Excellent pics. And some sweet poses too.
Well done!

The CG was absolutely terrible in the first movie. Made me appreciate the sequel even more.

The sequel is actually the worse of the two movies, in my opinion.

The casting for Zartan was horrendous.
They could have EASILY made Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes the main storyline, except they already screwed that up in the first movie. They met as kids? Seriously?
Jinx was worthless, but she would've been tolerable by the casting of the Blind Master. Trust me, I was major into the Wu-Tang Clan since the BEGINNING (1993), but casting the RZA as the Blind Master was TERRIBLE. Remember, casting directors, Wu-Tang Clan loves CHINESE flicks, not JAPANESE.
I didn't care for the Rock as Roadblock (he's supposed to be from the SOUTH). However, I'll give that one a pass. He's got star power, and he's a likable guy.

I just can't go on. Getting mad lol!

So how about a few pics??

Taken with a 105mm macro lens (which may be the most amazing lens I've ever used)!

Nice pics Rubio. I keep thinking of picking this up and having my seamstress cut down his jacket, pretty much the only thing I don't like about the design was the incorporating that long design. Your pics, especially the first really highlight how great that sculpt is.

I agree about the Rocks casting, although I actually did love him in this, they should have done the old Sgt Slaughter, Fridge, etc... and just have him as himself, it's a Joe tradition, would have been awesome and they could still have Roadblock come in down the road (if the movies aren't DoA now.

It made back twice it's budget in addition to covering it's costs. But that might not have been enough to ensure another sequel.

You are not alone, in spite of all the people who like to lambast it, the movie made nearly 400 million. It was a hit in spite of some of it's issues and the bungled release.

Thanks, man!

I took a few more photos of Storm Shadow today. Nothing fancy...




With Cool Girls Aska. Not a bad substitute for Jinx.





It could have happened in the 80s...

Thanks! I had fun taking them. I'm always impressed with how easy it is to get HT figures to stand.

Try it with general Zod.
Or a MKVI Iron Man armour. You'll find out what "can't stand up" really means, lol.

I had to buy a new long sword for this since my original came loose for whatever reason and came out of the hilt. I ordered a new one and I just got it. My original short and long swords went snug into the scabbards, while the replacement long sword is loose within it. I think it's due to the old swords have the ever so slightest bend in them. Does anyone else have either of these issues?

 

[Ninjaknight]

Has anyone's white suit turned yellow yet? If so, is there a way to make it white again?

 

[Kibagami]

Damn, it yellowed?! That sucks,. I was gonna buy one for a bash.

i just noticed the other day that mine looked a little more yellowish than i remembered. if it gets worse i might try some white acrylic paint

I'll check mine when i get to work tomorrow. I don't recall it yellowing, but haven't eyeballed it in a while.
