    X-Men '97

    That's what I mean - they're basically admitting defeat right from the start. Including Magik as a cameo in season 1 is them saying that she's never gonna be a real character in this show, which just seems like throwing in the towel too early. There's no good reason why this show couldn't run...

    X-Men '97

    Exactly why I hated the way the '70s era costumes were included in the first season. It feels like they want to speed-run every iconic look the characters have ever had, regardless of whether it fits them as they are in the series. Costume changes should feel special and earned and should last...

    Skurge the Executioner BAF Wave

    Yeah the height on that figure has always annoyed me, especially after they re-scaled most female characters to be shorter right after that. Carol Danvers getting height-mogged by Kitty Pryde lmao.

    Operation Monster Force

    All of public domain fiction is quite a wide net for a line. I'm assuming it won't go any earlier than the gothic/romantic periods, maybe the 1600s at the very earliest? I certainly wouldn't mind some civilian types from the renaissance through to Victorian eras. Been wanting a prince Prospero...

    Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

    Something about their shin bones make them bow outwards horribly if left standing with any weight on them, worse even than the old Hasbro female figures with the pinned knees. At least the 2 I have can't really be displayed without a stand, even without all their other joint problems. I think...

    Magic the Gathering Legends

    Yeah my Morlun figure rarely comes out of storage bcause he's just so unimposing on that body. I've been hoping they would remake him on the Tombstone body.

    Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

    Exactly why I prefer stuff like Boss Fight and Savage Crucible over Frazetta Girls, despite the usually superior aesthetics. The Norseman figure's hair and helmet fly across the room the second I pick him up, and Vampirella's torso and leg articulation doesn't even let her do the pose from the...

    Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

    Maybe it was just because I was prepared to be disappointed with their Red Sonja after those rough production sample photos and those crappy skeletons, but she kinda did blow me away. There are minor nitpicks obviously, but she's second only to Savage Crucible in terms of my favourite fantasy...

    Well... i guess I'm cancelling my Battle of the Black Stone Conan.

    Operation Monster Force

    At least the bare midriff from the concept art seems to be gone in the new render. Guessing the shoulders are still bare but hard to tell without colour. Shame the slightly more realistic armoured vest from the concept art was replaced with high-tech boob armour.

    General Marvel Legends

    Holy shit, more re-use for the hulk baby mould! Or they stick adult Sequioa in with classic Swordsman and Mantis just to make nobody happy.

    General Marvel Legends

    Hell, I was raised in a sect that doesn't believe in the crucifix or the trinity/Nicene creed but still identify as Christian lmao. Anyway, I hope they stop doing the bare minimum with the classic avengers releases. I passed on so many of them despite wanting the characters because they just...

    General Marvel Legends

    Not to get too into the weeds of religious history, but most Christians are perfectly okay with using imagery and physical representations of religious figures in their worship. The distinction they make with the false idol thing is whether the object itself is believed to have any inherent...

    Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

    Great work, that's gotta be it 100%. Boots, earring, hooked scabbard, loincloth, forearm bands all match. He's even in this pose in the teaser picture. And it fits the criteria of being a preexisting character that's never had an action figure.
