I have finally found the time to watch ZSJL and I was just blown away.
Absolutely *****king epic!!!
The Justice League movie I'd always wanted to see!
Now I have A MIGHTY NEED for the following figures....
1.
Darkseid, he looked
evil as **** and I
LOVED it!! "Prepare the Armada, We will use the old ways..." = chills!
In an ideal world he would come with his throne and Omega Beams.
He would also have the articulation to pose in both his Rodin's 'The Thinker' position and with his arms clasped behind his back in his classic pose.
Do it Hot Toys..... For Darkseid....
2.
Steppenwolf, - boy did they do him good in this film.....
he went from one of the most forgettable comic movie villains of all time to an actual character with a
badass design.
His motivation was great, his action scenes were amazing, his in intimidation factor was awesome, even his lines were better.
His armour was just amazing, like a living being in its own right.
I loved how it would change depending on how much he considered an opponent a threat, like with Cyborg at first it didn't change because he didn't consider him a threat, but when Diana entered and he knew she was an Amazon it did. or When he speaks to Darkseid and his armour retreats to show his fealty and vulnerability - I love that!!
I don't think there is, sadly, a way to create a version of this figure with living armor
but I still think he is possible to make, maybe with interchangeable armour pieces with the seams hidden in the armour pattern.
Or Hot Toys could try to maximize their use of the body type by having a "normal" Steppenwolf with his armour flat and relaxed, a "battle-ready" Steppenwolf with his armour all spiked up and his eyes blue and lit up, and a "battle-damaged" Steppenwolf with his armour destroyed and his horn burned off.
3.
DeSaad - Yes I want all the evil New Gods what can I say! (maybe even Granny Goodness, though I would prefer to wait till they cast a named actress for her) His design is AWESOME and he played the evil councilor/middle-man very well... plus he looks AWESOME.... and did I mention he looks AWESOME?
4.
The whole damn league - I have the BVS Superman and which I still love and the 2017 Justice League Wonder Woman which I am still happy with (though I may upgrade her in the future), I was for the longest time thinking of selling my BVS Batman because 2017 JL put me off so much, but I'm so glad I didn't because my faith is now restored. Now I hope Hot Toys reissues them all because I want the whole line-up.
The Flash was SO much better in this version its unreal, I still prefer Grant Gustin but that whole "make your own future" scene was one of the most epic things I have ever seen in a movie - ever. What a vindication for Miller's iteration.
CYBORG - oh my god, what a transformation, they really ruined him in 2017, here he is the soul of the movie - his "digital god" scenes are just amazing (I honestly got a little choked up when he sees the life of the single-mom waitress and helps her out, what a powerful scene) and his character arc was brilliant "I'm not broken and I'm not alone!" - I need a 1/6 figure of him, really hope Hot Toys decides to finally roll him out.
5.
Knightmare timeline Joker - I'm currently holding off on the Knightmare Batman till this figure is announced (I actually think they will announce this one - he isn't that difficult and HTs has done so many Leto Jokers whats one more) this is the first time I've actually been remotely interested in Leto's Joker and not embarrassed by his "edgy" tattoos and I think a set of him and Knightmare Batman would be cool.
6. This is a bit of an odd one but....
The Old Gods - Zeus, Ares and Artemis were absolutely epic in the "history lesson" scene and looked it too - they kicked baby Uxas' butt - but considering space and money, this one would just remain a wish-list want.
I know the likelihood of all to any of these figures being made is near zero - but this is a wish list and a man can dream...
