Heheheheh I watched Videodrome at a very early age and liked it more than is probably healthy, so Random and Bushwhacker’s powers make me happy and I just love how weird and gross they are.

If you like Videodrome, you may like The Substance.   It's a body horror movie starring Demi Moore.  It's rather awesome.  My favorite movie of the year.  It gets way more extreme than Videodrome, though.  But at least it's funny which makes the gore palatable. 

I'm thinking of cracking and getting the Punisher/Bushwhacker 2pk.  Was going to hold off for a sale, but it's tempting me.

 

I really enjoyed The Substance as well. I don't seek out body horror, but I enjoy a good body horror flick.

Speaking of body horror, I find the the timing of Bushwacker perfect for Fall as I'm going through my Gordon/Lovecraft films right now (as well as the Universal Monster Collection--can't wait for NECA's forthcoming figures).  Watched The Substance trailer.  Thanks for mentioning the film.  Can't believe this is the 1st time I've heard of it.  Nice to see Demi acting again.

YES. It’s my favorite movie of the year as well!! Give Demi Moore the Oscar, seriously!

So with the new green Quicksilver I'll say I only need maybe 3 more versions of the character, his Onslaught look, his AOA look, and the blue one we already got redone pinless, all of which should come with RUNNING HANDS!

If it’s Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider I’ll be psyched.

Running hands?  Like the running hands they already have made?  On a character who is a runner?  Who is pictured on the box running WITH running hands?

No.  Weird grip/clutching hands. Obviously.

@yojoebro82 Yeah even McFarlane is starting to get better with proper hands included with figures. It would seem running hands is a no brainer.

I'll need to see Superman without a trigger finger hand first.....then I will entertain this 😀

Honestly, both companies, Hasbro and McFarlane Toys, get Ds in this category.  Both are sitting on warehouse fulls of these hands already made.  ALL that needs to be done is put the correct hands with the correct character.  It costs no money to do it correctly.  Hasbro once gave a character that came packaged with a two-wheeled vehicle fist hands and splayed hands.......NO grip hands to hold the handlebars.  The figure couldn't stay on the vehicle they came packaged with! Who knows who I'm talking about?  That was a half dozen years ago, this is the learning curve we're dealing with.

This one mostly fits that bill, although I don't believe she came with fist hands but just splayed hands.

Did the Walmart Quicksilver already go up for preorder? I'm usually on top of things but Walmart's the one place I miss sometimes, suddenly wondering if I blinked and missed it already.

I hope that we get a classic, "Avengers nanny" costume Squirrel Girl, soon.

@docsilence they opened up preorders in Europe a couple weeks ago.  If I'm not mistaken, he will be available to preorder stateside in October; I think people were suggesting during the Walmart collector con?

They did Squirrel Girl so dirty. She needed her own base body.
