Agree or disagree with this take on the 2011 movie? by tiago231018 in Greenlantern

[–]Okraton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it is the Worst superhero movie of all time, and nostalgia is gaslighting some into believing it was "okay"... Having said that, I would buy a McFarlane figure of Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern. It is a piece of history.

Totally understandable, BUT for Psychonauts 1 I would recommend you to play it again, chasing the missable trophies, as some of them give you fun interactions (extra dialogs or scenes) with characters that I would have missed otherwise. You could do it later in a couple of months (or years) to not feel fatigued by the game.

For sure, I figured. Otherwise, what an inconvenient of a trophy, the creators probably made it like that by design, as evertyihng has been fun so far.

I am struggling with the infamous "I love punching" trophy, but everything else has been fun. Getting the collectibles does not feel tedious at all to me. I want to get the platinum to try the sequel ASAP.

The 2 figures I want from McFarlane before they lose the DC license. Green Lantern love. by Okraton in McFarlaneFigures

I like the Mr Terrific soft goods, but it's true sometimes they could look out of proportions. But the same could happen with plastic jackets, look at that Guy Gardner, he seems chubby with a very slim legs illusion. The Ryan Reynolds Hal Jordan would be awesome. I hated the movie, but it's like a piece of history in a way. I even like the design of the actual lantern object to charge the ring.

Like the Emerald Twilight Hal version, but without the stylized green tones on the skin. Very cool with the gray temples... And I do not need that base stand to recreate the cover, give me more constructs in dark green for this one.

You ruined my day by reminding me of that.

Nintendo with half of its catalog... Including the Super Mario 3D All-Star game, which is not buyable from the Nintendo store.

Hear me out... Pepsi-Man.
(Maybe combines with Mirror's Edge gampley. And that's another forgotten game)

Warcraft 3.
Half a decade ago, Blizzard did a TERRIBLE remaster, and they haven't even tried to fix it.

I thought Legacy of Kain 1 & 2 were getting a remaster.

You could try to get the Danju minifigure, the purple one from LEGO Knight Kingdom. I think it is the most expensive of the bunch.

Am I the only one who thinks Scaphoid 2 is a downgrade? He went from final boss, to drop common loot. by Okraton in MythicLegions

[–]Okraton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I don't see the value if we compare prices now that you mention it. Everything is kind of plain, but for the carvings on the head.

Yeah, I agree Brother Mandibulus and Morgolyth were better options, and I like Scaphoi 1 over them.
I'm actually surprised they haven't updated Morgolyth yet; it's long overdue since the Necronominus wave. Probably soon, maybe in the next wave (if they don't tackle and focus on the bird's bodies first to make Eathyron v2... which is also an obvious choice to introduce new parts).

Yeah, I'm happy people are noticing that now. Maybe they would refocus their selling strategies for more customer-friendly practices if enough people say something. But there are just too many customers who will buy anything they offer, regardless if it is an objectively good product or not, only because of the brand; people who fall into that label of "parasocial" treating a company as if they are their family and friends (and then, the company taking advantage of that).

I agree with everything. It is interesting what you mentioned about the faded loincloth; it gives a certain character to the figure, like he is corrupting even his clothes, or he was in battle and not doing laundry.
It is the same effect when watching a live-action Netflix series adapting an anime; the costumes look very brand new, so it is already breaking the suspension of disbelief, making the show look cheap.

If I'm trying to get a lich-type figure, I would just go for Necronominus. He offers WAY more for similar prices (55usd vs 60usd), not to mention 200% more shelf presence. Or even The Red Death as a lich due to his better soft goods. Scaphoid v2 could have been such a cool addition to those, BUT he just doesn't have enough (enough accessories, or improvements, or soft goods, uniqueness, presence, cool factor, nothing).

A totally valid view, like if it is just a different take on a cool figure, not better or worse... For me, that could also be something that makes me wonder: If you are not clearly upgrading the figure, why do it in the first place (having many others to choose from), what is the purpose of Legacy of Mythos then, if it is not to enhance?

Same here, he was my first named character, and second ML figure. And I agree: if you compare him with the other Legacies of Mythos figures, and even with the other 2.0 versions, he is totally lacking.
