    As for the Spidey Sideshow, i worry about it leaning.

     

    Considering that it's at the beginning stages of production and all anyone can seem to do is talk about potential leaning, I'm certain they're engineering this to prevent any issues. A rep already confirmed that they're using metal rods through the base, arm and body, and the lower-body will probably be very light compared to the base and torso. I don't think it's hard thing to prevent with some forethought, and their attention is already on it.

     

     

    :hi:

     

    Don't have anything to say, just saying :hi:

     

    Oh ok actually i do. Yes i did hear that! I hope you're right. Saw pictures of the JSC Spidey from last year already leaning a couple of days ago.

  2. Yeah really sucks about the Marvel policy of no X-Men/Fantastic Four. I would imagine this also applies to Sideshow so with no XM Doom anytime soon I'll probably pick up the Sideshow version.

     

    Can't wait for my XM Wolverine and most of all Thanos :taptaptap:

     

    As for the Spidey Sideshow, i worry about it leaning. XM have one waiting for approval from Marvel as we speak so I'm waiting to see WIP on XM's version first.

  3. I'd love to see some pics. I've seen a checklist of his work online , it must have been yours.

     

    Probably. I know i did the first comprehensive one by going through my collection and then other people took it over and updated it.

     

    Sadly i don't have any pics to share as my collection is in need of serious organizing.

     

    I would definetly recommend picking up his art books from his website if you are a fan. The new Marvel art volume 2 is beautiful with a "holographic type" cover.

  4. the idea that Fox or Sony will give back those properties no matter what is unlikely.

     

    Big names like Spider-Man and FF may not do well here but internationally they will succeed.

     

    I am willing to bet that because of the low budget on this movie (compared to other films) Fox will still make a very nice profit.

     

     

    Give back? No. Let them expire like Daredevil or sell back cheaply like Punisher or do a distribution type deal like Hulk are all possibilities.

     

    they will not let them expire. that's just not happening in this age. Comic movies are doing well in hollywood, or are at least perceived to be doing well financially.

     

    FF2 is already scheduled for 2017. They will make a profit on this film. I'm 99% certain of it. Profit just gives them the green light to make more or ask Marvel for more. Marvel won't buy it outright, they don't need it.

     

    This idea of Marvel wanting FF/Spider-man/X-men is just our wishful thinking. Marvel already knows if can put a raccoon, a talking tree and their Han Solo and make $$$. They have Star Wars, they have so much more that they don't need it.

     

    Will they take it back if rights expire, yes! But neither company (Fox/Sony) is going to let that happen anytime soon.

     

    :sorry:

     

     

    Only last year Fox let Daredevil expire? (shrug)

  6. After being blown away by X-Men DOFP a part of me wasn't so annoyed Fox was holding onto the X-Men ... then i read what they are doing with the Fantastic Four.

     

    The good news is this movie will likely bomb giving Marvel a better chance of getting the rights back. The bad news is it will kill the Fantastic Four brand for a generation. Still maybe they can salvage characters to put into Infinity War like Galactus.

     

    I hope this movie has a disasterous box office. Please don't go see it.

  7. I really hate it when people hoard EXTREME multiple copies of books. Why would anyone need 500 copies of a comic i will never know. It's not even an isolated case. We all know Cal and his IMSM 1 fetish and i bet there are hundreds of people who hoard copies of various books. Two, three, ten. Fine. 500? doh!

     

    MTU #1 , I was thinking about getting one of those but not anymore, I will just stick to my golden age stuff

     

    Why wouldn't you want it because someone has 500 copies? It's not an expensive book and the black cover makes it tough in high grade.

     

  8. I was friends with Nick (Flaming Telepath) and he mentioned this place a couple of times during conversation. Then when he knew I was looking for a Captain America # 100, he put me in touch with Arex, who had one for sale so I got chatting with Arex who suggested I should sign up.

     

    Then shortly afterwards, I got chatting with Matt (Anfield Fox) after buying from him on eBay and he also suggested that I should join the boards so I finally got round to registering in late 2006.

     

    The very best thing about this forum is the fact that I've made so many good friends through here. There are plenty of guys here who I enjoy chatting with but also a whole bunch who I enjoy seeing at our regular meet ups for beer and I owe that to the CGC boards.

     

    Thank you for buying my junk :hi:

  9. I really hope Fitz is written out now :wishluck:

     

    I don't know, Fitz kinda grew on me. Its a shame they write him out of the series by turning him into a vegetable, or at least, that's what I got out of it.

     

    I don't think the show needs 2 "scientists" and i'm not ashamed to say Simmons wins on looks alone. Personally i would also get rid of May and Skye too and bring in Maria Hill (since her other show ended) and Sharon Carter.
