What are the chances......I purchase 2 ENT Ds, and 2 AGT ENTs. And, I get one lemon ENT D, and one malformed AGT ENT. Go figure!  rolleyes.gif

Anyway, DST will replace my ENT D, but I just found out that they cannot replace the AGT ENT. I'll have to work with the seller to replace that ship, and the seller will have to work with Action Figures.

Ok, I finally received my AGT Ent D. It's a nice ship. Personally, I think that it looks meaner than the regular D, and it looks more like a warship. I really think that it's the best starship to date; better than the regular D.

The BIG negative on the ship was the quality control of the ship. My ship was beat up. It looked as though the ship was kicked around the factory before they packaged it. I've got skid marks on the bottom, and on the third nacllle. The third nacelle even looks like a reject. There appears to be a bit of melting on the nacelle at the front. These are big negatives and I'm probably going to try and get a replacement from DST.

If I decide to keep it, does anyone know what color comes close to, or matches the shade of the ship?




This is to JonWes, thanks for that recommendation! Those guys were a little slow on shipping, but they were good overall. smile.gif

I dont know I look at the successful DC movies and I see well known people. Examples: Heath Ledger, to some extent Bale, Oldman, Liam Neeson. I think you need a mix of the two between unknown and known. For bigger flicks you can get away with unknown people because people will go see them naturally. For smaller flicks like GL maybe WW, you need a healthy mix to get people interested. Once again I think Marvel has done a wonderful job casting most of their movies and I can think of very few that were not done well (Ghost Rider for instance).



Ghost Rider was horrible! I like Nicholas Cage as an actor; as he's grown and matured from his cheesy 80s teen flicks. But, he just wasn't the Ghost Rider. At one time, he was even being considered for Superman (post Christopher Reeves). Thank god that feel through. Did anyone ever see Nick Fury? A real stinker with David Hasselhoff.

Marvel for the most part has done alright with their casting, but they had dropped the ball too. Not to step on anyone's toes here but Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane was all wrong. Kirsten is just not that pretty and has a weird peculiar face. Her eyes are so unattractive, and when she gazes at you, or looks directly into the camera, it's like run for the hills. Again, I hope that I didn't offend any of her fans here. Famke Jansen as Jean Grey was also bad IMHO. She looked like Cylop's mother, rather than a love interest. She was too old for that role.

Hollywood goes too much with the flavor of the month club, and they forget that the actors have to have some type of resemblance to the comic character; and that they have to fit the characters' demographics. A fourty something playing a twenty something is hard to sell.

It more than about having a great body with Megan Fox, she has a really beautiful face. Her beauty even seems to overwhelm Angelina's beauty. JMHO biggrin.gif
