Vampirella team up with Adam West's Batman conjures up a totally different image to her and the modern Dark Knight working together.<br /><br />You'll be seeing a lot more of The Ace of Spades crew and learning all about them real soon.<br /><br />I thought you'd appreciate the size comparison shot of the WTW Scavengers.<br /><br />Indeed, we must wait and see if the writing alleviates the negative comments about the new Doctor. With a clean slate, anything is possible.

Actually, whilst I obviously disliked Bill Potts's character, she did have a good send off and her transformation to a Cyberman and back to a... whatever? was her most noteworthy performance in the whole series. I suspect it may be a while before Warlord Games produces a Jodie Whittaker Doctor, but we'll see. Yes, I too, would love to see her go up against Missy, or will it be a new Missy as well?Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-13125347751066247242017-07-30T14:25:01.986+01:002017-07-30T14:25:01.986+01:00Interesting stuff Bryan, yes she does look better ...Interesting stuff Bryan, yes she does look better blue! (there that's that out of the way). Will check out (and probably follow), your new blog, "Ace of Spades" maybe the "Good ship Cleavage", might be a more apt name, at least they'll always have somewhere to store any extra guns they might pick up along the way ;-)<br /><br />Nice to see the old Grenadier not "ABC warrior Morrigun" figure amongst the crew.<br /><br />As for the female Doctor, I don't think it's the worst decision the BBC has made of late (but then they have made some stinkers IMHO). It's the writing that turned me off of the series as much as the actors they have chosen. So it doesn't really matter to me as I wont be watching anyway.<br /><br />Cheers Roger.

Now, if it was Adam West 60s era it might be a different story.<br /><br />The Ace of Spades crew are looking good. Looking forward to seeing them in action.<br /><br />The blue skin colour does make a big difference. I had been keeping a eye out for the repaint and comparison. It really works.<br /><br />As for the Doctor I will always be a Tom Baker man. I do think the BBC missed the opportunity to add the likes of Romana and the the Rani. It would be nice to have another Gallifreyan companion/opponent. <br /><br />Only time will tell if the new Doctor can pull it off. I hope so as a failure will be blamed on the gender swap rather that poor writing or characterisation.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Jason O' Mahonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825753992244200653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-80348316464513312017-07-30T11:44:44.000+01:002017-07-30T11:44:44.000+01:00That's a great picture of Vampirella and Batma...That's a great picture of Vampirella and Batman Bryan, and real "food for thought" about a possible gaming hook-up in the future??<br />As for the new blog, it looks VERY promising :-) I tried to post a comment when it first appeared (but it was obviously still a WIP), just to say for anyone interested, that the WOIN rules are available at a discounted price on DriveThrough until the end of the month (tomorrow!)<br />Totally agree with your comments about The Doctor (though I thought Bill Potts played the "Cyber transformation" really well in the season finale).<br />It would be great if Warlord Games can be quick off the mark and release a Jodie Whittaker version of The Doctor - fancy a "handbags at noon" encounter with Missy?!The Wargame Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654413349305659155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-76189413355928315692017-07-30T11:30:58.687+01:002017-07-30T11:30:58.687+01:00Fair comment, Clint.

Sherlock Holmes for example, Morse as another. <br /><br />But I am referring ONLY to <br />" Male action hero who does not resort to violence to sole the issues."<br /><br />Which is the second line of my post. <br /><br />But you are correct we are all allowed to like and dislike different things. "Death in Paradise" is a very good series and one I enjoy very much as well. However it is not an action series. I cannot recall there every being much gunplay, fist-fighting or even swordplay. <br /><br />But as you say we can all have very different opinios on the same subject and we can all be right without the others being wrong.<br /><br /><br />Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-75963895511674500042017-07-30T10:48:49.067+01:002017-07-30T10:48:49.067+01:00Thanks, Dave.

Still, I respect your opinion, even if I don't agree with you. By the way, I can think of many male heroes who have never resorted to violence to solve problems. "Death in Paradise" is one of my favourite TV series and the three male lead characters who have appeared so far have never resorted to violence to solve a crime. Theirs is a more cerebral approach.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-2694331665723755022017-07-30T10:44:13.447+01:002017-07-30T10:44:13.447+01:00Another interesting musings Bryan, great art pic o...Another interesting musings Bryan, great art pic of vampirella, like your blue mutant an interesting take.

Nothing against the actress at all but I would like the BBC to balance it by having a Male action hero who does not resort to violence to sole the issues.<br /><br />Other than Dr Who I can think of none on the BBC (or any other channel) It is almost as if they are saying that Males HVAE to use violence to solve problems. <br /><br />This may not be their intention of course and we can all think of Men in real life that do not but surely they are pushing it that way.<br /><br />Or maybe the Actress will START having a violent Dr ad always resorting to a violent/confrontational out come.<br /><br />Climbing off of my soap box now.<br /><br />Nothing against you, Nothing against the Actress but I am disaponted in the BBC>Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-3696392242990351112017-07-30T10:16:41.098+01:002017-07-30T10:16:41.098+01:00Many thanks, Tim.
