Good Guy Design

[chucky115awesome]

Always loved how the good guy looked similar to child's play 2 doll In the first 10 minutes.However could he have gotten the same "alive" look for the film since he had a new body. 

[Spanky]

Yeah it started out well, but it quickly ended, lol.

Are we talking about his look going from doll mode to alive mode?

If so, I agree. Between Chucky being on an all Hostess diet and his eyes looking human when in alive mode killed the transitions.

[blah]

Chucky looked awful in CP3. He didn't have the sinister look he had in CP2. Instead he looked like a goblin. I think the only movie where Chucky looked scary ALL the time is in CP2. I'm about to share an unpopular opinion, but when he started to look more human in CP1, he also started to look less scary. In CP2 he looked and sounded scary in both doll and alive mode.

[Gee]

I agree, when I think of Chucky in his most frightening, I think CP2.

[Spanky]

Definitely, just half of his expressions and the transitions from doll to alive is super spooky.

[Dragon Prime]

Chucky looked like Donald Trump in CP3. lol. 

[blah]

Even Spanky's avatar and signature are giving me the creeps.

Or what about the shot from upstairs where he's looking up towards the stairs. It's so creepy to see him listening to Joanne hum to Andy.

[Spanky]

Yeah that scene with him at the bottom of the stairs was pretty intense. Just so out in the open in the room.

[Dragon Prime]

Yeah... then comes across Tommy and treats him like a real person in his punishment.

Also broke JoAnne's statue... heartless.

Yeah unfortunately CP3 didn't quite capture what the first two films did. I blame it on Universal for wanting a rushed sequel.

There is even a shot where he's moving towards Tyler when he's telling him his real name and you can see mechanical stuff behind his neck that his long hair is supposed to be covering.

I have to say the best scene is the Sgt. Botnick kill. The transition was smooth... for the most part and the seeing his eyes come to life prior to killing him looked good.

But yeah... aside from Curse, CP3 was the worst looking non-stitched Chucky. Again I blame the time crunch more so than Kevin Yeager or his team.

[blah]

I always felt it was creepy how he treated Tommy like a real person. Like he's a "fellow comrade" even though Chucky isn't a "doll come to life", he's a human soul. "Shut up you idiot!"

Did anybody else think for the longest time that it was Chucky doing the humming, and not Joanne? I always thought it looked/sounded like him doing it, especially the closeup when he's moving his face slightly. Right before his "shit".

[Spanky]

Yeah, one thing though is that I can kind of excuse it for the most part because CP3 is supposed to take place 8 years later. In those 8 years the Good Guy doll halted production and was restarted. So persobally I can just write it off as "Oh well after 8 years maybe they made a new design" and that is good enough for me, lol.

[Dragon Prime]

Well I worked with injection molds and I know how fragile they can be. Granted it also depends on the type of product and the kind of resin or plastic being used. So it isn't far fetched to think that maybe the original Good Guy molds were exposed to too many elements which is why they had to make a new design. Also that one did say "The Good Guy if the 90's" which can easily lead one to believe that they went in a somewhat new direction.

This is why I say they can use Play Pals in a modern film. Some company will make a straight re-elease of an old item because they have the mold rights... or they'll make modernized versions of old stuff because nostalgia sells and it sells well.

As a collector myself I see it all the time with various things. Here it is 2014 and I can right now walk into Toys R Us right now and buy Power Rangers that harken to the 1993 toys. Expensive as hell but insanely awesome.
