportions but I can't be 100% on that.

X-Men TAS was huge at the time, just as popular as BTAS. I remember reading newspapers and magazines all made comparisons to the cartoon when the 2000 movie cast was announced, since most people are familiar with the show rather than the comics.

Looks great and reminds me to rewatch iRobot someday.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

X-Men TAS was the ****. I haven't watched it in a long time, but I used to record them on my VCR so I could watch them again later.

If I can get you one of those at SDCC then I may also get one for myself. They're pretty impressive.

They're a ton of fun, couldn't think of a better desk toy. Really wish I'd jumped on the 1/6 versions before they skyrocketed in value...

 

[Snake Plissken]

Nope, didn't worked. I had to use some nail polish but even then, it can fall off occasionally. Must be a defective joint. Oh well.

Also, how is your DX10/13 belt? You were the last person to post on the DX13 thread about the belt but never got back about how they held up.

I checked the belts last night. I didn't check behind their coats but all of the front, and they all seemed fine. I forgot all about the BD arm on Tech Noir, but I'll check it in a few minutes to see.

EDIT checked the arm and its solidly in the bicep joint.

That's great, looks like all your T-800's are holding up well. Not that I'm implying they're prone to breaking down or anything, mind you.

Eh, the movie has cool designs that look pretty faithful to the comics. I'd be interested in a Laureline.

...Though it's definitely a jarring announcement.

 

[Plastic Bateman]

Oh damn, Hot Toys doing figures based on a Eurocomic movie? RIP wallet.

 

[Veil1]

I don't think these are going to see the light of day.
