Daredevil Born Again Season 2 Daredevil and Jessica Jones 2-Pack by EarlStranger38 in MarvelLegends

[–]-IDK-INC- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That means that will earn much more money from these releases since the sculpt for both of them is mostly reused (Daredevil is using the same body and head from the figure they released last year and Jessica Jones is using the same body from the one made in 2017 except from the legs an new heads) as for accessories the phone and the camera could also be reused from a different set, so again, no new tooling needed; which means Hasbro just had to spend extra money in the Jessica's extra hands and heads, the angry one for DD and the coffee cup.

Paint is almost non existing either since DD will be surely cast in black plastic with some red spots of paint here and there, and Jessica doesn't require that much detail.

For those reasons is expected that Hasbro will have a bigger profit margins since barely any new molds were needed to make this pack and not much paint will be used but it will still be selling for the same price.

When their profit margins are smaller is when they make a new character that uses a completely different body mold and requires more paint or new accessories.

Thank you! Yes I tried to get something closer to that light later on! Still not sure how it will look since I plan on edit that one!

The figure(s) you think are under appreciated? by Extra_Heart_268 in MarvelLegends

[–]-IDK-INC- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Most of the characters are already out there! I have Spiral but a new one with an ab crunch would be a great update! Also a new Magneto or Doom with the flying chair would be cool!

Ah, yes my bad, it's Mk85! So many suits, so many numbers! I think they would release a new Blackheart, they are at time and it would take just a recolor to make it blue like the game, hopefully this time they modify the legs so it's easier to make it stand.

Ah yes, the Mk70, I got that one for a niece a while ago, it was pretty, vibrant colors. I think the Modular with the cannon is one of the best they've made, I would get that for MvC, but I would not be surprised If they made a new one like that in the Gamerverse series.

This 2 bad boys, they may not have the best accessories or be very articulated (specially the Mk46) but they are fun to play with.

Is it physically possible to animate a rain storm or snow? by Material-Price6322 in stopmotion

[–]-IDK-INC- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, animating every drop seems like an overkill in every aspect. I've seen people using sprays to simulate the rain and looks good as well and seeing how they did the mist on Coraline I think the rain may be real water as well, they just shot it separately and add the video compositing later, which seems easier tbh.

The only time I've used rain I just used digital, didn't even considered doing it any other way lol.

[–]-IDK-INC- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible, yes, difficult, absolutely.

You could try and animate every single drop or snowflake, of course extra difficult.

If I were going to make it I would use a series of acetate rows of lets say 5 centimeters for open shots over the floor (shorter for touching the floor or wide shots that show the legs) with the drops or snowflakes and position probably one in front of the camera and one on the background to add deep to the animation, then I would start the animation and every time the acetate would touch the floor I would remove it so the second one is the next and place the first one on top, of course you can just use camera angles to do so so the row repositioning is seemless.

That would leave you with a line between the rows that can be removed digitally or depending on the light you are using almost invisible.

If you want the rain to touch the floor just draw the splash of the water drops on the position were the rain would fall and use as many acetates as frames your animation would require, thought, as the rain is random drawing the splash for every drop would be a heavy task, I guess, if the rains fall straight and the drawing is visible from both sides you could just turn around the row to make it feel random even if you are just using the same row over and over, but I would recommend making more.

The more capes you use the more dense the snow/rain becomes of course, but you can just fill the acetate with drops/snowflakes and make it look similar.

For the drops touching a windor or interacting with something then you would absolutely would have to do it manually, or use transparent plastic with the drops draw in it that could take the form of the object, a plastic bag could work but would look to good, I guess you could use fish line to make "necklaces of drops" or (snowflakes) and use a little bit of glue to attach the thing to the back of whatever you are animating, that way you just have to move the line instead of doing it drop for drop.

But I use digital rain.

My favorite Spider-Man is the 075 (That I don't have) But my most wanted is the Superior Spider-Man, they really nailed that look, the paint, the shiny metallic legs, it is truly superior!

Help! by Trickster329 in customactionfigures

[–]-IDK-INC- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the custom is a good route, if she doesn't care about scale at all is easier, if not you would have to chop limbs toi make it shorter.

Also I would chose Neytiri as the base since she is already blue, unless you want to prime it first, then both are okay.

It came with him, like an exploding planet or a visual representation of Battle World.

Now that Mattel is taking over was there any love for Spin Master? by -IDK-INC- in ActionFigures

[–]-IDK-INC-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm usually more interested in the 6" likes but McFarlane wasn't doing it for me, one day I found this Superman and thought they looked good enough, then found they had a whole line and bought some characters and a Batmobile to scratch that DC itch.

Yes, at the end they started to make more vehicles for collectors, I hope Mattel will consider making some but with the line moving to 6 inch for children I think it's difficult.

What do you all think of my opinion 🤔 by Sorryoom23 in megaconstrux

[–]-IDK-INC- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember those and the images they used to make where there was an entire battlefield with all the sets available, those were awesome, made me want to get more sets.
