    Wow, I wasn’t expecting that ab crunch!!!

    so many battroid kits have had a separation there and some have had a polycap or joint, but that is far better than I expected. There’s a lot more posing potential there, but now I need to see some knee mobility pics

    Harmony Gold is actually one of the few places we're sure the DYRL distribution license ISN'T

    The DYRL problem, as I understand it, is that it a whole bunch of bankruptcies and mergers happened after it was licensed. We know it WAS licensed, but no one's sure where the license wound up in the end or how long it was good for. There's a few companies that think they might have it, and everyone's waiting for someone else to make a move.

    I think someone should just make a move and see what happens. At worst they’d have to share profits. Maybe if one of them started a kickstarter with the assumption that they may get sued could end up covering the legal costs. Or maybe they should just team up for once and put all the pettiness aside

    I know I'm overthinking it, but when I think of Fox Kids's X-Men, the last year of its original run I want to think of is '97, when the production quality was at its worst and the show's relevance was at its nadir. I suppose '66 and '97 might've been picked for sounding better...

    I haven’t gotten to the final season yet on my rewatch since season four is an extra long one compared to the past, but I will take a guess that the quality is probably far better than given credit here. I’ll find out for sure pretty soon though, but from what I can confirm is that the show started out like absolute garbage and the quality had gotten far better as the show went on and while I can’t see the quality getting worse, I may end up wrong. Even at it’s best the show is sub par compared to DC shows around the 90’s

    As far as the title, it makes sense to differentiate the old episodes and new. And it helps to keep people from being confused. It takes place in 97, not 91 or 92 and definitely not 2024. Nobody started referring to Batman as Batman 89 until there were a billion reboots and disconnected appearances. When Keaton/Burton Batman came out, it was just Batman and the comics that connected to it used that 89 title to let you know which Batman they were talking about. And the Batman 66 title had a similar story. People for decades just referred to it as tv Batman or movie Batman

    True, but they’re actually utilizing his copycat skills a lot more interestingly in the new series.

    Also, it seems like

      Hide contents

    they’re letting him have some of the physical attributes of the people he impersonates (like Archangel’s wings or Collossus’ metal body).

    Honestly, it seems like they’re blurring the lines between his and comic book Mimic’s powers.  But whatever.  Makes for interesting visuals.

     

    They had actually added that ability in season four. I recently saw one where he was actually using the abilities of those he copied to help fight. He didn’t seem to have that in any of his previous appearances and honestly I forgot about that until my rewatching started. I thought all he could do was to copy the looks

    Grungy JLTV is complete. Starting to work on some stowage. Doors are not glued on. Will likely have at least a couple of them open once I settle on a diorama idea.

    Had a moment of horror just before I started weathering. I was squeezing some white paint out of one of those Valejo bottles onto a pallet and had the model too close. Opening had some dried paint on it that let loose and squirted white paint on the model. I quickly was able to remove most of it, but not entirely. Had to apply some weathering a bit heavier in certain areas to hide what remained.

    It turned out really great. Nice and muddy. The windshield looks awesome with those wiper streaks

    This, right there! There were so many top-notch actors in the prequels, but when you (I) watch them, all I see is the horrible acting. It takes a special kind of director to turn A-listers into Cs... Sorry George, but you should have brought your ex on to help out.

    They really felt like they were just phoning it in. Great talent in many cases, but it wasn’t just that they had bad dialogue, they just didn’t seem to care.

    Does it even need to be on the timeline?  I mean, the Legend of Zelda timeline's pretty much entirely for show and has no bearing on any of the stories that make it up.

    I took a couple decades off and now he has a motorcycle and can make vehicles. Heck I don’t even remember if he could ride a horse before the 90’s

    I love The Boys, it's a great show, and I'd love to collect these and a full lineup of The Seven, but these prices are insane. Coupled with the lack of accessories on most of these and it's a pass, I get Mafex is gonna Mafex, but these prices are insane. 

    I don’t actually buy many of the mafex figures due to price, so something has to be a favorite character done really well. I did buy Brown suit Wolverine and Gambit, but I probably won’t buy many other figures. That being said, if Hasbro would do a bit better in quality, looks and packaging I’d buy from them. For now, I’m stuck avoiding certain figures either due to being priced out from Japanese figures or being disappointed by American toys.

    The only issue is that Link will almost certainly actually have dialogue... which will be every bit as weird as hearing a Mario that doesn't have Charles Martinet's over-the-top Italian accent.  Not a dealbreaker, just a weird thought as someone who's used to Link as an unspeaking protagonist.

    It’s definitely gonna be a little weird hearing a voice, especially since he hasn’t had one since the early 90’s. As far as the og stuff, your inner voice reacting to his situation was basically supposed to be his voice. Wether that was screaming out in joy when you finally beat a tough spot in the game or frustration at the cost of an item and grumbling in your head about how much you wanted to smack the dude running the shop. The Link is silent thing has kinda become a bigger idea in later games especially with ones that have voice acting.
    Something like breath of the wild kinda takes that away and makes Link seem almost mentally deficient. It’s a great game as far as gameplay, but the characters and cutscenes kinda suck.

    I also noticed the minovsky particle detection sensor decal... sometimes you have to get creative with decals from the spares pile when your kit lacks bespoke decals.

    I noticed it as well, but I had searched for images of this thing the other day and it was hard to find images other than just kite symbols. Sometimes you gotta add a little flavor to make things pop. And sometimes there’s no other decals laying around other than a few from a leftover gundam. I think the finished model looks great and if it hadn’t, I wouldn’t have been so interested in looking up images on a design that doesn’t seem to get any attention
