Second best Star Wars movie after Empire and far and away better than Rogue One, but that was a horrible train wreck that even made the prequels look good so that's not saying much.

Saw it and it was just okay. With 30 years of superhero movies under my belt I'm a hard one to impress and this one didn't come close.

Personally I think these are some of the dumbest things ever invented. It does nothing but spin in a circle...yay? In two months you will find millions of these in the trash.
For a lot of kids, yeah. But, it does certainly have a purpose for people on the autism spectrum or have something like ADHD. Like Lhianneth says, the repetitive motion is good for relaxing/focusing. For my small hands spinners wouldn't be effective, but the motion certainly would for my ADHD. (I would also likely have used it privately or under a desk, but I am also an adult compared to the teenage demographic that seem to be attached to them right now)

Hm, not sure I understand how that works, but if it helps it helps. From my angle it's just a dumb thing kids want because I think they'll all get bored with them after five seconds once they actually get them.

As someone with friends who are Starbucks baristas, please don't make them make this. It's hard to make, that stupid powder on top gets everywhere, and on top of that it's disgusting.

All wonderful points Kanchil and yet women have still lost no rights. You name me one you've lost in the last 48 hours and I'll not consider this just a bunch of people throwing a tantrum.

Nope. I see no point in this march. If someone could give me a good reason for this being a thing then I would consider going.

Funny thing, I think I re-haired that Green styling Rarity and painted her for someone here as a trade.

I talked to a couple long time Funko collectors and a couple said thats what they thought would do the trick

They're taking as much of a shot in the dark as any of us.  Unless Funko themselves come out and say "X signatures will make us consider it" we have no idea.

Right but I think they were refereing to other lines that were cancelled and returned that had similar things like this, apparently the clockwork orange pops that were going through lots of licensing disputes are finally being released after several years.. these kinda of things give me hope, fans were vocal about wanting them and its happening. Same can happen with QC and NMM

That's not the same at all. Did the Clockwork Orange line have a petition and did Funko say for that that X amount of signatures would get them to renew the line? If it did I would like to see proof. I understand how hearing that gave you hope, but you can't make claims that getting X amount of signatures will get Funko to start working on the line again because unless they have personally told you that it's lying.

What matters to Funko is sales, not a petition that a bunch of people signed because from a business standpoint that means nothing. Just because people sign something that doesn't mean they will spend money on it. I'm sure there were people who wanted so badly for Funko to make Maud Pie and Cheese Sandwich, but when Funko did that they did not drop a dime on either of them. The past few releases for these have been proven to be a bust because no one wanted Cheese or Maud just like no one wanted CMC. Instead of selling out super quickly they just ended up becoming shelf warmers and when that happens to a product that ends up costing the company money.

In short your petition shouldn't be to retailers or Funko themselves, but to the consumers. If you can convince them to spend the money on this line again then, and only then, will you get Funko's attention.

The last 2 waves were terrible choices to be honest. Lots of people don't care for Maud or Cheese but were really excited for NMM and Crys. People weren't buying them because they didn't like the characters they chose not because they don't like Funkos.

Did I ever once say people weren't buying because they don't like Funkos? No. You sort of missed my point altogether.

Off Topic / Re: Anime Recommendations?
« on: April 17, 2016, 08:33:38 PM »
The classics you need to see:
-Anything by Studio Ghibli
-Cowboy Bebop
-Trigun
-Hellsing(both versions)
-Tenchi Muyo(only the OVA and Universe)
-Samurai X
-Rurouni Kenshin
-Outlaw Star
-Gundam Wing
-The Vision of Escaflowne
-Fullmetal Alchemist(both versions)
-Wolf's Rain
-Cardcaptor Sakura(including the second movie)

Personal Recommendations:
-Chrono Crusade(I also highly suggest the manga)
-Peach Girl
-Shikabane Hime(Corpse Princess)
-Elfen Lied
-Ceres Celestial Legend(seriously, only read the manga)
- Perfect Blue
-Blue Seed
-Chibi Vampire Karin
-Samurai Champloo
-Love Hina

A lot of the shows I like have a smaller amount of episodes, as I'm not a fan of ones that go on for 100+ episodes. The thing with something like Inuyasha is that the story starting out is really good, but you don't need to watch all 167 episodes because after, about episode 30-ish, over 50% are filler.

I'm really getting tired of Rumple honestly. He's the Dark One, he's not the Dark One, then the Dark One...again. They tried making him a hero, but just decided at the last second to scrap the idea because why on earth would he ever be anything other than evil? :hmm: I love this show, but I am really getting sick of Rumple being the go to Big Bad every season as it makes me think they've run out of ideas.
