Lol, same with me.

The really funny thing was, that toys were made for any movie that had action. Robocop, Terminator 2....which (Can't remember Robo.) were both Rated R, which is a no-no nowadays.....*Sigh* Thanks to Soccer-moms, there will be no Daredevil toy line......

*Eye of Sarnath* · 02-15-2003, 08:24 PM

Yeah, I always wondered, how many kids are going to buy toys based on a movie they probably won't be allowed to see for a couple years? I guess the adult collectors like them.

Hmmm...
Funny, I still have my T-800 from the original series.....With an arm missing....just like...the movie...

That's why we have McFarlane to provide us big kids with little "Violent" toys.

Don't bash yugioh. I like both yugioh and tmnt.

Okay...first off I also play video games...hell I work in the R zone which is the video game department of the store...what I meant by the statement I made was this...kids prefer games over figures...they get a visual with a video game... with figures you create an enviroment...When I was young I played both video games and figures...but I must say I had much more fun with my action figures and created battles that lasted days sprawled across my bedroom floor....I just don't see that anymore seriously...kids seem to not have as much of an imagination...not that video games is the prime reason for this...I just think video games have blown up to a younger audience all too quickly... let me go on and say some parents don't help either... I was in a Target the other day and this little kid with his mom was looking at the toys...he said I want this ninja sword!!! (the kitana/Leo weapon set) She said why??... what are you going to do with that?... then he said well what about this guy with a sword (Leo figure)...she said no...and suggested a cartoon vhs or video game... I mean let the kid invent and have fun... Finally again I don't hate video games...infact by working with them...I know like everything about them...lol.(can't wait for a ps2 TMNT game!!!) ..I just wish kids still showed the same sort of imagination... but anywho....I dislike Yu-gi-oh greatly.... and maybe it's just because I have to sell those stupid cards and video games all day...I'm not a big fan of Potter either (used to work at a bookstore...lol) But anyway gotta goooo...

She'd rather let the kid get a video game than an action figure? My mom would sooner let me get a $5 than a $50 game!

I've written two papers on that argument to the letter while in high school (wrote one of them this year as a matter of fact). Each one got an "A" grade...go figure.

EDIT: Why don't we start a thread about this in GD? I'll start it.

What I think it is amazing that some of the shows from the '80s are coming back and kids like them. I tolerate the newer fads such as Pokemon and Harry Potter. I deal with it in the bookstore that I work at.

yugioh is the most retarded show in the world

Donatello02 · 02-17-2003, 12:11 PM

Anyway, why aren't they making Daredevil figures??? ToyBiz would've done a great job with those like they did with the Spider Man movie figures.

There are DD movie figures. There's the 6" DD from Marvel Lengends.

Yu Gi Oh is an abomination of mankind, and along with Pokemon, Cardcaptor and everyother crappy kiddy anime is a BIG reason why anime gets a bad name with some folks.

NOTHING beats the old days of video gaming, back when it was about fun over state of the art 3d cel shaded graphics(ie: late 80's console and arcade gaming, oh yeah...the sweet days!)

I hate Mcfarlane figure styles(Cept some of the anime ones) they reinvented the industry from cool 4" Toy Bix figures to 8" hardly any points of articulation/or too mmuch articulation grostesque statues.

Kids these days have been ruined with over abundant cgi movies, and graphics over substance video games. No wonder kids probably think the original Star Wars trilogy is a bore, and retro gaming sucks.

Though I have played Doom 3, what will be the first ever beyond crazy full cgi game...and let me tell you, it makes any game out there look like freaking Pacman graphics, HOLY SH** factor, and violence wise.
