    The new wave of Mega Man toys is available for preorder at BBTS: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?Brand=1755&Company=341&o=1

    Sadly there doesn’t seem to be a way to add all pieces in just one set. Maybe I can figure something out once I have my set in hand.

    Very nice, definite buy. I think Elecman was the first Robot Master I ever defeated when I played Mega Man for the first time on my Game Boy.

    I‘m disappointed in the Lego Artemis 1 set. The start ramp takes up most of the bricks (I read somewhere that it’s 22/27 bags in the set). The rocket is significantly smaller than the Lego Saturn V, even if the team rockets are almost the same size. And the set comes with copious small stickers that will be a nightmare to align.

    I preordered one from HLJ, thanks.

    I thought the idea is that after WW2 they diverted from our reality by focusing their effort on developing better nuclear fission reactors instead of going the integrated circuit route our reality took. So it’s not like they were stagnant for a long time. All their electronics look a bit old fashioned (i.e. CRT based) but powered by mini nuclear reactors. It was how the game designers envisioned in the late 90s (at a time were the whole flat LCD screen in your hand aesthetic wasn’t a thing) to signify that the Fallout universe is different from ours but still familiar and the franchise ran with it

    I might have to get the Hot Toys Darth Revan. How much is the MSRP? HLJ has it for ¥40000 but I guess they have to import stock from HK so that might not be the best route to go.

    There is not much story overlap between the series and the game because the series takes place much later than the first games (that are also set in the California area Fallout 1&2 but start at 2161). The Bethesda games are set. Fallout 3&4 (2277 & 2287) take place in the North East of the US and Fallout 76 (2102) in the Appalachian area. The show takes place in 2296 so quite a bit apart from the first game. There are some location cameos like Shady Sands but I haven’t found a lot of overlap between the games besides general themes and the setting.

    That looks like an eclectic mix of materials and finishes. It doesn’t seem to follow any kind of pattern. Do we know why this is the case snd were Bandai is drawing its inspiration from? I think I couldn’t come up with something like this, even if I tried really hard.

    Some would say (like myself) that Powermaster Prime is the better G1 Optimus Prime toy. And I want a good version of it. Sadly Takara seems unable to produce good Masterpiece toys anymore. They struggled before, producing some of the worst figures in my collection, but especially some of the Carbots, Megatron and Optimus were quite good. I would say MP-10 till MP-22 was the golden age of the Masterpiece line. I will following the release of the toy and maybe buy a Nucleon Quest version if they do it but I‘m preordering this. However, after how bad MP-49 Nemesis Convoy turned out I not so certain on the Nucleon Quest one either. Oh well, FansToys will eventually run out of US G1 toys so they will come to Ginrai if you give them time.

    I don’t understand what is going on here. I might be sour because the MPG Raiden I bought is mostly terrible but this looks like another half-assed effort to me. Besides the arms that look like the designer just gave up I wonder whats up with all the mis-colored parts? The blue showing on the hinges in truck mode, the half and half colored chest block in super mode, the visible blue thighs in the cab chest block and the blue colored hinges on the shoulders in super mode. They all look out of place. I‘m not a line art expert but does the super mode backpack is supposed to look like that? Especially the area behind the head. Ever since Power Baser that area is of particular interest to me since man Power Master toys seem to struggle making the area look purposeful. Looking back I think Make Toys still made the best looking Power Master Optimus Prime. All the G1 versions seem to struggle to look cool to me.

    I’m sure the will do the new Desthwing Terminators eventually. It was just unfortunate that: 1. they didn’t release any regular Deathwing Terminator troops and 2. GW just released new Deathwing Terminators when JoyToy announced theirs. I wonder what the communications with GW sounded when JoyToy decided to release the Deathwing. I hope they do announce Sammael in his jetbike soon.

    So the front of the thighs are chromed and that’s what’s causing the shadow. The arms sticking up in trailer mode remain a mystery.
