I should be reviewing a good 5-10 MOTU figures this month, so keep reading.

I do wonder why the 200x mace was skipped, though it was never one of my favorites. I'm penty happy with what we got.<br /><br /> I wonder why they switched which had was higher? Maybe the next Two Bad figure will give Baddrah the higher head again, just for the sake of fairness.

Two things (ahaha) though - while I like the weapons he's packed with and it's cool to see nods to concept art, I wish they had given us the 200X double-headed mace instead of the axe. I mean the axe is neat and all but the double mace has kind of become a signature Two Bad weapon. And secondly, I'd have preferred to have the Tuvar head higher up than the Baddrah head, a la 200X and to a lesser degree, the MOTUC version. I guess that's just what I've been conditioned to expect. But neither of those preferences is a deal-breaker or really significant - Two Bad is a great addition to the Evil Warriors and I can't wait for the upcoming big monster guys like Whiplash and Clawful :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-43364000832900052552023-03-06T11:27:44.689-05:002023-03-06T11:27:44.689-05:00It just feels like a G.I.

Joe movie only for there to be nothing. I was confused as I had in my memory what I thought to be one. After digging deeper did I discover that was actually the Street Fighter movie of Van Damme and Raul Julia. It was the ending shot that was in my head and ironically, this discovery got me into Street Fighter.foldabotZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05896300137537182254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-25961123616023924762023-03-01T22:10:35.908-05:002023-03-01T22:10:35.908-05:00To me, the Street Fighter movie is the best G.I.

Legit action but also embracing the weirdness of the property. Guys in snake costumes, ninjas everywhere, an accountant in a bird costume. Just utter weirdness.<br /><br />"Come out from behind the curtain, wizard!"Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-59644132821587053292023-03-01T14:17:20.564-05:002023-03-01T14:17:20.564-05:00Well, i actually liked the film as it didn't m...Well, i actually liked the film as it didn't made Ryu and Ken the protagonists, actually. I like sagas where you have different protagonists over reasonable timespans. Only things i hated was fusing Blanka and Charlie Nash into a single character, a bad explanation of Bison's powers (although i liked the electromagnetism thing as it mixes Bison with Palpatine), Chun-Li being a news reporter instead of a secret agent (unless i forgot something about the film plot) and yeah, Van Damme was way too annoying for portraying Guile.<br /><br />But at least SFII:The Movie is way better than The Legend of Chun-Li. Also, the Arcade Game's Troopers should get figures too. You know, the ones from "SFII:The Game. The Movie. The Game. The TV Adaptation. The Desk Game. The Spaceballs. The End.", which is an horribly long title, and everytime i mention it i like to parody it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-9608190072691269762023-02-28T12:48:16.219-05:002023-02-28T12:48:16.219-05:00True, you are right, you reviewed Barbecue.

Well, the fun fact is that i saw the Barbecue review and maybe in a future if i can i will get him. If not, will try to get the Slaughter's "Mad Marauders" variant. <br /><br />Also, i hope in a future they do a Black Series Second Sister new version, or a General Veers one, as i never knew they had figures and now they are on Amazon for 200 euros. But Barbecue will be my priority, for sure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-7810938805247394552023-02-28T10:43:52.945-05:002023-02-28T10:43:52.945-05:00Man, I love the Street Fighter movie as well.

Joe Street Fighter II line and the movie line.<br /><br />Yeah, I skipped the Jedi Fallen Order Flametrooper. The Gaming Greats line is just marked up too much and he just didn't excite me. I have so many troopers at this point that it has to be something pretty unique to get my attention. <br /><br />I did review Barbecue, but he's listed as Gabriel "Barbecue" Kelly as that's how he's sold, kind of like Alvin "Breaker" Kibbey and Stuart "Outback" Selkirk. Check it out. I definitely had fun with that one.

Like the Almighty Tallest from Invader Zim (the old figures weren't bad but now they are hella expensive for 4 inch figures) and the Skeleton King from that Nickeloeon cartoon show called "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!", but both itterations. It surprises me that Mark Hamill voiced so many villains after playing as a hero. Funnily enough, Skeleton King is like a mix of Darth Vader and Darth Sidious, what a coincidence.<br /><br />As i told you, i wish you a nice weekend for you and your family, i will wait for your next review to read and enjoy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-66147860118656681422023-02-25T16:36:25.017-05:002023-02-25T16:36:25.017-05:00Nice figure choices!

Never heard about MST3000 but seems a nice TV series. <br /><br />I would like to see Mars Attacks 6 inch figures, always liked the Martian suits, especially the blue-caped Martian Leader and the red-caped Martian Ambassador designs. Also, the MOTU film Skeletroopers, i always liked the design a lot. Also, a proper SF II M.Bison figure, because i hate how beefy M.Bison is on all the other games. I liked Raul Juliá's interpretation of M.Bison, as both him and SF II Bison were slimmier than the modern Bison design. And also, the news anchors from that SyFy series called "Alien News Desk" in 6 inches would be a nice addition. <br /><br />About your Retro CG, wow, Pulse decided to kick you in the grill really hard. Let's hope you get it as soon as possible.<br /><br />Also, i wanted to ask you a thing. I saw you reviewed the Mando's Incinerator Trooper and the First Order Flametrooper, but you never had a Jedi Survivor Flametrooper review. Also, i see your Classified reviews miss Barbecue, which would have been nice to make puns with this blog's name. You passed avout that figures, you never managed to get them, or you have them but never reviewed them?<br /><br />Have a nice weekend, you and your family! Your real one i mean, not your action figure family!

The Tuvar and Baddrah names/ personalities didn't actually come about until the 200x/ Mike Young Productions era, so it was definitely a later edition. The MYP animated series really added so much to the lore of MOTU that is now just generally accepted. <br /><br />Headbanger from Toxic Crusaders also used a similar theme with a scientist and a surfer guy mutated together. It was a pretty sweet figure.<br /><br />As always, thanks for your kind comments. Let me see about those questions:<br /><br />1. If you're talking about specifically Masterverse, I'd love to have New Eternia versions of Moss Man (he's my favorite), Orko, King Hiss, and Rio Blast to start things off. I'd love to see a mixture of old and new elements for those figures. If they do any more movie figures (which feels doubtful) I'd love a movie Teela and Man-At-Arms.<br /><br />If you're talking about action figures in general, I really want someone to release a good, ongoing 1/12th scale Resident Evil line that spans all eras of the games. A line of Mystery Science Theater 3000 toys is another dream of mine (I'd even take ReAction styled figures). Just at least give us all the hosts, the bots, and the main mads/ villains from each era. Extra points if we get Torgo. Lastly, I want NECA to do Big Trouble in Little China and Escape from New York. <br /><br />2. My Retro Crimson Guard order is still listed with a July 1st release date at Hasbro Pulse along with my Retro Snake Eye.

Ha, ha, ha! About the Almighty Tallest, i hope some company makes 6 or 7 inch figures for them, i liked them a lot in the TV series.<br /><br />Another character i remember when i see Two Bad is Lythos, the Rock Titan from Disney's Hercules. You know, two heads, one body. I hope Two Bad can be smarter than Lythos, at least. Hey, that reminds me that we should get Lythos, Pyros, Hydros and Stratos as figures from Disney too.<br /><br />Barbecue, i would like to know two things, and i hope you can answer them if you want, obviously:<br /><br />1. Which characters would you like to see getting converted into action figures?<br />2. How is your Retro Crimson Guard order going?<br /><br />As a final point, nice review, i always enjoy reading them.
