UPDATE: New sponson/ weapon end doors made and undergoing final fitting. Also started on a stand for this one:

   

Stay tuned...

With the stand, it would look really cool with a sandy look. I always remember a lot of scenes of it flying low along the desert

Huh. I guess this means Sandman season 2 has been confirmed? Maybe I just don't remember...

Still, a bit odd that the spinoff would premiere before those characters are introduced in the main show. Or maybe not, I can see how they'd make it work.

It’s Netflix. Who knows if it’s cancelled or not. The best thing to do if it’s a show you liked is to assume it’s over and then be happily surprised if it’s even getting half a new season

It looks like Jenny Wright has not acted since 1998, so probably not.

There’s always time for a comeback

Care to elaborate? Feel free to dm. Just asking because I find myself currently in a re-watch (and dead gods this aged badly).

I haven’t watched those versions, but from my understanding they did some odd alterations and a bit of censorship with the movies

Nice work on that old kit

You're kidding, right?

As for the changes in position or the holes. This was hand drawn animation remember.

Yeah, I was just kiddin. It’s just funny that in all three above pictures of it above in battroid mode, there’s odd differences. The first two have an orange head and the last one is only tan. The first is missing a thin black stripe at the top of the chest plate and the bullet holes are all over the place. It makes it look like a team of newbies all got shot down within seconds

Jeffrey Wright will reportedly play a live-action version of The Watcher.

Are you sure it’s not Jenny instead of Jeffrey

New promotional photos for Digsta 1/24 Hokuto No Ken ZEED & KENSHIRO.

I’m really excited for these. I need some smaller figures due to lack of space and these look great especially for such a small scale.

(But I can't get past how the two minor characters on the right have the same exact face...)

I didn’t notice it earlier. But they’re exactly the same just one is slightly darker. Even the shadows are the exact same. They just got lazy and copy pasted faces

It’s funny how the bullet hole locations kept shifting around from one scene to the next!

Nah, those are different 1-D’s. You can tell by the head coloring

The intro art was cool  but these VF's all look stubby and mis proportioned . And don't get me started on the "VHT prototype Zero.."

What’s with the bandaid on his nose? 
Did he get shot down?………Again

I saw that online. Is it real ??

There’s really no competition right now. 

Finished the available episodes of 97 and I think I hate Sunspot. I don’t remember liking him that much to begin with, but I really hate him here. Morph is far less annoying though. For the most part I like the show and it doesn’t feel like I have to force myself to watch it. I do think episode four was a total filler episode though and definitely the low point so far. I’m a little disappointed that the didn’t reset the system at the end of the first story in the episode.

It’s at the end of Episode 1, when Hikaru comes under fire while flying with Roy, loses control, and starts falling towards the city.  He changes to Gerwalk, and that’s the first time you see bullet (laser?) holes on the top of his VF-1D. After he crashes through the buildings and stands up in Battroid mode, the bullet holes are on the chest plate.

I kinda figured that’s when it happened, but it’s been a while. Thanks for the clarification 

Watch the first of the 97 episodes and I still don’t like Rogues voice, at she’s not as screechy. She sounds more like an old lady. Wolverine also sounds like an elderly person, although he actually is technically. Cyclops seems to have learned some tricks since the old episodes that are kinda a mix between silly and extremely cool. Zipping around the floor looked silly, but his landing after the blackbird gets trashed was pretty epic. Morph seems to have lost his nose since the old episodes and Bishop sounds completely different. An odd one was Gyrich being in jail for a murder of someone that they all saw go to space and Magneto wanting to take what was given to him in a will from the same guy that he personally saw leaving and very much alive in the last episode of the original run.

still a few more available episodes to watch, but I gotta get back to shoveling snow on a hot spring day

Expect more of the same from the new show.

I swear it’s like the Cliff’s Notes/abridged versions of better comic book stories.

I don’t have high expectations for it. Was just outside shoveling snow for the last couple hours, now it’s time for a break and I’m gonna start the 97 episodes.

as an odd note it’s a warm sunny day in So Cal, yet there’s a bunch of snow from last night. My hand was hurting from the cold while wiping the snow off my windshield, yet I’m all hot and sweaty from the heat. It’s confusing and I need a little cartoon break since it’s still Saturday morning 

Finally finished off the old episodes. It was Saturday morning and time for cartoons. The last season of the show for the most part was consistent with the previous couple seasons until the last three episodes. All the final season episodes did have the alternate intro that was only in a small handful before, but the last three episodes seemed like a different art team had taken over. The Cannonball episode was particularly weird looking. I get that it was Kentucky, but everyone was extra derpy. Even Rogue looked weird. The final episode looked like they tried to bring back the other artists and it ended up looking more like a mix of aesthetics. The music was extra bad in  the last few episodes as well. The final season also leaves off at an odd spot with the Professor heading to space and Magneto about to start World War Three. 
 

Overall, it’s a kids show and a very sanitized version of the story with animation that sometimes looks amazing, but usually disappoints. The voice acting is usually subpar, but you can tell that these amateur voice actors gradually become a bit more comfortable with their acting. Rogue had the most annoying voice and I probably mentioned it before, but it’s like nails on a chalkboard but does calm down and only sounds occasionally like a dying cat. Storm up till the last few episodes sounded like she had Down syndrome, but surprisingly the best voice was from one of my least favorite characters. Jubilee was somehow the only one that had a voice actor that didn’t seem to be overdoing it or falling asleep. She was really consistent from the beginning of the show to the very end. That wasn’t something I expected. Cyclops after maybe the first season or two had become far better in the voices and was pretty good as well, but the first few episodes needed a little work. Morph became far less annoying than he was in his first couple appearances. Xavier was kinda the William Shatner of the group.

After finishing that I did a rewatch of that Pryde of the X-Men pilot and I got a say that that was definitely the superior show. Everything from voices to music and animation were great and the only complaint I have is Australian Wolverine. I guess crocodile Dundee was popular back then and there really wasn’t a Canadian equivalent or something. Even Colosus had a great fight and for some reason he’s usually kind of a forgotten or ignored character until Deadpool. It also had a somewhat cheesy, yet catchy intro. Although the Japanese opening for the 90’s show is still the best by far although I’m not sure if that counts and why we should cry for the moon.

Not my favorite design, but sometimes a great paint job can really make a big impact. It looks awesome

Thanks for the clarifications, all. Is there a particular for the battle damage? Like is there a particularly iconic scene/art of the VF-1D looking like that? Oof, my memory of SDFM is so faded now...

I couldn’t find the picture, but it had the prototype of the VF-1D with the decals on the chest and in the background it had pictures from the show with the battle damage. I think it was the scene right before he crashed , but it could also have been while he was fumbling around with his new lady friend. It’s been a while for me as well

There is precedent for the character, and they did introduce Silver Surfer in FF2, now whether you liked it or not..? I'm interested to see if they are merely doing a gender flip (which really doesn't bother me in the least) or if they will take from the character's actual past and use that in the story.

To tell the truth, my one draw back so far is Pedro Pascal. I like him enough as an actor, but I never pictured him as Reed. I'll have to see it in action.

I can deal with Pedro easier than just bringing in a goofy barely Silver Surfer. It’s like if they introduced a non Peter Parker Spider-Man and went with a spidey that wasn’t even the miles morales one. It’s the replacement of a replacement character. It’s just lame

I watched it the other day, and I don’t think this really adds anything new other than the little smidge of Disney news, I do always have fun with the presentation 

Will the rerelease get a popcorn bucket of one of the eggs opening

I hope that Goodsmile takes a shot with their Moderoids going in all retro directions.

I think that’s the most likely product at this point. Anytime I think of something that’s a bit older, moderoid usually answers. Some of their items have been real surprises, like Madox, or Brain Powered or Escaflowne, or Magical Knight Rayearth and Iczer One for examples. They’re a bit all over the nostalgia anime and I really do feel that Bubble Gum Crisis is just a matter of time
