Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Yeah, I'm definitely passing on this. That may actually be worse than the initial BD release of Evil Dead 2.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

I understand that.

For me, I can't support a mediocre or bad product. There are other companies (specializing in Cult film) that pour lots of time/love into their product (Synapse Films comes to mind first), that it's almost inexcusable that Full Moon is still botching their releases.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Yeah and they will never be able to pay me back if no one buys it.

So please everyone; buy it!

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Don't worry, I'll buy it during one of their usual sales.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

If anyone was waiting on the PM:AOE BR Trunk, their site lists an available quantity of only 13 left. That might not be completely representative of remaining stock but having checked it infrequently over the course of the year that number does seem in keeping with the on hand stock level trend.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Now 8 left.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Sometime between then and now they finally sold out.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Well in true Full Moon fashion they found 1 more box:

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Which will magically be able to be orderd 10 or 12 times :lol:

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

To clarify: 1 more box of 80 trunks

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Their website makes it impossible to order from Canada or other countries.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

....Which will magically be able to be ordered 10 or 12 more times :lol:

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

I would love to get two and three, but I will wait until they split them up. Don't really want to get Puppetmaster on blu all over again.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Over $50 with the shipping, way too rich for my blood, I'll wait until they have a 50% off sale.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

I'll wait til their all on blu.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Really? I don't think you want to go much past Part III at all, regardless of format.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

They will be sold split up as well but since they remastered the first one and it has a new commentary, I'll just pick up the set the next time there's a sale.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Part 3 is my favourite but I may get the 3 pack since I didn't get the first one.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

I have the Puppet Master DVD Boxset, but I might wait on reviews before buying the first three on BD.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

I don't think the first one will be different, that shows the same cover and catalog number for the current BD.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

I'm a huge fan of the series, but I can't bring myself to buy any of the Blu-rays. Just not interested. I'm fine with how the DVDs look.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

One thing to keep in mind is, with the first on at least, it was in 16:9, whereas every release before was 4:3. So even if you don't care about HD, you at least get more viewing area.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

I actually think you are getting less.

Pretty much all the Full Moon movies were shot with home video in mind. Puppet Master got a small theatrical release (as did Meridian and Crash and Burn and I think weirdly Bad Channels) but I believe they were all just 1:33 matted to 1:85 (or maybe even 1:66) so a 4:3 image actually probably showed you MORE picture, although probably nothing of merit.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

I've seen comparison shots, you do see more on the 16:9

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

But were they shot anamorphic or spherical? If the latter, although 1.85:1 might be the intended ratio, you would still need to crop the top and bottom to achieve it. If the former, we'd get a 2.40:1 aspect ratio once the image is stretched back to it's proper aspect ratio.

Which is why I find the following curious:

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

With Slipcase!

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Maybe it'll be easier to just wait for the boxset. It's going to come eventually.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Just got this from amazon...

They left part 3 open though, but I cancelled it as two was the one I really wanted. I guess Full Moon wants us to go through their site?

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

It'll probably be the cheapest option if you wait for their 50% off sale.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

OMG! Thats Sad- The reason why I bought the Volume 1 set is to see in High Definition the exposed chest of Charlie Spradling

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Is the audio sync problem fixed for the first film?

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

My boxed set pre-order got canceled from Amazon as well. I wonder if Paramount finally decided to say something about things and maybe Band does not actually own the rights to the movies?

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

That's odd. Any benefit to keeping them exclusive to Full Moon Direct? Supposedly alot of rights reverted back to Charlie in the last couple years.
Just saw on a Puppet Master Forum:
Also, if you're wondering what's the deal with Amazon pre-orders, Charles had this to say:
"The retail release will be later this year. They will all be available next week on fullmoondirect.com Sept 18th!"

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

They don't have to pay Amazon 15%. If you have the means to sell it through your own store, there's no reason not to. It also has the added benefit of turning some people that buy their stuff through Amazon into starting to go through their own store.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

They do run a curious ship. I worry a bit about them though as they stuff they are making not isn't going to be as good in 20-30 years as the stuff they made 20-30 years ago is now.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

You can preorder now for $40 and get the blu-ray, dvd, and theatrical sized poster. . In other words, the dvd ends up costing $0, if you bought them separately.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

Definitely post up when you get it, I'm curious about the quality.

88 Films put out the first 3 Puppet Master films on Blu-Ray as well as being set to release other films from the Full Moon library.

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

The only difference for 2 and 3 I know of are that the UK releases have lossless audio and the US releases don't

Re: Puppet Master and Puppet Master: Axis of Evil Coming to BLu-Ray
 

I've only seen bits and pieces of the original puppet master and I almost bought the blu ray box set but then I remembered about the 88 films releases from the UK. Also, the 3 subspecies films will be released next week with better specs.

http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=208768

My question is, as blind buys, are the puppet master and subspecies movies worth it? If im going to get them, id rather spend the extra cash and get the better releases.
