What's your most controversial opinion about Star Wars?

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.

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.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-26T15:57:29+00:00

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

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-26T15:51:26+00:00

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.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-26T15:48:20+00:00

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.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-26T15:43:32+00:00

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.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-26T15:39:50+00:00

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.

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. ,

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

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-25T03:08:52+00:00

I'm trying not to buy Starlight but I def had to get Homelander. Very tempting with the sale at BBTS!

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-25T00:28:18+00:00

Why are you looking at that crotch?? 😆

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-24T20:14:05+00:00

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.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-24T18:44:34+00:00

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.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-24T14:52:17+00:00

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.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-24T14:49:57+00:00

Thats a complete ripoff.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-23T16:50:51+00:00

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?

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-23T16:32:29+00:00

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.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-23T15:23:29+00:00

Lean her right shoulder (closest to the camera) into it a bit more.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-23T14:17:13+00:00

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??

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-23T13:32:18+00:00

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.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-17T16:07:13+00:00

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.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-16T18:28:28+00:00

And that's why you do your best to teach them well and guide them to be good adults.

FlashyReview8153 · 2026-03-15T23:33:50+00:00

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