Really, had the movie opened to Elemental’s numbers (sub 30 mil opening weekend), THEN we’d be talking a bomb. Reportedly, Elemental’s budget was in the $200 million range as well.
Then again, there’s a LOT of money on the back end we don’t see. While Paramount+ will get the streaming options...
Pursuit of Cobra Low Light I think will remain one of the most impressively accessorized single figure ever made. Especially when you consider I preordered mine for $5.99!
Low Light is solid, but I have greater attachment to the Marauders version. And, after BBQ, I'm not worried about him...
Also looks like some modifications to the battle system, including "ultimate moves". Valentina got a breast reduction and lost her jiggle, too. I LOVE Super Mario RPG, so that's a sure fire purchase for me.
Star Ocean 2 is on my radar, though the Arkham collection feels a couple years behind...
We still haven’t seen the Studio Series Nightbird. We’ve just seen the “lower end” Core Deluxe version. A decade ago, we might have gotten some nifty redeco options, but that doesn’t feel like the way things are done. Especially in Studio Series, where accuracy to the medium is the biggest...
If there were any toys that demonstrate my continued…frustrations…with the collector segment, it’s those two.
It’s disappointing/baffling/frustrating that the “lesser” Deluxe and Voyager figures “hit their notes” (so to speak) BETTER that the premium/collector segment.
With Mirage, we’ve...
Studio Series is off limits due the licensing issues with the design. THAT SAID, I’m not sure the Core Deluxe Cheetor is subject to that since the first we saw of the design was in an Evergreen Titan Changer box.
Hasbro has been more apt to do that the past year or so. We saw it with...
Stevie’s thoughts!
Shadow Striker, I think they did a good job. But…I’m not overly attached to the character. And I see WAY too much SideBurn to not wait and see how he ends up.
Detritus- I have other Earth (or similar) Hounds, but I don’t have a Detritus. And having faction options is...
Shipwreck’s wave is shipping now, but probably won’t reach US distributors until mid-late July. Most online retailers have him slated to arrive between August and September. Unless you got those overseas “connections”.
Frankly, at this stage, if you aren’t ordering online, you only have...
No joke, I’m still holding out hope for a Crossover with Dungeons and Dragons to give us a transforming Owlbear for the IceBird homage.
I raised that prospect before, but he lacks a series identifier. A big stealth wing Soundwave would probably be more interesting than the options I presented...
Sky bound announced that Hama’s ARAH will continue in November.
Whoopee.
After the crap show that was issue 300, I’ll give the Energon Universe a shot. But Hama burned his last road with me, and it would be insulting if ARAH 301 ended up selling better than the Energon Universe offerings.
Leader Soundwave is interesting. My “safe” projection is a retool of Doubledealer for a Machine Wars/Universe 1 style update, especially with the ability to utilize the Siege Cassettes (maybe with some sort of new Selects offering?). Another option might be a repaint of the Earth-style Voyager...
Eh, I think that’s more a result of using the more…”video game inspired”…first mold of Snake Eyes, rather than some of the later figures which skewed a bit more grounded. It’s one of those things where I think some of the sculpt oddities were a bit hidden by the prior versions’ darker colors...
Interest in the comics pretty much imploded mid-way through IDW’s run. Few seem to be interested with the new initiative with most still harking for an ARAH continuation. I question just how much “fans” are really able to drive GI Joe at this point, aside from apparently still going hog wild...
BOM is estimating around $60.5 million opening weekend. Though I’m not sure if that counts the additional 12-ish it garnered through Thursday screenings, which would land it a VERY solid $70 million or so opening.
If word of mouth is strong, I could see a $150-200 million domestic haul...
On Facebook, 3D Joes streamed the presentation from Joe Declassified concerning some new, unseen, stuff from 94 and 95. Some nifty stuff, but a LOT of flawed interpretations, IMO. As much as I commend these guys in finding all these lost details and design documents...their interpretations...
Let's be real though: Trump is going to claim ANY lawyer he has was "incompetent" if he doesn't get acquitted. He is still entitled to representation, and don't you get a public defender, even at the federal level? Though, that would probably be enough for him to argue he got incompetent...
