[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GruntOfAction I sure as hell hope this dude makes the figures better than Joyride did. All the ones I got fell apart at the "ceaves" so to speak, true LOW quallity action figure right there. Hope to god this guy does justice to the figures.[/quote] Are you kidding? Last thing you have to worry about from TMP is bad figures.

I'm surprised anyone, especially McFarlane and Bungie, would refer to these as toys. I have some of the Alien and Matrix figures by McFarlane and put them on display as "works of art", not "toys". I don't know of any company that has better work. Seriously, it's amazing.

Nice one Milkie. Take that Kayodo lover. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Milkie [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] eLhabib If you think that McFarlane figures are good quality, you obviously haven't seen a lot of figures yet.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Lt ForkHead so what this story is telling me is that the new toymaker will cheap out by making them smaller and less detailed and try to increase profits by appealing to a broader range of consumers? You've got to be -blam!- kidding me[/quote] They might be smaller, but they have a lot more detail than other figures. This guy is a McFarlane hater.

I can't wait! Not only am I a gamer nerd, but I love playing with action figures!
-
ah ha! we meet again "ninja" >=/ lets see... 1 you dont work for bungie 2 a ninja? wtf 3 a fish? wow all these things tell my one thing: GET A JOB!
-
haha! halo food fight! ur BOTH nerds!
-
They look awsome... Anyways when he said mass market did he mean like these figures getting in stores like Target since that would be pretty cool
-
Check out www.spawn.com. The site has photos of every figure they have ever made. I thought the joyride figures looked like children's toys. McFarlane figures look like highly detailed sculptures.
-
Thats on my To Get list.
-
Interesting... but I'm not into toys
-
...I wonder how detailed they will make the Grunts.
-
Sounds sweet! Be interesting to see how authentic these figures are, and also how many points of articulation they will allow seeing as they are a little smaller. I'll pick one of them up as a little souvenir for the relies of the game. Cheers Luke. [Edited on 06.21.2007 2:01 AM PDT]

Being nerdy is something you have to feel deep within. I'm sorry that you don't feel it the way I do, it's liberating and empowering. Just so you know, playing sports doesn't make you not nerdy; not wanting to be a nerd makes you not nerdy.

I'm a little old for toys, but I'll probably check it out and maybe even buy some for my little cousin or for myself as collectables.
