Who should make 12" Matrix figures?

[screamingmetal]

I liked the first one the most followed by Reloaded but Revolutions just leaves me flat.
And I think the Power Loader Mecha was lifted from Japanese Manga and Anime, which is the same place the APUs comes from, so they're not ripoffs.

I have Trinity from Medicom which sucks to the extreme, so NO more Medicom Matrix figures.
I also own the "Neo" from Hot Toys, nice figure but shows the worst of Hot Toys' earlier figures. But if you compare their early Seal Halo figures with their newer Seal Halo figures you can tell they've improved greatly so I voted Hot Toys.

So, I'm hesitant to actually try this such Trin is such an expensive figure, but do you think there would be any hope of replacing her body with something more articulated? I'm guessing that answer to that is a "no"....

Why not? Just transfer the head and costume to a Cy-Girl figure or whatever. I've seen at least one eBay auction where they've done that.

I haven't looked at it in a while, I think the jacket was removable but the pants might not be. It might be possible to transplant the outfit and head, I'm not sure how the outfit would fit on other base bodies though. It might work on a PB with the small cup bust.
here's a review by Jeff Parker:

Yeah Larry was busy turning himself into Laura.

Absolutely. You can totally see all the allusions in that film.

Larry was seeing a high-class Hollywood dominatrix who was bringing out his feminine side. During shooting of Reloaded, the brothers went home to Chicago (I believe) for Christmas with their family and Larry dropped the bomb he was taking hormone shots and wanted to become a woman. It's all true. I kid you not.

Holy ****!

That explains alot though.

I've heard the same:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Wachowski

Lana Wachowski

Shortly after the release of Matrix Reloaded, Larry Wachowski began to make small public appearances dressed as a woman and going by Lana Wachowski. In his column, published May 30, 2003, David Poland said "Every indication I have says that Larry Wachowski is now in the process of changing his sex. Dressing in public like a woman, taking female hormones and yes, having a sex change operation. However, since then many sources have called this into question stating that he is merely a cross dresser and not a transsexual.

In March 2006, the San Francisco Chronicle reported in an article on transgender people, that Larry Wachowski "has changed his sex and is now living as Lana Wachowski".

Yeah, if you rewatch 2 and 3 there's a lot of the underground S&M, victum-of-right-wing-homophobia sybolism and imagery going on. How does #3 end? The subset of humans who opt out of society to go live litterally underground get the choice to do so and are left alone.

It's indulgent and personal and that's why it turned off people who wanted more of the same from Matrix 1.

I thought you were describing the plot of V for Viagra or whatever it is.

I think V for Viagra is the subtitle for the new Indy film!
