I agree with you Bartman, Charlize looks yummy in that suit. And the new video game which is out now, looks alot like the new film with elements of the show, and plays just like the show, so that should be fun to check out as well.

And C, I wouldn't mind a sculpt of the movie Aeon, but I still prefer the creative masterpiece that was the animated version, and would still like to get one of those if I could!

I have the original and not only is it a funky scale, but it is super fragile. And not a great sculpt either!

You can still get 'em every now and again on eBaY for around $30.00.

Yeah I remember that one, it looked wack but it was the only one out there wasn't it? I'd prefer a new sculpt of that version of the character though!

If you are talking about the original Aeon Flux it was not CGI. More like traditional animation, maybe with a big anime influence. I think you meant anime instead of manga as manga is the book form.

Like Zurb said it's traditional 2D animation, or more like American Anime" which really is like an oxymoron in itself, but it's very nicely done as far as visually shot. Chung thought alot like shooting a film, and where he could get nice camera angles. It's some really neat stuff. They do look like they're drawn "manga-inspired" but still have their own look. It's definitely worth the pick up. I think we paid $25+tax for the box.

Yeah i'm thinking of ordering a few items from Amazon.

It was wack, but it was true to the way the cartoon was done. Just the big scale and lack of a base is what I'm really not too nuts about.
