It's possible my Alto is not the same level of whiteness as it was when new but my Luca and Maruyama are a similar hue. I think the revival version might be a little more pure white and the matte finish may also catch the light better making it look even brighter when being photographed.

I think it's just a color and finish change. I'll poke 'em a bit more as I handle it with the armor.

I didn't mention it because I have only seen that be an issue on the Nightmare Plus. I don't remember seeing it as a problem for the original Alto, Luca, or Maruyama. Everything is fine so far on both my original and Revival.

Thanks, I completely redid the written review on anymoon also which I think makes it a lot more useful and comprehensive... That's what made the review take so long.

BW has a pretty brutal track record when it comes to foreign interest but the times may be changing.

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
jenius replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I don't understand what's not to like about the trailer. It's just a teaser, has a lot of action, has some good actors in it. That's why I would guess it's just review bombing. People going "I hate Disney, you ruined Star Wars" thumbs down. I wonder how close in time the girl Jedi saying "I see fire" is to the events that follow. Maybe she's a bad little Jedi? Honestly, I'm so burnt out on Marvel and Star Wars. I haven't caught up on all the shows for either and don't know if I ever will. For Star Wars, I think I've only missed Andor and Obi Wan. -

I picture George Lucas going "Again, but more wooden!" I imagine this was also a green screen shooting fest which had to make things very difficult on the actors. That said, the Matrix folks seemed to do a whole lot better.- 326 replies

Yeah, not sure on Hayden but it would have taken a real masterpiece to elevate that writing. As much as I can hate on the sequels for lacking a cohesive plan, George had a lot of time and no other chefs in the kitchen when he came up with the prequels. TPM was very hard to overcome...- 326 replies

Lol, I love the idea that Vader was purely motivated by a hatred of sand.- 326 replies

The designs are probably the intellectual property of TRex and the toy companies lease them and pay a fixed development cost plus a per unit produced amount. Trex probably reduces the fixed cost of some of the engineering that can be carried forward. For the VF-171, Bandai allegedly specified they wanted the you to be as unique as possible and probably paid the full engineering price. They probably have some period of exclusivity included in the initial design work or maybe even a exclusivity ongoing charge they offer.

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
jenius replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I think everyone really ought to stick to Acolyte conversation here and not let this prequel teaser clip veer us back into discussions of what was worse, the prequel or sequel trilogies. That has been litigated and re-litigated numerous times on this board for people to go back and skim through. I think that can be summed up as "there are valid arguments in both camps for why both are worse, and elements of both that we can argue are better, so it's okay to be in either camp." -
Not surprising Chirico is a little on the small side, the cockpits are very tight for pilots with standard dimensions.
