Avengers vs. X-Men 2012 "WOW" in Off Topic by 3bcustoms   
Wednesday, February 1, 2012
   [Edit]
Don't know if anyone has heard but come this April Marvel will start the release of there new series which looks like it is going to be amazing and since I really don't buy comics anymore I can guarantee that Avengers vs. X-Men will definitely be getting my money....photos to most of the covers have been released and it was a couple covers that really caught my eye, 1 was of the Red Hulk fighting Colossus a.k.a Colossanaut and the 2nd was The Thing in his Future foundation suit fighting again Colossus a.k.a Colossanaut.....( I hope he crushes them both )
Now me personally have Colossus as my all time favorite Marvel character (Batman is my DC) and I can't wait to see him duke it out with Thing/Rulk. I like the idea tha...[See More]

I'm curious who you think would win in the Mags vs. IM match up.

Exactly! We already know there is "Avengers VS Xmen", "VS", and "Secret Avengers" which will all be part of this whole thing.

As for who Id think would win the Iron Man vs Magneto match up. Magneto easy. I mean I get that IRON Man's suit may no longer contain any metal in the suit but the fact stands that magnetos shield can block his repulser rays and he can just smash IM with any metal nearby and this is all under the theory that IM still has the metals removed from the suit. That could easily be forgottin or retconned. I suppose IM does have the whole "batman with prep time" thing going for him and he could just build an anti magneto suit but the fact still stands magneto controls a fundemental element of the earth!

The only thing that bugs me about Colossus being the new Juggernaut is how he's drawn. He should be drawn much bigger, right now he looks like Juggernauts gangly cousin.

This event could be cool, but they'll probably dilute it with a bunch of pointless tie in books like they always do. I'm hoping it comes off as more of an epic clash between the 2 powerhouse teams, and less of an obvious money making endeavor.

So far I have seen multiple covers and they all look absurdly one sided. Black Widow VS Psylocke...really? Magneto VS Iron Man ...your kidding right? I also must disagree with you about the colossus being the new avatar of Juggernaut. But then again we sit at odds as ol' Juggernaut was one of my fave marvel characters. Which means I have been avoiding Colossus like he killed my best friend so I don't realllly know his current power level but if it is the same as Juggernauts (which it should be if not higher) then he should beat RULK pretty easy ...unless its RULK AND Thing...even then Colassunaught should still win (should of win is win). Honestly Im a bit dissapointed with how this thing is shaping up I mean the "VS" book seems a tad cash cowing.

With all that said I must admit certai ...

If you have not noticed it yet go back and watch the trailer, at the beginning at the football game take a look at the "ROUGES" banner the fans are holding and look at the letter "R"...it's the Robin logo....(at the 00:13 second mark)

Lego LOTR? in Off Topic by Group customs   
Sunday, January 8, 2012
   [Edit]
I have too say, after seeing the ad for lego LOTR I was very disapointed. All this time it has been based on a relatively mature audience, but now we are reaching out to younger groups with Lego (which wouldn't be so bad if they didn't make those games). I personally hate lego figures, I think some of the sets are cool for display granted the Lego Yoda is pretty fun, but I still do not think that this lisense should be given to Lego. After having seen friends play Lego Star Wars, Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean I have determined that the only goal of lego games is too take relatively serious storylines and turn them into some kind of joke. I would like too start a online petition for all people who are also against it. So if you a...[See More]

I loved Lego Starwars and Indy, full of cheeky little bits and great light relief when you're fed up of hardcore gaming. Personally I think any sort of merchandise / media relating to a film will only serve to increase the fan base of any given property. Ok it may only be a temporary raise but it's still there. As for actual Lego it's the most successful toy ever so I can't see it failing really.

Yeah the plushies are prettl interesting too, I forgot about them. I do like the lego sets, but there is just something about the figures I just don't like. I do think the sets have good collector value though. I just think the games are to simplistic, they could be fun though considering Skylanders is pretty simplistic as well (yet there is something strangely addicting about it).

Oh yeah LOTR have been sooooooo mature

[Picture]

Have you ever played any of the lego games? They are actually a lot of fun and a GREAT way to get non gaming friends/loved ones in to games. They are cute simplistic games that many hardcore gamers and critics praise. I had a blast playing lego Batman. Also as for the "mature" thing thats just your opionon. Some would say you and I are immature for collecting LOTR toys. Heck I have even seen other LOTR collectors veiw the toys as childish. They believe either you collect props or don't collect at all. Also MANY MANY adults buy and play with Legos. They have a HUGE adult fanbase. ...

I think they, unlike michael bay, listened to some of the complaints about the first one. Still I'm not a big fan of them being an international team instead of US special forces.

If anyone watched this yet, have you noticed that there is no Scarlett, no Baroness or Destro, no Ripcord/HeavyDuty/Breaker ?
I do like that Snake-Eyes looks like his version from G.I.Joe:Resolute (one of the best animated movies ever)

Can epoxy putty fumes or dust affect your health? in Off Topic by timone317   
Tuesday, January 10, 2012
   [Edit]
I've worked with epoxy putty nearly all my life as my main sculpting material on custom figures. I finally bought a dremel last year which greatly increased my productivity but it also increased the amount of epoxy putty I needed to use (I currently have 17 empty Loctite bottles sitting on my desk). And over the years it hadn't even occured to me that it may have been affecting my health. And I think this would be the only place where I could get a good answer for this question. So can breathing in the fumes when mixing the putty or the dust that comes from sanding the hardened putty harm you in any serious ways?...[See More]

The dust can mess up your sinuses and lungs but the fumes will probably just give you bad headaches. I usually do both in areas where nobody is for long periods of time like the basement.
