@lurker-man Oh yeah this needs to apply to every entity and not just the “little guy”.
Those tables and booths though at these Cons can be very expensive (and extremely sought after). So they’re generally not just Joe Shmoes, they are selling their stuff for $ and are taking away booth space from artists who have worked for Filmation, for Marve…Read more

@lurker-man It could have been picked for them meaning, with the new Cartoon Collection 200X action figure line coming soon, perhaps these are the assets Mattel is making available right now to licensees (and why we saw the same imagery used at San Diego Comic-Con this year).

@lurker-man I think what you describe is something that Mattel can’t do (for resources reasons or rights-wise), but Hasbro will do it if this deal goes both ways. I would like it, if it looks cool!

@lurker-man LOL 🤣 I think it’s a dumb term. I don’t even understand it exactly. They also use dumb emojis like: 🗿🔥 it’s sooooooo dumb

@lurker-man It doesn’t matter because they know we’re all going to keep buying every bit of plastic crack that they offer.

@lurker-man I’m praying they don’t fuck her up since she was always one of the sexiest POP ladies. So far they’ve done the other females in CC quite well in terms of the faces.

@lurker-man seriously. At least Dolph Lundgren started on Eternia. They need to stop messing with the story. Gwildor being canon is bad enough.

@lurker-man 

@lurker-man He was also in Masters of the Universe revelation.

@lurker-man They quickly removed the He-Man parody they were selling. 
 

@lurker-man I don’t think she has a say. The studio sets her up with a physical trainer to get in shape and it is the art and costume design that decides her hair color.

@lurker-man As these graphic engines improve I suspect one day a video game maker will skip the studio system entirely and make a feature length movie like Conan themselves on a fraction of the budget. That will be fun to…   Read more»

@lurker-man That is unlikely mate after how that Conan movie tanked. Momoa will never play Conan again even though I blame the failure on the production.

@lurker-man Give it a go.

@lurker-man yea to me he’s following the same path as the rock. Too many movies and wore out his welcome.

@lurker-man How rich is Pixel Dan? He promoted this fan project hard.

@lurker-man I can see it lurker-man! 😆

@lurker-man That’s what I think. If it fails Mattel executives will only know fans voted for something and then didn’t support it. Will they know the truth that someone underneath changed the design because they thought they knew better?

Thanks, lurker-man.  You’re right about Covid kind of fading into the background.  But when it hits you it’s got a way of reminding you it can kick your ass for two or three days.  Such is life…
