Injustice Green Arrow and Deathstroke Reviewed

The ponytail hairstyle with a new body would look like , the hair down with that body may have looked like , but with both the ponytail and :scarlet:'s body, the figure looks more like .
On the other hand, is a perfect blend of character likeness and actor likeness. While I'm not so against ninjas in the Joe franchise (Slice is one of my favourite Cobras, and I still liked the comic in the Ninja Force era, what put me away was the brainwashing of ex-Cobras), I don't like the idea of turning into a ninja.
Yeah, the whole "it's a McLane figure". If people wants a McLane, then ask for a Die Hard toyline, please, but this is a GI Joe toyline and that one needs to look like the character, not just the actor. I want a Joe Colton figure, and this one lacks Colton's trademark scar on the cheek. Of course, the blame is on the filmmakers who never added one to Willis with make-up for the film itself. Anyways, seeing how difficult is to get the two previous 3 3/4" versions of the character, I guess I'll get that one anyways.

LJ, somehow I don't get scarlet from her, I get more of a new character than I do of LJ though.

The RB into Ninja thing I think is causing people to be hesitant to the movie. We keep hearing "Oh, this must be a ploy." but no one can confirm or deny that. Then there was that pic I found and posted in the review. All of it makes you wonder. Eh, I'll watch it either way. If it sucks, it sucks.

That is a tough call on Colton, I admit he SHOULD have had a figure in the Modern Era now (However, notice his popping up is always near the end of a line/era, uh-oh).

Rouge, Longshot, Professor X get a look at today, so does Wolverine, kind of.

Enjoy.

Not a bad looking Rogue figure

[DAMartin]

I'd say the idea of Xavier walking again and becoming Lilandra's consort was a good ending for the character, but since he returned, he doesn't work the same way walking, so he had to be crippled again. About his jerk characterisation, it goes back and forth, but there still was a bit of it in the Lee/Kirby days (though mostly due to values dissonance).
I'd say the "only mutants" rule can be overruled if the character is extremely related to the X-books, like Longshot and the Mimic (who isn't a mutant despite having mutant powers). It also happens with Sauron (and, again, the Mimic) in the Brotherhood.
I was about to signal that Rogue should have an older look to fit in the pack, but I had not noticed yet that Xavier was in his hoverchair, so the set doesn't represent any specific era. I'd also like Rogue to get Ms Marvel's powers in adaptations, but they keep her just with her mutant power. Funny fact: most of the goodness of Rogue comes from kissing Rom, but Marvel cannot mention it due to Rom not being owned by them.

I tend to agree.

Yeah I really thought it was lame when they "re-crippled him" On his jerk characterization, I really feel they went too far with it for whatever reason. I saw some sterness in those days but nothing like what we see now.

Good point although, mimic and Saruon weren't members of the X-Men.

I had forgotten the Rom thing, wow it has been a long time. I always point out thought that Rogue had a very hard time when she joined the X-Men whereas Emma Frost did not (Hence my reasoning for her possibly manipulating nearly all the X-Men with her telepathic powers in my mind, would explain Cyclops being a baby now LOL).

It's time to look at some more figures, this time Reed, Sue, Ben, and HERBIE get a very late look along with Future Foundation Dr. Doom and Blastaar

Enjoy

Mimic was a member in the 60's as I found out reading the Essential Classic X-Men volumes.

Great FF set.

2 Iron Mans, Odin, Cap and a Chitari make up this odd mix of Avengers related reviews, hope you enjoy.

That Odin has better colors than the first version, indeed, but I guess he'll never be brought to Chile. About the sword, I remind you again that Odin's sword is still smaller than the one shown in comics.
I'd say the major weakness of the Cap line was the lack of other characters despite having enough options with the Howling Commandos and the HYDRA soldier types.
The worst thing about the Deluxe Skrull's articulation is that you can notice there are parts where articulations were designed yet not added (check the knees) Of course, you know I cannot refuse to get any version of an army-builder.
