Things We Saw Today: Power Rangers Go Pop!

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:05 pm, September 25th, 2012


Funko has unveiled their latest Pop! figures (we were previously excited about the Game of Thrones collection) and it’s the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! (via Comics Alliance) 

A Kotobukiya female character statue that isn’t all overly breasty and bent over? FemShep says this is call for celebration! (via Kotaku)

  • Even though the latest James Bond film hasn’t been released yet, there’s a rumor going around Benedict Cumberbatch will play the next one’s villain. I’m ok with it. (via MTV)
  • Amy Poehler and Julia Louis-Dreyfus accidentally switched acceptance speeches at the Emmy Awards. Hilarity ensued. (via THR)
  • In other women in comedy news, Tina Fey has secured a 4-year deal with Universal Television. That means developing lots of new projects with the potential to star in one. (via THR)

This is what National Geographic believes is the first message in a bottle ever sent. It’s 98 years old and was pulled out of the North Sea by a Scottish fisherman. (via io9)

    I am so torn on the Femme!Shep figure. Aesthetically I like it but because of the “anime” face, it just doesn’t look like Shepard to me. (And I say that as a professional anime nerd.)

    There’s also the overly form-fitting nature of her top (though I haven’t played the games, so let me know if this is simply being faithful to them). Not bad overall, though.

    Hm..the tightness aspect is totally faithful. The character (and her male counterpart) wear very skintight tactical gear. Where it’s unfaithful is in the different color calling out her breasts, which I haven’t seen in any of the gear on my Mass Effect Shepard (only played ME1). I could also say that her bust is a bit bigger on the figure, but it looks like that grew a little in ME2 and 3 as well. If anything, the armor on the figure is a little bulkier than what I feel like Shepard usually wears.

    Here’s a screenshot of female Shepard in ME1, albeit wearing a helmet (she didn’t wear that much in the game, so no-helmet Shep is fine):

    It’s exaggerated in the figure, but her armor is shaped to show off her breasts in the game so it’s not *too* off.

    This is the art for default FemShep in ME3 they’re probably basing the figure on. I think they’re combining the armored look here with the light-armor look in ME1 to make her bust more pronounced. http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/08/Mass-Effect-3-the-real-female-shepard.jpg
    And yeah, as someone that played all three games they DEFINITELY made her bustier in the third game. She’s got a bigger ass in that one, too.

    You might want to look up their statue of Supergirl to figure out why this one was such a relief.

    A Walking Dead blood drive? The folks of True Blood must be slapping their heads.

  • TKS

    Hell, their Liara is a pretty good example of why this is a relief too: http://nendogamer.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/21358-550x-liara-header.jpg

    I’m still sad Bioware doesn’t sell a femshep action figure.

    Soon ;)

  • TKS

    Yeah, I saw that. But there’s a difference between an action figure and a collectable figure. Included in those differences is about 50 bucks.

    Needs lots more boob, they got smaller from the art concept! If you don’t like bendy and boobs stay away from the bishoujo line, which is a pinup line and supposed to feature hawt anime girls pinups.
    And she doesn’t look bustier/bigger ass in ME3 imo, it depends on what armor pieces you pick, as they have different shapes from each other, even the casual outfits, each has different sized ass/boobs/body shape etc.
