How could Dino be...Well of course Dino is not dead! How could Dino be gone but not the Flintstones? No, Mystique was just talking crazy smack. lol<br /><br />And I love the whole premise behind the X-Men. It just makes for a really great storyline. Unlike most super heroes, the X-Men are misunderstood and live in a world where they are hated and hunted down. Plus the X-Men has some really strong female characters that get their chances at some great story.<br /><br />I have not seen the latest Arrow yet, but I do know some things. He was meant to be a reflection of the times, the writers gave him edgier stories to reflect what was going on in society at the time, like him helping the underserved and what not. He was in a way the voice of a newer generation that was looking at the world differently form those who had grown up with the older super heroes. And he should be a Heroic Hottie, but you hit the nail on the head. I do not have any figures of him! lol But keep telling me how the older comics are, I bet they are good.Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-3634483619086097222012-10-22T21:54:58.510-05:002012-10-22T21:54:58.510-05:00Yes Mystique uses the same repaint as Madame Hydra...Yes Mystique uses the same repaint as Madame Hydra and most of the same reused parts for Madame Masque too. I think Hasbro will reuse most of these parts for other female characters as well, though the White Phoeniz figure they showed at NYCC looks to be showing some new parts.

I'm a big ass Hanna Barbera fan so I care about things like this-may Dino "Rarr-rar-rar-rar-ra-ra-rah!" as a living member of the Flintstones for as long as cartoons live-which I believe is forever, unless they come in contact with Christopher Lloyd with a big can of green stuff. <br />But I don't wanna hate mystique, because I always felt the whole mutant liberation aspect of X-men made the villains -or at least the main ones-similar to Malcolm X(funny cuz the name X and all-even though the prof is more like Martin Luthor King and Magneto is the real Malcolm X kinda guy)and that's probably why-no matter how much I want to-for him taking all the credit from Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko-or at least taking some of the money that should be owed to them-I can't even dislike Stan Lee-and I can't not think he is a genius. I just wish some of the other guys got the mainstream credit he gets all the time.<br /> But in TV news -did you see Kelly Hu on Arrow this week? Not bad work though we don't know her whole characters story yet. And I got my compilation of old-school Silver Age Green Arrow in the mail, so it is going to be a bit weird reading them while watching the show. I am already through a bunch(they are fast to get through as -I believe for most of his early life the Arrow served as a backup feature-so his stories are very short.)I'm not sure if you know this aspect of him or not but he did start out as a bit of a Batman rip-off. Rich guy, secret identity, had a young ward(not for gay reasons no matter what "funny" people want to say)had an "Arrow Car" kinda like the "Batmobile"-DC was reaching in the late 40's and early 50's, but they ended up with a pretty great character over time. Especially if you've ever read the Green Lantern Green Arrow crossover books from the 70's. <br /> He really did become like a liberal crusader for the underclass- a veritable Robin Hood! <br />and I'm sorry miss M-but I believe he has had enough toys made of him at this time-he warrants a "Heroic Hottie" Column. You know he does! You probably just don;t have any of the toys!<br />spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-44099377183493992072012-10-19T01:59:08.158-05:002012-10-19T01:59:08.158-05:00Yeah there have been some major changes in the wor...Yeah there have been some major changes in the world of Marvel. Interesting changes. I am curious to see where things go.<br /><br />I'm sure Dino isn't chillin in the Smithsonian. That would just be so wrong. And i will need to check out the Funko Gruesomes, that sounds really cool!<br /><br />And four aint bad! lol Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-34446286234398353472012-10-18T23:46:56.780-05:002012-10-18T23:46:56.780-05:00Wow I guess I really have shifted over to the DC s...Wow I guess I really have shifted over to the DC side of things because I am really behind on anything going on in the world of X-men. I was lost on the whole Phoenix 5 thing.<br /> But I hope when the real Fred Flintstone stands up we find out that Dino is alive and well and living in Bedrock. <br />Since we were discussing Adam's Family the other day I should point out that Funco has an excellent looking couple of figures for the Gruesomes-Bedrocks version of the Adam's Family- I don't believe they have any Frankentones figures sadly (I guess they would have been Bedrock's Munter's) <br /> I feel honored to be one of your blog's "Two readers" -although since three people have commented so far that means including me you just got bumped up to four! yabba dabba doo for you! <br />spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-27711523680253052472012-10-18T23:32:57.427-05:002012-10-18T23:32:57.427-05:00Oh that is nothing.
