Leonardo Dicaprio Cheers

I might just log off for the week. :)

Cheers Freedom supporters! :{D

The Mk VI armor looks cool in the cinematics from 4. Like when Chief steps in that ring to remove his armor towering over all the scientists.

Who did chakotay show that pic to of himself working at one of those Enterprise car places? Does anybody have it? It'd be funny to rustle his jimmies with it. Lol

But that's just a rip off of Iron Man??? lol I just hate how smooth they went. They bridged the gap between human design and forerunner design too fast.

No it's supposedly a real place called D2Renterprise. It may just be a website.

I have "his" pic. Who knows if it's him?

I'm starting to think he's a masochist. And that would mean he's probably the panty dude.

He just commented to me a moment ago. :{D

Dude you are COMPLETELY missing my point. My original point was that the GAMES 1-3, were not politically driven like the new ones. I'm not sure why you're going into what the books say when I was talking about the GAMES only. I'm talking about how the first 3 games were driven by pure action while the new ones are filled with stupid bullshit about oni wanting to stop Chief which had taken the fun out of it. And Johnson was a prototype Spartan, which is why he's normal size and doesn't wear armor, and the GAME doesn't say he is a spartan anyway. Chief is humanity's last hope. THAT'S what Halo was about and what made it the first 3 games fun. Whatever story there was to tell is fine for the books, but I'm saying that not only is the story f**king stupid now with oni and agent locke, but that they've strayed away from the original games formula. 343 has intentially done that by hiring people who either didn't like or play the original Halo games like I already said to make them more like CoD and it's bullshit. That was my point.

And that's exactly why I brought up ST. Their plots are action driven, just like the first 3 Halo games, they're not about people sitting around discussing politics.

OBVIOUSLY wars are political, but there's a big difference between the plots of Starship Troopers and a movie like Lincoln.

You're talking about the new games, post-Bungie. I'm talking about Bungie's Halo franchise. Before 4-how ever many they make.

The books I'm talking about were written in conjunction with the games to help sell the game and to promote the Halo polkitical ideals at that time which was more conservative.

343 new stuff is more liberal. We agree on that and that they messed up the storyline after that by making Chief the bad guy in a way.

The "Chief is humanity's last hope" aspect is just for the 1-3 games as motivation for the player, not a true fact in the storyline. And I was clearly saying that all this time.

The games have always been political, it's just the newer ones are so much more openly lame because of the modern agendas.

But 1-3 and ODST and Reach were definitely about the War on Terror.

I understood your point clearly too Sith.

The argument isn't that I don't/didn't. It's that you're saying the games aren't political or propaganda. They are. Since the first Halo CE.

And the books are as canon as the games too in Bungie's eyes.

But I get that you only played the games and collected figures and that you have your own opinions about it.

Again, you seem like you're agitated over something, and I don't know what it was, but I didn't intend any ill-will your way. :{D

I have read a book and know the story, my point was about the new games being bogged down with politics while the first 3 were not. Again, I was only ever talking about the GAMES relating to the gameplay, pacing, cinematics, and overall fun factor. They were about killing aliens. And Chief WAS humanity's last hope. PERIOD.

How do you not understand my point that Lincoln and Starship Troopers are different?

Then you're misunderstanding my use of the word political.

You're stating your opinion of the game's intent. Not the actual intent. Which is fine.

I'm saying that Bungie, the game's maker, isn't saying that Chief is the only hope, that he doesn't do what he does by himself without any help/aid, and that there are other heroes/spartans in the game's story as well as the novels. And I am only talking about pre-Halo 4.

And you misunderstood the point of Starship Troopers. The film and the novel.

You also didn't mention Lincoln until these last two comments.

Of course Lincoln is different from SST, it's a political historical fiction, not a political science fiction.

You're equating political to long dialogue about politics essentially. I'm being more broad in my use.

Starship Troopers is an action film with geo-socio-political commentary. But mainly political commentary on future ideals. As in how a government could be ran.

Halo 1-3/ODST/Reach are ALL political in the same way as SST the film(the novel too, but the film alone for argument's sake).

The games have action because they're FPS video games. No one denied that.

But it isn't solely action.

Look, we disagree on this and won't see eye to eye on it. I'm firm in my view of it and feel like I've more than proven my point. It's cool that you don't see it. :{(

Nothing I've said is "wrong" and YOU are misunderstanding me when I said that Bungie's Halo and ST aren't "about" politics. I used Lincoln as an example to try to help you understand.

I never said that Bungie's Halo games or ST didn't INVOLVE politics, just that they aren't about politics, meaning that politics are only in the background, while the foreground is purely adrenaline filled action. The presentation of the new fake Halo games play out like Lincoln, with the cinematics featuring people discussing their political agendas and I'm saying that the presentation of Halo 1-3 plays out like ST, while there is politics in the BACKGROUND, the focus is on action and fun. Do you see what I'm saying? It's just a little insulting saying that wars are political. Obviously I know that.

Again, I wasn't intending insult.

I still see you as wrong on this. I still see you as misunderstanding the Halo games and the SST film.

We disagree and probably won't agree on this. :{

The fact that the presentation of a film like Lincoln and Starship Troopers are somehow the same to you blows my mind. How am I wrong that the original Halo games or Starship Troopers focus isn't on politics? The cinematics in 1-3 and Starship Troopers were about telling an action story, while half of the new fake Halo games cinematics involve people standing around talking political agendas like Lincoln or any political drama film. You're getting into the books when I'm talking about the actual games and their presentation, and in 1-3 the focus is on action not politics, plain and simple. I don't misunderstand anything about Halo.

And Bungie would tell you that their concept for Chief was that he WAS humanity's last hope.

YOU are saying that Lincoln and SST are the same though Sith, not me.

You're wrong on this, and I still disagree with you.

Or at least, you haven't provided anything that would convince me that you're right.

I'm sorry if that bothers you. :{

What "valid" points have you made? And you're the one that couldn't accept that your opinions aren't facts. You haven't proven anything except that for some reason you thought you were playing "Halo: Politics Evolved" instead of "Halo: Combat evolved".

And you are wrongfully extrapolating from my point about the Halo 1-3 games and Starship Troopers not being about politics that I literally meant there were no politics involved.

Dude you're obviously pissed off about something.

Either spit it out or drop this.

I don't know why you're so offended by me pointing out your errors. :{

You've only pointed out errors in your mind though, not in reality.

Sorry that you're wrong.

So why are you avoiding answering what you're mad about? :{

Dude, YOU'RE the one who didn't understand MY use of "politics" when I said Halo 1-3 and ST aren't about politics.

Sorry, they're action driven, not politically driven.

And you're still wrong and not convincing dude. Sorry. :{

No, you're still wrong. Because they're not about politics, they're about FUN and ACTION, you know those things that are opposites of politics? And your attempt to make the original Halo seem political by saying it was a metaphor for 9/11 is wrong. The covenant were conceptualized way before 9/11.

And I'm still waiting for those "political cinematics". Oh, that's right you can't find any because they were all about Chief being a badass and telling an ACTION story.

Being condescending is only making my points look more valid. And making you look like you're angry.

Sith, I don't know what's gotten into you, but you do seem like you're in a bad mood.

Maybe, you should accept that I disagree with you? :{

?????? How am I saying that Lincoln and Starship Troopers are the same? I've said that they're OPPOSITES in how they handle politics. One is a political drama with politics as the focus, the other is an action movie with politics in the background. This applies to the original Halo games compared to the new fake ones.

Sorry but you're wrong about it. Find some cinematics from Halo 1 with people discussing politics like the new fake ones.

And Chief was humanity's last hope. Just because he had help doesn't change that.

Sith, I seriously don't get why you're doing this.

"The fact that the presentation of a film like Lincoln and Starship Troopers are somehow the same to you blows my mind. "

This is you saying that you think I think that Lincoln and SST are similar. I DID NOT. YOU DID.

That was my point with me saying that you're saying they're the same. You're putting your words in my mouth. I never said or agreed that those two films are similar or the same. All I said was they are both political. Not that they both have dialogue about politics.

"I've said that they're OPPOSITES in how they handle politics."

Oh, so now Halo/SST has politics? See? You said they weren't political and had no politics the first few comments.

You're still wrong Sith. And I still disagree with you on this and see you as misunderstanding Halo and SST.

There's nothing more I can do to convince you, and you haven't been able to convince me. :{

"Oh, so now Halo/SST has politics? See? You said they weren't political and had no politics the first few comments."

Have you even been reading my comments? Here is what I said earlier dude:

"I never said that Bungie's Halo games or ST didn't INVOLVE politics, just that they aren't about politics, meaning that politics are only in the background, while the foreground is purely adrenaline filled action."

I haven't changed my stance so don't try to make it seem like I have. Nothing I've said is "wrong". You just aren't able to comprehend that Halo 1-3 were about action and fun, just like Starship Troopers and not about politics.

"Nah, Chief was the last spartan in Bungie's Halo. No propaganda. The real Halo is about kicking alien ass, not politics."

You did say that.

"Saying the 1-3 game stories were political is like saying Starship Troopers are political movies."

You said that.

You also said that they aren't about politics.

So then saying something about how they handled politics is going against your previous comments.

You may not be flip flopping, but you are misunderstanding a lot.

Like how I have tried for the last few comments to stop the argument.

And yes, you've said a lot that is wrong/incorrect/erroneous.

I'm sorry Sith, but I disagree with you on this and see you as misunderstanding the two franchises.

And until you say something convincing, I think you are wrong still. Sorry. :{

""Nah, Chief was the last spartan in Bungie's Halo. No propaganda. The real Halo is about kicking alien ass, not politics."

You did say that.

"Saying the 1-3 game stories were political is like saying Starship Troopers are political movies."

You said that.

You also said that they aren't about politics."

I literally just told you that when I said they weren't ABOUT politics, I'm saying that they're not political stories. Nothing you just quoted proves your case and I stand by it all. Halo 1-3 and ST aren't ABOUT politics dude. And telling someone they're wrong isn't a way to stop an argument.

You're wrong Sith.

Anyone who knows SST knows it's ALL about politics. Just because people aren't having conversations/dialogue about politics doesn't mean a film/game isn't political.

Political =

a)of or relating to the government or the public affairs of a country.
b)of or relating to the ideas or strategies of a particular party or group in politics.
c)interested in or active in politics.
d)motivated or caused by a person's beliefs or actions concerning politics.
e)relating to, affecting, or acting according to the interests of status or authority within an organization rather than matters of principle.

You must be thinking "political" as a genre or style to jump to Lincoln being what I meant by political.

But if a game is all about you, a soldier, fighting a war against a religious enemy faction and trying to stop a WMD, THEN IT IS POLITICAL. I'm sorry that political means something else to you in this argument.

SST and Halo are BOTH political stories/games/films/etc. They ALSO have action in them. But you know what? SST has sex in it and isn't a porno. Halo has the flood in it but isn't a zombie genre game.

You're taking the word political and only applying one definition to it in this argument.

And Sith, I wasn't ending the argument saying that you're wrong, I was saying we disagree and won't agree.

me saying that I still think you're wrong is me reiterating my side. That's it. I'm not trying to say you're stupid or anything derogatory by saying you are wrong.

It's fine that you only see the gameplay mechanics of Halo and the Hollywood genre stereotype of SST as a film, but you saying they don't have politics or aren't political is wrong.

And I NEVER said they are each political genre franchises. So please don't think I mean that either.

So again, I firmly believe/know you're wrong on this.

You disagree.

We won't see eye to eye.

And unless you could find something to further add that IS convincing, I won't agree with you on this.

Please don't hate me for saying you're wrong. :{

Seriously, just try to say the sentence, "Starship Troopers is a political film" with a straight face.

Dude, what is your problem? :{

Lol, I replied too.

343 sucks bigtime. They've hired people who don't like Halo or know anything about to develop and test the new games in order to intentionally make it different and more like CoD. And they've ruined the story. Chief used to be the last Spartan trying to save humanity and you felt like a badass. Now they have the new Spartan program which I guess makes sense, but it takes the mystique away. And they've politicized the story, making it where some of the UNSC thinks he needs to be stopped which is what 5 is about. I was out after 4 and it's going to stay that way.

In the story, Chief may not have been the single last Spartan though. That could have been ONI using him as propaganda.

It also made sense to reestablish the Spartan program in the story. So I don't fault them for that.

I just hate the move to a more Forerunner styled design.

Yeah that bs agenda stuff they do in games and film now is really annoying. Chief represents America and America needs to be reigned in by the UN. That kind of thinking.

F**k the UN. And f**k anyone who hates on America.

I'm about to check over there at your comment bro! X{D

Nah, Chief was the last spartan in Bungie's Halo. No propaganda. The real Halo is about kicking alien ass, not politics.

Halo is TOTALLY about geopolitics/the UN agenda RS.

It's all a propagandized game to promote fighting Islam. It always has been. lol

It's a game where basically America in space fights alien Muslims in a holy war.

How can you not know that?!? :P

It's also kind of saying that religion/spirituality is crazy to an extent despite all the Biblical references and 7's.

It's super obvious that Bungie is referring to the war of terrorism in those games and that DARPA/DOD/Military promoted and funded games like Halo and COD to help drum up new soldiers.

Not that I'm against the military in anyway, I'm just not turning a blind eye to this obvious propaganda.

As far as Cheif being the "last" Spartan, no he isn't. Sergeant Johnson is a Spartan for one thing.

And the novels are "canon" and they have several other Spartans. Kurt for instance.

The concept of him being the "last" is to manipulate him through ONI's trickling down of info in game. They tell him he's the last of his "kind" and he fights like hell.

Have you read any of the novels? Like Fall of Reach, Ghosts of Onyx, Harvest, etc?

On the 3d Printing, I thought it was a really neat video. I wish TTM had more to show us in that video though. Like a 3d printed Falcon cargo hold playset/diorama. Or the Cantina at least. But still very cool. :{

No dude you're wrong. The ORIGINAL Halo was not about politics. It was simply a super soldier fighting aliens. It wasn't about oni and all this bullshit. Johnson isn't wearing spartan armor. I know they added that to his background, or if it was his story from the beginning, then they didn't mention it in the GAMES. Chief being the last spartan isn't propaganda. It was a fact at the time. Bungie's Halo games were about a human alien war, not politics dude.

I'm sorry Sith but YOU are wrong on this.

The game was released a month and a half after 9/11 and is about a religious government of aliens(Covenant) attacking humans in a holy war.

JUST like the terrorists attacking us on 9/11 in Jihad.

You'd be a fool to deny the obviousness of this FACT.

Johnson was also a Spartan from the very beginning IN THE STORYLINE.

Fall of Reach came out a month BEFORE the game, so Bungie INTENDED on this "canon".

The whole Halo franchise was thought up AFTER 9/11 and for the specific purpose to gen up more soldiers willing to fight a religious enemy.

And again, Chief was NEVER the last Spartan. He/the player is only told that for motivation.

You're wrong on this one Sith. Absolutely wrong if you can't see what I'm talking about. Sorry dude. :{

Dude, Bungie's games don't have a political storyline involving Chief. 2 and 3 delved into the Covanent's politics, but that's it. The stories weren't politically driven like 4-5 and on. They were about Chief blasting aliens. Saying the 1-3 game stories were political is like saying Starship Troopers are political movies. I don't care what the books say about Johnson, the GAMES never said he was.

Wtf does 9/11 have to do with Halo? The story was developed years before that.

OMFG! You don't think Starship Troopers is a political movie?!?

Look, it almost seems like you're intentionally disagreeing with me.

I don't know what I did that has irritated you or whatever, but I didn't mean to do whatever it was.

If you're Jewish/Arab or something, I'm not a racist/anti-semite/homophobe/sexist or a nazi or anything.

It seems really weird that you're denying the obvious political themes in the franchise.

Bungie hired Eric Nylund to write FoR, they even turned it into a game.

Bungie, the makers/writers of Halo say you're wrong.

It's cool if you mean that in your mind that's how it is, but it is a political game. Any war game is political. LOTR and SW are political. And you don't see Halo OR Starship Troopers as political?

Do you see how Halo ripped off Starship Troopers? If you don't, you're wrong there too.

I'm feeling like I made you mad at some point, and you want me to give you space or leave you alone, like maybe you think I'm clingy or something, but, I'm gonna let you have your space cause, I didn't mean to or think that I did anything to be rude or mean or hurt your feelings dude.

And if that sounds weird or something, sorry. I disagree about the Halo/SST stuff you said, TFA/RO, and that's all I can think of. Sorry again if I did something uncool. :{D

Oh yeah, and I watched some of that video you linked. Interesting to hear about the process.

Yeah it could get crazy here.

Hey check out these videos bashing some of the shitty black series figures and comparing them to better versions it's pretty funny:

http://youtu.be/_E3ivizmKaI

That's not really a good or fair comparison though.

SH is an Asian company for one thing. They tend to have high detail and poseability. But at a higher price due to importation.

And that guy is being unfair to the Hasbro figures. That was one figure that may have made it past quality control.

I was in Wal-Mart and Target recently looking at the Hasbro SW stuff and noticed that the figures varied in paint apps.

For me, the articulation being seen is really no problem. I'm not the kind of guy who wants to pretend like they aren't action figures. And the cost increase for the artist to sculpt the figures that try to hide the articulation over the figures that don't is significant.

I have several Japanese import figures, mainly Revoltech Neon Genesis Evangelion, and although they're nice, they're fragile and they cost way too much for plastic figures.

I also don't like how they waste money on the swap out parts on figures under 1/6th scale. You could probably have two figures instead if they left out the swap out parts and didn't try to hide articulation.

I thought both figures were neat. And since I'm a customizer/modder, they would both need touch ups.

I'm going to sub that channel though. It still was neat seeing the review done in a similar manner to others I've seen in article forms.

Have you ever wondered why they call the series "The Black"? I tried to google it yesterday and couldn't find an answer. :{

It had more to do with the paint job though. The BS figure (BS takes on another meaning in this case) is just bad overall. The number of bad figures has gone way up since the Disney sale. There was always a shitty figure here and there but not like this, and especially not with a line meant to be high quality like the BS.

I'm not sure the meaning behind the name. Check out this Vader comparison:

http://youtu.be/B9MlMCQD4sw

Dang. I was hoping you knew why they called it Black.

I still think that part of the blame is he got a figure that happened to have a worse paint app than others, but I do see his and your points about the figures.

I have several of the pre-Disney Build-A-Droid astromechs and I had family go to disneyland and while they were there I got them to pick up the R6, 8, 9, and 0(from TFA actually) figures and there is a HUGE difference in paint apps and sculpting.

They are definitely cutting corners on the action figures. And that sucks balls.

I still think that $20-50 for a 6" figure, let alone a 3.75", is too much and not worth it.

They need to work the price back down instead of including BS accessories like BAW and missile launchers and extra hands that you'll either lose or damage the figure swapping out.

Woe, how the mighty(Hasbro) have fallen. :{

I can't wait for the ST helmet. ST helmets are more wearable and more balanced than Kylo's. His helmet has too much weight on the front. ST helmets have a more natural design and are more conducive for actual use. Kylo's (Revan's) helmet looks cool but is really uncomfortable for actual use.

Have you ever seen the helmet cutaway models they made of the ST's helmet and Boba's?

Where they add in the interior of the helmets as if they were real?

That's what I would pay $80 for. And I wish Hasbro would at least emulate those looks. Make me feel like I have an actual ST helmet, not just a bucket with a speaker and mic. :{

Yeah I think the old Sharper Image replicas were close to that. I think the BS helmet is a good deal, especially with that cool voice mod.

They probably cost Hasbro like $5 to make and package. I'd pay $30-$40.

But $80 is a new video game and an action figure that took many many more manhours combined to make, yet are cheaper.

Think about how a game like Skyrim costs $60. They spent thousands more hours on that game than Hasbro did making these helmets. :{P

It's a movie costume piece which can be displayed or worn for cosplay. Props and replicas are a different market than video games and $80 for a replica helmet is decent.

Look at this company's Kylo helmet replica which sells for $700:

https://www.anovos.com/products/star-wars-the-force-awakens-kylo-ren-helmet-accessory-pre-order

Hasbro's helmet seems like a good deal now huh? And I'd rather have one helmet than four sad Vaders or bootleg Lukes. :p

The market doesn't matter. When you buy something you pay for what went into it regardless of market.

If Bethesda can churn out a game that took thousands of hours to make and develop for $60, as opposed to Hasbro producing a helmet cosplay prop that took maybe hundreds of hours(Hasbro does own 3d printers and can 3d scan the actual mask or 3d sculpt it, a SINGLE item as opposed to Bethesda's thousands of individual objects that needed modeling, etc.) to make for $80, Hasbro is clearly charging more per hour to make their product.

That Anovos helmet just proves my point that these things are being overpriced.

People willing to buy them at that price just perpetuates these bad business choices.

Same with the BS figures. People must be buying them up for Hasbro to keep making them the way they're making them.

And the BS figures aren't good examples since we were already mentioning that they're overpriced and not of good quality.

I was saying that even after buying the cheaper game, I'd have money left over for something else, any action figure, not just SW.

I'm not judging you specifically for buying these helmets and figures mind you. I'm just stating the logic behind my unwillingness to fork out that much money for these basic pop culture items. :{D

I agree that replicas are overpriced and that a video game is a better deal considering the amount of work though, but $80 sure beats $700, especially when the difference is negligable for display, and for wear, that anovos helmet would be heavier and even more uncomfortable.

Well the new BS 6" figs are awesome and indicitive of what Hasbro is truly capable of. All the figs from RO's wave 1 (which includes Ahsoka) seem to be high quality. I would assume that the BS has underperformed due to Disney's corner cutting demands, and Disney realized their attempt at extra profit failed and are just going for normal profit now.

Right, like they didn't put in as much effort and expected more, got enough, and went for more effort and expecting more than the first go round.

Like maybe under Disney's "command" Hasbro gets back to that 2007-2010 flow.

The Ahsoka looks great. I kind of wish I'd never sold my Marvel Legends collection to justify bringing in new 6" figures like her and Kanan and the Rebel's and OT/PT/EU characters.

I've got Halo figures though, and they're 5" scale... people in Star Wars are taller due to lower gravity? Masterchief trains under Luke? :{D

Yeah I think Disney thought they could get away with inferior products just because of the SW brand. Hopefully they maintain this level of quality.

I had a Square Enix Sara Palmer and Kotobukiya Chief that were pretty cool. Back in the day before Halo 2 came out I had a Blue Spartan and a Banshee ship. Trying to remember the company, I think Mcfarlane?

If it was right when H2 came out, it was that company before McFarlane took over. I have some of their figures and the mini Chiefs and Covenant. I think it's Jakks, but it's probably someone else.

I have a bunch of the McFarlane halo, especially Reach. Warthog, Ghost, mogoose. I have a Hunter too. And even some HaloClix.

I also had three of the Helmets for the 12 inch MC and hollowed them out for 1/6th scale use. They fit over most figures heads.

I talk to this dude on another site sometimes and he makes his own 1/6th scale customs of Kat from Reach and Noble 6/default armor. :{

It was like a year before 2 came out, Jakks sounds right. I also had a one of the Chief figs from 4 made a couple years ago. It was pretty decent. And a rubio MC helmet with the lights on the sides. The visor had a patch to see through though because the rest of it was just painted on and not a legit visor like from a motorcycle helmet. I've seen some custom mods from real motorcycle helmets that are badass. I've never seen the 12" Chief.

When Halo 3 came out McFarlane made the 12" MC in green, blue, and brown. And they made all these helmets you could swap out. It was just a 12" version of their 5" line. I think the Spartans are 6" tall and the plain people are 5". Like Dare. She's short.

A motorcycle helmet that was like the ODST helmet would be my dream Halo helmet. RC Katarn Armor helmet like Boss or 67's green helmet would be cool SW helmets. And of course Boba Fett.

I have an H4 Chief and a grunt I think. I know I have the dog like enemy and one of the floaty guys that attaches to the back of a knight. And the Didact looked cool but I never got him. I prefer the Reach Halo armors better. They look believable AF. :{

Lol that image is haunting.

That Vader is just laughable. The helmet is not even close and that chain?? Wtf!

I don't know, I'm still disagreeing with him.

Does he ever give the Black Series good reviews? Do they ever win these?

Cause it seems almost like he's trying to get free stuff from the other companies by bashing Hasbro so far. Not that I blame him.

Hasbro's figures are meant for children primarily and the collectors are a perk. The other companies are the opposite, being for collectors and children wanting them being a perk.

It's like comparing Huffy Bikes(Hasbro) to BMX(the Asian companies).

Children won't be able to judge the Hasbro figures like adult collectors, so Hasbro is cheaper and does the job. So to me, that wins over more/better detail. But I also customize/mod so I can fix the problems with the Hasbro figures to some extent.

I like Rebelscum/Cool Toy Review myself. They're articles(I don't think they do videos) and they show the figures off really well. But even they are biased in some ways.

I've wanted to do action figure reviews for a while now. I'd have to stick with older figures though. :{P

I got this around when TFA came out. This is for adults only trust me. My hoody is 2XL and the hood BARELY fits over the helmet. The dimensions of the helmet are too big for a kid and they wouldn't be able to see through the eye port the way it sits on your nose.

I'm still standing by what I'm saying about Hasbro though. They market towards children primarily.

And I think a child could still wear the helmets and that the helmets aren't just for adults.

That helmet is listed ages 8 and up. Hence, they marketed it primarily for children. (http://www.hasbro.com/en-us/product/star-wars-the-black-series-kylo-ren-voice-changer-helmet:4C13DCD2-5056-9047-F51B-D4B60F4D37B1):{P

Lol

Disney is using the Schwarz.

Didn't Finn kind of look like the Spaceball saying "We ain't found shit!"?

Wasn't Poe kind of like Lonestar attitude wise?

Instead of a WMD that sucks the air off a planet, it sucks the sun off! X{D

Yeah Boba Fett Black series won. I haven't watched them all. The BS is targeted toward collectors though, so movie accuracy is at least the primary requirement. I've never seen Vader rocking a chain like Flavor Flav or whatever that rapper's name is.

I think it's more of making fun of bad figures more than a legit comparison. $50 for a 6" figure is way too much but Hasbro needs to do better though.

I disagree that the BS is for collectors as Hasbro's whole company is geared towards children and don't make a secondary 6" line of SW figures.

My example of Hasbro is also just pointing out that the Asian toy makers like SH and others are making things to look good/highly detailed and Hasbro is thinking about playability.

It explains why there is a difference between the two and why the Hasbro figures seem lacking.

And the Vader chain was maybe 1 scale to large, but nothing that a child would notice or care about. Which is what Hasbro is thinking when making it.

The 2007-2010 3.75" SW figures were just Hasbro's way of thanking collectors but also making detailed figures children could enjoy. I also think Lucas was collecting them and egging them on for more.

That channel's cool, I just don't see eye to eye with his opinions/reviews so far. I've only watched the two you sent links to though.

$50 is the perfect price for a 1/6th scale figure, clothed and with a few accessories, but anything under that scale needs to be a whole lot cheaper.

Marvel Legends started out at $10 when oil was MORE expensive per barrel. I think it's bullshit that the collectors and children are suffering from the greed of the toy companies. :{

I didn't say that the BS is for collectors only, just that their the target audience. Some of the figures are so awesome like all the new Rebels 6", I just don't get sad Vader with a chain.

Plus the helmets are from the BS, and those are adult size.

Hasbro has been making terrible choices and making a higher percentage of shitty figures since the Disney buy. The new At-Act costs $280 and the scale is inferior the past ones. You control it's movement through a phone app like the Sphero BB-8.

Well you said it's targeted towards collectors and I think that's not the case. Hasbro is a children's toy company and their target consumer is clearly children. Not collectors. That's why the collectors are rarely satisfied by Hasbro and children aren't into the hobby yet enough to know the difference.

I didn't think the Vader had "puppy dog eyes" or that the chain was that out of scale though. And the Hasbro helmet on that Vader was better than the other figure's. The other one had too fat an upper head part. If that makes sense.

The helmets are cosplay props though, not toys. I can see them also having adjustable headbands inside like a construction helmet that will allow a child to wear them too.

You know I agree that Hasbro is making bad choices, but to me it's mainly their pricing. The 5POA line is also a travesty after their super articulated figures.

$280?!? F that! I bet if you wait a while, you'll find them at WM for under $100 like the last AT-AT, the AT-TE, the Juggernaut, and the BMF.

I prefer the vehicles that don't have lights and sounds so that if they got wet it wouldn't be a problem. That AT-ACT falls over in a puddle and some rich kid's going to have get another one. :{P

Dude, the helmets are adult sized, trust me. The adjustible straps are meant to fit adults only plus the helmet would still be too big and heavy for any kid. It's tough for even me to move my head around with it on.

You think that BS Vader helmet is better than the other one??? I'll take whatever type of weed you have lol. I'm not sure why you're defending those garbage figs when it's Disney's fault. Don't forget Hasbro answers to them now.

A better comparison would be the Funko GoT line. "Sad" Vader and "bootleg" Luke are a joke compared to that line. Hasbro has no excuse to be outdone by Funko. It's obvious that Disney is forcing them to cut corners to try to increase profit.

I know it can fit an adult and all, but they're going to make it so children can use them too. That's just Hasbro's thing.

You already got one of the helmets? Cool!

Yeah the BS helmet looked less...bulky is I guess the word I'm thinking. And the proportions on the other one were off. And I would never pay that much for a 6" figure. It's just too high. And I'm the only one that gets to be too high!

I'm really defending Hasbro though, so Disney can still go eat shit and die for all I care. And I do blame Disney's lack of motivation for Hasbro for the prices and lower quality sculpts. I wish Hasbro would just remake the 2007-2010 figures with more than 5 POA. That would be great. But I'm sure Disney would want them to rape us on the prices.

I guess the best thing to do is to look at all the multiples of a single figure and compare their paint apps in store next time. If I have a chance to take pics I will. There could be a problem in qc for all we know.

I did like the thing your reviewer said about why did Disney license two or more companies to make the same scaled figures? That is a huge sign of shitty business practices to me. :{D

You need to do a scumbag steve with chakotay face! ROFL!!! X{D
