I don't inherently dislike small plastic toys, I have a tiny golden Gundam I got for 8 dollars and I like it fine, the problem is that the base Funko design is purposefully blank and soulless, the only individualizing factor being the clothes and hair. It's a cheap, ugly, useless design. The Gundam can move its arms and has a little gun and shield, it's dope.

Can we stop talking about lovely toys and talk about lovely movies instead? The Producers remake is coming to blu-ray on Nov 6. Surprisingly only previously available in Japan.

Spatulater bro! posted:I've always assumed the people who buy those pops play with them in the bathtub Have you not seen the pictures of that guy's house where every wall is covered in display cases filled with thousands of those figurines and written contracts between him and his wife based on when and how much money a month he can spend on them? Iron Crowned posted:I agree that they're garbage, but I feel like for the most part Funko sales probably go to people who buy less than 10 of them in their life. They're really not for us, they're a last minute gift for your estranged child's birthday. They're for that guy who decides that Starlord would make a great addition to their desk. The people I was poking fun at are specifically the people that are losing their poo poo to get the limited edition box set because it has the figurines in it and will probably pay high premiums from re-sellers when the supply dries up. It in no way enhances the purchase. Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I mean Funko is really just

Boinks posted:Can't believe i upgraded my RotLD 3 DVD for 18 seconds of gore, but it was worth it. This is my first Vestron release as well. If it helps, it's a decent amount more than 18 seconds, because a lot of the trims in the R-rated version were alternate "softer" takes instead of outright removals. The total amount of changed footage from R to unrated is more like 10 minutes, iirc.

2001 UHD/remastered Blu pushed back to 11/20 due to manufacturing delays. It's hilarious to read other boards because they're still thinking Christopher Nolan ruined the remaster based entirely on a stupid loving trailer that doesn't look like the new prints or DCP at all.

If you've got a Region B capable player, you can still pre-order them off of UK Amazon. The release date was pushed back to the 5th of November. I, Butthole posted:Oh God thread pull up I'm sorry.

They're not exactly expensive ones, but I organise them by A. genre and B. alphabetical order. Films in a specific franchise, or series, as well as TV shows get their own slots, also based on genre and alphabetical order - unless it's something like the MCU films, in which case, I place them in order of release. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Oct 24, 2018 |

Admittedly I'm biased because I'm just sick to death of hearing about the loving Ninja Turtles, but it's so far from being the best comic book adaptation that it's embarrassing. I'm not even saying it's a terrible movie, just that there are so many movies based on comic books that there are a huge number of better movies than that in this category.

Except for LEGO (lol autocorrect capitalizes it) which is cool and good and objectively the best toy ever made (fight me) I need to finish watching that. Also, The Power of Greyskull is up on Netflix which is a really interesting deep dive into how Masters of the Universe/He-Man/She-Ra came into being. It does become a bit of a slog after the bit on the movie though IMHO.
