John Woo sucks after 93.

[Despair]

Correction, after 97. Face Off was last of his good movies.

I do enjoy MI2, for it being campy fun

I can't wait for the scene with Samus sliding down the banister dual-weilding 9mm's and shooting a bunch of Chinese.

It will have to have massive explosions behind her and be in slow motion the whole time.

I imagine Nintendo's tight with the licensing, I mean, if there's nothing like that yet, which begs the question... how did that Joyride shit get made?

The same Nintendo that licenses boxer shorts to be sold in Wal-mart and the crappy candy near the checkouts in Gamestop? I doubt they're very stingy. I just think toy makers are too dumb to realize what a gold mine they could have there.

I think the problem is that they mistake the past failures of Joyride and Toy Biz's Nintendo-themed lines as a sign that the licenses aren't viable, when in actuality they weren't viable because the toys those guys made just sucked. A Smash Bros. line with decent sculpts would sell goddamn gangbusters, no doubt.

THAT'S FUNNY THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A METROID ACTION FIGURE

Though that was a questionable decision, sure, I suspect it was slightly more lucrative for... uh... somebody... okay, I gotcha.

I can't really think of another good reason. I mean, sure, they whore out Mario characters, but it always seemed like they were reluctant to sell Metroid shit to me. Which sucks because it had really cool designs til Retro ruined everything.

If the vision behind Hard Target is at the helm I have absolute faith in it.

There was a series of Metroid Fusion Trading Figures (the small, blind-boxed things) solicited on several sites awhile back, but those never actually materialized.

The Space Pirates and the human characters in 3 were really the only thing I thought they were off the mark with. Samus' suit never looked better, although I wasn't a fan of the Dark Suit in MP2. The Phazon Suit, Light Suit, and PED(?) Suit were all tits, though.
