One Good Thing To Come Out Of The Underdog Movie
Mezco's whipping up some great new figures this summer, presumably on the heels of the upcoming movie. Wisely, these look like the cartoon designs - I'm assuming the less-than-spectacular sales of the live-action Flintstones and Grinch toys had something to do with that. Cool!If quantity's your thing, you can pre-order a case of Underdog figures for $167.99 + shipping at Entertaiment Earth.

Yeah...a 3-D version using the above designs sure woulda been sweet.... I have fond memories of watching that show as a kid.
Personally, I'd rather see a 2-D feature. Translating this kind of thing into 3-D is a big pain, and ultimately it'd wind up being a lot more expensive without really bringing much more to the party.
Okay...you are right. I guess I was just trying to follow the logic of the producers, etc..
"Let's make it FRESH, etc.. for a new generation.
I think when I heard it was live action, my heart sank.
I thought well heck, at the very least just take it into 3-D (I'm actually picturing it pulled back quite a bit from the level of detail in The Incredibles) But just taking these wonderful character designs and realizing them in 3-D...like these wonderful figurines you are highlighting here.
Now...back to what you said. Yes, a 2-D feature would be sweet....or heck even a new tv show...if the drivers had the passion and vision for it. Ala Fosters. Could be way cool...I admit it.
