If they are going to hold a poll in order to pick the deserving character,I hope they pick the candidates themselves and then ask us to vote for one of them. <br /><br />Ha! can you belive this?

It was a little slow in places and you have to wait a while before Lizard shows up. But even then I still think this film is better than the last three, and Andrew Garfield is perfect as Peter Parker, much more deserving of the role than Tobey Maguire in my eyes. There is a small clip during the end credits too so make sure you stay for that guys!<br />SVSinisterVenomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978165722939822994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-15402218508546058852012-07-05T13:18:08.081+01:002012-07-05T13:18:08.081+01:00Jacadoo: I have not seen the Spider-Man movie yet ...Jacadoo: I have not seen the Spider-Man movie yet although 2 of my sons did. I will most likely see it this weekend.<br /><br />As for the Marvel reboot,I believe Marel is going about this all wrong.If they are seeking to win new and younger fans they should start by deflating their prices. Ever since McFarlane was given his own Spider-Man title way back when,artists and writers were given big bucks salaries and the work rendered did not in many cases meet up to par. So now we have low quality comics with high prices. Most kids can't afford to buy more than one or two books at the existing prices,and many adults aren't willing to pay high prices for the kind of medicore books published today.<br /><br />All the hype of mega epics stories that don't say much and you have to buy the whole Marvel line to get the whole picture isn't doing the indstry much good either.Thor8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531778820407023091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-50765040368035532982012-07-05T11:35:36.666+01:002012-07-05T11:35:36.666+01:00Thor8 I had heard the rumours regarding the rebran...Thor8 I had heard the rumours regarding the rebranding but had hoped they were untrue!<br /><br />Seems Disney are going into commercial overdrive and see the characters solely as part of a catalogue to play with as they wish.<br /><br />Incidently went to see the new spider man reboot on Tuesday....

I've been calling out for him for a long time! I know Robert and a few other bloggers have too.<br />As much as I want the likes of Onslaught and Madame Web, my most wanted Special of the 'popular choices' would be the Warriors Three! They absolutely should be considered as the one and only triple pack of the collection. Considering that the DC Collection got a sub pack before it's cancellation, EM should make it fair and give the CMFC a triple pack to make it fair. The Warriors Three are popular and massively overdue!<br />SVSinisterVenomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978165722939822994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-8121912065432272732012-07-05T00:48:02.744+01:002012-07-05T00:48:02.744+01:00Did you guys hearthe news about Marvel relaunching...Did you guys hearthe news about Marvel relaunching the MU as "Marvel NOW"?<br /><br />That's right Marvel has decided to go the "DC 52" route and relaunch their whole line of characters.There will be a new group called Uncanny Avengers with formal Avengers and X-Men as members. Some character's past encarnations will be brought to the present. There will be costume changes and some of the main guns will be made to represent their movie versions.<br /><br />First I get the bad news that the CMFC is ending and now this. <br /><br />The end is truly near!!!Thor8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531778820407023091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-14743496775345086292012-07-05T00:45:05.536+01:002012-07-05T00:45:05.536+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Thor8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531778820407023091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-17444817526543832972012-07-05T00:44:06.034+01:002012-07-05T00:44:06.034+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Thor8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531778820407023091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-71142094047083448032012-07-05T00:40:30.028+01:002012-07-05T00:40:30.028+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Thor8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531778820407023091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-78331105050556658472012-07-04T23:30:12.472+01:002012-07-04T23:30:12.472+01:00Pipping Gold's Drax is a real masterpiece.

The figurine is beautifully executed, the character is represented at his best and then there is the surprising creative idea to turn DC's Blue Devil into Drax, which is genius. How I wish that was the Drax in the CMFC. Pippin Gold has done many other awesome customs, like Kaine, Hyperion and many more. As for Baron Strucker, Ciro has made an amazing custom figurine. He's another really talented customiser.BLAKENEWMAN2002https://www.blogger.com/profile/06824404277463421677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-89400563332921883672012-07-04T21:22:05.835+01:002012-07-04T21:22:05.835+01:00Warriors Three!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought you might appreciate it :)<br /><br />http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt358/avengerblue/PICT0318.jpg<br /><br />@Leigh - I dont think I ever read any classic comics with Skurge either. I probably like him so much due to recent cartoon appearances in Avengers EMH. I think he's also been in some Super Hero Squad stuff, comics or cartoons or both. <br /><br />My nipper knows him as well as I do, he danced a little jig at the thought of him coming in lead :)<br /><br />CMFC has done more for our Marvel knowledge than anything. My lad isnt allowed to touch them but he knows almost all of their names and when he see's one on TV or in a comic he has to stop and go and find it.

A resin figure we already have in lead.<br /><br />Now, interest in a Special might indicate to them that they can do a relaunch of the line, for more dough, similar characters, made of resin.

Each figurine could even be accompanied by a magazine about the character, bearing the character's image and name on the cover. And, hear hear! The 20 issues could even be numbered 201 to 220 and made available as a subscription. We could then ask Mephisto to delete the word 'extension' from human memory. Everybody would then proceed to collect these 20 new figurines religiously every 14 days and refer to them as simply the 20-pack special.BLAKENEWMAN2002https://www.blogger.com/profile/06824404277463421677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475118225184706855.post-35146582056797812062012-07-03T21:24:52.809+01:002012-07-03T21:24:52.809+01:00The Warriors Three would be a fabulous end to the ...The Warriors Three would be a fabulous end to the collection.

In his classic blue & gray garb with the battle-ax symbol on the chest holding his battle-ax he would make an impressive figure & would unfortunately bring a perfect end since EM is executing this collection when many of us still want more. <br /><br />If they choose Skurge or Lockjaw or the Warriors Three or Titanium Man (I know I'm the only one who wants him) or Dragonman or Archangel or The Super Adaptoid or Attuma or Blastaar or I'll gladly buy them. (Do Them All EM) The only figure I would not buy besides mojo (talk about taking a comic character seriously) is Strong Guy with his oversized muscles & undersized head with a little whiff of white hair I would just as soon make Giant-Man the last for me.tinodragon14https://www.blogger.com/profile/17439998267379440488noreply@blogger.com
