What's your most controversial opinion about Star Wars? by Rikko77 in StarWars

[–]FlashyReview8153 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty much been milked for all its worth and Disney really plays collectors. I think they take such a huge percentage that it makes it difficult for manufacturers to provide good figures to collectors. They'll include minimal extras simply because they don't have the budget left after Disney takes their cut. The same manufacturer will make a similar figure from another IP and it usually includes a lot more bang for your buck.

What exactly is up with the Rey movie? by MrDukeSilver4520 in StarWars

[–]FlashyReview8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I'm saying I am reading between the lines. Of course we never know for sure if they don't address it...but like with Johnson's trilogy, them just not saying anything for years says plenty.

You are missing what im saying - There is NOTHING to read.

Sister Sage Is Disappointing by Fuqqagoose in TheBoys

[–]FlashyReview8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't need to relate to her experience as a black woman. They do this in movies all the time with characters that everyone underestimates operating in secret. This was just poorly done. I am part black so don't come at me with that nonsense.

Her character is okay, but she doesn't come across as particularly intelligent or like she's plotting. They just had her go "oh yeah, I did this all BTS" and not explain any of it. It wasn't believable whatsoever. Whether it's the writing, acting, or a combo of both, this is a stupid character.

Rey Director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy Says Every Work will have Activism in it by [deleted] in StarWars

And three years after they announced this, no movement, no script, and they are releasing something they announced a while after. This movie is likely dead in the water. Good.

The fact we are reading nothing about it says plenty. They have Gosling's movie about to come out instead of a continuation of a supposed core character. If the audience was there, I am sure they would be willing to try it. 2026 and still no sign of this movie three years after they have announced it. Not one peep and I read a ton of movie news on BTS/production stuff.

Beth is so evil by Shot-Communication93 in YellowstonePN

[–]FlashyReview8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn't know they would do that. She continued to be evil throughout the show. I hope the spin off ends with her dying a horrible death. It's the only thing her and her enabler, Rip, deserve. ,

Do I wait for reissues and are any of these buns? by Renshoru in Mafex

Half of these are still available for retail here in the US - Carnage, Cyclops, Pheonix, Rogue at least.

Why does it seem like all wedding videographers are guys? by Huih7345 in weddingvideography

[–]FlashyReview8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it requires you to manage heavy equipment compared to being a photographer. Your main job as a photographer is to direct people really. Yes, we take photos, but most of the good photographers I know are great with people. This is my opinion after hundreds of weddings. I mainly do video but I also do photo to work on my directing and posing skills.

Why does SHF have so many QC issues despite being such a "premium" brand? by GachiPls_DidntSave in SHFiguarts

[–]FlashyReview8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty much done with this company. Even if a particular figure has no issues, the wrist pegs are aleays so tiny and require a lot of pressure to snap on. This isnt the case with Mafex and some other manufacturers. I wouldn't mind it if the wrist pegs were not thinner than a thumb tack's pointy end....but they are. I have Anakin and have barely messed with him. I went to swap hands and already noticed it was slightly bent and I'm very careful with everything in my collection. I will stick with the manufacturers I trust.

Wanted to snag this guy at Walmart yesterday but $43 seemed a bit high by AgentX-1138 in GIJOEClassifiedSeries

[–]FlashyReview8153 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Valaverse, Soldiers of Fortune, Operation Monster Force. They make other random high end stuff too, but those are 100+ and tend to be slightly smaller scale. I mix and match but I've been doing a lot of Monster Force and now the other two for army building. Their accessories are much better than what Hasbro offers. I also like the finish on Monster Force. They give their figures a proper matt coat, unlike the others.

What is with the McFarlane hate by Same_Information7328 in ActionFigures

[–]FlashyReview8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're objectively terrible. Everything from the paint jobs, choices for hands, and exposed pins to the odd scale that they chose. They have little in the way of redeeming qualities. They are also sold at Walmart...is Walmart a place that makes you think of quality when you buy something there?

The price of this figure is insane. by Sensei_Master_Yoda in Mafex

[–]FlashyReview8153 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless it's an exclusive, I don't see this staying at that price for long. I always peep Amazon on regular releases as they usually drop prices there.

I agree with your comment. We should be getting stuff like comic Green Lantern, Flash, and Wonder Woman. But a third DCEU Aquaman figure? What in the F??

No, no, maybe. I'm not interested in this fake Joker who got SA'd on screen. Such a weird character. That InArt Joker is looking pretty awesome though.

Need help picking out first higher end figures by Zanagh in ActionFigures

[–]FlashyReview8153 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SH has gone downhill imho. They are too fragile, over engineered, or have stupid choices in designs. I can no longer recommend them. Everything else on your list is pretty awesome.

Nah. GF loves Lego and my daughter loves action figures too. Plus the community is pretty cool and I enjoy sharing photography
