Action figures, Movies, Games, TV shows, things I like, Things I hate, weird news old or recent... they're fair game for my rants.
DISCLAIMER: OPINIONS POSTED ARE EXAGGERATED FOR COMEDIC EFFECT!! Got it?
A closer to official pics... gotta stay tuned for SDCC to see of it'll be a Mattel Creations exclusive or something. But this brings me to my next point:
I want an Adam, a 2 pack with Dolph Lundgren based on the gym scene... and screw it, Adam's annoying boss... also, final scene Adam and Teela...
Whether the sequel articles are speculation or not, here's the top 10 Characters I want to see in the sequel:
10: Two-Bad:
It would be a great visual. Sure it would require lots of CGI for the dual headed character.
9: Zodac:
Easy character to make, wouldn't require many fight scenes, as he's a talking head.
8: Whiplash:
Oh what fun would that tail bring in preparation for the Snakemen.
7: Stratos:
The movie Does Mention Avion at the end... so bring forth the Winged Apeman.
6: Jitsu:
The Anti Fisto... just to give Fisto a Redeeming moment.
5: Stinkor:
Because he stinks and a killable fart joke...
4: Keldor:
Now, hear me out... He's still He-man's uncle... He's played by Jared Leto... He's Randor's lost brother... He's not blue. His outfit will be very Classic Skeletor-like... Plot twist He's the Human Disguise that King Hssssss uses during the movie.
3: Buzz-Off:
Just to have another Flyer Stratos can bounce off... wouldn't be opposed to killing him since they did Mossman Dirty.
2: Demo-Man:
Have him be a minor savage brute villain mostly reduced to "cannon fodder cameo" then in a post credits scene Demo-Man burns his flesh and reveals the resurrected Skeletor.
A recolor of Akuma with extras. MEH! I just wish these were accessory packs.
Saw He-Man again. Liked it a bit better this time. I still have a few gripes but, this time there were more kids and for the most part they enjoyed it. That's a good thing. Macy's had a few Chronicles... Tri-Klops and Duncan, but those are a tad too expensive... also notoced how shittily stocked was that Macy's TRU... No Marvel, No Star Wars, No Transformers, No TMNT, no Mario... loads of Barbie and crappy dolls.
Todd is at it again... first Naruto, then My Hero Macadamia... Now...
Look at how they massacred my ballless boy... though Turbo Okarun isn't that bad.
Will we get Shiratori or the Kaiju girl? Hell will Todd give us Granny Seiko. Since Todd hates female figures.
Specifically Camila Mendes and Nick Galitzine... with the Sky Sled.
Will I get Grayskull? I dunno. I passed on 2 Chronicles figures because they were a tad too expensive. Incredibly enough alleged pedophile Jared Leto has been very hard to find.. in any scale.
The funny thing is that many people who are coaxed into watching the movie who aren't fans of the property have described the movie as good yet, critics try to paint this like the biggest flop since Space Jam too.
A part of me misses the PlayStation 2 era when movies came out. There was always a shitty tie-in game attached and this movie screams, classic God of war clone.
And Fuck you Neitlich... it's movie year and there's no Crystal Castle or MOTUC NA Roster completed...
I am a bit miffed. Biblical Adventures made a Red horny Devil... as an exclusive for Designercon 2025... which already passed.
I NEED THIS!! I NEEDS IT SO BADLY!! I have a Jesus figure waiting to come out the Toy Chest... maybe for his birthday. Look at it... pitchfork red, mostly naked... he's perfect!
Some Witcher 4 "gameplay footage" "on a ps5".
I don't believe it's actual gameplay... but if the final product looks half as good... I'm game. Good thing I'm replaying Witcher 3 on PS5 right now...
Speaking of trailers...Moana is not even 10 years old and it hasa live action remake.
This movie trailer screams Wait until Disney+... feels more like a Disney Channel Original Movie.
Looks like Tom Holland didn't quit Spider-Man... as some nasty rumors stated.
Dammit! The only time I can agree with Joe Quesada and I was robbed! Having Tom and Zendaya trade their love to revive Marissa Tomei by making a deal with Borat would have been ridiculous and awesome at the same time.
Also, newer Spider-Man suit
Walmart actually shipped my New Etheria She-Ra. The one item available everywhere gets shipped, but the Walmart Exclusive gets canceled.
You know what's bullshit? Having a successful pre-order then getting an item canceled just to see Scalpers doing this shit.
Parlando di cose stupide. Guess who's got some new weird ads stalking Leon Scott Kennedy?
Si haz dicho el búho verde, haz adivinado.
Yes, Duolingo has a thing with Resident Evil or something.
What the actual fuck? Can't wait to see the goddess put this in Resident Evil 2 Remake.
If Duolingo helps Leon practices Spanish.Then Resident Evil 4 will be a cakewalk for him.
Seems so close yet so far... A He-Man movie finally happening. We have a date, behind the scenes pics... but I don't have my Mom, who would've loved watching it. But Not what I wanted to mention.
She wouldn't have given a crap about Street Fighter. She wouldn't have bothered to watch SD until it came to HBO.
Another thing she wouldn't have watched.
Then again, she hated the idea of streaming services. But Juan Piss Season 2 has a 2026 date. No specifics, probably between May/September. We got our first look for Chopper and he looks nice.
The actor playing Johhny Storm in the new Fantastic Four movie, Joseph Quinn doesn't understand the character. According to an interview he gave to Variety, Johnny Storm won't be a womanizing, arrogant douche... because that's "not sexy".
The Idea of Johnny Storm being this IRRESPONSIBLE SELFISH ASSHOLE IS to show the "dark side of the power". You know how Spider-Man is all about " With Great Power comes Great Responsibility." Johnny lacks the Responsibility part. He needs to mature into his powers. Maturing is a sign of character growth. Starting as an arrogant douchebag, who uses his fame as a hero to sleep around.
Before anyone tries to argue that it was the 60s. Remember, the 60s was the era of the "free love". Also the womanizing johnny is a trait that it's still around. A little while back, Doctor Doom Was about to make peace with the fantastic 4; because he was getting married. Then Johnny screwed it all up by fucking Doom's fiancée. I forgot the other part. He was seeing someone else and he cheated on his partner with Doom's fiancée.
Johnny needs to be a prick. I guess I'll wait for Fantastic Four to hit Disney plus and not watch It at theaters.
It wasn't BAAAAD, but it wasn't good. I'm going to go on a small rant here. The plot is OK, but what made it hard to watch the movie was the "realistic CGI" it made the movie feel soulless from a visual point of view. It would've been better if this movie had been made in traditional animation.
If you want to have dumbass soccer player, have him as a guest character. My guess is that some rich idiot bought SNK and is imposing things he likes on SNK product.
Mohammed bin Salman is that idiot. He also owns the soccer guy and is in a "partnership" to own the Valencia team. So basically, a rich idiot, bought his way into SNK and is forcing his wants and bribing his buddies and ruining the games. Fuck Mohammed bin Salman, Fuck Cristiano Ronaldo, and Fuck this bullshit. This will not attract new players. FIFA People will buy the game for the novelty factor and might not even play it.
Once the Ronaldinho bullshit wears out Fatal Fury will fade into obscurity once more.
Next KoF might end up getting a team of whatever celebs the Saudi Prince wants to kiss up to.
NECA Made M3gan... we need VICI for obvious reasons. Speaking of...
A part of me wants a NECA Bill Cosby. Yes, for all the jokes about Rapey Cosby... especially if it's Devil Cosby from The Devil and Max Devlin.
NECA has the rights to Elvis and Elton John... but statues. For Elvis and MEGO styled Elton John... I want 1:10 scaled versions of them.
Ooh! Gary Coleman... NECA should do Different Strokes Coleman and Super7 the cartoon Coleman that's an angel.
OK I want a Gary Coleman so he can referee the VICI and M3gan fight. Oh crap, I think I may be drunk... but Tomorrow's my day off, so screw it. I'll just stay inside and pretend I have a life!
My rant still stands: Jim Caveziel is WAY TOO OLD to be playing Jesus 3 Days after the Passion. Maia Morgenstern, who played Mary is 61... and it shots. Don't get me wrong, she's aesthetically pleasing for a 61 year old woman, but she doesn't look as well as her 38-39 year old self when Filming The Passion of the Christ 1.
Family Guy called it.
Waiting 22 years for a sequel for events that happened 3 days after the first one is a moronic move. Both Passion and Passion 2: Christian Boogaloo should've been filmed Back to Back.
Now we wait Jesus is He-Man... speaking of, where are my Jesus Figures from the Biblical Adventures Kickstarter?
This one is self explanatory. They'd be movie based but with a couple of nods to the Mattel toys. Jack, Ripper,Benedict, Danny, Whitney...
Mortal Kombat 95:
Plus Super7 gets parts reuse on the MK Ninjas: it's a win-win, Nefty!
Cade, what the Hell?
GameDude hello, videogames... that includes movie adaptations.
OK, whatever. But yeah. I just want a Linden Ashby as Cage, Connor Macleod as Raiden and Cary-Hiroyuki Tanaka as Shang Tsung. And the rest of MK1 folks.
Street Fighter 1994 The Movie and The Gane.
The reason I suggested the Gane is to get Ernie Reyes Sr. As Akuma. The movie is to get The Best part of the movie immortalized in plastic.
And getting figures of a 25 year old Kylie Minogue and a 30 year old Ming-Na Wen have nothing to do with that?
Uh... no, but they are welcome. Did you know that Ken is half Mexican?
So that makes him a MexiKen?
And Spanish Matador is Code Talker... in any case... do you agree this would be awesome?
The Old Man is screaming 'Yes! Yes!' So he agrees.
He has taste.
Vanilla Ice:
He's Turtle Adjacent. That's why I said the rant was 99.9% Turtle free. I'll leave the secret of the ooze version to meccaI'll leave The Secret Of The Ooze version to NECA.
Then maybe a Cool as Ice Vanilla Ice.
Weird Al Yankovic:
With Eat it alone you have 3 different Als.
I'd take an Amish Paradise Al... and the butter churner.
Masturbation jokes, how cute.
Shut up, Cade! I was going to make Paula Deen jokes.
Last but not least a Normal Weird Al figure with his accordion, a Grilled Cheese Sandwich, a Stop Motion Al from Jurassic Park video and an orange and grey toy dump truck. (If possible get the OK from Hasbro to get Ponified Weird Al as a substitute for the Cheese sandwich) rubber chicken! Yeah! Give Al a rubber chicken.
Forget everything I just said...
This is the Weird Al figure we need!
Old Spice dudes:
Remember the Old Spice ads?
Isaiah Mustsfa... then the ads got Terry Crews and there was an all out war going on?
Well, I do.
Dude, that sounds kinda gay... Why do you want a scantily clad Isiah Mustafa and Terry Crews?
Because, I can't ask for a White Chicks Terry Crews without asking for the whitewashed Wayans. Also I don't think that our wave of Brooklyn 99 figures would sell. I mean I would probably buy Jake, Amy, Captain Holt, but would definitely be getting Rosa, Terry, and Gina.
Surf Ninjas:
Yes, Ernie Reyes Jr. Is in this and so is Kelly Hu, but this isn't TMNT Related. I just watched the movie a few nights ago.
It has a small cast of characters:
The 2 princes( Johnny and Adam)
Iggy
Zatch
Lt. Spence
Ro-May
Colonel Chi
Chi's soldier (army builder)
Forged in Fire:
Yes, the History Channel Reality Show... or at least Doug Marcaida with lots of blades, an arm cast and a bandaged up right hand... most importantly
You want to spend $55 + S&H for a MEME!?
Yes. But I wouldn't mind getting the other Judges as well.
Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff:
As much as I dislike Will Smith, this is the only Will Smith figure. I would like to get... Add Jazxy Jeff just for him to get thrown out by the Shredder.
The Live Action soulless cash grab fever from Disney has hit Lilo and Stitch. Here's the trailer:
I know what you're thinking: "Nefty What the fuck is wrong with you? The trailer looked amazing. They even brought Stitch's voice actor to reprise the role. This actually looks good! Why do you say that it needs to be killed with fire?"
The answer is quite simple.Yes this looks good too good. This might even give disney the crazy idea that Live Action remakes is where the money is at. Remember the Lion King, Dumbo, Hermione and the Beast... all the other soulless cashgrabs that took a dump on the source material... ie Mulan.
They better hurry up with Hercules before James Woods croaks.
In any case... I'd rather watch Lilo and Stitch than Not Snow White.
Yeah... I'm not saying it's gonna suck, but... Where is the MOTU?
Pretty much EVERY MOTU fan has asked for a movie ON ETERNIA AND TO KEEP EARTH OUT!! What do the jeniuses working on the movie do? THEY DOUBLE DOWN ON EARTH!?
NO, YOU MORONS! THAT'S PRECISELY WHAT WE DON'T WANT!! How hard is take Star Wars and Conan to make sweet love and produce a beautiful child of sci-fi and fantasy?
At least the Power Sword looks nice.
Happy Valentine's day and why does Mattel hate me so much?
Hideo Kojima likes Joker 2. He of course has an artsy fartsy explanation in solving deconstruction of villains, which you can read on the link to Variety. To an extent I agree with him, but at the same time, it's Hideo Kojima. He always has pretentious exposition dunps everywhere.
The Troll 2 reference is intended, as I think it will suck... but I will most likely go watch it to fling popcorn at it.
Apparently, the Technodrome with shrinkage by Playmates that was exclusive to Amazon will be shipping in December... unless any other delays happen. It was supposed to come in October, but delayed.
Isaw a trailer for the latest Jean Reno movie. It made me feel old. Here's the trailer.
I saw the trailer and the moment I saw Jean Reno I felt a pain in my heart. This is Jean Reno...
This is what my brain automatically thinks of when you say Jean Reno... not some old beach bum befriending a fucking Penguin!
My brain refuses to accept reality as people get older and actors can't pull off roles that they could in their youth. And then we have guys like Schwarzenegger and Stallone who are Geriatric, but they still think they're in their 30s based on the roles they still do. Then again
This is not an attack on the Penguin movie... ir Jean Reno for that matter. It's an attack on how he's been typecast as a badass and then he's in family dramas or comedies. Subverting expectations makes my brain enter blue screen... But all jokes aside, it seems like a nice movie. One that I may see on streaming.
Netflix gave ne a warning about Beverly Hills Cop 4. I HAVE TO SEE THIS! IN before Nefty says: I want Beverly Hills Cop Ultimates, Super7!
Let's begin with a summary of my thoughts on the movie... it's a weird thing. It feels like a Beverly Hills Cop movie, but it kinda feels like it takes a few too many jabs at Beverly Hills Cop movies but it's not bad. I liked it more than III. Supposedly there may be a fifth.
I'm surprised at how young Eddie Murphy loves compared to the rest of his returning castmates. Also Kevin Bacon is in this. More moves for 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.
The Amazon Exclusive Technodrome preorders are OPEN! Better act fast! $79.99 For a supposedly slightly smaller clone of the original. If you didn't have one as a kid, like say me, then better act fast...
In any case remember to leave milk and cookies for Captain America.
After the awfulness that was Venom 2, we got a trailer for Venom 3:
I have no desire to go watch this movie. It doesn't seem interesting enough. We have a tease of Toxin, and some elements from King in Black but honestly, I don't want to see it. Sony's bad Direction with Spider-Man characters without Spider-Man in their movies has turned me off towards a lot of their product. I won't see Venom at the movie theaters, Craven is running the same fate. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'd rather have an Amazing Spider-Man 3 movie. Honestly I'd nuke everything and restart from scratch in 2025.
I'm not going to pretend that I'm a huge cinephile and mention my top five Roger Corman movies that aren't Fantastic Four, because I'm not exactly sure if I've seen more than three Roger Corman movies and that is counting Fantastic Four. Piranha is one... wait He only produced Fantastic Four... Piranha it is...
Now movies PRODUCED by Corman is a different story. SYFY was kept alive by Corman's productions. Corman alsp discovered some of the big names that are on their twilight right now. Hopefully I won't have to write about them this year.
May he rest in peace and my condolences to friends and family.
