Subeta -

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I dont see why everyone says we already have this. The calavera was less nightmare before x-mas and more day of the dead to me...I get the jack reference in it but its not so out there.

But anyway, I love that corpse bride became a trunk. A bit underwhelmed by the art, its a little too cartoony for my liking D: But its still fun.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

How very underwhelming. And as if we've been begging for Corpse Bride. Phail.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The female one offers an awesome base, zombies should rejoice! I've already swiped one to use when the Pandemic roles back around!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Really disappointed. :/ To me, there are just so many other items like this and it's gotten old. Not only that, but with CW's completely taking over the site, I would have really liked to see something the rest of Subeta needs. On a lighter note though, I could see myself using about 3 items from the female trunk. Though they're certainly not something I'd scramble to get. Sigh.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well for me, the body paint alone is worth the 500 csc^^ And still cheaper than 1 single cw : )

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Totally agreeing with the people who have pointed out that CW artists jump through hoops to make their items different from the original references and Subeta artists seem to have no such restrictions. I won't waste cash on this trunk.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay! I was Emily for halloween..I love Corpse Bride! <3

Not a fan of the art. It does seem like quite a step back from most of the beautiful things that were being released recently. And I can only imagine the frustration of the people who make CWs.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

WANT DAT BACKDROP

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yes please!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm not seeing what's wrong with the art (except the eyes, which I think might be intentional?) and I am SUPER picky. It does look blurry on the trunk preview page, but that always happens for me - the items themselves aren't blurry.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hell, I'm with you on that, I see basically no changes and definitely not a fan of the trunk, either. Buying from user shops for few items i where I'm at.

Pretty sure I'm not whining. I'm stating the obvious. The changes (and I honestly see like one change on each set) are minimal. I don't make CWs, and I'm not gonna buy the trunk, and I really don't care about the legal issues. But this isn't the first subeta released set that I thought was too close to the "original" idea, and I have seen people go though A LOT of trouble to make CWs look different than the original.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Stop whining and moaning. . ❤️

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I hope you guys brought popcorn! There's enough bitching and moaning to go around.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

People whining about CW changes vs. official changes is just silly. Looking at this it's obvious that there are at least four changes to it. Even if it's a bit more minimal of a change, such as color hue, it's still a change. Not to mention that, yes, Subeta has lawyers and the means of arguing that the official staff made the necessary changes that are required by law. And if need be they are able to make changes quicker. And I believe Keith has stated that he has contracts with certain companies ? Or something similar, cannot recall completely right now. Are all reference items going to be met with such crap now ? The only thing that I find silly is that the Calavera set mixes in the Corpse Bride items (the skeleton arm, the bride outfit, etc). But really that's not going to stop me from loving these sets.

How nice. I was corps bride for halloween.

I like these but I also love how CWs get bitched at and artists frozen and warned over stuff like this when Subeta is like HERPTYDERP LET&;S DOO IT CUZ WE GOT LIKES DAH POWAH AND LIKES LAWYERS AND SHIT.

LOL, having lawyers is probably pretty useful.

(I didn't realize how similar they were at first since I've only seen the movie once. Hopefully they know what they are doing. >_>)

Finally! :D I need to get all the female items and the dog! :D

The art is good, I love the movie, but I still don&;t understand how CWs can have so many restrictions on "looking like something else" and these are basically just copies of the Burton characters.

My thoughts too...

I think the color scheme and everything is more unified than the Calavera trunk...dunno if I'd buy the whole set.

So much win! Think I'll watch the film tonight in celebration of this costume trunk release.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The trunk image itself is very pretty:D

<p>To me, this is the same damn thing and it really is lame and boring to me that it&;s just another Tim Burton tribute costume trunk instead of something unique.

That's pretty much the point of the trunks to have tribute items. The tome was a tribute to games like Dragon Age. We had a couple Disney princesses, LOTR, Narnia, and so on. Trunks are most tributes than anything else onsite.

There had been a couple truly original trunks, but a whole lot of them were inspired by TV and movies. It's nothing new and trunks aren't really where the unique is at.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Gah! I wish there was an "edit" feature to the comments! The male set should've had a "grey" colored skin as the human characters in The Corpse Bride were greys and blacks in shades :P See? Just like this here

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Looks nice! Too bad the only thing I'd end up using would be the background...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The Nightmare Before Christmas trunk didn't have a female skeleton character, which was the only downside to that trunk.

The only thing I don't like about the Female trunk for this new trunk is that there's no background for the female outfit...:S

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Awesome that it's the Corpse Bride, but you're a little late :P

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

out of curiosity, anyone know who did these trunks?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Really unimpressed with these which makes me sad. I wanted to like these.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, the theme is similar to the Calavera trunk, but the individual items are fairly different... at least the female items.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Your comment reminded me of this, "I'm not fat. I'm just big boned." I was too distracted by the arm and leg looking blurry earlier for that to come to me. XD

Isn&;t the calavera trunk supposed to be corpse bride? Am I missing something here? Why do we need 2?

It was Nightmare Before Christmas.

Look up "Minion Sanctuary" cheap there.

ermahgad double eyebrows!! blasphemy!!!

jk but uh, this trunk's quality reminds me of the beauty & the beast one. It also seems quite lackluster of Subeta so many wedding-themed trunks :c

It took me a while to realize that Emily's arm was supposed to be a skeleton arm. It's a bit...big, no? Would've thought it'd be a lot thinner and more, ah, bare?

Aside from that the trunk is pretty, I guess

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Apart from the man's spooky eyes, I love every piece of this. They all look like really nice items; I'm not sure which set I'd get first! Nice job :)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Love both the male and female and bought them both right away! I especially love scraps! Am I the only one without complaints? I think they look great! :)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Eh.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Love, love, love those beady eyes.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow, there's so much criticism but i really like a lot of the pieces out of this...i'll definitely be buying the male set for the hair, background, dog and eyes, at least! The groom's hair is pretty close to something i've been wanting. Not quite...but about as close as any item here has gotten. :P

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The concept is awesome, especially since I am a big time Burton fan and love the movie that inspired this trunk. The execution is not so awesome. I agree with the comments from quite a few others here that it seems chunky. While I would jump at it normally, I think I'll wait to get some of the pieces from other users later on.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hmm.. Corpse Bride? I love this movie, but the line art is chunky and flat. :( I will probably be getting the Scraps item and maybe possibly the background, but overall the art is definitely lacking. To be honest, and this is going to sound a bit stuck up, but I did my own Emily cosplay on subeta and it almost definitely looked better than this.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

These look to be a little blurry, though maybe it's just my screen? Besides that, the layering looks a little iffy (on the male set, at least) and midsection of the clothing (his top/the top of her dress) seems a little bulky. I like his eyes and her hair, though.
