  1. In a way I'm happy they move it by 10 months 2015 is already heavy year with a lot of movies going to have trouble. This also looks like they are planning to film back to back batman/Superman and JL.

     

    In one of the sites can't remember which one someone from the comments said this delay could make WB/DC unpredictable and could give them time to film three movies back to back. Batman/Superman, JL and a solo film.

  2. I say this with zero statistical back-up, but I think you're in the minority on backwards capability.

     

    Not according to online polls, which had BC as the #1 factor in buying a new Xbox One or PS4 console. But Sony and Microsoft colluded (after all, they want you buying new PS4 release not playing old PS3 games) and none offered BC, which meant that ADD gaming addicts either had to skip this generation or suck on the MS/Sony teat.

     

    But like the used game fiasco, had the PS4 offered BC and the Xbox One not (or vice versa) that would have had a serious impact on sales. I own both consoles, and games + controllers for both and if one had included BC, I would have bought 2 of them first day.

     

    And I'm not alone, but again, due to collusion there was no choice.

    You do know if both Sony and Microsoft added BC it would have made the systems more expensive for people to buy.
  3. 4 feet tall?!?!?

     

    What the hell!!! That's the same size as my dang kids!!! :o

     

    This guy has a room dedicated to statues of that scale...in addition to the rest of his "normal sized" collection. Check out that Galactus you were asking about being dwarfed in the corner of the room:

     

     

    Wow! Those are HUGE!!!

     

    I have the Sideshow Great Ultron statue. It's pretty damn big and dwarfs my Bowens, even the big ones like Giant Man. As much as I LOVE Ultron, I almost regret buying it because its a pita to display. That Ultron isn't even half the size of this Doom one!!! I just can't buy statues that are the same size as my 11 1/2 year old!!! lol

     

    One thing I keep forgetting is that I don't have a comic collection or collect anything else really, so as big as these things are, I can find the space.

     

    That being said, 1/2 scale is too much for me, both in terms of price and space. 1/4 scale (like your Ultron) is about perfect for me, because you get the detail and presence for a lot less real estate and a lot less dough.

    COI, how do you display your Sideshows? Detolfs seem wasteful, as you have to take the middle shelf out to accommodate the size. Do you use shelves? Or a different display case? One of the reasons I haven't dipped my toes into the Sideshow pool yet is because space in my neck of the woods is expensive. I'm trying to find a nice display case that can fit larger statues without getting something custom made.

    I think detolfs are for small statues but I also wonder which good to display a statue from sideshows.
  4. Oh goody... another superman Movie wit Lex Luthor

     

    I'm with ya on this. But maybe - just maybe - Cranston as Luthor (if this is true) may be quite different than the other actors.

     

    Lyle Talbot (Atom Man vs. Superman)

    But it does seem like Supes can't get away from him.

    I'm OK with Lex has long his not the main villain but the one pulling the strings.
  5. Sideshow is going to make go broke this year with wonder woman, arkham and godzilla

     

    Tell me about it, I have 10 pieces on pre-order. :facepalm:

     

    I wouldn't worry about Wonder Woman; she probably won't be out until 2015.

    I think end of 2014 or early 2015
