  1. Past hour
  2. Having read a whole bunch of the manga... that's how I hope it ends too.
  3. Let's Play dropped its fourth episode, and honestly this series is still kind of headache inducing to watch. The story fairly screams that its creator has at-most superficial knowledge of the "gamer culture" that it's supposedly deconstructing, it does demonstrate a very clear understanding of one thing: toxic online fandom. There's actually a very good moment early in this episode where Marshall Law's YouTuber girlfriend talks him out of attempting to publicly apologize to Sam for his overwhelmingly negative review of her game and shame his fans into deleting their negative reviews. She practically recites John Gabriel's Greater Internet F*ckwad Theory while explaining to him how his fans, being anonymous and knowing their actions are largely consequence-free, will likely double down instead of doing as he asks and not only make Sam's life worse but turn on him as well. The first halfway interesting thing this series has done is show Marshall grappling with the desire to make things right and the knowledge the internet simply won't let him undo the damage, and making things worse with the person he's trying to apologize to in the process. Sadly, that moment of actually-interesting character writing is short-lived and the series quickly pivots to its usual cringeworthy nonsense.
  4. Just finished Wayward on Netflix. Kinda a mix of a cult horror thing and a Y.A. Type story mixed into one. It has all the awkwardness of both genres, but lacks the excitement making for a kinda dull weird watch that gets increasingly frustrating. You get left waiting for these people to finally make their moves and when things actually start to happen, the show ends at a cliffhanger. It’s a limited series, so there’s no expectation of more episodes and seems after doing some research, that it has not been given a second season. Basically, if you want to watch a boring show that will just make you feel awkward without a pay off and no ending, then this is probably a great show, but for everyone else, I’d recommend staying away and save yourself a few hours to spend doing household chores for a more enjoyable day
  5. It’s definitely a bit tough to tell here. She does have a very similar build to the male figures which is out of place for a property like G.I.Joe, but realistically makes sense. Tough female soldiers in real life rarely have a feminine build, and if they’re supposed to be elite guards they’re probably gonna be more manly. The Zap figure below her has a similar hip and waist and almost looks like he even has a bigger chest than her
  6. To bad they couldn't figure out an extension gimmick for the grip to make it last flat but, even then, it would have to be nearly lying on the ground to clear the waist area.
  7. with the gunpod... https://twitter.com/simsim5479/status/1982444341974208610
  8. Today
  9. A wild last boss appeared was so funny yesterday. Onsen episode.
  10. Injured my left hand and can't play games so gave this series a go and it's waaaay better than expected. The pilot was a slow burn but the series got more and more interesting. Good cast and sci-fi story so I recommend it as binge worthy since it's only six hour long episodes.
  11. Looks like the nosegear has the same issue as the YF-21, where it doesn't seem to be able to QUITE fully unfold, leaving a kink/gap in the middle of the strut.
  12. full-scale fighter-shots at Heppoko's tweet below... https://twitter.com/simsim5479/status/1982436897487290452 web-translated: downscaled sample:
  13. Understandable. After all, The Rise of Skywalker was a pile of desperate corporate-dictated course corrections in a trench coat pretending to be a movie. 🫤 's kind of why I've been arguing that there's no saving The Rise of Skywalker's big bad switcheroo plot twist no matter how much setup you do. He's still an outside-context problem brought in because the studio probably felt Kylo Ren's villain cred was insufficient to carry the final third of the trilogy.
  14. I ordered Ultimate Iron Man yesterday from a local store. It is really a matter of luck with Marvel Legends figures for me. Local Stores don't import everything, but they imported Ultimate Iron Man to my luck. Figers crossed for Gameverse Punisher & Nick Fury two pack. Ultimate Iron Man has a nostalgic value for me. When i saw the Ultimate Iron Man Armor Design, i really liked it so much back in the day and followed Ultimate Iron Man Comics monthly. I was so disappointed when i found out that Ultimate Iron Man series was just a mini series. I was really enjoying it.
  15. MAKKUSU!!! A quick snap while cleaning my bead headboard. and testing new phone photo filters.
  16. Pilot seat does not rotate on the Bandai DX Kai: https://twitter.com/TakowasaShell/status/1982051807846429098 --- add/edit: Heppoko recently tweeted his DX Kai comparo-pics.

  17. Apparently as @itachi_neko points out, the battroid pilot hatch gimmick is still present. I find it wierd it's not present in the manual, just a little easter egg. It seems the Yamcadia DNA runs even deeper than I thought. https://x.com/itachi_neko/status/1982369012760940786/photo/2
  18. Yesterday was the 3rd party panel of the Chicago TFCon. In true FansToys fashion they rained on the parade of DX9 and 01-Studio by announcing their Datsuns and Broadside: I find it funny that their Scavenger doesn’t look like an undefined blob of a shape (other than FT Bonecrusher): The only thing I’m going to preorder are the Datsuns. Broadside is interesting but at 700mm (28”) length much too big for me. Other than that I am super excited for this years exclusive: Fans Hobby Euro G1 Predator Skyquake
  19. Apparently T-Rex is involved in the Chogokin VF-19 design (along with a bunch of Yamato/Arcadia classics including the Arcadia YF-19), wonder who did the YF-21?
  20. Is that supposed to be a female crimson guard? 🤔
