Honestly it's not the opinion. I mean getting angry at someone's opinion is stupid. Everyone's is different and that should be accepted, not berated.

I think it's more how you word it. For all I know this is the fault of interpreting tone through text, but your responses to peoples' counter-arguments tend to come off sounding condescending with a "Well you obviously have no clue what you're talking about" kind of feel. Like your desire for screen accuracy is totally cool cause you're not the only person who'd want that, but the way it reads sounds like you're being really anal about it.

Again, it's probably not how you intended it to come off as.

I deliberately peppered my posts with :lol smileys to try and show I wasn't, like, getting mad or anything stupid, because I know how easy it is to assume the worst, and I try really hard not to assume myself.

But when the post after rather noticably blows off my entire opinion, that's BS.

The problem here is I don't consider the figure looking more like a stylistic interpretation verses and actual attempt at replicating the show costume "anal." It's a collector-level line at collector-level price but not collector-level quality. To me this is no differnet than the roided up ranger figures MOA makes. Both are extreme interpretations rather than being faithful to the show appearence. I thought that's why SIC exists. I mean hell, Bandai remade Kabuto for the express purpose of making him totally accurate. They're whole new goal is absolute show-accuracy, hence the little creases in the suits like they're fabric.

But when the point of Figuarts is accuracy, to the point where they include a wine glass because it's something he did in the show, don't just wave away legitimate critisms with accuracy liek it's nothing.

The helmet is also wrong, BTW. The eyes are off and the "brow" is too pronounced. Considering the price of these, I'm not sure I want to pay $50 for "close enough."

Hey, it's cool that you don't like it, you saved some money, I get what Bandai is doing, so I'm perfectly fine with it :) I think Bandai is doing a really good representation of the character, and it's not off enough; especially with the new body, to warrant a renewal for probably quite some time, and if and when that happens, I'll be getting that too :)

so yeah we have to agree to disagree :)

So Locke got his name from Ender's Game and not LOST, Final Fantasy 6, the historical John Locke from which the Ender's Game Locke is derived, or even the echidna? :lol

Locke 03-06-2014 04:13 PM
I'm amazed people even know I got it from Lost! :lol

Y'know.

If we have Figuarts sharp enough to cut people…I'm dreading to see what sort of Damage Mister Dangerous here can do.
