    They block the intakes in fighter mode right? What's funny is, if they were just mounted under the intakes, they'd still be facing forward in armo soldier mode anyway, without further complicating the transformation.

    Oh, I am definitely feeling some resistance towards the colors and the face. 😁

    1/55's revisited

    danth replied to kanata67's topic in Toys

    I feel like nothing good can come from "improvements" on an HG/Toynami project. I just want the QC of the original 80s toys (tight clicky ratchets and no gaps) with tampo printing.

    Yeah, the head sucks. I am tempted though. They'll for sure make different versions with different heads...right?

    I'll admit to being a sucker for some collabs, but they definitely go too far sometimes.

    The boxes are great. Hopefully these are through some partnership with Bandai and the quality isn't crap.

    1/55's revisited

    danth replied to kanata67's topic in Toys

    Yeah, it only took them 40 years to get the toys they should have gotten originally. Well, I would consider getting Bandai releases of the 1/55s if they renewed the molds. I wasn't impressed with the last batch of re-releases with weak ratchets and the big gap between the chest/back in fighter mode. I'd be super down for a Bandai Missing Link 1/55, but I don't really want any cosmetic "improvements" that Toynami has to offer. New head sculpts kill the nostalgia.

    FYI, none of the "Forgot my password" or "Contact Us" functions work right now. I tried both and the emails never come. Yes, I checked my junk folder. I got a new computer and couldn't log in until I extracted my passwords from my old computer's SSD.

    Maybe this is inflation talking, but those prices seem highly reasonable. I really don't need to start another collection...

    Orguss tank mode?

    The new Joe figures look good, but that Falcon card art is butt-ass fugly.

    Not a fan of the 2004 Nightforce camo pattern. It's just...plaid.

    Same. Let this zombie franchise die. The last six trilogy movies sucked. And movies in general suck now. It's all CGI slop with no heart.

    I want the Void Rivals, even though I know nothing about them. I just like retro o-ring figures. There's no way I'm going to SDCC though. Not sure how normal people acquire these kind of things besides eBay.

    Also, will we get old Impa, fat Impa, or badass warrior Impa?

    Budo looks pretty good. I wonder why they didn't include his sai.

    That sucks. That white piece has been redesigned a few times, supposedly for better durability, but now I'm not so sure that worked out. The ones you have there look like the newest design. The old ones had thicker clips. They didn't, with very few, specific exceptions, like torso stickers on some of the 1978 sets. I hate stickers and think Lego should print everything. Cobi, Mega, Funwhole, etc print basically everything these days so there's no excuse. I mean, I've heard the excuses that Lego PR shills repeat but they fall apart under scrutiny.

    Asking prices on eBay should be ignored. Those listings stay around forever because they never sell. Listings for reasonable prices sell quickly, so you never see them. As a result, people only see the high prices and assume they must be what those items are worth, when the opposite is true.

    Space Baby!

    Got my Super 7 Reaction + Wave 3 just now. The Snake Eyes is pretty dang awesome. I wish he came with more and better accessories (*cough* Timber) but I can't complain about the figure at all.

    Surprised that's the take away, and not He-Man being brunet with no muscles.
  22. danth
    'been a He-Man fan for “pretty much my entire life.”' casts Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man Choose one. 😁 Actually maybe Galitzine is just Prince Adam but not He-Man. I like Elba as Man At Arms though. If there's no homoerotic undertones between him and He-Man, the fans will be pissed.

    Sky F.A.N.G.?

    The all new Classified figs are looking way better. Monkeywrench is thankfully free of mall ninja plates, random seam lines, and textures that make no sense. Unlike Bludd and the Troopers which are older sculpts and have the typical visual noise. I don't even want to say what the Trooper's face masks look like...yikes.

    So during all this Renegade talk, I actually built mine, finally, this past weekend. And my opinion hasn't changed. I do have new appreciation for how they fit the hexagonal flag with the Blacktron symbol onto the nose. The curved wedge slopes on each fit perfectly against the flag, with zero gap. I still think the area under the flag needed to be built out more. But really, there were no surprises or "you can do that?" moments in the build, like there were with the Galaxy Explorer. The main thing I remember is SO MUCH YELLOW. Also, the landing gear are not easy to get out.
