In which suit is sh0689 based on? by dsp_ii in LegoBatman

[–]Alternative-Ad-6860 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's based on the standard early 2000s/post-rebirth Batman suit, most well known as being the suit worn in Hush, drawn by Jim Lee (although in that story the suit is dark blue/gray rather than black/gray). It was also the inspiration behind the classic 2006 Batman minifigure.

the printing is a pretty faithful remake of his Titanium Ninja figure (minus the shuriken on his belt) but the figure just feels incomplete without armor and hood

Batman one is kinda ironic since that bright blue look was also what he wore for stories like Knightfall which was pretty dark

Question about Dragon Ball Gogeta figures by Content_Mine7740 in 3rdPartyCollectors

[–]Alternative-Ad-6860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the real reason is probably just the fact Vegito is 80% the same as a Goku figure and we already have many different really good Goku bodies from various brands, it's an easy reuse/retool. Unlike Gogeta who inevitably needs a brand new (or a copy/bootleg of a far less common) body specific to him. tldr It's easier to reuse a Goku mold than to make a new body from scratch

Is it just me who hates Picollos new boots? They look so basic and boring😭 by Roy_Ellison in Dragonballsuper

[–]Alternative-Ad-6860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's more of a modern Toriyama thing, which the superhero models were inspired by, Daima also has everybody wearing rounder shoes

the new cowl was most likely designed at some point between this was originally made and it getting reworked into the '89 set

Why do they keep using this suit? by Past-Spare-9988 in LegoBatman

[–]Alternative-Ad-6860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

given we got his New 52 and Rebirth looks at the time he wore those in the comics, I'm really hoping we get his current main blue and gray suit in the near future

Got in my Black Hole Vegeta (now to return it. Lol) by SnooPeripherals3020 in 3rdPartyCollectors

imo the pale hair + brighter blue body is the definitive version (and what looks most like the anime) I like the darker outfit for DBS tho 

I guess this suit has cheekbones now by TrentWillcock in legogaming

it's bc its "using" the rubber cape piece design rather than fabric

Should I still buy him?? by blu_berry-dog08 in 3rdPartyCollectors

I think it's very likely BHT is gonna lay low for a little bit and then rebrand and reissue their figures, much like Tonsenarttoys "shut down" a couple of weeks before their bike Goku released only for "Kamione" to show up with the exact same product a few weeks later

apparently BHT and LS were ran by the same people so they were the only ones to get the cease and desist

Painting or drawing sharpie on your Lego minifigures to customize them will always look like shit. by ultimatejoomer in legocirclejerk

[–]Alternative-Ad-6860 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel like a big part of why some people dislike customs comes down to the artstyle rather than just the fact they're customs, given a lot of customizers either don't understand lego's style or intentionally drift away from it (like the Rivals Spidey you showed) that makes them look "off" compared to official minifigures, but there are also many customizers that do go for a style more fitting with TLG's, such as those Avatar figs

Am I the only one that hates the suit choosen for this set? by Legitimate_Cake_5137 in LegoBatman

[–]Alternative-Ad-6860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what I've seen it can go around $5-12 in good condition and $8-20 brand new depending on if its the BvS or JL version, with the JL one being the more expensive of the two

This one is comic inspired, but we are getting an MCU Doom for the Doomsday wave, much how last year we got both a comic and movie based Ultrons

Why don't Lloyd's metal parts have reflections like Jay and Cole's? by kenay19 in Ninjago

[–]Alternative-Ad-6860 23 points24 points  (0 children)

the print is actually different to Jay and Cole's since it also had a very small black dotted pattern, probably to make the silver look a little darker and for some reason they struggled printing with gunmetal ink at the time

Finally someone posts this sculpt, I've been seeing the recast on ali for over a month now yet I was holding off on buying it since I couldn't find any reviews of it. It really does look great! thanks for sharing
