This is my ignorance talking, but did templates work that way before everything was digitized? I mean now, sure, absolutely. The layer function in Photoshop and its imitators make stuff like this super easy (barely an inconvenience)... but back in the mid/late 90s this stuff was all still done...
I don't doubt that a superhero whose tagline is "truth, justice, and the American way" may be struggling internationally at a time when perception of the US isn't exactly high the world over.
But....
Fantastic Four is still south of $500 million, and they aren't nearly as tied to Americana...
I had the Legacy Laser Prime and the OG Laser Prime side by side and while the old one still holds up in a lot of ways... it does show its age. The static shoulders on the new one aren't my favourite thing, but overall I much prefer the proportions and posing potential on the Legacy mould.
The thing is... this wouldn't stop being the case after he left Hasbro. Mattel, PlayMates, etc... aren't keen on IP infringement either, and I can't see the upside to going "you know what? I love IP stealing 3P and always have!" after leaving because that seems like a surefire way to not get job...
PlayWithThisToo roped BMOG into their second crowd funding campaign. It was just an attempt to latch onto a popular thing. They roped Aaron Archer into things around the same time.
There was so much about that, that was just uncomfortable.
Vangelus doing leg work for them on his podcast... I mention that because that podcast had a dedicated thread on TFW's boards and I asked Rik "you make a lot of statements about getting out from under the bean counters... but you're...
Sitting at $581.1 million. Apparently it needed to make $700 million to be considered a success financially so... not sure where that leaves this right now.
Fantastic Four is only sitting at $473.1 million and Thunderbolts* only made $382.4 million.
And all three of these movies are...
I tend to vacillate between Marvel and DC but Superman was just really good.
Thing is I actually really enjoyed FF and Thunderbolts* too.
The only real clunker has been Captain America: Brave New World
BBTS would be my no questions go to if their preorders got in on time. But so many of them just drag out....
Planning to make sure I have hobby money on hand when this stuff drops is a part of preordering and BBTS makes that harder than it has to be by not dropping when it says it will and then...
Apparently they have plans to cast a new Batman for this continuity but to be perfectly honest I think they should just work to integrate Pattinson's Batman into it.
Just avoid the confusion and take advantage of the groundwork already laid.
Eh... some fire trucks, depending on the model, can be a mess of parts and hoses and ladders back there. I think I also just have a lower standard for Transformers fire trucks? Like... RiD '01 Prime is rightfully held up as an all time classic, and he's got his super mode robot head just sitting...
