[Halaster Blackcloak]

I gotta create an Off Topic sub forum. But in the meantime, check this out...

Hasbro is making a 3ft tall Galactus figure for the Marvel Legends line!

$400, but godddamn, I'd love to get this for myself for Xmas!

[garhkal]

40 bucks i could see... 400.. ARE THEY FUCKING insane?!

[Halaster Blackcloak]

Yeah, it's insane alright! Regular 6" figures go for around $25 now. When I was a kid, they were $1.75. With inflation, that would cost (today) around $10.71. The figure is 6 times larger than the normal 6" figures, so that should be $150 ($25 x 6). $400 is crazy. I have no idea why so much.

[garhkal]

Just because its 'six times larger', shouldn't make it SIX times costlier..

[Halaster Blackcloak]

True, but $150 for a figure that huge, I can see that. It's within reason, considering for example that Modok had a $55 retail price when released. So $150 for a figure that big...I'd buy it. Hell yes, for Galactus! But $400? WTF?

[garhkal]

I agree. 140 for a figure like that, would be ok. 400, YOU GOTTA be kidding me...

[Halaster Blackcloak]

What sucks is you have man-boys who live in mommy's basement and pay no bills and have no jobs other than to sell toys, and they buy these up and then if you want one aftermarket, they'll be $850+ on ebay.

[garhkal]

True that. A few years back, when i was starting to get into X-wing miniatures (for the heroes of the aturi campaign), i saw a lot at a local goodwill.. It was a woman who was selling her sons stuff off.. It contained over 50 ships.. They had it on the shelf for 140 bucks.. I went to the bank, and by the time i got back,s omeone else bought it (unfortunately my asking them to 'hold it for me' fell on deaf ears).. 2 weeks later, i SAW THE SAME collection, on Ebay for 340! OVER 250% price up...

Where's his mommy figurine? She's probably 6' tall....

[garhkal]

Come again??

[Halaster Blackcloak]

They gave Galactus a mother. Yeah. Modern stupidity.

[garhkal]

AHH, now i get you. AND YEA i did a what the fuck, double take, when i read that news article i saw a few weeks back, about Galactus now in marvel, is being given in a mother...

[McDeath]

Yeah...
Galactus Mother


Galactus' Pregnant Daughter


Hmmm... didn't know?

Aala is the wife of Galen, a scientist on Taa who was predicting the end of their world. Taa and the universe itself would come to an end but Galen would be reborn in the new universe as Galactus.

What if Galactus Had A Girlfriend?


Ooooohhhhh!!! Jerry Jerry Jerry!!


Good Grief!

[garhkal]

AND this is why i say good comics, died a decade or more ago.

[Halaster Blackcloak]

Hell, in my view they died in the mid-80's. I can't stomach just about anything after 1986.

[McDeath]

Just wait until Powerpuff hits the CW. More lesbian butch/dike, shemale super themed sex and drama than ever. Opening scene is Buttercup lesbanging her bitch gf while a sister watches. I wasn't a fan of the toon on cartoon network but this?!? WTF!!!

[garhkal]

Come again?? powerpuffs being live action now?

Man, the CW's turning into utter garbage.

[McDeath]

Just one of many sites and youtube vids:

Stuff like:

And I’m forced to believe it because there is absolutely no way anyone could fabricate a script with a line of dialogue so utterly atrocious as “I’m not wearing that dress anymore. It’s compulsory heterosexuality,” or how about “Bloss! Wake up or we’ll leak your nudes everywhere!”

The CW Casts Its Powerpuff Girls.

The live-action adaptation of the popular animated series The Powerpuff Girls has been cast! Chloe Bennet (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) will play Blossom Utonium, Dove Cameron (Descendants) will play Bubbles, and newcomer Yana Perrault will play Buttercup. The series will be about three disillusioned women in their 20s with superpowers who used to fight crime together as kids, but reunite to save the world. Written by Diablo Cody (Juno).

Well.... sort of

Leaked Scripts

[garhkal]

I am shocked Chloe is doing this, after all the fan love she got FROM her agents of shield character..

[McDeath]

She quit. Not sure who Blossom will be now.

[garhkal]

Thats good to hear.

[McDeath]

Check out this Japanese x-men opening. Apparently it is reused ending footage on one obscure part of the American version (last season maybe)

Kind of DBZ looking. Jubilee trained under Master Roshi. Wolverine is Vegeta?

[garhkal]

[McDeath]
