Picked-these up back at the beginning of
August and - Spidey fans excepted - who knew? Who knew there were at least
half-a-dozen of the little serum-contaminated blighters! There's girl ones,
future ones, kid ones . . . they're everywhere! ♪♫♪♫ Spider-Man, Spider-Man . . . how many of you in the Clan? ♫♫♪
Boo! Shout the panto' crowd! It's the Phidal bad-guys, and they're in front of you! How come all these spider-things
don't have eight legs or eight eyes? Just sayin'! Rhino looks more like a Blood Bowl player, although I think that
particular piece of Nottingham's real-estate was nicked from something published
earlier in 2000AD, or am I thinking
of Rollerball?!
The best of a bad-assed bunch! I wrote the
names on these as I guide for myself, 'cos I don't follow any of this, There
are two movies out this Christmas, I think, I won't watch either of them, even
when they come on DVD!
I've recently been catching-up on stuff I
did half-intend to see, but was pretty disappointed; Will Smith's After Earth was unadulterated,
self-indulgent, shite, with Cruise's Oblivion
a better movie but so full of plot-holes and continuity/logic errors it was a
poor excuse for Sci-Fi.
District
9 was actually better, but all three had week
endings with the first two very 'Hollywood-mawkish' in the last minutes! I also
watched Elysium, the sort of
[not-a-]follow-up to District 9, and
while it shared the earlier films gritty realism and production values, along
with a CGI budget to match Oblivion,
it also shared the Elysium plot . . .
man with X-hours/days to live puts on armoured body-suit to [successfully] defeat
baddies!
What was new with this set was a
'blind-bag' element which may be to prevent pilfering? I've seen a couple like
this now (with the figure compartment covered), but most are still viewable,
there's a nice set of Transformers out there at the moment with robots that
look just like 1980's gum-ball capsule prizes, or pencil-tops - without the
hole!
